"Naoko nehajani spram udesa" [Seemingly Indifferent to Disaster], struck us as a fitting title for this concert – a sound intervention accompanying a series of short films from the Zagreb Film archive: Brod by Antun Babaja (1957), and Bura (1958), Pod ljetnim suncem (1960), and Ljudi s Neretve (1966) by Obrad Gluščević. “Seemingly Indifferent to Disaster” is a quote from Babaja’s Brod (the Ship), which, from today’s perspective, seems to describe us, in 2025 just as much as it describes the protagonists of these films, which are now over half a century old. The films, each in their own way, explore life by the sea, from the sea, and “against” the sea. ©Photos Tajči Čekada / Dragana Jurisic

Producer and musician Ivona Eterović, artistic name tonota, began her musical journey in the electronic rap duo Playground Hustle, after which she started working independently, expanding the genre boundaries of her musical expression. Tonota's unconventional approach to club music, along with more frequent experimentation and avoidance of club rules, results in an interesting combination of ambient and bass music, occasionally influenced by traditional music. ©Photo Leo Vidmar
