A road film about the passage of time and memory and a moving meditation on local culture and the inhabitants of rural Vojvodina. In the 1970s, young Yugoslav filmmaker Karpo Godina travels with an 8mm camera across remote Vojvodina countryside, making a film of which only fragments survive. Retracing Godina’s journey 40 years later, young director Matjaž Ivanišin’s Karpotrotter is a dreamlike mix of preserved film fragments, Ivanišin’s landscape shots and conversations with villagers who still remember Godina’s visit. Screened at IndieLisboa, Tribeca Film Festival and Rotterdam; Best Documentary at ZFF 2014.
