Filmmaking is a constant improvisation from many aspects. In most of
my films I had no idea how it would end. I just trusted myself and in
a way I let myself free in front of the image wealth of the hidden
cinematic moments. There is a lot of fear in that, and it is really
painful sometimes not knowing what are you doing -where it is heading
at all. But I have understood that this is a much more stimulative
process that fits my personal way of interpreting reality.

A maturation trip, the childish nightmare of K. In a wooden house,
she revives her childhood’ s fears and desires and experiences her
sexual awakening. A dreamy wandering constructed by the tale of three
little pigs, a distorted view of her own family.

A woman receives letters from a strange man. Present and absent this
man knows every little detail of her life. The new postman arrives at
this place. The characters live separately without any connection.
However seem to interweave their lives in an unusual way.

A boy and a girl meet in club’s toilet. High on drugs, they walk the
streets of Sarajevo aimlessly. They end up in an apartment, fooling
around, making out. Until this careless atmosphere is interrupted by
someone else’s presence.

Washingtonia starts when the giraffes heart can no longer be heard.
Washingtonia is an alternative name for Athens, a place where people,
like animals, fall into summertime sadness because of the heat.
Washingtonia is the only palm tree that its heart is not devoured by
the red beetle. Because it's heart is small and dry and no one likes
small and dry hearts.

Athens was covered by a strange yellow dust. At first everyone
thought it was sulfur but a few hours later the “Yellow Fieber”
erupted. No one expected what was about to happen, no one could tell
that the city would turn into a forest of palms. Yellow Fieber is a
story of the loss of a city.
