Bosnian, sott. it.), production that required 2 years of work, with which we immerse ourselves in a slice of life made up of three stories that have the city of Sarajevo as a common element: the protagonists speak right from the heart of a besieged city, suffering from constrictions 
imposed by the war. MARBLE ASS by Želimir Žilnik (Marble butt, YU, 1995, col., 87’, v.o. Serbian - English, sott. it.) it is instead one of the most unusual films released from Europe of the last millennium, Marble Ass is a bold and positive transgender political and social drama that advocates individual creativity against macho militarism. Set in a bumpy house on the outskirts of Belgrade, the story focuses on the prostitute Merlyn, and his roommate, workmate Sanela. Their routine falls apart when Johnny, a crazed ex lover, he is disarmed by the army and returns home full of barely suppressed anger. The film received the Berlinale Teddy Award in 1995. And at the Miela Theater you will also be able to see the great Croatian hit of the 90s on the big screen HOW THE WAR BEGUN ON MY ISLAND di Vinko Brešan (How the war started on my island, HR, 1996, col., 97’, v.o.

It was the debut film for the "king of black comedy" Vinko Brešan, written together with his father Ivo, well-known Croatian writer and screenwriter. Although it was born as a television movie, it was so successful with audiences that it became the most watched film in Croatia in the 90s.
