Andri 1924-44

Andrina Mračnikar

Austria, 2002, 20 Min

In the family he is a myth: Andri, Carinthian, Slovenian farm boy, drafted into the Wehrmacht, deserted from fear, hidden by his parents, executed as a partisan at the age of 20. A very personal search for traces in gently shimmering pictures.

Andrina Mračnikar

In her award-winning film, director Andrina Mračnikar does not attempt to "truthfully" reconstruct a historical event. Rather, she weaves a fine web of disparate fragments: the native-language story of the grandmother, yellowed photos and their stories, leaps of thought, shreds of memory. The images of authentic places seem unreal, when filmed with a hand-held camera from oblique angles and subjective perspectives. As unreal and fragmentary as the past inscribes itself in memory – a puzzle that never joins together to form a whole. GL
