Arrival of a train

LFF17, In competition

ABOUT THE MOVIE

This film is a kind of reminiscence of the famous film of the Lumiere brothers. After more than a hundred and twenty years, we filmed a movie of the same title in Zagreb, trying to follow the famous brothers. We set up a camera at the railway station in Zagreb ... and recorded the train's arrival. There is, however, no train coming into the station, just voices from the PA announcing numerous delays.
