The New Directors/New Films series at Film at Lincoln Center and MOMA features enticing new works, notably 'Fiume o Morte!' by Igor Bezinović and 'Lost Chapters' by Lorena Alvarado. The former intertwines archival footage and interviews depicting the rise and fall of a proto-Fascist regime in Rijeka, creating a chilling yet darkly comedic historical narrative. The latter film, starring Alvarado's family, weaves a literary detective story about family, history, and poetry, illustrating daily life with emotional depth. Both films exemplify innovative storytelling in contemporary cinema.
Bezinović gathers archival footage and photos to re-enact events in Rijeka, capturing the chilling rise and fall of a regime through interviews with nonprofessionals.
In 'Lost Chapters,' Ena's discovery of a historical author leads her on a literary journey, questioning existence, while her grandmother creates poignant, spontaneous poetry.
