IN PRAISE OF NOTHING
Dir.: Boris Mitic
2017 | 78 min
Serbia, Croatia, France
A whistleblowing documentary parable about Nothing, in which Nothing, tired of being misunderstood, runs away from home and comes to address us for the first and the last time. Researched through 20.000 pages of a most eclectic bibliography, shot over 8 years by 62 cinematographers in 70 countries; scored by cabaret grandmasters Pascal Comelade and the Tiger Lillies; narrated – in simple childlike verse – by Iggy Pop.
In English with Latvian subtitles.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director.
