A snappy animated diversion turns simple graphic symbols into colorful arrows of resistance. In the field of the rudimentary predecessor of the Internet, the author uses the tried and tested tactic of détournement in order to overcome the limitations of narrowly defined frameworks and transform the screen into a space of new meanings and the scene of a battle against the banalization of the mind. A battle that may have already been lost, but that does not mean that we can afford to lose the sharpness of the senses and the sharp sense of humor that the author demonstrates by repurposing outdated media technology in order to lucidly mock her and our reconciliation with the given state of affairs.

Sometimes it is necessary to go to the other side of the world to open the topic of intimacy. Sometimes it is necessary not to shoot a single frame to make a film. Sometimes there is an attempt to create closeness by increasing the distance and sometimes the impossibility to do so tries to camouflage itself with an adventure story. Sometimes I think I speak Chinese. In this travel essay written at the height of the epidemic and just after the earthquake, I asked myself a question and intended to find an answer. Now I realize that I don’t know the answer or that it may not exist at all. Now I understand, maybe we are more similar than I think.

Unencumbered by a professional education and open to new ideas, Vladimir Petek (b. 1940) was energetically exploring in the 1960s what film could do as a medium if used in nonstandard ways. In his early works, the obsession with the medium was connected to his youthful delight with female beauty, and Petek created some of the most striking portrait films in Croatian cinema, which might be seen as the more filmically inventive cousins of the Screen Tests that Andy Warhol started doing in 1964 to explore film’s seemingly innate ability to turn almost anyone into a "star." Encounter offers a portrait of a woman (Ksenija Filipović, his then-girlfriend) whose face becomes mysterious, desirable, and endlessly captivating on film, all the more so because of Petek’s various interventions in the film stock.
