KDYBY SE HOLUBI PROMĔNILI VA ZLATO (IF PIGEONS TURNED TO GOLD)

“Have you ever mourned someone who isn’t dead yet?” Pepa Lubojacki filmed her brother and her relationship with him over the course of five years. David, like two of their cousins, is a severe alcoholic and homeless. How can one depict a life like this, the artist wonders. She succeeds by resorting to a unique combination of handheld camerawork, text, a talking pigeon and old photos of the protagonists with AI-animated voices. Her film is brutally honest and as harsh as it is gentle. Despite the illness, it always centres on the human being.
