Inventur – Metzstrasse 11, 1975, Federal Republic of Germany, 9 min.
Logbook_Serbistan, 2015, Serbia, 94 min.
Director: Želimir Žilnik

Two films, made forty years apart, show the continued commitment of the Serbian filmmaker Želimir Žilnik to political causes. Made in 1975, Inventur belongs to Žilnik’s German period.

Made four decades later, in 2015, Logbook_Serbistan is a joyful take on the road-movie genre, addressing the recent influx of refugees storming “Fortress Europe.”


Keimena, a documenta 14 Film Program on ERT2, airs Mondays at midnight from December 19, 2016 to September 18, 2017. Each film can be viewed during the broadcast and streamed on demand for seven days thereafter. Please note that the films are presented in their original language with Greek subtitles, and can be streamed from within Greece only.
