Danko Volarić
The distinguishing feature of this experienced TV director and screenwriter is his satirical approach to everyday life, as can be seen in his awarded documentaries ''Life in Fresh Air'' and ''Mimara Revisited''.
Mimara Revisited
A brilliant satire in which the director confronts the Mimara Museum of today and the nation's great expectations of the collection that was supposed to become the "Louvre of Zagreb".
The building of the old Austro-Hungarian Gymnasium School was overnight turned into a museum for the collection of controversial art collector Ante Topić Mimara. The fact that it was dubbed the Louvre of Zagreb clearly indicates the great expectations from it. Today, the Louvre of Zagreb is empty, visitors are scarce. However, various commercial events – fashion shows, art auctions, book presentations, county-club gatherings – record good turnouts. The classical architecture of the Austro-Hungarian school serves as an ideal setting for kitsch events of all sorts.
