Hey ho, this nutty London storm has brought us the official photos from the premiere of my experimental modular project Trust No Thought of Mine! 🎥✨

The screening (26th November 2024 at the Garden Cinema, Covent Garden) was designed as a small affair for the lovely crew, their friends, and some people from the industry. It was such a joy to once again see the beautiful, talented faces in which I discovered the energy and skill needed for collaboration. Wishing them all success on their journeys—we’ll definitely work together again on serious projects!

Big thanks to The Garden Cinema and its amazing team (thank you, Marloes, Gabriel, Ronja, and the rest) for continuing to show indie films with so much love and care in an age of instant gratification. It’s rare to chat with someone at the box office who truly understands cinema. The atmosphere was cinematic, film-loving, and almost Lynchian!

One more shout-out to the crew: Emily Handberg (we missed you!), Violetta Bajtsi (my spirit animal), Buddleia Maslen (a true anchor), Michelle Hanks (always fun!), and Wayne Rees (just a natural talent), who all feature in these segments. Special thanks to my mum—who should’ve done documentary work back in her day (Happy 89th birthday tomorrow!)—and Shelley Hopkins, who helped assist with the camera during the very early stages of this project. 🙌💛

Photo credit for most of these pics goes to the lovely Luna Perri (IG:) for turning these images into ‘cinema paradiso’. 🎬��It was also particularly great to see the ‘Croatian contingent’, S**i the bestie extraordinaire with Igor and my long-time-cover-designer buddy Suvi, who flew one day earlier from Helsinki just to be with us. ❤️

Trust No Thought Of Mine is the latest modular video work by Zeljko Vukicevic, also known as Zhel. This omnibus pays homage to Isidore Isou’s Venom and Eternity (1951), adopting Isou’s protest style—particularly through intertitles that act as provocative slogans on creativity, challenging and...
