Eastern Europe: Past & Pending

'My whole life comes down to this: home, work, home, work... And to make things worse, I have no home and I have no work.' That might read as the epitaph of many dedicated doc-makers working in East Europe, but more significantly, it's the tagline for Serbian director Boris Mitic's latest documentary about Serbian aphorisms - a twisted variety of satirical humor - in the sharp, linguistically titled, Aphocalyse Now. The film was one of nine East European projects to be presented this past July at the 43rd Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the scenic, rolling hills of Karlovy Vary, a spa city situated in Bohemia, Czech Republic.
