Fatal Circle?

Reviews / News:
Nisvet Hrustić exposes in „The Fatal Circle” numerous contrasts between enchanting beauty of fauna and flora as well as actions to preserve it - and its devastation or activities which result in pollution of natural environment. He promotes the values that reach far beyond the local environment by showing Vitez in a global perspective. Characters in the movie manifest their local identity by specific actions they take here and now, in order to improve the situation in their region, but serving the universal aim of environment's protection they transcend the horison of Bosnian town. Surprisingly, „being home” in this case means „seeing what happens around...”.
Ph. D. Magdalena Tutka - Gwóźdź

Nisvet Hrustić w filmie „Błędne koło” eksponuje liczne kontrasty między obrazem urzekającego piękna fauny i flory oraz akcji podejmowanych w celu jej ochrony a obrazami zniszczeń czy działań, których skutkiem jest skażenie środowiska naturalnego. Reżyser promuje wartości wykraczające daleko poza obręb lokalnego środowiska, ukazując Vitez w perspektywie globalnej. Bohaterowie filmu manifestują bowiem swą lokalną tożsamość poprzez konkretne działania, podjęte przez nich tu i teraz w celu poprawy sytuacji we własnym regionie, ale pełniąc ową uniwersalną misję ochrony środowiska, sięgają ponad horyzont bośniackiego miasteczka. Zaskakujące, ale „być u siebie” oznacza w tym wypadku: „dostrzegać to, co dzieje się wokół…”.

Om försummelsen av naturen i Bosnien-Hercegovina. Naturen förstörs av giftdumpning och förorening medan myndigheter blundar.

Director's Statement:
While we talk about Bosnia and Herzegovina as a country with great tourism potential, it seems that we forgot about how human ignorance causes destruction of all the forests, and pollution of rivers and meadows, garbage and toxic wastes are all around us. ..
Fatal Circle serves to direct public attention to the fact that the environment in our country is being arrogantly destroyed,
and hope to wake the sleeping conscience of those who believe that the world will end with them.

-screenplay, camera, editing and directed by: Nisvet Hrustić
-main roles-children: Ibrahim Hrustić and Amra Hrustić
-producer: Nisvet Hrustić

Short synopsis:
The documentary movie PANTA REI (old Greek proverb from Heraclitus "Everything flows") is about “birth and death” of seasons
in the eyes of the children.
Ibrahim and Amra Hrustić are playing carelessly in their settlement in different seasons.
They are picking the flowers, looking their dearest trees, oing on the same path. While they are looking at coming of the spring,
summer, autumn and winter, they are admiring to them. But, when the season underwent, they feel sadness.
The honeybees and butterflies are flying in front of their eyes, the grass is being mowed, the jam is being made, and last leaflet is falling
from the bough. When the winter comes they are playing on the snow and making the snowman. But, suddenly they realize that their
favourite tree is being cut, the snowman is being dissolved; that imagination is far away from the reality and new spring is being hinted.
There is no speech in film so greater illusion would be created utilising picture and sounds.

Reviews/News:
Everything flows, both seasons and life. Growing up, children will have to face joys and sorrows for the loss of something, which is dear to them. With this short film they will realize life can not be ruled according to their own pace, however… PANTA REI (everything flows).

Reviews / News:
Comment of Korean's critic KANG Yun, for the film Tree is like a man (stamped catalogue of competition program)
2nd GFFIS IN SEOUL 2005-Korea:
What could more strongly describe a man's affection towards tree than "Tree Is Like A Man"?
The film makes it seem as though there is no other group of people that love and respect
trees more that woodcutters, who cut trees for living. Before they cut down the trees, they
give a sincere apology to the trees: "Altough I have to cut you down, I love you."....
