Intro: Želimir Žilnik

wexnercenter · Intro: Želimir Žilnik

For this installment of our Intro series, we offer an entry point to the work of Serbian documentary filmmaker Želimir Žilnik, the subject of a retrospective October 19–28 that will dovetail with this year’s Unorthodocs festival of creation nonfiction films. The fest includes a visit from the filmmaker for screenings October 26 and 28.

Chris Stults, the lead programmer for Unorthodocs and the Žilnik retrospective, connected virtually with Greg de Cuir, an independent curator based in Belgrade, Serbia, who organized the Žilnik series and a larger cross-country tour for the artist. They share information about Žilnik’s background and his radical, empathy-driven work, along with some of the films they’re excited to share with audiences.
