Murina movie
Murina is a directorial feature debut by the Croatian director Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović:
The tense relationship between sixteen-year-old Julija and her authoritarian father Ante, begins to unravel when an old family friend arrives at their home on the island. While the father is preoccupied with attempts to strike the deal of his life, the charismatic guest offers Julija increasing freedom and stirs a sense of rebellion against her parents. Over the course of a weekend filled with high expectations, Julija draws her family into a dangerous whirlpool of passion and violence.
The visual identity of the film reinterprets the moray eel jaws emerging from the water, symbolising the forceful and strong behaviour of the teenage protagonist played by Gracija Filipović. The logo for the movie is a customized version of the typeface Ergon by Hrvoje Živčić, inspired by the style and heritage of the city of Dubrovnik and Neretva county — the area where Kusijanović grew up and roughly where the movie takes place. Alongside Ergon, the supporting typefaces again come from a Croatian designer — Nikola Djurek, namely Typonine Sans (incl. its condensed version). The humanistic and functional sans serif nicely contrasts the angular shapes of Ergon and balances the whole design.
