Dark Vein

From the First World War military cemeteries in Bitola (North Macedonia), we move to the banks of the Danube in Novi Sad (Serbia), and then to the mines of Kozani (Greece), seeking, through a Balkan travelogue, the dark vein that runs through these places and determines their fate. The film explores the parallel past and present of the three locations, evoking their traumas and juxtaposing them with the violent exploitation of the environment in the Balkans day. The true narrator is the landscape and its sounds poetically revealing the dark and violent anthropogenic inscriptions upon itself.
