Eighty Plus (Restitucija, ili, San i java stare garde), 2025, Želimir Žilnik

Crossing Europe 

May 16, 2025

Crossing Europe Festival Linz presents two highlights from the festival's 2025 program.
 
With Eighty Plus (2025), 82-year-old Želimir Žilnik, once the protagonist of a radical Yugoslavian cinema with films like Early Works (1969), has created a wonderfully mischievous late work, still walking the fine line between documentary and fiction.
 
An essay film about giraffes, the world's biggest land animal, conveying not only nature's beauty and biological facts, but also diverse cultural anthropology and historical contexts: SR (2024) by Lea Hartlaub.

In collaboration with Crossing Europe Filmfestival Linz
