Experiencing Interruptions?

Half-woman, half-fish - documentary film

Half-woman, half-fish is a documentary which shows a day in the life of a woman (Blanka 75) and is in fact a compilation of all of her days in a year. Her day begins with daily activities common for one person / woman who lives alone in the countryside along the river. Her loyal companion is her dog Nina. As the day progresses, the woman transforms into an entrepreneur engaged in fish farming. This documentary points to the rejection of imposed identity by a woman, while the fish represents survival and advancement - it is food and at the same time a silent being, a symbol which connects the visible and the invisible.

Director Biography - Dražena Bašić Lovrić, Vanja Popović

Vanja Popović - From youthful attempts to understand themselves and others, I have developed a tendency to explore different states of consciousness. Psychology is my profession, but over the years, and the film's needs and has become a mandatory part of my life. I notice that the people around me, eager to prove themselves, to achieve success, and ultimately survive - type in different, sometimes funny accidents. I am no different. It amuses me to write and make films about it, in fact - to play, to point to something and maybe change something.


Dražena Bašić Lovrić - In short, I am an architect and person multidisciplinary education, in a constant process of research, work on it and learn about the world around me with eyes wide open. I enjoy representing the artistic expression: writing for film, film-making, drawing, painting, architecture, interior design and I'm happy when I see that I touched other people with it.
