Wild Flowers
Karla Crnčević
10 min., 2022, Croatia/Spain, Croatian with English subtitles
Wild Flowers uses footage of a destroyed family house in the village of Radovčići in Croatia, recorded by the filmmaker's father in 1992. Initiated by an impulse to rethink and rewatch footage from the family archive, the film explores memory and its relation to documentation and non-institutional archival practices. Bringing politics into intimate spaces, the documentary asks questions about the influence of war on identity formation, and posits gardens as sites of new beginnings.
