After one Serbian tabloid attacked the production for making the film with a potential queer subject, the two young actors started exploring the topic of representation of LGBTIQ characters through the history of Yugoslav and later Serbian cinema, but also the social circumstances that have resulted in different treatments of these characters. What did the presence of queers in cinema actually mean through the decades?
Sinopsis
Nakon što je jedan srpski tabloid napao produkciju zbog pravljenja filma sa potencijalno queer subjektom, dvoje mladih glumaca počelo je da istražuje temu reprezentacije LGBTIQ likova kroz istoriju jugoslovenske, a kasnije i srpske kinematografije, ali i društvene okolnosti koje su dovele do različitih tretmana ovih likova. Šta je zapravo značilo prisustvo queer osoba u kinematografiji kroz decenije?

Just before their father is conscripted during the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia, sisters Sonja (17) and Dragana (15) begin a Hi8 video diary, overwriting older recordings that periodically appear between the newly shot scenes. Days go by as they film the peaceful nature around them, the trembling sky at night during air raids and their teasing of their seven-year-old sister, Tijana. Things change when a mysterious boy and his shy, younger sister arrive from Belgrade and move into the neighbor's house. Soon, new friendships, first kisses and first disappointments take over the fear of bombs.
Note: 78 Days will be screened together with short film Duck Roast, followed by an online conversation with the film directors.Sinopsis
Neposredno pre nego što im otac bude regrutovan tokom NATO bombardovanja Srbije 1999. godine, sestre Sonja (17) i Dragana (15) počinju da vode video dnevnik na Hi8, prepisujući starije snimke koji se periodično pojavljuju između novosnimljenih scena. Dani prolaze dok snimaju mirnu prirodu oko sebe, drhtavo nebo noću tokom vazdušnih napada i zadirkivanje svoje sedmogodišnje sestre Tijane. Stvari se menjaju kada misteriozni dečak i njegova stidljiva, mlađa sestra stignu iz Beograda i usele se u komšijinu kuću. Ubrzo, nova prijateljstva, prvi poljupci i prva razočaranja preuzimaju strah od bombi.
Napomena: 78 Days biće prikazan zajedno sa kratkim filmom Pečena patka, nakon čega će uslediti onlajn razgovor sa redateljkama filmova.
