MYTHICAL

"Mythical“is a modern interpretation of the ancient Greek myth about Europa and Zeus. The viewer follows Europa while she walks through the scenery that looks like it was created by ancient gods. There are two suspense moments when the viewer figures out that Europa is not alone, that somebody watches her steps and she does not have a clue about that. At a certain moment, she becomes aware of a creature to whom she is both apprehensive and attracted at the same time. Who will be seduced, whose powers are greater?

The video is promoting the Island of Vrnik, one of the islands in the Archipelago of the Island of Korcula, Croatia. The Island of Vrnik is known for its thousands-of-year-old stone quarries that are a (missing) monument to the labor and skills of the generations of the local people. Stones from the quarries were used in the construction of towns on Korcula Island, the town of Dubrovnik, the region of Dalmatia, Croatia and abroad. Since the mid-20th century, quarries have been abandoned and nature has taken them over. The island used to have a population of 150, an elementary school, churches and its own identity. Today, only 2 - 3 people live year - around on the island. The little community has been under pressure from the growing number of tourists during the summer season who sometimes even enter their courtyards and houses in complete oblivion of entering somebody's homes. Filmed completely in the quarries except for the final drone scenes, the video invites visitors who are interested in history, local culture and heritage to explore and to discover, to go off the beaten track. In fact, to find a link to life once existed on the islands of Vrnik and nearby Korcula.

This is the latest video by "Imagine Korcula" Project that delivers an alternative to promotional videos about Korcula.

Director Statement

We dare to say that Island of Korcula and it's archipelago is like no other place so our mission is to make videos that clearly show the difference(s).

We believe video promotion in tourism in Croatia has a room for videos like this one and we know there is an audience that appreciate them as such.

We also dare to say that "M Y T H I C A L" is a Croatian tourism promotional video like no other!
