Gram of Heart (film screening)

Screening of the film Gram srca (Gram of Heart) by Jan Cvitkovič with Italian subtitles.

On Monday, 10 March, at 20:00, Kinomax Gorizia will host a screening of the documentary Gram srca (Gram of Heart) by Jan Cvitkovič.

On the streets of Ljubljana, the director enters the world of addicts, talks to them and listens to their stories. The film does not seek sensationalism, but rather presents the lives of those facing addiction in a genuine and honest way. Through a long process of filming, the filmmakers established trust with the protagonists, who shared their experiences and difficult life stories.

Gram of Heart is not just a documentary about addiction, but a film about the lack of warmth and security in childhood, a void that individuals try to fill, but can never be completely filled. Cvitkovič and director of photography Aleksander Petric explored the streets of Ljubljana without a pre-scripted script, filming conversations and searching for beauty in a world where there seems to be none. The film was made in collaboration with producer Boštjan Brezovnik, with editing by Miloš Kalusek and sound by Boštjan Kačičnik.
