Beldocs International Documentary Film Festival in Belgrade will host the premiere screening of Vlada Petrić’s posthumous video essay, Emily Dickinson: Three B’s, on 24 May 2024. Petrić was fascinated by the life and poetic imagination of Emily Dickinson, especially with regards to her relationship towards religion. During the last decade of his life, he and his wife Dara Čalenić collaborated on this personal pilgrimage through Dickinson’s writings.
Petrić finished the final edit of this video essay just a few months before his death in November 2019. Kinopravda Institute has worked with particular dedication in the years following to add the final touches in post-production, completing this process in 2023. We are excited to present to the world this final work by the man whose personality and career has been an inspiration to us and whose studies in cinematography serve as a beacon for our team. Kinopravda Institute is distributing Emily Dickinson: Three B’s, along with earlier works of film and video by Vlada Petric. View the distribution catalog at the site link here.
