Movie

Tom Tom

In 1981, Tomislav Gotovac carried out an unannounced action of being an artist begging for alms wearing a sign "Alms please! Thank you! Begging Artist" on the Triple Bridge in Ljubljana, which someone recorded from afar on film. The author overlaid the film with Tom's speech about how "the content of films is pure shit" and how it does not specify why some films would remain for the future. He shows this with the example of three films: Air Force (Howard Hawks), Battleship Potemkin (Sergei Eisenstein) and Triumph of the Will (Leni Riefenstahl)
