Info
BURN is a brutal story of emigrants from Yugoslavia,
who come to New York to forget the horrors of one war and get
caught up in a nightmare of another.
BURN is a unique feature film, made for nothing, with a digital
consumer camcorder and free 35mm short ends run through a fifty
year old Arriflex, with 16mm and S8mm excerpts. The video and
film have been matched and technically manipulated in order to
achieve a unique look. The style is close to a documentary with
hand-held cameras and dynamic editing. Although no-budget, it
has a cast of over fifty speaking roles and twenty-five locations.
BURN has premiered in February 2001 at the international film
and video festival Mikrokino Fest in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, as
festival centerpiece and special presentation. The film opened
in Yugoslav theaters on March 24. The film also screened at the
Metro/Angelika Film Film Festival at Anthology Film Archives and
on the Metro Channel in New York, at The Telluride Indiefest Film
Festival and at The International Film and Video festival in the
Hague, Netherlands.
