And what are you celebrating on the 14th?

Love?

You should celebrate it every day, not think of it only once a year...

Can you celebrate talent, for a change? Promise, no red roses or heart-shaped boxes (and candies) needed...

Blank, the 'film incubator', or simply a place where people with interest in cinema like to gather, has a special place in my heart – but for now, why that is so shall remain a bit of a secret. What should not be a secret is that on Sunday, February the 14^th, at exactly 20:00 hours, they are holding a public screening of their latest production of short films – including the new one by Dario Juričan, whose 'Grand Prix' has gone into my little black film notebook as 'that film with the prettiest clouds ever shot!' (Dario, if you ever get to read this – it's the truth....OK, aside from maybe Tykwer's 'Heaven', or 'Days of Heaven'...). There will be real angels present, an exhibition opening an hour before, a cute little concert and – as the story usually goes – a bit of drinking and partying too. And for those who are curious, but are still not sure whether to go or not, here’s a link to my second-favourite of Blank-produced films: ‘Pekmez/Jam’ by Jura Troje. What do you say now?

Oh, and the location? Cinema Tuškanac, one of the most gorgeous cinemas in town, and my second home for a long year or two of my student days...

But, but...what about love?

Well, you never know what might happen in the dark of the matinee (sorry, I know that's not funny, but I just had to). But even if nothing out of the ordinary takes place, there are still many days left for celebrating the beauty of human emotions...Valentine’s Day is overrated anyway – any day of the week will do just as well...
