On the damp, dark and dangerous streets of futuristic Los Angeles, a lone drug dealer tries to raise enough credit for a ticket to the elusive Off World Islands, a utopian paradise where he hopes to make a fresh start, away from crime. In a race against time, the dealer is forced to take desperate measures, and his determination will be put to the test when his paths merge with a corrupt cop who has different plans.
That's the plot of the short sci-fi film Slice of Life, a multimedia project backed by a creative team led by Luka Hrgović and Dino Julius. What makes this film special is the fact that it was made without computer-generated effects, that is, in the way that cult SF films such as Blade Runner (1982), Alien (1979) and the original Star Wars trilogy were made. 1980, 1983). This is exactly the process of making this film that the exhibition in Lauba seeks to show, so the exhibition also includes hand-made scenographic props such as models, miniatures and luminous paintings by Stipan Tadić.
