Zagreb Fair, the City Center That Was Not Meant to Be

The first episode entitled "Zagreb Fair, the City Center That Was Not Meant to Be" explores the Zagreb Fair, an important part of the urban identity of Zagreb and the focal point for presentation of technological advancements and contemporary modes of life, which would only party integrate into the everyday life of the citizens of Zagreb, Croatia and Yugoslavia. The building of the Fair was the first big construction on the south bank of Sava river, a visionary project of creating the big new center for New Zagreb. The vision was never fully realized, and Zagreb Fair, a protected cultural property – with its 560.000 square meters, 40 pavilions, 12 kilometers of asphalt roads and its own water pump station – is barely holding on: not yet an abandoned industrial area but not adequately used either.

Socialism Meets Capitalism

The episode deals with the Haludovo hotel resort on the island of Krk. Today, it is an almost mythical place, shrouded in a thousand stories. We are introduced to its turbulent history, a time when Haludovo was a gambling mecca - a meeting point of world dictators and politicians, American weekend gamblers, Yugoslav celebrities, and ordinary citizens. Today, it is merely a nostalgic reminder of a bygone time when hedonism and egalitarianism briefly intersected. From its glory days to privatization and final decline, the entire story takes place in the short span of 40 years.
