How it feels

A short film from 1960 about sculptor Ivan Meštrović's work. It was made by a film club in Split as a spirited response to critics who said the club only socialized.

What happens

Meštrović (Egzaltacija materije), kratki film redatelja Ivana Martinca. Snimljen u produkciji Kino kluba Split. Snimio ga je isprovociran zadirkivanjima beogradskih kinoamatera koji su tvrdili da se "u splitskom kino klubu uglavnom jede i pije", što i nije bilo daleko od istine, ali povrijeđeni ponos i dišpet učinio je svoje te je 1960. godine snimio svoj prvi "splitski" film Meštrović (Egzaltacija materije) kojim je polučio uspjeh. Na međunarodnome filmskom festivalu u Beču dobio je brončanu plaketu UNICA-e, prvo međunarodnog priznanje koje je dobila ondašnja amaterska kinematografija u Jugoslaviji. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
