Premiere Of "Audition Material" And "There's A Man In The Habit Of Hitting Me On The Head With An Umbrella"

Two Macedonian shorts will premierly be screened tomorrow, 10 May, at 6 p.m. in Cinema Millennium.

In Gjorce Stavreski’s newest short “Audition Material” a landlady asks her tenant a seemingly innocent favor – to drop off her young female friend and  her  little  daughter  somewhere  in  the city. The tenant is unwillingly  involved  in  a dubious act as he realizes  that  the  young woman is leaving her daughter in an orphanage.

Vardan  Tozija’s  “There's a  Man  in the Habit of  Hitting  me  on  the Head  with  an Umbrella”  revolves  around  Peter, an  outcast  and a loser. One day  a  small man  comes from nowhere and starts hitting Peter's head  with  an  umbrella. Suddenly, strange  changes start in Peter's life.
