Sena lives all by herself in a Sarajevo cinema, working as a projectionist
who every day shows the few Yugoslavian films of which copies still remain.
The silence, the everyday motions and the films projected from her living
room all combine to show a day in Sena’s life. The projected films take us
on a journey through Sena’s past, restoring both collective and personal
memory and honouring many Yugoslavian actresses such as Eva Ras.
André Gil Mata returns to the Bratislava film festival after three years; back
then, he introduced his feature-length debut, Captivity (Cativeiro), which
was a similarly tender and heartfelt portrayal of a close woman. His latest
film demonstrates that Gil Mata’s filmmaking remains inspired with old-
-fashioned love of film as material and of cinema as a cherished memory.
