The Split Watercolour
Director Boris Poljak
Countries
Duration 15 min
Synopsis
Žnjan, one of the beaches in Split, was created by filling the coastline with the sand and soil from the sea. It’s not organized like a proper beach therefore is used also as a parking lot which characterizes it as a city beach for not so wealthy citizens. The objects of the film are people on the beach who are filmed with a powerful telephoto lens in everyday situations typical for the beach life. The swimmers, the sea, the cars and boats vibrate in the hotness of a summer day like a moving pointilistic painting. It is as if their slow rhythm creates a picture of their bare existence.
