Stipendirana radionica borbenog filma Slika pripada onima koji s njom rade koju su u 2026. vodile Karla Crnčević i Dina Pokrajac bila je namijenjena filmskim i migrantskim radnicima_ama te izbjeglicama.

Kroz zajedničke susrete, rad u parovima i razmjenu iskustava, polaznici_e iz Zagreba, Eritreje, Nepala i Egipta razvijali_e su kratke filmove koji misle sliku kao prostor susreta, otpora i zajedničkog rada. Cilj programa bio je otvoriti kulturno i filmsko polje onima koji mu često nemaju pristup, snažnije povezati filmsku praksu s angažiranim i političkim djelovanjem te promišljati ulogu filma u suvremenim borbama na terenu. Kroz nekoliko javnih događaja prisjetili smo se i povijesne uloge filma u radničkim i antikolonijalnim borbama.

The 2026 film workshop The Image Belongs to Those Who Work with It, led by Karla Crnčević and Dina Pokrajac, was aimed at film and migrant workers and refugees.

Through shared meetings, working in pairs and exchanging experiences, participants from Zagreb, Eritrea, Nepal and Egypt developed short films that approach the image as a space of encounter, resistance and collective work. The aim of the program was to open the domain of culture and cinema to those who often do not have access to it, to connect film practice more strongly with engaged and political action, and to reflect on the role of film in contemporary struggles on the ground. Through several public events, we also recalled the historical role of cinema in workers’ and anti-colonial struggles.
