Letní kino IPN Praha: Fiume o morte!

The northern Croatian port city of Fiume experienced one of the most bizarre military campaigns in history after the First World War. It lasted sixteen months and was led by the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, who in September 1919 occupied today's Rijeka with three hundred soldiers. He established his own state here and ruled in it until the army of his native Italy rose up against him. The poet-dictator, who was inspired by Benito Mussolini, immortalized the period of his rule in ten thousand period photographs. A native of Rijeka, Igor Brezinović subversively revives them and discovers the roots of fascism in the entanglement of historical facts and exaggeration, in the gap between history and the present.
