Summary/Abstract: Croatian film of the 1960s is colored by the poetics of auteurial cinema which was already emerging in the previous decade, but dominated in the 1960s, both in the production of cinema (both fiction films and animation), but also in the reception of these films with independent and ambitious critics. The text discusses the production modes of the era in Croatia and Yugoslavia, as well as several aspects of the poetics of cinematic modernism (its history and the importance of innovation), with Branko Ivanda’s feature debut Gravity (Gravitacija), in which all sorts of stylistic experiments blend well with traditional motifs and cinematic procedures, anticipating Ivanda’s auteuristic oevure.
