Synopsis
Film world is a complex and interesting intersection of different craftsmanship and people behind all this different professions. The idea for the film Scenographer was to explore the life and soul of a famous Slovenian production designer Dusan Milavec, who has a rich career of many decades in professional film and television industry. He was recently awarded Metod Badjura Lifetime Achievement Award at Slovenian Film Festival and this event was a trigger point for the idea to create this poetical short documentary to catch the essence of Dušan’s life and creation. Through the absence of colors in the film we can focus on the structures, compositions, textures and contrasts which allows us to identify ourselves with the important film profession of a Production Designer, in the shoes of Dušan Milavec and many others which are creating the films we watch and imaginary lands coming alive in front of our eyes.
