When the Phone Range (2024, dir. Iva Radivojević)
Join us for a screening of When the Phone Range, as part of the Kino Nights series with the theme Coming Together, Coming Apart.
Memories of ex-Yugoslavia meet autofiction in a critically acclaimed film about an 11-year-old girl who receives a series of mysterious phone calls that change her life. Through the intimate reconstruction of these events, When The Phone Rang investigates dislocation and the nature of remembering. In the protagonist’s mind the phone call erases her entire country, history and identity. Writer Dubravka Ugresic notes that memories appear as if from a dream, returning to haunt the present. The aim of this film is to give these memories a container, all the while inviting witnesses.
Iva Radivojević - an artist and filmmaker whose work presents itself as a collection of fragments that collage together to connect into a ruminating whole, circling around dislocation, migration, and belonging, seeking to connect to the metaphysical or the magical.
