ABOUT THE MOVIE
As a phenomenon, MMC (Multimedia Centre) has gained a significance, beyond the city limits of Rijeka. The tumultuous and intense actionist and performance scene has been the most prominent feature of Rijeka’s new scene in the last twenty years; within the framework of the latter, alongside autonomously presented actions and performances, MMC has also organised events at the Palach Club, including FONA – Festival of New Art.This is the first ever made film about MMC.
