Jozko RutarBulgarian cinephiles know well the name of Jozko Rutar, the producer of Silent Sonata (A.K.A. Circus Fantasticus) from another cult Slovenian film, Jan Cvitkovic’ Gravehopping (2005).

Director Janez Burger’s Silent Sonata is
unique piece of cinema art, a kaleidoscope of reminiscent images,
reminding of Fellini’s aesthetic, of Tarkovski to a certain degree and
even to Hodorovski. It is a film essay on war and survival; a film with
no dialogue, but not a silent movie – it is at times a painfully
screaming story out of time and in a place which resembles Novi Sad’s
composer Boris Kovac’ 'Ballads At The End Of Time' or 'World After
History'…

And our conversation with Jozko Rutar starts with the
presentation of this co-production on the map of European co-productions
today.
