Whispers of the Wall
It is said that walls have ears. At this workshop we will ask the walls of Europa Cinema, the oldest cinema in town, to tell us the stories they hide. We will later retell these stories together, act, dance and sing along.
Based on archives, virtual and street research, children will build a series of small situations later performed indoors. The collected materials will be presented in a performance consisting of singing, impromptu dialogues, dramas, video materials and lectures on chosen spaces.
Age: 8-12

Vedran Senjanović
Vedran Senjanović was born 1988 in Zagreb. He graduated in journalism from the Zagreb Faculty of Political Sciences. Currently active as a cinematographer and editor, he is also working on his debut film. With Anja he shares a love of dogs, Star Wars and talking ravens. As a kid he was a real expert with the remote, first of his TV and VCR, then of a DVD player, and today he has insulating tape in one pocket and a cable in the other. He will edit whatever you want and has a firm opinion of which films he likes and which he dislikes. He spends his free time living in a basement (but not for long!) and follows his roommate Mario in his body building competitions.
Anja Pletikosa

She attended different school in different languages across Croatian, Austria, Germany. She takes children’s matters quite seriously, courtesy of all that Disney she saw as a little girl- mostly 101 Dalmatians and Robin Hood, as well as The Magician’s Hat and Secret of NIMH, her favourite cartoons she watched every day. In her free time she spends time with her dachshund Lusi and roommate Luka, and involves in endless discussions over posters and the like with Vedran.
