Ljerka Njerš in the omnibus “Eight Chapters”, 2023.
april 3rd 2023
In this year’s program, the ZagrebDox film festival also presents the Croatian omnibus ‘Osam poglavlja’ by a group of authors, which tells about women’s identity through the story of eight women in eight decades of life.
Director Tiha K. Gudac explained that each of the women portrayed in the film, ranging from a five-year-old girl to an 85-year-old lady, is at a specific moment in life that is somehow related to female identity, with the challenges of being a woman in some way .
“The topic of feminine and femininity has somehow been present lately, and this is one of the films that, in a layered way, wants to make an overview of the course of women’s life through a collage approach,” she said.
The stories do not touch each other, they are not montage-combined, but chronologically arranged, and Gudac directed the last story, a portrait of Ljerka Njerš, an artist and designer.
“I’m very glad that such a story is at the end, because it provides a ‘dot on the i’ where she celebrates life. She is a woman who carries life experience with her and is full of colors, beauty, and enthusiasm for life,” she pointed out.
