Refusal to War
Armed with 1980's soundtracks and fully protected with headband bandanas and plaided flannel shirts around hips, driven by courage and pride, the young of Sarajevo defend their besieged city in 1992. Using almost supernatural power, we succeed in stopping the aggressor set not only to kill, but to destroy all the culture and civilization in this multifaceted small European city. We were not separated by our religions, nationalities, ethnicities, nor color of the skin.

The Pink Tyrant
High school. Wednesday. All the students wear pink sweaters, shirts, trousers, and skirts. Come any other day to our school, and you'll see the depressing black color on hormonal, buzzing teenagers who didn't get much sleep the previous night. But come Wednesday, we all wear pink with big smiles on our faces. Our chemistry professor is dressed entirely in pink and purple: clothing, shoes, stockings, bags, glasses, pencils, notebooks, nails, hairpins…teaching how to fix poison while smiling.

The Shadow Behind a Curtain
The terror in Psycho doesn’t come from what we see, but from how we see it: through keyholes and from behind curtains. In Psycho, the shadow isn’t just a cinematographic choice—it’s a confession. The true genius of the Oedipal buffet of Psycho lies in the mirror it holds up. We scream at our own shadows. Psycho forces us to look at the parts of ourselves we’d rather flush away.
