PODRŠKA


Dobrodošli na 26. Sarajevo Film Festival / Welcome to the 26th Sarajevo Film Festival Pred nama je najparadoksalnije izdanje Sarajevo Film Festivala u njegovoj historiji – istovremeno sasvim neočekivano i nepredvidivo, a opet potpuno očekivano, čak i neizbježno.

E Ahead of us is surely the oddest edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival in its history – one that is at once unexpected and unpredictable, and yet expected, even inevitable.

Neočekivano zbog pandemije koronavirusa i njezinih efekata, koji su protresli naše živote na način nezamisliv još početkom 2020. godine. Čak i 1995, u ratu, kada smo organizovali prvi Sarajevo Film Festival, bilo je to u uslovima koji nam, nakon godina okrutne opsade, nisu bili nepoznanica. Štaviše, tada smo znali da s onu stranu rata postoji svijet, stabilan i sređen, na koji možemo računati. Ali pandemija korone potpuno je promijenila paradigmu: ne samo da smo se našli na potpuno nepoznatom terenu, nego normalnost i stabilnost ne postoji ni u globalnim okvirima.

It is unexpected because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has upended our lives in ways we could not have imagined at the start of this year. In 1995, during the war, when we organised the first edition of the festival, we did so under conditions that had become familiar to us after years of living under a cruel military siege. We knew that at the other end of war, an orderly, secure world was reliably waiting for us. The current pandemic, however, has caused a paradigm shift: we are no longer the only ones forcibly pushed into an unfamiliar reality; the whole world has been robbed of every sense of normalcy and stability.

Istovremeno, Sarajevo Film Festival ostaje i očekivana činjenica. Zdravstvena situacija u Sarajevu i Bosni i Hercegovini nije eskalirala u mjeri da sasvim blokira društveni život, nego je zahtijevala razvoj novih taktika i strategija. Osim toga, još jednom se pokazalo da je kultura, upravo u trenucima krize, najranjivija kada je riječ o njezinoj proizvodnji i najznačajnija kada je u pitanju održavanje temeljnih društvenih vrijednosti. I opet, to ne vrijedi samo lokalno: upravo u trenucima dok se presijecaju veze i podižu barijere između ljudi i zemalja, kultura mora ostati jedna od ključnih poveznica u globalnim okvirima. Misija Sarajevo Film Festivala zato postaje još izraženija u uslovima krize. Kada smo, uz konsultacije s epidemiolozima, procijenili da se Festival može održati uz neophodne mjere zaštite, procijenili smo da će njegov kontinuitet biti od koristi za Sarajevo, Bosnu i Hercegovinu, i regionalnu filmsku industriju. Korona je pogodila regiju upravo u trenutku konsolidacije njezine filmske i TV proizvodnje, te kada je kreativni sektor u Gradu i Kantonu Sarajevo trebao dobiti dodatni, ključni poticaj za svoj razvoj. Virus je neizbježno usporio i oslabio tu podršku, ali – nadajmo se – samo nakratko. Sarajevo Film Festival je tu i da podsjeti koliko se od ulaganja u kreativni sektor ne bi trebalo odustati jer on jača i ostale segmente ekonomije grada Sarajeva, Bosne i Hercegovine, te šire regije. Krizu smo, uostalom, iskoristili i da inoviramo pojedine segmente Festivala: najviše se to vidi u uvođenju online sadržaja (projekcija, masterclassova, razgovora s filmskim autorima, i sl.). Iako je ovaj transfer određenih festivalskih programa na digitalne platforme iznuđen epidemijom, nema sumnje da će neki pozitivni efekti „digitalnog festivala“ ostati s nama i nakon nje, kao dobra praksa koju treba usvojiti. I pored toga, Sarajevo Film Festival donosi on-site dešavanja koja će zaintrigirati i razveseliti sarajevsku publiku. I ove godine pridružit će nam se dragi prijatelji i gosti iz cijelog svijeta, poput Michela Franca, kome je posvećen ovogodišnji program Tribute to i kome će biti dodijeljeno Počasno Srce Sarajeva. Konačno – a za jedan festival i najvažnije – tu je jedinstveno zadovoljstvo gledanja filma na velikom platnu. I to dobrih filmova, u svim našim programima. Apsolutni prioritet, naravno, ostaje zdravlje. U njegovoj zaštiti moramo učestvovati svi – što našu publiku ove godine, više nego ikad ranije, čini istinskim suorganizatorom festivala. Samo zajedničkim odgovornim ponašanjem, u skladu s propisanim mjerama sigurnosti, možemo se prepustiti magiji filma i ove godine!

At the same time, the Sarajevo Film Festival remains a given. The coronavirus outbreak in Sarajevo and in Bosnia and Herzegovina has not escalated to such an extent that it has required bringing life to a halt. Instead, we have had to develop a new strategy and tactics. It has been proven once again that, in terms of production, the culture sector suffers the most in moments of crisis, while at the same time it is instrumental in the preservation of basic social values. Again, this is no longer just a local truth: when social ties are being severed and barriers erected between countries and people, culture must remain one of the key threads that binds the world together. The mission of the Sarajevo Film Festival has become all the more important in this time of crisis. After we established, in consultation with epidemiologists, that the festival can be safely held, provided we comply with social-distancing and other protective rules, we concluded that ensuring the event’s continuity would benefit our city, our nation and the regional film industry. The pandemic slammed our region at a moment when our film and television industry was on the cusp of consolidation and when the culture sector in Sarajevo was about to receive increased financial support. The virus outbreak inevitably cut down and slowed down that aid, but we hope this will be a temporary hurdle. The Sarajevo Film Festival also serves as a reminder that investment in the creative sector should not be discontinued, because the creative sector strengthens other sectors of economy in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the wider region. We used this period of crisis to modify certain aspects of the Festival, most notably by moving some of its content online (film screenings, master classes, question-and-answer sessions, etc.) While the coronavirus has forced us to make this transition, I have no doubt we will continue with some of the good practices birthed by the “digital festival” once the pandemic is over. In spite of everything, the Sarajevo Film Festival will include some on-site events to intrigue and thrill Sarajevo audiences. Once again this year, we will be joined by our dear friends from around the world. Among them are celebrated Mexican filmmaker Michel Franco, who will be honoured in our Tribute to programme and presented with the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo. Finally, we will fulfil the most important mission of every film festival by providing filmgoers with the precious experience of watching films – good films – on a big screen. Of course, the protection of public health remains our absolute priority. It requires collective action, making our audiences, more than ever before, true co-organisers of the Festival. Only by behaving responsibly and complying with all the safety rules we can afford to immerse ourselves in the magic of film.

Krajem devedesetih godina prošlog vijeka pažnju preusmjerava na dokumentarni film kao žanr, osobeni jezik i način oblikovanja i mijenjanja stvarnosti, te organizuje dokumentarističke radionice s filmskim autorima poput Johana van der Keukena, Fredericka Wisemana i Errola Morrisa. Chatrian je 2003. počeo raditi za Locarno Film Festival, gdje je vršio odabir filmova za retrospektivu japanskog animiranog filma kao i retrospektive filmova Ernsta Lubitscha, Vincentea Minnellija i Otta Premingera.

E Carlo Chatrian was born in 1971 in Turin. He studied literature and philosophy, and holds a degree in film studies, for which he wrote a thesis on the films of Jacques Rivette. He began attending film festivals as a natural counterpoint to his studies, and soon after began programming for the Alba Film Festival, followed by the Festival dei Popoli and Visions du Réel. At the end of the 1990s, he focussed on documentary as a genre, language and a way to compose and shape reality, and conducted workshops with filmmakers such as Johan van der Keuken, Frederick Wiseman and Errol Morris. In 2003, Chatrian began working for the Locarno Festival, where he curated retrospectives on Japanese animation and the work of Ernst Lubitsch, Vincente Minnelli and Otto Preminger. Between 2013 and 2018, Chatrian was Artistic Director of Locarno, where he enjoyed programming popular films for the 8,000 viewers in the Piazza Grande as well as auteur films for an even more cinephilic audience.

Takmičarski program – igrani film 2020 Ovogodišnji Takmičarski program nastao je u izuzetnim okolnostima – globalne krize prouzrokovane pandemijom COVID-19. Neizvjesnost nikada nije bila veća kada su u pitanju budući filmovi. S druge strane, producenti i autori završenih filmova nemaju prostora da ih promoviraju na pravi način, ali, bez obzira na sve, jedno je sigurno: film je esencijalan za savremenog čovjeka, a vrijeme provedeno u samoizolaciji dodatno je to potvrdilo.

Elma Tataragić

Sarajevo Film Festival nastao je upravo iz ovog saznanja 1995. godine pred kraj četverogodišnje opsade i, upravo zbog toga smo odlučili održati ovogodišnji Festival, čak i u ovim nemogućim i izuzetno teškim uslovima. Igrana konkurencija ove godine sastoji se od 8 naslova. Među njima je čak 6 debitantskih filmova, a 3 filma režirale su rediteljice. Veliko iznenađenje ovogodišnjeg programa – a i regije – su filmovi s Kosova, pa su se ove godine u našoj konkurenciji našla čak dva. EGZIL, drugi igrani film Visara Morine, reditelja koji na slojevit i napet način pruža jedan nov pogled na emigrante, ne praveći od njih žrtve ni paćenike, te tematizira pitanje drugog sa tačke gledišta kosovskog emigranta u Njemačkoj. Film je premijerno prikazan na dva značajna filmska festivala ove godine – Sundanceu i Berlinu. Drugi kosovski film je GALAKSIJA ANDROMEDA rediteljice More Raçe kojoj je ovo prvi dugometražni igrani film. Raça govori o sličnom problemu, ali iz druge sredine i prati sredovječnog čovjeka, primoranog da sreću potraži van svoje domovine, u zemlji Evropske unije, nadajući se da će to biti kraj svim njegovim, uglavnom, egzistencijalnim problemima. I Grčka je ove godine prisutna u programu sa dva filma, oba debitantska. Film KOPAČ reditelja

28 26. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – IGRANI FILM

Georgisa Grigorakisa fokus vraća na porodicu, a u filmu pratimo ponovni susret otuđenog oca i napuštenog sina usljed pritiska prodaje zemlje radi čiste eksploatacije. Film je izuzetno precizan u oslikavanju dva suprotstavljena lika i upečatljivo prati njihove emotivne lomove do preobrazbe koja im je obojici potrebna. KOPAČ je premijerno prikazan u programu Panorama na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. Drugi grčki film SVI TI LIJEPI MALI KONJI Michalisa Constantinosa također je porodična priča, ali priča o porodici koja mora da prihvati svoj materijalni krah i i prestane da živi tuđim životima. Film UNUTRAŠNJE OSTRVO reditelja Ru Hasanova dolazi iz Azerbejdžana i zapravo je prvi dugometražni igrani film iz ove zemlje koji se takmiči za Nagradu Srce Sarajeva. Ovaj projekat predstavljen je na CineLink Industry Days u sklopu programa Work in Progress, a donosi priču koja se itekako oslanja na glavnog junaka sa kojeg jednostavno ne možemo da odvojimo pogled. Iz Turske ove godine dolazi debitantski film MAUZER Fatiha Özcana koji donosi jednu tipičnu i arhetipsku priču o dva brata koja se do krvi posvađaju zbog nasljedstva. Fokus filma je na kompleksnim porodičnim odnosima zbog kojih je ova porodica osuđena na tragediju. Iz Rumunije ćemo vidjeti film rediteljice Ruxandre Ghitescu OTTO BARBARIN koji u potresnoj priči o odrastanju, identitetu i pripadanju baca svjetlo na današnje adolescente. Glavni junak Otto tipični je tinejdžer koji pokušava da se uhvati u koštac sa samoubistvom svoje prijateljice. Ovaj projekat također je predstavljen u sklopu programa Work in Progress.

To je Andrea Štaka sa svojim trećim igranim filmom MARE koji donosi pogled na ženu i njenu poziciju u patrijarhalnom društvu koje počiva na stereotipima. Film MARE hrvatsko-švicarske koprodukcije, svoju je svjetsku premijeru imao u programu Panorama Međunarodnog filmskog festival u Berlinu, a glavnu ulogu tumači dvostruka dobitnica Srca Sarajeva Marija Škaričić. Sa ovako raznovrsnom selekcijom, te izuzetno profiliranim i senzibilnim autorima, sigurni smo da će i iduća godina biti uzbudljiva za regionalni film, bez obzira na krizu u kojoj se nalazi. E This year, we closed the selection for the feature film competition programme amid the global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Uncertainty about the future of film production has never been greater, while at the same time producers and auteurs of already completed films have no chance to promote them properly. However, one thing is certain: film is an essential need of contemporary humanity, as has been confirmed by our time spent in selfisolation.

It is because of a similar realisation that the Sarajevo Film Festival was launched in 1995, in the closing days of the nearly four-year-long Siege of Sarajevo, and also why we decided to hold the festival this year despite the nearly impossibly difficult circumstances. The official feature film competition this year includes eight titles, among them six debut films and three directed by women. A big surprise of this edition of the programme, but also in our region in general, are the films

from Kosovo, including two presented in our programme this year. One of them is Visar Morina’s second feature, EXILE, which focuses on the perception of “the Other” by a Kosovar immigrant in Germany. In a multi-layered and suspenseful manner, Morina offers a new take on immigrants, not portraying them as victims. His approach to the immigrant experience is fresh and ironic. The film had its premiere earlier this year at two important festivals: Sundance and the Berlinale. The second Kosovar film is Mora Raça’s debut feature, ANDROMEDA GALAXY. It also focuses on the experience of immigration, but from a different angle, as it tells the story of a middle-aged man forced to search for happiness outside his homeland, in an EU country, where he hopes all of his problems, most of them existential in nature, will disappear.

previously took part as a work-in-progress at CineLink Industry Days.

Greece is also represented in the programme by two films, both debut features. Georgis Grigorakis presents DIGGER, a story of an estranged father’s reunion with his son at the time when the father is under pressure to sell his land to an industrial monster. The film offers a precise and poignant portrait of two very different men and the emotional breakdown they both need. It had its premiere in February in the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival. The second Greek film is ALL THE PRETTY LITTLE HORSES by Michalis Constantinos, another domestic drama, this time about a family that must accept their financial ruin and stop pretending they can live someone else’s life.

A long-time friend of the Sarajevo Film Festival, Andrea Štaka, returns this year with her third feature, MARE, an intimate portrait of a woman in a patriarchal society built on stereotypes. The Swiss-Croatian co-production, featuring the double winner of the Heart of Sarajevo Award, Marija Škaričić, had its world premiere in the Panorama section of the Berlinale.

Ru Hasan’s THE ISLAND WITHIN is the first full-length feature from Azerbaijan that will compete for the Heart of Sarajevo Award. The film, driven by its captivating main character,

From Turkey we welcome Fatih Özcan’s debut feature, MAVZER, an archetypal tale of two brothers locked in a fight over their inheritance. Complex family relations that doom them to tragedy are in the focus of the film. Another film that previously participated in CineLink Industry Days is Ruxandra Ghitescu’s OTTO THE BARBARIAN, which sheds lights on today’s teenagers through a moving story about growing up and the sense of identity and belonging. The main protagonist of the film is a typical teenager struggling to come to terms with his girlfriend’s suicide. The film also took part in the Work in Progress programme of CineLink Industry Days

The variety of this year’s selection and the fact that it features films by well-established auteurs gives us hope that, the ongoing crisis notwithstanding, next year will be another exciting year for regional film production. Elma Tataragić Selektorica / Selector

Daxildəki Ada / Unutrašnje ostrvo / The Island Within Azerbejdžanac Seymour Tahirbekov međunarodni je šahovski majstor. Nakon pobjede na kvalifikacionom turniru, Seymour osvaja pravo da izazove aktuelnog svjetskog šampiona u šahu Skrotena Gudmunsona. Nekoliko sedmica uoči meča za titulu svjetskog prvaka, Seymour, usljed velikog pritiska da na bilo koji način izvojuje pobjedu, upada u teško psihičko i emotivno stanje. Vijest o smrti njegovog djeda kap je koja prelijeva čašu, i Seymour se daje u bijeg. Predviđajući da bi njegovo odsustvo moglo izazvati međunarodni skandal, njegov otac Khanlar se obraća Državnoj službi bezbjednosti za pomoć u njegovom pronalasku. U međuvremenu, Seymour odlazi na ostrvo Kür Dili o kojem mu je nekoć pričao djed. Na ostrvu, koje prvenstveno nastanjuju divlji konji i krave, susreće jedinog ljudskog stanovnika – jednog starca. Seymour i starac na početku su sumnjičavi i hladni jedan prema drugom, ali s vremenom se odnos dvojice usamljenika otopljava i oni se neočekivano zbližavaju. Seymour preuzima kontrolu nad svojim životom, a vrijeme curi. Ru Hasanov rođen je 1987. u Bakuu, a pozorište i film studirao je na koledžu Bates, SAD.

E Seymour Tahirbekov is an international chess grandmaster from Azerbaijan. Having won the Candidates Tournament, Seymour earns the right to challenge the defending world champion Skroten Gudmonson in the World Chess Championship match. With a few weeks left before the championship match, Seymour’s psychological and emotional state deteriorates under escalating abuse and pressure to succeed by any means. News of his grandfather’s death is the straw that breaks the camel’s back, and Seymour runs away. Anticipating an international scandal, his father Khanlar turns to the National Security Department for help in finding his son. In the meantime, Seymour arrives on an island of Kür Dili that his grandfather had once told him about. On the island, inhabited mostly by feral horses and cows, he encounters its only human resident – an old man. Distant and skeptical of each other at first, the two loners gradually warm up to each other forming an unlikely bonding. Seymour takes control of his freedom, however time keeps running out.

Exil / Egzil / Exile Xhafer, četrdesetpetogodišnji inžinjer farmacije s Kosova koji živi i radi u Njemačkoj, iznenada počinje osjećati da ga na poslu diskriminiraju i ponižavaju zbog njegovog etničkog porijekla. Kada na kapiji kuće pronađe obješenog mrtvog pacova, odmah posumnja da iza toga stoje njegove radne kolege rasisti. Svaki događaj, svaku izgovorenu riječ i svaku gestu tumači kao potvrdu svoje sumnje, te se iz dana u dan osjeća sve nesigurnije. Njegova supruga, Njemica Nora, umorna je od njegovog stalnog pozivanja na vlastito etničko porijeklo. Da li je moguće da je Xhafer svojim radnim kolegama naprosto nesimpatičan? Ili se iza njihovog neprijateljstva kriju i neki drugi razlozi? Da li Xhafer samo umišlja ili je zaista u pravu? Xhafer s vremenom ostaje bez posla, žene i porodice i hoda po ivici između života dobro prilagođenog, porodičnog pripadnika srednje klase i stranca u državi u kojoj je izabrao da živi. Visar Morina rođen je 1979. na Kosovu. Studirao je na Akademiji za medijske umjetnosti u Kölnu. Sa svojim izuzetno uspješnim debitantskim filmom BABAI osvojio je brojne nagrade, uključujući nagradu za najboljeg reditelja i oznaku Evropski film na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu Karlovy Vary te nagradu za najbolji scenarij na Filmskom festivalu u Münchenu. EGZIL je njegov drugi dugometražni igrani film, a zasnovan je na scenariju koji je osvojio njemačku Državnu nagradu Zlatna Lola za najbolji nesnimljeni scenarij. E Xhafer, a 45-year-old, Kosovo-born pharmaceutical engineer living in Germany, suddenly feels discriminated against and bullied at work because of his ethnic background. When he finds a dead rat hanging on the gate in front of his home, it is immediately clear to him that his racist colleagues could be behind it. Every occurrence, every word, every gesture is taken as evidence. Xhafer’s uneasiness grows every day. His German wife Nora is tired of him playing the race card all the time. Do his colleagues simply dislike him? Or is there more to their hostility? Is this all in his mind or is it the actual reality? As Xhafer loses his job, his wife and his family, he walks a delicate tightrope between his life as an integrated, middle-class family man, and foreigner in his adopted country.

Visar Morina was born in 1979 in Kosovo. He studied at the Cologne Academy of Media Arts. His much- acclaimed debut BABAI received numerous awards, such as Best Director and European Cinema Label at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and Best Script at Filmfest München. EXIL is his second feature-length film. Its script was honored with the German Federal Award Lola in Gold for an unfilmed screenplay.

Mavzer / Mauzer Veysi živi u planinskom selu u centralnoj Anadoliji. Početkom zime zatvara svoje stado ovaca u tor. Jednog jutra, nakon što Veysi sa sinom Mustafom ode do tora, otkriva da je čopor vukova napao ovce i gotovo sve ih pobio. Ne ljuti se na vukove jer zna da su djelovali tačno u skladu sa svojom prirodom. Sve što Veysi želi jeste bolje oružje kako bi zaštitio sebe i svoju porodicu – Mauzer, “kraljicu pušaka”, kako je zovu u Anadoliji. Pokušava je nabaviti od lokalnog prodavača oružja, inače bliskog očevog prijatelja, koji mu obećava pokloniti Mauzer ukoliko dokaže da je dobar lovac. Sretan zbog tog obećanja, Veysi kreće u potjeru za vukom koji je napao njegovo stado, te u konačnici uspijeva ubiti vučicu i njenog vučića. Ponosan na svoj uspjeh, kreće nazad u selo, ali na povratku, dok prolazi kraj seoskog groblja, nailazi na sahranu svog oca. Potom se sukobljava s bratom oko nasljedstva.

Afterwards, he finds himself in a fight with his brother about their inheritance. The wolf who lost his mate and pup also becomes involves in this war as a third party.

Uhvaćen je u mrežu koju su ispleli njegovi roditelji, njegov nemušti deda i Laurina majka. Laura je i dalje dio njegovog života zahvaljujući videosnimcima koje Otto stalno iznova montira pokušavajući shvatiti situaciju u kojoj se našao. Tokom tog procesa Otto mora prihvatiti djelimičnu odgovornost za ono što se dogodilo. Ruxandra Ghițescu rumunska je vizuelna umjetnica i filmska autorica.

Izolacija i intimnost / Isolation and Intimacy Kriza uzrokovana pandemijom COVID-19 naučila nas je da detaljnije zaronimo unutar vrijednosti naših svakodnevnih života, značajki ljudske komunikacije i ponašanja. Gledano iz te perspektive, uočavamo da se u velikom broju filmova protagonisti povlače u izolaciju da bi se sakrili ili zaštitili od neke traume i zlostavljača.

Rada Šešić

Film kojim otvaramo ovogodišnji program – HOLLY FATHER – intimna je priča rumunskog, izrazito talentiranog autora Andreia Dăscălescua o pokušaju da uspostavi vezu sa svojim ocem, koji je još davno napustio porodični život i zamijenio ga izolacijom u manastiru. Uz sjajan smisao za humor, lucidna filmska rješenja i mnogo šarma, reditelj suptilno progovara o osobnoj drami, o nedostatku oca, i to u trenutku dok se i sam priprema za očinstvo. Film je razvijan na našem Docu Rough Cut Boutiqueu, kao i film JEDNA OD NAS hrvatskog reditelja Đure Gavrana. I ovdje je autor sudionik filma a priču hrabro smješta isključivo u zatvoren prostor, u restoran gdje se slavi godišnjica mature. Izoštrenim okom vrsnog dokumentariste, Gavran prati kako misteriozna priča o silovanju školske kolegice polako isplivava na površinu. Minuciozno konstruiran i prilično tih, film budi u nama osjećaj jeze, poput još jednog dokumentarca o silovanju, i to opet autorice koja je i sama protagonista – ZACIJELI ME – mlade srbijanske glumice Danijele Štajnfeld. Ispovijedan i direktan, film govori o izolaciji autorice nakon što ju je silovao poznati i u struci priznati kolega. Rediteljica okreće kameru ka sebi, ali i drugim žrtvama silovanja, zlostavljanih obično od kolega na pozicijama moćnijim od njihovih. U određenom smislu, suočavanje sa zlostavljanjem prepoznatljiv je atribut ovogodišnjeg programa. Jedan od dva snažna mađarska filma – POVRATAK U EPIPO – potresna je priča rediteljice Judit Olah u kojoj se autorica osvrće na vlastito traumatično iskustvo u dječijem ljetnom kampu, gdje je karizmatični odgajatelj – osim nje – zlostavljao još nekoliko njenih vršnjaka. Danas, kada njena kćerka želi pohađati takav ljetni kamp, rediteljicin bol i potisnuta prošlost isplivali su na površinu. Drugi izvanredni mađarski film PRIČA NJENIH MAJKI, debitantkinja Asie Dér i Sáre Haragonics, prati (bivšu) političarku i njezinu partnericu muzičarku u njihovoj borbi da usvoje romsku djevojčicu. U današnjoj Mađarskoj, gdje desničarska politika sve više jača, a brak je definisan isključivo kao zajednica muškarca i žene, protagonistice filma osjećaju da je egzil jedino rješenje. THE FOURTH CHARACTER Katerine Patroni, au-

40 26. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – DOKUMENTARNI FILM

torice koja je zasigurno jedna od najoriginalnijih glasova recentne grčke kinematografije, suptilni je meditativni esej o ljudskoj intimi, pitanjima gubitka, krivice i iskupljenja. Izvrsno osmišljen dizajn zvuka te briljantna fotografija dočaravaju izoliranost i usamljenost troje protagonista. Druga odlika našeg ovogodišnjeg programa jeste snažna zastupljenost ženskih glasova. Više od polovine odabranih filmova režirale su i producirale žene. U austrijsko-rumunskom filmu WOOD tri rediteljice hrabro istražuju mafijašku rabotu ilegalne sječe šuma i preprodaje drveta. Monica Lăzurean-Gorgan (dobitnica nagrade Srce Sarajeva 2016), Michaela Kirst i Ebba Sinzinger u ovom filmu, koji ima sve odlike trilera s aktivističkim srcem, odvažno razotkrivaju ovu svjetsku megakriminalnu aktivnost. Potresni film turskog reditelja Eytana İpekera IZBOR ZA MISS donosi priču o neobičnom, i prilično šokantnom, izboru misice koji se od 2011. redovno održava u izraelskom gradu Haifi. Gospođe u poznim godinama, sve odreda žrtve holokausta, učestvuju u natjecanju “Miss Holokaust” kako bi prikupile novac neophodan za opstanak njihovog staračkog doma. ACASĂ, MOJ DOM jedan je od najnagrađivanijih filmova Istočne Evrope u ovoj sezoni. Upečatljivu priču o slobodi, izolaciji i egzilu režirao je debitant Radu Ciorniciuc, donoseći izvrsno istraženu i suptilno ispričanu neobičnu sudbinu romske porodice s devetero djece koja dvije decenije živi slobodno u divljini najveće urbane delte. Iznenada, opština odlučuje da intervenira i izmjesti obitelj u njima posve neprihvatljive urbane uslove. Rumunski reditelj Tudor Platon, poznat kao izvrstan snimatelj, u svojoj KUĆA LUTAKA opservira stilom „muhe na zidu“ baku i njezine prijateljice koje još jednom pokušavaju biti mlade. Kako prihvatiti svoje (ostarjelo) tijelo dok je duh još mlad? Uz suptilni humor i melanholiju, film uranja u živote tih šarmantnih penzionerki dok se podvrgavaju raznim tretmanima i prisjećaju prošlosti, osobito ljubavi i seksa. U SLAVU LJUBAVI srbijanske rediteljice Tamare Drakulić, sinematički originalan, meditativan film koji svjedoči o autoricinom istančanom filmskom rukopisu, elegantna je oda svakodnevnici meksičkih starosjedilaca u jednom malom selu. No Damaklov mač visi nad njima jer uskoro stiže industrijska kompanija koja će im uništiti zemlju i životni mir. Dva kratka filma, dvije velike teme, oba iz Bosne i Hercegovine, djela su mladih autora


koji obećavaju svijetlu budućnost domaćoj dokumentarističkoj sceni. NEK JE ŠTO ŠARENIJE Ade Hasanovića hrabro ulazi u još uvijek tabu temu, homoseksualnost i prvu LGBTQI+ Povorku ponosa održanu u Sarajevu, dok film NENAD Mladena Bundala na filmski kreativan način posmatra migranta iz Bosne i njegovu životnu borbu. U poetičnom filmu – MIR NAŠE GOSPE – renomirani crnogorski reditelj Vladimir Perović promišlja o vezi između elemenata prirode i duhovnosti. Međunarodno afirmisani srbijanski autor Mladen Kovačević, u svom majstorski napravljenom MERRY CHRISTMAS, YIWU, izvrsno je istražio i filmski oslikao život neobične kineske zajednice u megapolisu, u kojem 600 fabrika izrađuje svjetlucave božićne i novogodišnje ukrase te snabdijeva cijeli svijet. Novinar Šeki Radončić, koji se okrenuo dokumentarnom filmu, u ZAVJERI hrabro istražuje okolnosti i istinu oko pokušaja državnog udara te rušenja premijera Crne Gore, a sve uz pomoć Rusije i Srbije. Svim autorima i publici želimo dobre projekcije unatoč novim okolnostima prikazivanja, te zdravstveno sigurne i ugodne festivalske dane.

E The COVID-19 crisis has taught us to look deeper into the values of everyday life, of human communication and behaviour. From this perspective, one can clearly see that the need to isolate oneself, either to hide or to run away from something painful and disturbing, is very visible in most of the films we have selected.

HOLY FATHER, our opening film, is the gripping, intimate story of up-and-coming European master documentarist Andrei Dăscălescu in his attempt to reconnect with his own father, who replaced his family life with isolation on Mount Atos. With a great sense of humour, witty cinematic solutions and lots of charm, the proficient Romanian auteur deals delicately with his personal story of abandonment while in need to prepare for fatherhood himself. The project took part in our Docu Rough Cut Boutique, as did the Croatian film ONE OF US by Đuro Gavran, who chose a very challenging approach to making his film by staying in a closed space and masterfully observing a school reunion. The mysterious story of the rape of a school colleague slowly comes to the surface. Another compelling documentary that deals with rape HOLD ME TIGHT by young Serbian actor Danijela Štajnfeld who was raped by a famous man in her professional circle, turns the camera in her debut towards herself and other

rape victims abused by colleagues, who are usually in positions in which they hold greater power than those they violate. In a way, dealing with abuse is a key element of this year’s selection. One of two strong films from Hungary – RETURN TO EPIPO – is captivating personal account from director Judit Olah, who recalls trauma of abuse by a leader at a children’s camp, who victimised a dozen of Olah’s peers. Today, when her own daughter greatly wishes to attend the same summer camp, buried history of abuse and pain resurface. Another remarkable Hungarian film deals with a couple who are forced into exile. As in Hungary’s increasingly right-wing political climate the constitution determines what constitutes a legal marriage, a gay couple faces numerous hurdles attempting to adopt a Roma girl. In their debut HER MOTHERS, which also participated in our Docu Rough Cut Boutique, Asia Dér and Sári Haragonics follow their charming protagonists through their long struggle with a sensitive lens and close access. The international premiere of THE FOURTH CHARACTER, made by one of the most original voices of Greek cinema – Katerina Patroni, shares the intimate confessions of three very peculiar people who feel isolated and lonely in their own skin, after having gone through profound life tragedies. This subtle and meditative film essay deals with loss, faith, guilt and redemption. Another key attribute this year is a strong female presence. More than half of films are directed and produced by women. In the Austrian-Romanian production WOOD, three brave women courageously disclose how the international mafia deals in illegal wood trafficking. Monica Lăzurean-Gorgan, (winner of the Heart of Sarajevo in 2016), Michaela Kirst and Ebba Sinzinger follow an investigator as he exposes this mega-crime in a film that flows like a thriller with an activist heart. The mind-boggling THE PAGEANT by Turkish director Eytan İpeker is a story of a unique beauty contest that has taken place in Haifa since 2011. Old women, Holocaust survivors in their eighties, and even nineties, participate in an event called Miss Holocaust to raise money to save their care home. ACASĂ, MY HOME is probably the most awarded East European film of this year. After winning at Sundance, they competed successfully at dozens of festivals. The film marks director Radu

Ciorniciuc’s debut narrates a unique story of freedom and exile, in which a family with nine children, after having been living in the wilderness of the Bucharest Delta for twenty years, are driven away by state authorities and forced to adapt to life in the big city. In HOUSE OF DOLLS, another young director from Romania – the renowned cinematographer Tudor Platon – observes his own granny and her peers during days of retreat, in a fly-on-the-wall cinematic style. The film delves with humour and melancholia into the lives of these charming women, who undergo beauty treatments and recollect memorable scenes of their lives, reflecting on love and sex, family obligation and health. How to deal with one’s own aging body when the spirit is still young? IN PRAISE OF LOVE, that also participated at the Docu RCB, by Serbian director Tamara Drakulić, is an elegant, poetic ode to the everyday rituals of indigenous Mexicans who live peacefully in a small village. The Damocles sword hangs above them in the form of the arrival of big industry, which threatens to destroy their old way of life. Two shorts from Bosnia and Herzegovina address big topics, and show great upcoming talent. LET THERE BE COLOURS by Ado Hasanović deals with the sensitive topic of LGBTQI+ Pride, while NENAD by Mladen Bundalo observes a migrant’s struggle of survival. In a short, poetic film beautifully shot OUR LADY’S PEACE, the renowned Montenegrin director Vladimir Perović looks at the relationship between elements of nature and spirituality. Mladen Kovačević, the internationally established auteur from Serbia, dives with mastery into his MERRY CHRISTMAS YIWU, which observes the Chinese megacity where 600 factories supply the whole world with glittery Christmas and New Year’s decorations. Without an ounce of fear, journalist-turned-documentarist Šeki Radončić investigates the conspiracy of an attempted political coup that was supposed to take down the current prime minister of Montenegro with the help of Russia and Serbia. Sixteen films, sixteen cinematic gems with exciting, relevant stories, most of them will experience their films first audience in Sarajevo. We wish them all virus-free screenings and lots of viewers, as well as good health and strength in keeping the documentary profession alive in these challenging times.

Acasă / Acasă, moj dom / Acasă, My Home Porodica Enache – devetero djece i njihovi roditelji – dvije decenije živjeli su u kolibi u divljini bukureštanske delte, jednog od najvećih urbanih prirodnih rezervata na svijetu s jezerima i stotinama životinjskih i rijetkih biljnih vrsta. Kada vlasti odluče preuzeti taj jedinstveni urbani ekosistem, porodicu Enache deložiraju i sele u grad koji za njih predstavlja nepoznat svijet. Djeca koja su život provela u divljini moraju se navići na gradski život. Umjesto da plivaju u jezeru, moraju ići u školu, a svoje ribarske štapove mijenjaju za mobilne telefone. Njihov identitet je doveden u pitanje i preobražen ujedno s njihovim osjećajem slobode i porodičnim vezama. Dirljivi debitantski film Radua Ciorniciuca duboko je promišljena studija modernizacije, posmatrana kroz oči porodice koja se pokušava navići na novi život kojem nikada nisu težili. Da li je za njih bolje da se vrate u svoj “izgubljeni raj”, u kojem su živjeli teško, ali bili slobodni, ili da se uklope u društvo koje im nudi znatno veći komfor, ali i obilje pritiska i sukoba? Radu Ciorniciuc jedan je od osnivača prve rumunske nezavisne medijske organizacije Casa Jurnalistului. Prepoznat je kao istraživački novinar i autor dužih članaka o ljudskim pravima, dobrobiti životinja i globalnom pitanju zaštite životne sredine. Njegovi izvještaji su objavljivani u medijima poput Channel 4 News, The Guardian i Al-Jazeera. Dobitnik je brojnih međunarodnih nagrada, među kojima i nagrade Amnesty Internationala, Kraljevskog televizijskog udruženja i Fondacije Wincott. E For two decades, the Enache family – nine children and their parents – lived in a shack in the wilderness of the Bucharest Delta: an abandoned water reservoir, one of the biggest urban natural reservations in the world, containing lakes and hundreds of species of animals and rare plants. When the authorities decide to reclaim this rare urban ecosystem, the Enaches are evicted and told to resettle in the city – a reality they know nothing about. Kids who used to spend their days in nature have to learn about city life, go to school instead of swimming in the lake, and swap their fishing rods for mobile phones. Their identity has been questioned and transformed, along with their sense of freedom and family ties. Radu Ciorniciuc’s heartbreaking debut is a thoughtful study of gentrification, seen through the eyes of a family trying to adapt to the new life they never asked for. Is it better to go back to their “paradise lost,” with its life free yet harsh, or to become part of the society that offers comforts but comes with pressures and conflict?

Radu Ciorniciuc co-founded the first independent media organization in Romania, Casa Jurnalistului. He works as a long-form writer and undercover investigative reporter, focusing on human rights, animal welfare, and environmental issues across the globe. His work has been published on Channel 4 News, the Guardian, and Al-Jazeera, and has received numerous international awards, including from Amnesty International, the Royal Television Society, and the Wincott Foundation.

Anyáim története / Priča mojih majki / Her Mothers Zahvaljujući sve većoj radikalizaciji na mađarskoj političkoj sceni, Virág – nekadašnja članica Stranke zelenih – gubi vjeru u demokratičnost mađarskog parlamenta i povlači se iz politike. Ona i njena partnerica Nóra, inače muzičarka, odlučuju usvojiti dijete i posvetiti se osnivanju porodice. Asia Dér i Sári Haragonics prate te dvije žene tokom njihove duge i u konačnici uspješne borbe da usvoje djevojčicu romskog porijekla i dovedu je kući. Međutim, nakon ostvarenog cilja, napetost između protagonistica raste jer dok Virág uživa u ulozi majke, Nora se muči da pronađe svoje mjesto u njihovoj porodici. Dok se mržnja i homofobija šire Mađarskom i počinju uticati na njihovu porodicu, dvije žene stižu do prelomne tačke u životu, i prisiljene su odlučiti žele li napustiti svoju domovinu ili ne.

E As Hungary’s political climate becomes increasingly radicalized, Virág, a former green politician, loses faith in the pretending-to-be democratic parliament of Hungary and retires from politics. She and her musician partner Nóra decide to adopt a child and focus on building a family together. Asia Dér and Sári Haragonics follow the two women through their lengthy and ultimately successful adoption process to bring home their young daughter of Roma origin. But tensions begin to rise between the two as Virág thrives in her role as a mother and Nóra struggles to find her place within the family. As the rising tides of hate and homophobia in Hungary begin to overflow into their family, their lives hit a boiling point and they must face the difficult decision of whether to leave their country behind.

Casa cu păpuși / Kuća lutaka / House of Dolls Istraživanje posebnog svemira: godišnjeg odmora grupe sedamdesetogodišnjakinja. Cica, Nana, Pupi i Elena dobrovoljno se izoluju u seoskoj vili, daleko od muškaraca i zahtjevne svakodnevnice. Dijele uspomene i nostalgiju, melanholiju i sreću, tračeve i zamjerke. Sve kako bi zadržale iluziju da vrijeme nije prošlo, da je sve što im se dogodilo bio jedan dug i iscrpljujući san i da su još uvijek jednako lijepe i mlade kao što su bile prije pedeset godina. Tudor Platon direktor je fotografije iz Rumunije. Diplomirao je i magistrirao filmsku kameru na Državnom univerzitetu za film i pozorište u Bukureštu. Njegovi kratkometražni i dugometražni filmovi osvojili su nagrade za najbolju kameru te su prikazani na brojnim filmskim festivalima, uključujući festivale u Cannesu, Torontu, Locarnu i Varšavi. KUĆA LUTAKA njegov je rediteljski prvenac i dio je iscrpne i iznimno lične serije projekata posvećenih njegovoj porodici. E An exploration of a special universe: the annual vacation of a group of 70-year-old women. Far from men and the madness of daily life, Cica, Nana, Pupi and Elena isolate themselves voluntarily in a villa in the countryside. Together, they blend memories and nostalgia, melancholia and joy, gossip and reproaches. All this to keep up the illusion that time has not passed, that everything has been a long and exhausting dream. That they are still the same beautiful and attractive girls they were 50 years ago. Now, Cica, Nana, Pupi and Elena are captive in bodies they do not recognise and do not know how to deal with.

Tudor Platon is a Romanian director of photography. He holds a BA and an MA in cinematography from the National Film and Theatre University in Bucharest.

Hold Me Right / Zacijeli me ZACIJELI ME je dokumentarni film o posljedicama koje trpe žrtve i počinioci seksualnog nasilja, zasnovan na intimnim svjedočenjima osoba koje su preživjele seksualni napad. Film kombinuje svjedočanstva osoba koje su preživjele seksualni napad i sekvence iz njihovog kasnijeg života, postavljajući pitanje šta se može smatrati oporavkom. Autorica filma Danijela Štajnfeld snagu crpi iz empatije jer je i sama, kao mlada glumica u Srbiji, bila žrtva seksualnog nasilja. Nakon što je izgubila mogućnost da sigurno priča o napadu koji je doživjela, skupila je hrabrost da kroz proces susreta i intervjua svoju priču podijeli s drugima koji su prošli kroz slična iskustva. Dok nas ljutnja i strah odvraćaju od neophodnih razgovora o svim aspektima seksualnog nasilja, ZACIJELI ME se fokusira na izuzetnu štetnost skrivanja istine i pokazuje kako je moguće nastaviti život nakon seksualnog napada. Danijela Štajnfeld odrastala je tokom rata u jednom malom selu u Srbiji. Magistrirala je na Akademiji za film i pozorište Univerziteta umetnosti u Beogradu. Nakon toga, stiče naklonost kritičara i publike ulogama na filmu, televiziji i u pozorištu u svojoj domovini – Srbiji. Njen rediteljski prvenac, THE HOLE, premijerno je prikazan 2016. na Filmskom festivalu New Filmmakers u New Yorku, a uvršten je i u reviju filmova „Žene iza kamere“ u Los Angelesu. Štajnfeld se bori protiv seksualnog nasilja i jedna je od glasnogovornica američke Državne mreže za borbu protiv silovanja i incesta (RAINN). E HOLD ME RIGHT is a documentary that explores the aftermath of sexual assault through intimate first-hand testimonies that unveil the culture of sexual violence as it affects both survivors and perpetrators alike. The film interweaves individual portraits and vérité sequences that take us into the arc of a survivor’s journey, interrogating what it means to heal. Filmmaker Danijela Stajnfeld finds power in empathy as she wrestles with her own experience of surviving an assault as a young actress in Serbia. After losing the ability to speak up about her assault safely, she finds the courage to share her own story through the process of meeting and interviewing survivors like herself. As anger and fear hold us back from necessary dialogues that address both sides of abuse, HOLD ME RIGHT takes a close look at the profound damage of silence, finding a path forward.

Jedna od nas / One of Us Na proslavi petnaestogodišnjice mature kolege iz razreda prisjećaju se srednjoškolskih dogodovština. Kako večer odmiče, sljedovi hrane i pića se nižu, razgovori su sve otvoreniji, ali jednu temu s nelagodom izbjegavaju, sve dok ih alkohol ne ohrabri da započnu razgovor o šokantnom pismu koje su svi primili. Pismu u kojem njihova kolegica iznosi svoju mučnu ispovijest o brutalnom zlostavljanju koje je proživljavala kao dijete i srednjoškolka. Đuro Gavran rođen je 1982. u Bjelovaru, Hrvatska.

Merry Christmas, Yiwu Komunistički ideali odavno su izgubili vrijednost u Yiwuu, gradu sa preko 600 božićnih fabrika u kojima se proizvodi sve što je potrebno za Božić širom svijeta. Zahvaljujući porastu plata, radnici u fabrikama mogu priuštiti da kupe najnovije telefone iPhone, ali još uvijek žive nagurani u radničkim barakama. Svi redom su migranti u vlastitoj zemlji, čeznu za dalekim destinacijama, nekima nedostaje porodica koju su ostavili u rodnom mjestu, a drugima, pak, kada se za praznike vrate kući, nedostaju prijatelji i ljubavnici iz fabrika u kojima rade. Mladim radnicima već su dosadili dugi radni sati, hemijska isparenja i šljokice, i ne zanima ih što njihovi roditelji žele da se oni obrazuju. Zaglavljeni između kineske tradicije i novootkrivenog kineskog sna, žele imati vlastite biznise, biti bogati, nezavisni, zaljubljeni. Mladen Kovačević rođen je 1979. Režiju igranog filma studirao je u Londonu i Cape Townu, a dokumentarnim filmovima se posvetio u proteklih nekoliko godina. Kovačevićevi filmovi prikazani su na brojnim filmskim festivalima, između ostalih na festivalima Visions du Réel, IDFA, Hot Docs, CPH:DOX, FIDMarseille i Sarajevo Film Festivalu, te su višestruko nagrađivani i međunarodno distribuirani. Njegov posljednji dugometražni dokumentarni film MERRY CHRISMAS, YIWU premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu. E Communist ideals have long lost their value in Yiwu, China, a city that features 600 Christmas factories, in which Christmas as we know it is produced for the entire world. With rising wages, workers in these factories can now afford the newest iPhones, but they still live in crowded dormitories. All of them are migrants in their own country, nostalgic for some faraway place; some miss their families left in hometowns, other miss their friends and lovers from the factories when they go home for holidays. The younger generation is already tired of long factory hours, chemical fumes and glitter particles, and they do not care for their parents’ wishes that they become educated. Trapped between Chinese tradition and the newly discovered Chinese dream, they want their own businesses, to be rich, to be independent, to be in love.

Mladen Kovačević (1979) studied fiction film directing in London and Cape Town, and has dedicated himself to documentaries overthe past several years. His films have been screened at Visions du Réel, the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Film Festival, the Sarajevo Film Festival, CPH:DOX, FIDMarseille, and have won awards and been distributed internationally. His most recent feature-length documentary, MERRY CHRISTMAS, YIWU, had its premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

Mir naše Gospe / Our Lady’s Peace Junak, protagonista ili trpilac ove priče jeste mjesto mira, čistoće i spokoja: skoro pet stoljeća staro svetilište na usamljenom ostrvcetu – Gospa od Škripjela, ispred Perasta u Boki Kotorskoj. Danas na njega nasrće čudan antagonista, s više lica: brzina, buka, površnost i taština modernog doba. Nebesko naspram zemaljskog, prolazno naspram vječnog, materijalno naspram duhovnog… Vladimir Perović diplomirao je filmsku i TV-režiju na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu. Njegovi kreativni dokumentarci osvojili su 103 nagrade na festivalima u bivšoj Jugoslaviji i širom svijeta. Više puta je bio član žirija na filmskim festivalima u bivšoj Jugoslaviji, Crnoj Gori, Srbiji, Iranu, Rusiji, Njemačkoj i Rumuniji te je držao nastavu za master studije u Kini, Turskoj, Grčkoj, Bosni i Hercegovini, Crnoj Gori i Srbiji. Perović je gostujući profesor dokumentarnog filma na Fakultetu dramskih umjetnosti Cetinje. E The hero, main protagonist, or sufferer of this story is a place of peace, purity and comfort: Our Lady of the Rocks, a five-century-old church on a lonely islet off the coast of Perast in the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. Today, it is under assault by an unusual, multi-faced antagonist: the speed, noise, shallowness and vanity of modern times. Divine against worldly, transient against timeless, the material against the spiritual…

Vladimir Perović graduated in film and television directing from the Faculty of Drama Arts in Belgrade. His creative documentaries have won 103 awards at film festivals in the former Yugoslavia and around the world. He has served as a jury member at film festivals in Germany, Iran, Montenegro, Romania, Russia, Serbia and the former Yugoslavia, and and has led master classes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Greece, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey.

Nek je što šarenije / Let There Be Colour U Sarajevu je 8. septembra 2019. prvi put organizovana Povorka ponosa. Povorke ponosa danas su nezaobilazan događaj u svim evropskim glavnim gradovima iako su pripadnici LGBTQI+ zajednica u mnogim od njih daleko od toga da se u potpunosti izbore za svoja prava. U Bosni i Hercegovini, kompleksnoj zemlji koja i dalje traži inkluzivan pristup pripadnicima te zajednice, a istovremeno se nosi s ratnim traumama, Povorka ponosa bila je preloman događaj u smislu javne percepcije LGBTQI+ osoba i njihovog prava na vidljivost. Ado Hasanović rođen je 1986. u Srebrenici. U periodu od 2008. do 2011. bio je kreativni direktor Festivala kratkog filma u Srebrenici. Magistrirao je dramaturgiju na Akademiji scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu, a 2015. postao je umjetnički direktor Mediteranskog festivala kratkog filma. Hasanović je završio prestižnu Državnu filmsku školu Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia u Rimu, 2017. godine. Njegovi kratki filmovi ANĐEO SREBRENICE, PLAVI VIKING U SARAJEVU, MAMA, DAŠAK ŽIVOTA U SREBRENICI i NOMOFOBIJA prikazani su na brojnim filmskim festivalima i osvojili su niz nagrada. E On 8 September 2019, Sarajevo hosted its first Pride March. Today, Pride marches are an unmissable event in all the major European cities, even though in many countries official recognition of equal rights for the LGBTQI+ community is still far from being secure. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, a complex country still torn by the aftermath of war and that is striving for an inclusive approach towards this community, this march marked a turning point in the general perception of the LGBTQI+ community in the country and of its right to exist.

Ado Hasanović was born in 1986 in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. From 2008 to 2011, he served as Creative Director of the Srebrenica Short Film Festival. He completed a Master in Dramaturgy degree at the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo. In 2015, he began working for the Mediterranean Short Film Festival, where he served as Art Director. In 2017, Hasanović finished studies at the prestigious Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome. His short films THE ANGEL OF SREBRENICA, BLUE VIKING IN SARAJEVO, MAMA, BREATH OF LIFE SREBRENICA and NOMOPHOBIA have been shown at numerous film festivals and have won various awards.

Tatal nostru / Holy Father Filmski autor i njegova djevojka saznaju da će postati roditelji. Dok buduća majka s mukom pokušava izaći na kraj s pogrešnim uzorima koje pronalazi u okrilju vlastite razorene porodice, budući otac se mora pomiriti s davno izgubljenim ocem koji se zamonašio na planini Atos. I dok devet mjeseci trudnoće prolazi, potraga za odgovorima i pomirenjem – ponekad iznimno napeta i puna gorčine – kao da otvara put za nešto puno značajnije. Andrei Dăscălescu rođen je 1984. godine u Piatra Neamțu, Rumunija. Studirao je montažu i zvuk na Fakultetu za film u Bukureštu, a prije nego što je počeo snimati vlastite filmove, imao je jedinstvenu priliku da radi kao pomoćnik legendarnog montažera Waltera Murcha. Sa svojim prvim dokumentarcem CONSTANTIN AND ELENA osvojio je nagradu za najbolji debitantski film Međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu, kao i nekoliko drugih nagrada. Njegovi kratki dokumentarci GYURI i AN AWESOME FILM, kao i kratki igrani film FLY, prikazani su na više filmskih festivala. Tokom studija Dăscălescu je učestvovao i na brojnim radionicama u Sarajevu, Amsterdamu, Lisabonu, Londonu, Berlinu i Rijeci. HOLY FATHER njegov je treći dugometražni dokumentarni film. E The filmmaker and his girlfriend are faced with the news of becoming parents. While the future mother is struggling with no worthy role models in her broken home, the soon-to-be-father must come to terms with his long-lost father, now a monk on Mount Athos. But as the nine months go by, the quest for answers and reconciliation – sometimes full of anxiety and resentment – seem to be making way for something much more meaningful.

Andrei Dăscălescu was born in 1984 in Piatra Neamț, Romania. He studied editing and sound at the Film Faculty in Bucharest, and had the chance to work as an assistant to the legendary editor Walter Murch. He then moved on to make his own films, having an acclaimed documentary debut with CONSTANTIN AND ELENA, which won an IDFA First Appearance Award as well as several other prizes. His other works to appear on the festival circuit include the short documentaries GYURI and AN AWESOME FILM, and the short fiction film FLY.

The Pageant / Izbor za Miss Od 2011. u Haifi se svake godine održava jedinstven izbor ljepote. Sve učesnice preživjele su holokaust. Usred tog raskošnog spektakla, koji sponzorira evangelistička crkvena organizacija, učesnice se i dalje bore sa svojim dubokim traumama. Ovaj dokumentarni film istražuje veze između sjećanja, politike i spektakla. Eytan İpeker rođen je 1981. u Istanbulu. Diplomirao je na Univerzitetu u New Yorku. Njegovi eksperimentalni kratki filmovi prikazani su na brojnim međunarodnim filmskim festivalima, uključujući festivale u Torontu i Edinburghu. İpeker je suosnivač produkcijske kompanije Kamara osnovane 2011. S prvim igranim filmom ALBUM, koji je snimio u koprodukciji s televizijskim kanalom Arte France, 2016. osvojio je nagradu programa Visionary Semaine de la Critique Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, kao i nagrade za najbolji igrani film Sarajevo Film Festivala i Filmskog festivala u Jerusalemu. Osim svojih filmova, İpeker je montirao i filmove Gürcana Kelteka OVERTIME, LABOUR POWER PLANT i MİMAROĞLU. E Every year since 2011, a unique beauty contest takes place in Haifa. The contestants are female survivors of the Holocaust. In the midst of this flashy spectacle sponsored by an Evangelical Christian organization, the personal traumas of the survivors remain as deep as ever. A documentary about how memory, politics and spectacle are interconnected.

Eytan İpeker was born in 1981 in İstanbul. He graduated from New York University. His experimental shorts have been screened at many international film festivals, including at Toronto and Edinburgh. He co-founded the production company Kamara in 2011. ALBÜM, the first feature-length film he produced, was co-produced by Arte France and won the Visionary Award of the Critics’ Week at the Festival de Cannes, and was named Best Feature at the Sarajevo Film Festival and Best First Feature at the Jerusalem Film Festival. As well as his own films, İpeker has edited Gürcan Keltek’s OVERTIME, LABOUR POWER PLANT and MİMAROĞLU.

U slavu ljubavi / In Praise of Love Otvarajući nam vrata svog polako odumirućeg svijeta punog mitova, odvažnih susreta, poduhvata i dubokih sagledavanja manje očiglednih tokova društvene stvarnosti, Beto nas također vodi i tamo gdje najviše i sam voli da ide – u nepoznato. Sintetički svijet, nastao radi ovog filma, spaja maleno pustinjsko selo sa Shakespeareom, lokalne legende s romantičnom tragedijom dalekog kontinenta, aktuelnu svakodnevicu s tragovima minulih vremena. Vodeći nas u “središte ove zemlje”, Beto nas dovodi do ostvarenja namjere iskazane u naslovu filma i tačke iz koje se briga o sebi razotkriva kao neraskidivo povezana s brigom o bićima oko sebe. Tamara Drakulić magistrirala je vizuelnu antropologiju na Filozofskom fakultetu u Beogradu. Autorica je četiri filma, od kojih dva potpisuje kao producentica, montažerka i glumica. Njeni filmovi prikazani su u takmičarskoj konkurenciji više značajnih filmskih festivala, uključujući Filmski festival u Torinu, Filmski festival u Göteborgu, Međunarodni festival dokumentarnog filma u Jihlavi, Međunarodni festival nezavisnog filma u Buenos Airesu, Festival istočnoevropskog filma u Cottbusu, Međunarodni filmski festival Carl u Sofiji, Festival evropskog filma CineDays u Skoplju te Festival autorskog filma u Beogradu. E By opening the door into his slowly dying world, which is rich in myths, brave encounters, adventures and deep insights into social processes, Beto takes us where he likes going the most: into the unknown. The synthetic world created for this film brings together a small desert village and Shakespeare, local legends and a distant continent’s romantic tragedy, present reality and traces of the old world. By taking us into the “centre of this world,” Beto helps us do what the title of the film calls for: bringing us to a point where caring for oneself is inseparable from caring for others.

Tamara Drakulić finished her Master’s thesis in visual anthropology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. She is currently working on her Ph.D thesis in visual anthropology. She has made four films, two of which she produced, edited and appears in. Her films have been selected for the competitions of several notable film festivals around the world, including the Torino Film Festival, the Göteborg Film Festival, the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival, BAFICI, the Cottbus Film Festival, the Carl International Film Festival, the Sofia International Film Festival, Cinedays Skopje and the Belgrade Auteur Film Festival.

Osamdesetih godina prošlog vijeka mnogi mladi ljudi u Mađarskoj sanjali su o odmoru u jedinstvenom ljetnom kampu, magičnom mjestu gdje su se mogli pretvarati da su neko drugi. Harizmatični vođa Epipoa očaravao je djecu, ali nad njihovim nevinim igrama nadvijale su se sjene poniženja i prikrivenog zlostavljanja.

E Back in the late 1980s, many Hungarian youngsters dreamed of a holiday at a unique summer camp, of visiting a realm of role-playing and magic. The charismatic leader of Epipo cast a spell over these children, yet behind their innocent games lurked the shadow of humiliation and concealed abuse.

Judit Oláh finished her MA at Eötvös Lóránt University in 2014 in the department of film studies. In parallel with her studies in film theory and history, she attended the faculty of filmmaking. With the support of the Hungarian National Film Fund, she made her first short film BEAUTY QUEEN, which screened at several festivals. Since then, alongside working on television documentaries and short films, she completed her first feature-length documentary, RETURN TO EPIPO.

Wood Od sibirskih tajgi preko nedirnutih šuma u Rumuniji i prašuma u Peruu: širom svijeta ilegalna sječa šume pojedincima donosi ogroman profit. Potrošači u razvijenim zapadnim zemljama sretni su zbog niskih cijena u prodavnicama drvnih proizvoda i namještaja, ali bez sumnje bi bili šokirani kada bi znali odakle to što kupuju vuče porijeklo. Alexander von Bismarck, pra-pra-pranećak Željeznog kancelara, godinama progoni pripadnike drvne mafije. Kao predsjednik Agencije za istraživanje zločina protiv prirode sa sjedištem u Washingtonu, stalno je na terenu. Ne ustručava se prerušavati i pretvarati da je neko drugi, kao ni koristiti skrivena tehnička pomagala kako bi rasvijetlio ilegalne aktivnosti. Svjestan je da se kriminalna mreža ne može rastočiti sve dok korumpirani političari i nezainteresovane državne agencije ignorišu ilegalne aktivnosti. Zbog toga, uz svoje istražne aktivnosti, težište u svome radu stavlja i na podizanje javne i političke svijesti o katastrofalnim posljedicama ilegalne sječe šume, s obzirom na to da su “zelena pluća” svijeta odavno dramatično ugrožena. Monica Lăzurean-Gorgan bila je glavna producentica filma Adine Pintili, NE DIRAJ ME, koji je osvojio Zlatnog medvjeda na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. Uspješno je režirala i film SAMO DAŠAK s kojim je osvojila nagradu za najbolji dokumentarni film na Filmskom festivalu LET’S CEE te Srce Sarajeva za najbolji dokumentarni film. Michaela Kirst dugo godina je radila kao novinarka u New Yorku, a od 2011. predsjednica je berlinskog ureda Sagafilma. Režira i producira dokumentarne filmove za televiziju i kinodistribuciju. Njeni dokumentarci osvojili su brojne nagrade. Ebba Sinzinger producirala je i koproducirala više filmova, uključujući filmove Patrica Chiha BRAĆA NOĆI i DOMAINE, te ZABORAVLJENO MJESTO Noëla Burcha i Allana Secula, koji su osvojili nagrade na filmskim festivalima u Berlinu, Veneciji i Locarnu. E From the taiga in Siberia to the primary forests of Romania to the primeval Peruvian jungle: around the world, billions of dollars are made from illegal logging. First-world consumers are happy about low prices at the hardware and furniture stores, but would doubtless be shocked if they knew the origins of these goods. Alexander von Bismarck, great-great-great-nephew of the Iron Chancellor, has been on the timber mafia’s trail for years. As the head of the Environmental Investigation Agency in Washington, DC, he takes to the road tirelessly. He doesn’t shy away from changing his persona and appearance and employing concealed technical means to bring illegal activities to light. He knows the swamp of crime can’t be drained while corrupt politicians and idle authorities remain indifferent to these illegal activities. So for Von Bismarck, an essential part of his work, over and above his detective activities, is raising political and public awareness of the disastrous consequences of forest depletion – as the state of the planet’s “green lung” has long since assumed dramatic proportions.

Monica Lăzurean-Gorgan was the delegate producer of Adina Pintili’s Golden Bear Winner TOUCH ME NOT. She also successfully directed A MERE BREATH, which won Best Documentary at LET’S CEE Film Fest and the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Documentary Film. Michaela Kirst worked for many years as a journalist in New York City, and has headed the Berlin office of Sagafilm since 2011. She creates documentaries for television and cinema as director and/or producer. Her films have won numerous awards. Ebba Sinzinger produced and co-produced films like BROTHERS OF THE NIGHT and DOMAIN by Patric Chiha, THE FORGOTTEN SPACE by Noël Burch and Allan Secula, which have won awards in Berlin, Venice and Locarno.

Uvod / Introduction Ovogodišnji Takmičarski program – kratki film donosi 10 kratkih filmova koji se takmiče za Nagradu Srce Sarajeva. Iako smo selekciju radili na manjem broju pogledanih filmova, finalni izbor nije bilo jednostavno napraviti. Nakon gledanja oko 400 kratkih filmova, možemo slobodno zaključiti da je produkcija kratkometražnog igranog i animiranog filma izuzetno živa i raznovrsna. Osobito je važno napomenuti da govorimo o godini koja u produkcijskom smislu kao da je završila zaključno s februarom, dok je u suštini tek trebala početi. No u međuvremenu, producenti i autori su nam ponudili mnogo toga, uprkos padu broja završenih filmova.

E Ten films vie for the Heart of Sarajevo Award in this year’s Competition Program – Short Film. Although we received fewer submissions than usual, making the selection has not been an easy task. After watching some 400 shorts, we are confident that the world of short and animated film remains a very lively and varied place – a significant and comforting conclusion in a year in which films stopped production in February, whereas, under normal circumstances, they would be kicking off. Still, despite the drop in the overall number of completed films, producers and auteurs provided us with many titles to choose from.

Ova selekcija je dobar odraz stanja produkcije kratke forme. Iz Rumunije nam stiže izuzetan animirani film NEVIDLJIVI autorske grupe 4inaroom, dok je film MIKROKAZETA – NAJMANJA KAZETA KOJU SAM IKADA VIDIO, rediteljskog dvojca Igora Bezinovića i Ivane Pipal, zanimljiva kombinacija igrane i animirane forme. Iz Turske ćemo imati priliku vidjeti film MAMAVILLE rediteljice Irmak Karasu, premijerno prikazanog na Filmskom festivalu u Oberhausen, koji na izuzetno senzualan i autentičan način prikazuje dvije generacijski različite žene. Prikazat ćemo i film PREOKRET iz Armenije, rediteljice Ovsanne Shekoyan. Bugarska rediteljica Slava Doytcheva vraća se u Takmičarski program s novim kratkim filmom LJUSKE OD JAJA s istom temom – homoseksualnošću. Slovenačka rediteljica Sara Kern imat će svjetsku premijeru s filmom ZBOGOM, VESNA, koji također pruža još jedan novi pogled na ženu i majčinstvo.

The line-up is a good overview of the current state of short film production. From Romania comes an exceptional animated film, INVISIBLES, by a group of auteurs collectively known as 4inaroom, while from Croatia we welcome an interesting film that combines animation and documentary, MICROCASSETTE – THE SMALLEST CASSETTE I’VE EVER SEEN, co-directed by Igor Bezinović and Ivana Pipal. Turkey is represented by Irmak Karsu’s MAMAVILLE, his sensual, authentic portrait of two women of different generations, which had its premiere at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen. This year, we also greet a film from Armenia – TWIST, by Ovsanna Shekoyan. Bulgarian director Slava Doytcheva returns to our competition programme with her latest short, EGGSHELLS, in which she once again considers homosexual themes. Slovenian director Sara Kern offers a unique perspective of women and motherhood in her film GOODBYE, VESNA, which has its premiere in Sarajevo.

Iz Grčke nam dolazi film NJENIM STOPAMA rediteljice Anastasije Katridi, koji naturalistički prikazuje ženu i njenu senzualnost u izuzetno brutalnom kontekstu. Austrijsko ostvarenje koje ćemo ove godine imati priliku vidjeti jeste i kratki film BOJNO POLJE Jannisa Lentza, dok nam Azerbejdžan nudi film o interesantnom odnosu dva glavna lika – VJENČANJE Teymura Gambarova. Hrvatski film ANTIOTPAD Tina Žanića priča je o brutalnosti u kojoj odrastaju mlađe generacije. Ono što nije neobično, pored sve raznovrsnosti, jeste da prevladavaju ženske teme. Čak pet filmova od cjelokupne selekcije potpisuju žene, dok su na još dva od deset filmova radile kao korediteljice. Sa čak 7 svjetskih premijera, 1 međunarodnom i 2 regionalne, Sarajevo Film Festival ponovo će predstaviti nove hrabre i svježe glasove regionalnih kinematografija.

Arriving from Greece is Anastasia Katridi’s IN HER STEPS, a naturalistic portrayal of a woman and her sensuality set in an extremely brutal context. Austria is represented by an outstanding short film by Jannis Lentz, BATTLEFIELD, and Azerbaijan by Teymur Gambarov’s WEDDING, about the beautiful and interesting relationship between the two main characters. Tin Žanic’s ANTIOTPAD, about the brutality of the world in which today’s youth are growing up, is the second Croatian film presented in the programme this year. The selection presents a variety of stories, but most of them are femaledriven, which should not come as a surprise. Women directed five and co-directed two films in the programme. With seven world premieres, one international and two regional premieres, the Sarajevo Film Festival once again introduces the brave new voices of regional film.

Nečiji auto je u plamenu. Nečija glava razbijena. Nečiji mobitel ukraden. Dok se nasilje u koncentričnim krugovima širi oko problematičnog zagrebačkog adolescenta, njegova tačka pucanja sve je bliža. Tin Žanić magistrirao je režiju na Nacionalnoj filmskoj i televizijskoj školi (NFTS) u Engleskoj uz podršku Hrvatskog audiovizualnog centra. Njegova prva dva kratkometražna filma KOMBA i MANJAČA osvojili su nagrade i posebna priznanja na prestižnim festivalima i filmskim marketima kao što su Međunarodni filmski festival u Rotterdamu, Međunarodni festival kratkometražnog filma u Clermont-Ferrandu, Tampere Film Festival, Sarajevo Film Festival, Međunarodni filmski festival u Hamburgu, Zagreb Film Festival i dr. E Somebody’s car is on fire. Somebody’s head got kicked in. Somebody got their mobile stolen. Will the troublesome adolescent break the vicious cycle of violence he may or may not have started himself? Tin Žanić graduated from the National Film and Television School with an MA in fiction directing as a Croatian Audiovisual Centre scholar. His first two short films, KOMBA and MANJAČA, won awards and special mentions, and were shown at various prestigious film festivals and television and film markets, such as the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the ClermontFerrand International Short Film Festival, the Tampere Film Festival, the Sarajevo Film Festival, the Hamburg International Film Festival and the Zagreb Film Festival, among others. 62 26.

Priča o životu unutar vojne baze, kao mikrokosmosa koji kao da pripada nekom drugom vremenu. Vojnici se posvećeno koncentrišu na baštovanstvo umjesto da se pripremaju za rat. Pogled na zamišljenu budućnost, kao iz snova, u kojoj vojne kasarne izgledaju poput dobro održavanih muzeja na otvorenom. Tenkovi su i dalje tu, kao eksponati iz prošlosti, tihi, ali upozoravajući. Neki od njih još uvijek rade. Jannis Lenz rođen je 1983. u Stuttgartu. Njegov prvi film SHADOWBOXER osvojio je nekoliko nagrada, uključujući nagradu za najbolji kratki igrani film na Festivalu austrijskog filma Diagonale. WANNABE, njegov diplomski film na Filmskoj akademiji u Beču, osvojio je EFA nagradu na Međunarodnom festivalu kratkog filma Clermont-Ferrand i nominaciju za nagradu Evropske filmske akademije za 2017. E A story of the inner life of a military base as a microcosm that seems to have been plucked out of another time. Soldiers focus meticulously on gardening instead of preparing themselves for war. A dreamlike look into an imaginary future, where barracks appear as well maintained open-air museums. The tanks remain as relics, silent but admonishing. Some of them still work. Jannis Lenz was born in 1983 in Stuttgart. SHADOWBOXER, his first film, won several awards, including the Best Short Fiction prize at the Diagonale-Festival of Austrian Film. WANNABE, his graduation film made at the Filmakademie Vienna, won the EFA Award at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, and was a nominee for the European Film Awards in 2017.

Petnaestogodišnja Ferah provodi ljeto u kući svoje bake na plaži u jednom malom lučkom gradu. Dok njena baka, bez zadrške, uživa u dnevnim televizijskim emisijama čiji učesnici pred kamerama pokušavaju pronaći partnera, Ferah žudi za seksualnim oslobođenjem. Osjeća gotovo opipljiv pritisak i konstantnu žudnju, a ljetni vjetar puše kroz sve otvore. Irmak Karasu je umjetnica i filmska autorica koja je stekla zvanje magistrice filmske i video umjetnosti na Institutu za umjetnost u Chicagu, a također je diplomirala film i televiziju, kao i psihologiju na Univerzitetu Bilgi u Istanbulu. Piše scenarije i pravi filmove, predstave i videoradove većinom usmjerene na čulni doživljaj odnosa sa prirodnim okruženjem i suptilno, ali ponekad i očigledno nasilje. E In a small port town, fifteen year-old Ferah is spending the summer at

her grandmother’s beach house. Her grandmother indulges in watching dating reality shows, while Ferah craves her own sexual release. The pressure is palpable, desire doesn’t abate, and the summer wind blows strong through every opening. Irmak Karasu is an artist and filmmaker who holds an MFA in film and video from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a dual BA in film and television and psychology from Istanbul Bilgi University. She writes and makes films, performances and videos, mostly formed from attention to the sensate reality of affect within landscapes of pressure and subtle, though sometimes overt, violence.

Desetogodišnja Emi i njena starija i trudna sestra Vesna odluče se provozati duž morske obale ne bi li se ponovo povezale nakon nedavne majčine smrti. Baš kao nekada na plaži, Emi iz zabave zakopava sestru u pijesak, no ovaj put to je samo rastužuje nakon što shvati da je izgubila majčinu naušnicu. Na povratku, Vesna se zaustavlja na zabavi kod jednog prijatelja. Čekajući je i posmatrajući iz auta, Emi shvata da će, ukoliko ih obje želi zaštititi, put do kuće morati pronaći sama. Sara Kern je scenaristica i rediteljica slovenskog i australskog porijekla s adresom prebivališta u Melbourneu.

E Ten-year-old Emi and her pregnant older sister Vesna go for a drive down the coast to try to reconnect following the recent death of their mother. At the beach, Emi buries her sister in the sand for fun, like in the old days. But this time it only evokes sadness as Emi realizes that she has lost her mum’s earring. On the way back, Vesna stops at a friend’s party. Watching from the car, waiting, Emi realises that to protect her sister and herself, she will have to find her way back home on her own. Sara Kern is a Slovenian-Australian writer and director based in Melbourne.

Taksista Rasim od svoga šefa dobija važan zadatak koji mora obaviti bez obzira na sve. Zadatak je da do zabačenog sela, na drugom kraju zemlje, dostavi vjenčanicu. Usput, Rasim poveze mladu ženu.

E An ordinary taxi driver, Rasim is assigned an important task by his boss, which must be completed at all costs – deliver a wedding dress to a remote village across the country. Along the way, Rasim picks up a young woman; they have almost nothing to talk about, but still there is something they can say to each other. Thus two different fates intersect on one road. Teymur Gambarov was born in 1986 in Baku. He studied at Baku State University’s Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Economic Cybernetics. His first short film, GUKHUROBA, won the European Short Pitch, which took place in Poznań, Poland.

Siguran susret / Inalienable Conference Kada sastavljate neku selekciju, neminovno se pitate kakve veze ona ima s današnjim trenutkom i šta reflektira, odnosno šta nam i na koji način sve te odabrane filmske priče govore o svijetu u kojem živimo.

Asja Krsmanović

Većina filmova u ovogodišnjoj selekciji nastala je prije izbijanja pandemije i nije ni produkcijski ni tematski ograničena datim okolnostima. U njima ćete vidjeti neke druge ljude, s nekim drugim pričama, koje nisu prestale postojati i nisu izgubile na značaju samo zato što su se promijenile okolnosti svijeta u kojem živimo. Čini se paradoksalno da je upravo ove godine, kada je filmska produkcija zastala zbog pandemije i kada smo očekivali mnogo manje prijavljenih filmova nego inače, selekcija Takmičarskog programa – studentski film najobimnija i čini je čak petnaest filmova nastalih na regionalnim filmskim školama, od toga deset svjetskih, tri međunarodne i dvije regionalne premijere. Tri su velike tematske cjeline koje definišu ovogodišnju selekciju. Prvu tematsku cjelinu čine filmovi koji se na potpuno različite načine bave odnosom između ličnog i političkog. Bilo da su u formi političke satire, dokumentovanja lične ratne tragedije, filmova u kojima se secira kult ličnosti ili ukazuje na obespravljenost migranata u savremenim evropskim društvima, ovi filmovi britki su i bolni komentari na različite aktuelne politike i njihovu refleksiju na svakodnevni život pojedinca. U nju spadaju animirani film SUŽANJ Igora Đurića s Akademije umjetnosti Banja Luka, dokumentarni filmovi B4 Alena Šimića s Akademije scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu i BEZ LICA Davida Lušičića s Akademije dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu, igrani filmovi PRESUDA U SLUČAJU K. Özgüra Anila s Filmske akademije u Beču i VELIKA DOSTIGNUĆA Nikole Vučinića s Fakulteta dramskih umjetnosti Crne Gore.

70 26. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – STUDENTSKI FILM

Svake godine, pa tako i ove, pojavi se u studentskoj selekciji značajan broj filmova čija su centralna tema porodica i porodični odnosi. Bilo da je u pitanju primarna ili sekundarna porodica, ili ono što autori definišu kao porodicu, ovi filmovi nude duboke i detaljne uvide u različite aspekte funkcionisanja ljudi u porodičnoj zajednici. MOJ TATA, KLOVN – dokumentarni film Sare Ristić s Akademije scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu i igrani filmovi PORODIČNI ODMOR Katarine Koljević s Fakulteta za dramske umetnosti Beograd, RIBE KAO MI Raphaele Schmidt s Filmske akademije u Beču i LOTOVA ŽENA Panagiotisa Stergianosa s Helenske škole za film i televiziju Stavrakos, nude zanimljiv spektar rediteljskih pristupa u tretiranju ove teme. Treću cjelinu ovogodišnje selekcije definira potreba za empatijom – onom koju traže likovi ili onom koju nude autori. Želja da se osjete, shvate ili prihvate stvari izvan svoje kože, da razriješe svoje moralne dileme, ili jednostavno pristanu na melanholiju trenutka, čine protagoniste ovih filmova sugovornicima koje često ne želimo, ali su nam potrebni kako bi osvijestili stanja s kojima se ne suočavamo tako rado. Pored dva animirana filma, CRVENA NIT Alexandre Fuscas s UNATC “I. L. Caragiale” iz Bukurešta i ZBOGOM, MALA ULICE! rediteljice Eve Darabos s univerziteta MOME u Budimpešti, te dokumentarnog filma KORIJENI Stefana Tomića s Akademije umjetnosti Banja Luka, u ovom bloku prikazat ćemo i tri igrana filma – ANJA redatelja Benyőa Baranija s Univerziteta za pozorišne i filmske umjetnostiu Budimpešti, VELIKA ISTANBULSKA DEPRESIJA rediteljice Zeynep Dilan Süren s univerziteta Kadir Has i ANGINA PECTORIS reditelja Filipa Mojzeša s Akademije dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Ovogodišnja selekcija omogućava svima da na trenutak pobjegnemo od neuhvatljivosti smisla naše naglo iščašene svakodnevnice i uronimo


u neke druge svjetove. Svjetove zaokružene i dovršene. Svjetove čiji nam je smisao lakše dokučiti. I dok bih se svake druge godine oštro bunila protiv toga da doživim umjetnost kao bijeg od realnosti, ove godine na to objeručke pristajem i s radošću se upuštam u to putovanje. Susret filma i gledatelja. Jedini siguran susret s drugim, u vrijeme kada su svi drugi susreti otežani ili onemogućeni. E When putting together a slate of films, one must consider how the selection relates to and reflects on the present moment – that is, what the films it includes tell us about the world we live in.

Most of the films in our 2020 selection were completed prior to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and thus were not constrained, either in terms of production or thematically, by the current state of our world. They will introduce you to people and stories that have not ceased to exist; neither have they diminished in importantance because our world has changed. It is something of a paradox that this year, when a pandemic has stopped film production in its tracks and when we expected significantly fewer submissions, the line-up of the Competition Programme – Student Film is more extensive than ever, with fifteen regional student films included, among them ten world premieres, three international and two regional premieres. The films that have been selected for the programme are clustered around three major themes. The first encompasses films that explore, in very different ways, the relationship between the personal and the political. Regardless of whether they resort to political satire, document their personal tragic experience of war, dissect per-

sonality cults or shed light on the denial of basic rights suffered by migrants in contemporary Europe, the auteurs of these films offer sharp and painful commentary on today’s political landscape and its impact on the lives of ordinary people. This group includes the animated film THRALL by Igor Đjurić from the Academy of Arts in Banja Luka; the documentaries B4, by Alen Šimić from the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo, and FACELESS by David Lušičić from the Academy of Drama Arts in Zagreb; as well as the fiction films THE VERDICT IN THE CASE OF K. by Özgür Anil from the Film Academy in Vienna and DEVELOPMENT by Nikola Vučinić from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Montenegro. As it has in all previous years, the selection includes a significant number of family-centred films. Whether they look at the traditional primary or secondary family or explore whatever they perceive as a family unit, the filmmakers in this group offer deep and detailed insights into different aspects of family life. MY DAD, THE CLOWN, a documentary by Sara Ristić from the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo, as well as the fiction films FAMILY VACATION by Katarina Koljević from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, FISH LIKE US by Raphaela Schmidt from the Film Academy in Vienna and LOT’S WIFE by Panagiotis Stergianos from the Hellenic Cinema and Television School Stavrakosm, introduce us to a variety of approaches to the theme of family relations. The third group of films explores the issue of empathy – either sought by the film’s protagonists or offered by the filmmakers. As a result of their urge to feel, understand or accept things outside their comfort zone, to resolve their moral dilemmas, or simply to embrace the melancholy of the present moment, the protagonists of these films are often people we customarily ignore, but we need them to shed light on im-

portant issues we are reluctant to confront. This segment of our lineup includes two animated films: THE RED STRING, by Alexandra Fuscaș, a recent graduate of the National University of Theatre and Film I.L. Caragiale in Bucharest; and BYE LITTLE BLOCK!, by Éva Darabos of the MOME University in Budapest. It also features the documentary THE ROOTS, by Stefan Tomić from the Academy of Arts in Banja Luka, as well as three fiction films: ANJA, by Benyo Barani from the University of Theatre and Film Arts in Budapest; THE GREAT ISTANBUL DEPRESSION, by Zeynep Dilan Süren, a post-graduate student of the Kadir Has University; and ANGINA PECTORIS, by Filip Mojzeš of the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. In our 2020 lineup everyone can find a short respite from the warped reality of our daily life and dive into numerous different worlds – worlds that are rounded and complete; worlds we can wrap our heads around more easily. While in the past I would have been the first to object strongly to looking to art for an escape from reality, this year I am all for it – and more than happy to get on with it. I am all ready for the inalienable conference between the art of film and its audiences, the only rendezvous we know for certain will not be cancelled, now that most other meetings have become extreme challenges or missions impossible.

Iako je prošlo dosta vremena otkako su diplomirale, Didem i Ayşe ne mogu naći posao. Nikako ne uspijevaju pronaći novac; niti se Didem može koncentrisati na pisanje niti Ayşe na crtanje. Na rubu metropole, njih dvije su zaglavile među neboderima koji zaklanjaju pogled s njihove terase i oronulih stambenih zgrada. Zeynep Dilan Süren rođena je 1994. u Kastamonu, Turska, a završila je srednju školu internatskog tipa Vefa. Diplomirala je na Odsjeku za film i televiziju Univerziteta Bahçeşehir, a trenutno pohađa master studij na Odsjeku za film i dramu Univerziteta Kadir Has. E Didem and Ayşe aren’t able to find jobs, even though it has been a while since they graduated from university. They cannot find a way to earn money; neither can Didem concentrate on writing nor Ayşe on drawing. At the edge of the metropolis, they are stuck between the skyscrapers rising amid the terrace of their home and the ruined apartment buildings. Zeynep Dilan Süren was born in 1994 in Kastamonu, Turkey, and attended Vefa High School as a boarding student. She is a graduate of Bahçeşehir University, Department of Cinema-Television. She continues her studies at Kadir Has University as a Masters student in the film and drama programme. 74 26. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – STUDENTSKI FILM

U sklopu neobičnog oproštajnog rituala brat i sestra se zatiču u jednom kineskom restoranu. Oboje se osjećaju krivim zbog nedavne majčine smrti i teško im je govoriti o tome. Za jednim od susjednih stolova otac popravlja domaću zadaću svoje kćerke, za drugim ljubavni sastanak kreće krivim tokom, a negdje između kragna konobara puca. Uprkos malom razmaku između stolova u restoranu, dvoje djece jedva da primjećuju dramatične situacije u svom okruženju. Raphaela Schmid rođena je 1990. u Linzu, Austrija.

U fokusu 2020. / In Focus 2020 Program U fokusu prateća je selekcija Takmičarskog programa koja ima za cilj da svake godine predstavi najznačajnije i najuspješnije regionalne filmove u posljednjih 12 mjeseci. Proteklih 6 mjeseci bili su izuzetno izazovni za svjetsku kinematografiju i nakon Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu gotovo da nije bilo premijere nijednog regionalnog filma. Upravo zbog toga, odlučili smo da obogatimo selekciju i omogućimo što većem broju reditelja i producenata da prikažu svoje filmove na Sarajevo Film Festivalu. Zbog datih okolnosti, smatramo da je važno podržati autore, regionalne kinematografije te filmove koji su tek počeli svoje festivalske živote. Shodno tome, ove godine donosimo rekordnih 10 naslova u ovoj selekciji. Kao i obično, program je mješavina filmova već etabliranih autora, ali i prostor za promociju debitanata kojih ove godine imamo tri. Iz Bosne i Hercegovine predstavit ćemo film PUN MJESEC reditelja Nermina Hamzagića, koji je krajem prošle godine prikazan na Festivalu autorskog filma u Beogradu te na Filmskom festivalu u Cottbusu, gdje je osvojio dvije nagrade. Film je uspješno prikazan i u kinima u Bosni i Hercegovini, a pokazao se kao blizak publici jer tematizira bosanskohercegovačku stvarnost kroz priču o policajcu koji mora provesti noć na dežuri u policijskoj stanici dok mu se supruga porađa u obližnjoj bolnici. Iz Srbije nam dolazi debitant Marko Đorđević sa filmom MOJ JUTARNJI SMEH koji je premijerno prikazan na Festivalu autorskog filma u Beogradu, ali i u jednoj od popratnih sekcija Filmskog festivala u Rotterdamu. Film je osvojio brojne nagrade, a apsolutni je favorit filmske kritike i smatra se jednim od većih iznenađenja godine. Kosovo je ove godine procvjetalo sa filmovima, osobito sa filmovima rediteljica te je logično da jedan baš takav film imamo i u programu U fokusu. Radi se o filmu ZANA debitantice Antonete Kastrati koji je premijerno prikazan na prošlogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu u Torontu. Ovaj film se bavi ženskim aspektom posljedica ratnih zbivanja na Kosovu, sa temom izgubljenog i nemogućeg majčinstva kroz priču o pritisku tradicije pogotovo na ženu.

82 26. Sarajevo Film Festival l U FOKUSU

Na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu u novom programu Encounters prikazana su dva filma koja su se našla u ovoj selekciji. Radi se o drugom igranom filmu Sandre Wollner iz Austrije NEVOLJA S ROĐENJEM, koji je jedan oblik naučne fantastike pomiješane sa visokim intelektualizmom i provokativnom temom koja graniči sa pedofilijom. Drugi film je MALMKROG, sada već kultnog rumunskog reditelja Cristija Puiua, u kojem također pratimo jednu notu intelektualizma, smještenog u epohu sa nevjerovatnim dijalozima, debatama i spektakularnom fotografijom. Oba filma su nagrađena u Berlinu – Specijalnu nagradu žirija odnijela je Wollner, dok je Puiu odnio nagradu za režiju. U programu Forum Filmskog festivala u Berlinu prikazan je izuzetni dokumentarni film VELIKA ŠTAMPANA SLOVA rumunskog reditelja i dobitnika Srca Sarajeva Radua Judea, a koji na izuzetno originalan i uzbudljiv način ponovo donosi priču o komunizmu u Rumuniji. Grčki reditelj Dimitris Bavellas predstavit će svoj film U NEOBIČNOJ POTRAZI ZA LAUROM DURAND, duhovitu priču o potrazi za nekada poznatom porno zvijezdom, a koji je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Tallinu te razvijan kroz CineLink koprodukcijski market. Rediteljica Agnes Kocsis vraća se u Sarajevo sa svojim trećim igranim filmom EDEN u kojem glavnu ulogu tumači hrvatska glumica Lana Barić, a koji je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu početkom ove godine. Poznati reditelj Milcho Manchevski vraća se u Sarajevo sa filmom VRBA u kojem pratimo priču o majčinstvu ili o nemogućnosti majčinstva, a hrvatski reditelj Ognjen Sviličić predstavit će svoj novi film GLAS, premijerno prikazanom na Filmskom festivalu u Pusanu, a u kojem jednu od glavnih uloga igra bosanskohercegovačka glumica Belma Salkunić. Program U fokusu ponovo će publici predstaviti svu pluralnost i raznovrsnost regionalne kinematografije sa filmovima koji su izvrsni, uzbudljivi i potpuno različiti u svakom pogledu.


E IN FOCUS is the sidebar section of the Sarajevo Film Festival’s official competition programme, dedicated to the most significant and successful films produced in our region over the past year. The past six months have been an extremely challenging period for filmmakers all over the world. Since the Berlin International Film Festival took place in February, there have been almost no premieres of new films from our region.

For that reason, we have decided to expand our selection to allow as many regional directors and producers as possible to present their recently completed films at the Sarajevo Film Festival. It was an important decision that supports regional filmmakers and allows their films to embark on the international film circuit in these difficult times. Consequently, this year, a record ten films will be presented in our section. As is the custom, the line-up is a mix of debut features, of which we have three this year, and films by well-established auteurs. Young Bosnian director Nermin Hamzagić presents his feature debut FULL MOON, which screened late last year at the Auteur Film Festival in Belgrade and at the Cottbus Film Festival, where it picked up two prizes. Hamzagić’s story, about a police officer who is forced to work while his wife is delivering their child in a nearby hospital, faithfully captured the reality of everyday life in Bosnia and became a box-office success in the country. From Serbia we welcome Marko Đorđević with his first fiction film MY MORNING LAUGHTER, which had its premieres at the Auteur Film Festival and in the main programme of the International Film Festival Rotterdam. The film earned critical acclaim and several prizes and is considered one of the most pleasant surprises of the year. Over the past year, Kosovo’s film industry has been experiencing a boom, especially when it comes to films by female directors, so it should come as no surprise that the country is represented in our 2020 programme by Antoneta Kastrati’s first dramatic feature, ZANA. Through the story of a woman struggling with her failure to conceive, the film, which first

screened at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, reflects on the effects on women of the recent Kosovo war and the social pressure they, in particular, endure to maintain traditional roles. Our line-up also includes two films that were premiered in Encounters, the Berlin International Film Festival’s newly established competitive section. The first is THE TROUBLE WITH BEING BORN, an intellectual sci-fi drama by second-time Austrian director Sandra Wollner that focuses on a highly provocative, borderline almost paedophiliac theme. The second is MALMKROG by awe-inspiring Romanian director Cristi Puiu – a spectacularly shot period drama packed with incredible dialogue and highly intellectual debates. Both films won awards in Berlin, with Wollner taking home the Special Jury Prize and Puiu winning the Best Director award. UPPER CASE PRINT, the exquisite documentary by Heart of Sarajevo winner Radu Jude of Romania, also screened at the Berlinale in the Forum section. It is an exceptionally original and exciting new account of state oppression in communist Romania. Greek director Dimitris Bavellas presents IN A STRANGE PURSUIT OF LAURA DURAND, a humorous film about the search for a former porn star that premiered at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and was developed through the CineLink co-production market. Agnes Kocsis returns to Sarajevo with her third dramatic feature, EDEN, starring Croatian actress Lana Barić, which had its premiere at this year’s International Film Festival Rotterdam. Celebrated director Milcho Manchevski also returns to Sarajevo with his film about motherhood – or, rather, the impossibility of motherhood – WILLOW, while Croatian director Ognjen Sviličić presents his latest film, THE VOICE, which had its premiere at the Busan International Film Festival and in which Bosnian actress Belma Salkunić takes one of the principal roles. The In Focus section once again displays the plurality and diversity of the regional film scene with its exceptional, exciting, and extraordinary films. Elma Tataragić Selektorica / Selector

Glas / The Voice Tinejdžer Goran završi u katoličkom internatu nakon što njegova majka ode raditi na kruzeru. Goran je tu silom prilika i odbija se moliti. U početku to previše ne smeta ni njegovim vršnjacima ni odgajateljima u domu, međutim, kako vrijeme odmiče, oni pokušavaju od njega da naprave vjernika na šta on ne pristaje. Suprostavlja im se pasivnim otporom, koliko god okolina vrši pritisak toliko svjedočimo koliko je jaka njegova volja da ne posustane, te se između njega i okoline stvara permanentna napetost koja na kraju rezultira čak i nasiljem. Ognjen Sviličić rođen je 1971. u Splitu, Hrvatska. Diplomirao je na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Godine 1999. režirao je svoj prvi dugometražni film DA MI JE BITI MORSKI PAS. Njegovi filmovi OPROSTI ZA KUNG-FU i ARMIN imali su svjetske premijere na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu u sklopu programa Forum, dok je film TAKVA SU PRAVILA svjetsku premijeru imao na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji u sklopu programa Orizzonti. Filmovi su otada prikazani na više od 50 međunarodnih filmskih festivala te osvojili brojna priznanja. Cijenjen kao filmski i televizijski scenarist te urednik scenarija i savjetnik, Sviličić također predaje scenaristiku na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. GLAS je premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Busanu. E Goran, a teenager, ends up in a Catholic boarding school because his mother has gone to work on a cruise ship. He has been forced to go to the school and refuses to pray. At first, this does not bother his peers or teachers too much, but as time goes by, despite his opposition, they start putting him under increased pressure to embrace religion. Goran resists passively, but, as the pressure grows, his determination becomes increasingly apparent and the tension between him and the others grows, before it finally erupts in violence.

Ognjen Sviličić was born in 1971 in Split, Croatia. He is a graduate of the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. In 1999, he directed his debut feature-length film, I WISH I WERE A SHARK. His subsequent features, SORRY FOR KUNG FU and ARMIN, had their premieres at the Berlin International Film Festival in the Forum section, while THESE ARE THE RULES had its world premiere in the Orizzonti section of the Venice Film Festival. The films have since been screened at more than 50 international film festivals and have won numerous awards. Sviličić is highly regarded for his work as a film and television scriptwriter, script editor and consultant, and teaches scriptwriting at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. THE VOICE was premiered at International Film Festival Busan.

I Anazitisi tis Laura Durand / U neobičnoj potrazi za Laurom Durand / In the Strange Pursuit of Laura Durand Prijatelji Antonis Titsanis i Christos Fertakis zajedno žive u malom stanu u Atini. U nevolji i izolovani od društva, uglavnom preživljavaju zahvaljujući Fertakisovoj naknadi za nezaposlene. Dvojicu prijatelja povezuje platonska ljubav prema Lauri Durand, slavnoj porno-glumici devedesetih godina 20. stoljeća, misteriozno nestaloj prije nekoliko godina. Kada njihov život od lošeg postane još gori, dvojica prijatelja odluče suprotstaviti se sudbini i krenuti u potragu za njom. Upadaju u pravu rock’n’roll Odiseju (tokom koje susreću lotofage, kiklope, penelope i druge), a filmski klišej postepeno preuzma tok priče. Dimitris Bavellas rođen je 1976. u Atini. Studirao je filmsku režiju u Filmskoj školi Stavrakos u Grčkoj, a zvanje magistra filma i produkcije pokretnih slika stekao je 2008. u Sjevernoj filmskoj školi u Leedsu u Velikoj Britaniji. Njegov debitantski igrani film DAN BIJEGA prikazan je na više od 40 festivala širom svijeta i osvojio je niz nagrada. U NEOBIČNOJ POTRAZI ZA LAUROM DURAND njegov je drugi igrani film, koji je premijeru imao na zvaničnoj takmičarskoj konkurenciji Filmskog festivala Crne noći u Tallinnu 2019. E Antonis Titsanis and Christos Fertakis are friends who live together in a small apartment in Athens. In distress and secluded from society, they survive mostly with Christos’s unemployment benefits. The friends are united by their common, platonic love interest for Laura Durand, a pornstar of the 1990s who disappeared mysteriously several years ago. When things go from bad to worse, the two friends decide to go up against their fate and start trying to track Laura down. At the same time, they are entering into a fully fledged, rock’n’roll Odyssey (including Lotus Eaters, Cyclops, Penelopes et al.) in which film clichés intervene and eventually take over the story.

Dimitris Bavellas was born in 1976 in Athens. He studied film directing at the Stavrakos Film School in Greece, and obtained his MA with distinction in film and moving image production from the Northern Film School in Leeds, UK. His debut feature RUNAWAY DAY had its world premiere in the Competition of the 19th Sarajevo International Film Festival, and was screened at more than 40 festivals around the world, receiving several awards along the way. IN THE STRANGE PURSUIT OF LAURA DURAND, his second feature-length film, had its premiere in the Official Competition of the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in 2019.

Malmkrog Nikolai, veliki zemljoposjednik i svjetski čovjek, svoje seosko imanje stavlja na raspolaganje prijateljima tako što organizuje druženja u prostranoj vlastelinskoj kući. Gosti, među kojima se nalaze političar, mlada grofica, te ruski general i njegova supruga, vrijeme provode uživajući u raskošnoj trpezi, društvenim igrama i dugim razgovorima o smrti i Antikristu, te progresu i moralu. Tokom razgovora koji postepeno poprima jasan tok, a u kojem se dotiču raznih tema, svako od gostiju izlaže vlastitu viziju svijeta, historije i religije. S prolaskom vremena, razgovor postaje žustriji, teme sve brojnije i ozbiljnije, a različite kulturne vrijednosti i stavovi gostiju očigledniji. S razlogom ili bez njega, gosti jedni druge čine sve napetijim, a razgovor sve težim. Konačno, zarobljeni u zamci vlastitih stavova i uvjereni da se historija nikada ne ponavlja, svi gosti propuštaju da shvate značaj događaja u kojem su nesvjesno zarobljeni. Cristi Puiu rođen je 1967. u Bukureštu. Studirao je film na Višoj školi vizuelnih umjetnosti – École Supérieure d’Arts Visuels – u Ženevi. Njegov prvi igrani film STVARI I TIJESTO uvršten je u program Quinzaine des Réalisateurs Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2001. i osvojio niz međunarodnih priznanja. Nakon što je 2004. godine s kratkim filmom CIGARETE I KAFA osvojio Zlatnog medvjeda na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, Puiu snima dugometražni film SMRT GOSPODINA LAZARESCUA, s kojim 2005. godine osvaja nagradu programa Un Certain Regard u Cannesu. Njegov film AURORA iz 2010. drugi je u seriji filmova pod zajedničkim imenom ŠEST PRIČA IZ PREDGRAĐA BUKUREŠTA. MALMKROG je premijerno prikazan u programu Encounters Filmskog festivala u Berlinu, gdje je osvojio Nagradu za najbolju režiju. E Nikolai, a large landowner and a man of the world, puts his country estate at the disposal of some friends, by organising a sojourn at the spacious manor house. For the guests, among whom we find a politician, a young countess, a Russian general and his wife, time passes at the manor with rich meals, society games and by engaging in a long discussion of death and the Antichrist, progress and morality. As the discussion gradually takes shape and the various topics are broached, each of them lays out their vision of the world, history and religion. The hours pass, the discussion becomes more heated, the topics become more and more serious, and differences in culture and viewpoint grow increasingly apparent. Whether for good reason or not, the guests end up exacerbating each other’s anxieties to the point that their conversation becomes sorely strained. Finally, falling into the snare of their own discourse and believing that history never repeats itself, none of them is able to realise the extent of the event in which they have unwittingly come to be trapped.

Cristi Puiu was born in 1967 Bucharest. He studied cinema at the École Supérieure d’Arts Visuels in Geneva in the 1990s. In 2001, he shot his first feature, STUFF AND DOUGH, which was selected for the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs section of the Festival de Cannesand went on to win several awards. After winning the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2004 for CIGARETTES AND COFFEE, Puiu then shot THE DEATH OF MR. LAZARESCU, which won the Prix Un Certain Regard at Cannes in 2005. His film AURORA from 2010 is the second episode of the SIX STORIES FROM THE OUTSKIRTS OF BUCHAREST. MALMKROG was premiered in Encounters programme of Berlin Film Festival where it won the Best Director Award.

Moj jutarnji smeh / My Morning Laughter Dejan će uskoro napuniti 30 godina, ali još uvijek je djevac. Pokušava potisnuti nemir koji osjeća jer živi pod istim krovom s ocem alkoholičarom i pretjerano zaštitnički raspoloženom majkom i otkriti da li s Kaćom, ugodnom ženom s kojom radi, može ostvariti nešto više od prijateljstva. Nakon što ga lokalni vidovnjak ponizi tokom jedne od svojih seansi, Dejan shvata da nema šta izgubiti. Osnažen tim iskustvom, svoj život pokušava učiniti bar podnošljivim. Marko Đorđević rođen je 1988. u Kragujevcu, Srbija. Tokom studija na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu snimio je nekoliko kratkih filmova, među kojima se ističe film NA DRUGOJ OBALI, koji je osvojio nagradu za najbolji srbijanski film u “Up to 10,000 Bucks” selekciji Međunarodnog filmskog festivala Cinema City. Đorđević je u međuvremenu usavršavao zanat, te je s glumcima koji su u projekat bili uključeni od početka, nakon pet godina konstantne borbe, brojnih verzija scenarija i puno odbačenih probnih snimaka, osjetio spremnost da snimi svoj prvi dugometražni igrani film, MOJ JUTARNJI SMEH. E At almost thirty, Dejan is still a virgin. He tries to suppress the turmoil he feels, which is caused by living under the same roof with his drunken father and overprotective mother, to see if he can actually go beyond mere friendship with Kaća, a nice woman he works with. After the local psychic humiliates him during a séance, Dejan realises he has nothing to lose. Empowered by this experience, he attempts to make his life at least bearable.

Marko Đorđević was born in 1988 in Kragujevac, Serbia. He made several short films while studying at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, the most significant of which was THE OTHER SHORE, which won the award for Best Serbian Film in the ’Up to 10,000 Bucks’ category at the Cinema City Festival. Since then, he has taken his time to hone his craft. After five years of constant struggle, numerous rewrites of the script and a lot of scrapped test footage, he and the actors who have been involved in the writing from the beginning, felt ready to make his feature-length directorial debut with MY MORNING LAUGHTER.

The Trouble with Being Born / Nevolja s rođenjem Elli je android i živi s muškarcem kojeg naziva ocem. Zajedno uživaju u ljetu. Tokom dana se kupaju u bazenu, a noću je on odvodi u krevet. Elli s njim dijeli njegove uspomene i sve drugo što je on programira da upamti. Uspomene koje njemu znače sve, a njoj ništa. Ipak, jedne noći ona se uputi u šumu prateći eho koji blijedi. Ovo je priča o jednoj mašini i duhovima koje svi nosimo u sebi. Sandra Wollner rođena je 1983. u Styriji, Austrija. Sa svojim prvim filmom THE IMPOSSIBLE PICTURE osvojila je Nagradu njemačkih filmskih kritičara 2019.

E Elli is an android who lives with a man she calls her father. Together, they drift through the summer. During the day they swim in the pool and at night he takes her to bed. She shares his memories and anything else he programs her to recall – memories that mean everything to him but nothing to her. Yet, one night she sets off into the woods following a fading echo. The story of a machine and the ghosts we all carry within us.

Tipografic Majuscul / Velika štampana slova / Uppercase Print Rumunija 1981. Komunističkom Rumunijom upravlja Nicolae Ceaușescu. Uz pomoć državne televizije, on piše službenu historiju. Svojim porukama protiv vladajućeg režima, koje kredom i velikim slovima piše po zidovima, šesnaestogodišnji Mugur Călinescu ispisuje drugačiju priču. Istina o njegovim aktivnostima sačuvana je u obimnom izvještaju tajne policije (Securitate) koja ga je pratila, uhapsila, ispitivala i uništila. Spajanje dvaju priča – tajne i javne, lične i kolektivne – trideset godina nakon pada komunističkog režima iz zaborava izvlači nepoznatog heroja. Radu Jude rumunski je reditelj i scenarist. Studirao je film u Bukureštu, a karijeru je počeo kao pomoćnik reditelja. Godine 2006. režirao je kratki film CIJEV SA ŠEŠIROM s kojim je osvojio preko 50 međunarodnih filmskih nagrada. Njegov debitantski dugometražni igrani film NAJSRETNIJA DJEVOJKA NA SVIJETU prikazan je na više od 50 međunarodnih filmskih festivala. Nakon njega snima filmove AFERIM!, RANJENA SRCA i SVI U NAŠOJ PORODICI s kojima osvaja brojne nagrade, uključujući Srebrenog medvjeda za najbolju režiju na festivalu u Berlinu 2015, Specijalnu nagradu žirija na festivalu u Locarnu 2016. i nominaciju za nagradu za najbolji scenarij Evropske filmske akademije. Njegov prvi dokumentarni film MRTVA NACIJA imao je međunarodnu premijeru u Locarnu 2017. S dugometražnim filmom NE ZANIMA ME AKO U HISTORIJI OSTANEMO UPAMĆENI KAO BARBARI osvojio je Kristalni globus za najbolji film i Europa Cinemas Label u Karlovym Varyma. Film VELIKA ŠTAMPANA SLOVA premijerno je prikazan u programu Forum Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. E Romania, 1981. Nicolae Ceauşescu is in office, leading a communist Romania. He writes the official story with the help of the National Television service. Sixteen-year-old Mugur Călinescu writes another story in chalk on walls, with messages of protest against the regime. His actions are compiled in a voluminous file kept by the Securitate (secret police), which observed, apprehended, interrogated and destroyed him. Linking both stories – the secret and the public, the personal and collective – brings to light an unknown hero thirty years after the fall of communism.

Radu Jude is a Romanian director and screenwriter. He studied filmmaking in Bucharest and started his career as an assistant director. In 2006, he made the short film THE TUBE WITH A HAT, winner of more than fifty international awards. Jude’s feature debut THE HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD was selected for more than fifty international film festivals. Titles such as AFERIM!, SCARRED HEARTS and EVERYBODY IN OUR FAMILY followed and won multiple awards, including the Silver Bear for Best Director from the Berlin International Film Festival, a Special Jury Prize from the Locarno Festival and an EFA nomination for Best Scriptwriter.

Vrba / Willow U srednjovjekovnoj Makedoniji bračni par bezuspješno pokušava dobiti dijete. Jedna starica im nudi pomoć, ali samo pod uslovom da joj daju svoje prvorođenče. Godinu dana nakon što dobiju dijete, starica ih posjećuje. Muškarca na ulici autom udara taksista. Hitna pomoć i komšije dođu i odu. Dok kiši, taksista sjedi sam na pločniku i čeka dolazak policije. Zapanjena njegovim poštenjem, Rodna mu donosi kišobran. Tri godine kasnije njih dvoje se vjenčaju, ali ne uspijevaju dobiti dijete sve dok se ne odluče za vantjelesnu oplodnju. Rodna zatrudni i nosi blizance, ali ispostavlja se da će jedno od djece biti deformisano. Svjesna da se njen muž protivi abortusu, Rodna je prisiljena donijeti tešku odluku. Njena sestra je usvojila petogodišnjeg dječaka. Dječak je iznimno inteligentan, ali ne govori. Jednog dana dječak nestane. Tri priče, tri neočekivane heroine. Milčo Mančevski rođen je 1959. u Skoplju. Njegov film PRIJE KIŠE bio je nominovan za Oskara, a osvojio je Zlatnog lava na Filmskom festivalu u Veneciji, kao i nagrade FIPRESCI i Independent Spirit te još 30 drugih priznanja. The New York Times uvrstio ga je na listu “1000 najboljih filmova ikada snimljenih”. Pored ovog, Mančevski je režirao i dugometražne filmove PRAŠINA, SJENKE, MAJKE, BIKINI MOON i VRBA, kao i 50 kratkih filmova i jednu epizodu slavne HBO serije ŽICA. Njegovi filmovi izučavaju se na brojnim univerzitetima i tema su mnogih eseja i knjiga. Mančevski ima počasni doktorat škole filma VGIK u Moskvi. Član je Američkog udruženja reditelja, Evropske filmske akademije i PEN kluba. Objavio je nekoliko knjiga fotografije, eseja i romana, a često i predaje na različitim obrazovnim institucijama. E A medieval couple in Macedonia cannot conceive. An old woman offers help – but only if they give her their firstborn. A year after they have a baby, she pays them a visit. A taxi driver hits a man in the street. The ambulance and neighbours come and go. Seated alone on the curb in the rain, he waits for the police. Taken with his honesty, Rodna brings him an umbrella. Three years later they are married, but can’t conceive – until they try in-vitro. She gets pregnant with twins, but it turns out one of the babies will be deformed. Knowing that he opposes abortion, she faces a tough choice. Rodna’s sister has adopted a five-year-old boy. He is very intelligent, but does not say a word. One day he goes missing. Three stories, three unlikely heroines.

AUDENTIA AWARD NOMINEE

Zana Albanka Lume sa suprugom Ilirom i svekrvom Remzijom živi u malom selu na Kosovu. Progonjena noćnim morama, u nemogućnosti da začne i rodi djecu, Lume je pod strašnim pritiskom svekrve Remzije da ispuni svoju bračnu dužnost. Svekrva joj prijeti da će, ukoliko ne zanese, morati pronaći i njenom sinu dovesti mlađu zamjenu. U strahu da će biti ostavljena, Lume odbacuje modernu medicinu i lijek za neplodnost odlučuje potražiti kod nadriljekara i vračeva. Njene seanse, prvo kod lokalnog ljekara, a zatim i kod slavnog (i skupog) TV nadriljekara, naizgled rezultiraju uspjehom jer Lume napokon ostaje u drugom stanju. Ali dok porodica slavi, Lumine dugo potisnute ratne traume isplivavaju na površinu i ponovo je počinju mučiti. Remzije i Ilir zaključuju da su Lume zaposjeli zli duhovi i da moraju biti iznimno pažljivi ako žele zaštititi nerođeno dijete. Antoneta Kastrati rođena je u Zahaqu, Kosovo. Nakon što je preživjela rat devedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća, sa sestrom Sevdijom počela je snimati dokumentarce o potisnutim temama postratnog društva. Režirala je više nagrađivanih dokumentaraca i kratkih narativnih filmova. Njen dokumentarac U POTRAZI ZA MAGIJOM istraživanje je o kosovskim nadriljekarima, a kratki film ONA DOLAZI U PROLJEĆE premijerno je prikazan na Busan Film Festivalu. ZANA, inače njen prvi dugometražni igrani film, premijeru je imao na Filmskom festivalu u Torontu i bio je zvanični predstavnik Kosova u takmičenju za Oskara za najbolji strani film 2019. E Lume, an Albanian woman, lives with her husband Ilir, and her mother-in-law, Remzije, in a small Kosovar village. Haunted by night terrors, childless and unable to conceive, Lume is relentlessly pressured by Remzije to fulfil her wifely duties – if Lume cannot give birth , her mother-in-law threatens, it will be Remzije’s responsibility to bring in a younger and more eager prospective wife for her son to consider. Bowing under the pressure of being replaced, Lume concedes and abandons modern medicine, seeking instead the help of witch doctors and mystic healers to treat her infertility. Lume’s appointments, first to a local witch doctor and then to a famed (and costly) televangelist-healer, seem to yield results as Lume finds herself pregnant at last. But while the family celebrates, Lume’s longsuppressed traumas from the war slowly rise to torment her again, convincing Remzije and Ilir that Lume is possessed by evil spirits, and that extreme caution must be taken to protect the unborn child.

Antoneta Kastrati was born in Zahaq, Kosovo. After surviving the war in the late 1990s, she began making documentary films with her sister, Sevdije, addressing unexplored issues of post-war society. She has directed a number of award-winning documentaries and narrative shorts. Kastrati’s documentary SEEKING MAGIC explored the real world of mystical healers in Kosovo. Her short SHE COMES IN SPRING premiered at the Busan International Film Festival. ZANA, Kastrati’s debut featurelength fiction film, had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and was Kosovo’s official entry for Best International Feature in the 92nd Academy Awards.

Dok Kosta Govoruša, izbjeglica iz Krajine, pokušava sa sestrom Kristinom nekako preživjeti baveći se krečenjem, Kosta Gajić mirno gradi političku karijeru u lijepom društvu svoje žene Zorice, inače direktorice marketinške agencije. Jedan razgovor za posao na koji dolazi Kristina, jedna marketinška ponuda Zorice Gajić i jedan čin nasilja u osiguravajućoj kući Astorija kod poznatog privatnika Mirka Kovača, nepovratno će spojiti sudbinu ta dva junaka. Priča o dvojici otuđenika koji, pogođeni traumom iz rata, ne mogu da se uklope u razoreno i korumpirano društvo. Svako na svoj način i svaki u svoje vrijeme, imat će svoju ličnu osvetu… Saša Hajduković rođen je 1984. u Banjoj Luci, gdje je diplomirao i magistrirao na Akademiji umjetnosti. Nagrađen je priznanjem za najboljeg režisera na Festivalu kratkometražnog filma Kratkofil u Banjoj Luci 2006. i na festivalu Cinema City u Novom Sadu 2010. Njegovi filmovi su izabrani i prikazani na mnogobrojnim svjetskim festivalima, uključujući Sarajevo Film Festival, Međunarodni filmski festival u Montrealu, Filmski festival Raindance u London, Motovunski filmski festival, i drugim. Danas predaje na Akademiji umjetnosti Univerziteta u Banjoj Luci. E Banja Luka, 2019. Kosta Govoruša, a war refugee from the Krajina region left with no one but his baby sister Kristina, does his best to make ends meet by painting houses. Meanwhile, Kosta Gajić patiently builds his political career accompanied by his beautiful wife Zorica, the CEO of a marketing agency. Three events – Kirstina’s job interview, Zorica’s marketing pitch and an act of violence at the headquarters of an insurance company run by well-known businessman Mirko Kovach – irreversibly intertwine the fates of the two Kostas. BONES is a story of two alienated men, both burdened with war trauma, who fail to fit in a devastated and corrupt society. Each in his own way, each in his own time, they will have their own revenge...

Saša Hajduković was born in 1984 in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, where he later obtained a Master’s degree from the Academy of Arts.

AVANTPREMIERE SERIES l 26. Sarajevo Film Festival 97


Močvara / Underneath U uzavrelom Beogradu manijak na izuzetno surov, ritualan način ubija tri žene. Žrtve spaja slobodouman stil života i to što su majke sinova. Sinova koji nemaju očeve. Djece koja odbijaju da govore. Serija prati inspektora Nikolu, bivšeg huligana, koji se mora suočiti sa svojom mračnom prošlošću i svim njenim tajnama kako bi otkrio manijakalnog ubicu. Što mu je bliži u istrazi, to je sigurniji da njega i ubicu nešto suštinski povezuje. Ovo je priča o grijehu i žudnji, o ljubavi i mržnji, i o prijateljstvu, koja počiva na zločinu i tajnama. Pored toga, ovo je priča o ljudima koji su istovremeno spasitelji i mučitelji, žrtve i dželati. Ovo je najzad i priča o jednom gradu koji lagano tone u močvaru svoje prošlosti. Oleg Novković rođen je 1968. u Beogradu. Studirao je filmsku i televizijsku režiju u klasi profesora Srđana Karanovića. Godine 1993, kada je premijerno prikazan njegov prvenac KAŽI ZAŠTO ME OSTAVI, s dvadeset pet godina postao je jedan od najmlađih debitanata u srpskoj kinematografiji, kao i prvi mladi autor koji se početkom devedesetih uhvatio u koštac s tragedijom svoga vremena i prostora. Njegova ostvarenja osvojila su brojne nagrade na lokalnim i međunarodnim festivalima, među kojima su i festivali u Cottbusu, Mannheimu, Moskvi i mnogim drugim. E In the hot city of Belgrade, a maniac kills three women in a very cruel and ritualistic manner. The victims are connected by their liberal lifestyle and the fact that they each leave behind sons – sons who do not have fathers and who refuse to speak. UNDERNEATH follows Inspector Nikola, a former hooligan, who is forced to face his dark past and all of its secrets in order to find the killer. The more he finds out about his target, the more certain he is that they are somehow connected. This is a story about sin and longing, love and hate, and about friendship that is forged in crime and secrets. Likewise, it is a story about people who are heroes and victims on the one hand but torturers and executioners on the other. A story about a city that slowly sinks deeper and deeper into its lurid past.

Oleg Novković was born in 1968 in Belgrade. He studied film and television directing at the Faculty of Drama Arts in Belgrade. In 1993, when his first film SAY WHY YOU LEFT ME premiered, at twenty-five, he became one of the youngest debutants in Serbian cinema, as well as the first young auteur to tackle the tragedy of the early 1990s in Yugoslavia. Novković’s films have won numerous awards at local and international festivals, including the Cottbus International Film Festival, the International Filmfestival Mannheim-Heidelberg, the Moscow International Fil Festival, and many others.

Jagten / Lov / The Hunt Nakon bolnog razvoda, četrdesetogodišnji Lucas pronašao je novu djevojku, novi posao i pokušava popraviti odnos sa svojim sinom, tinejdžerom Marcusom. Ali stvari krenu krivim tokom. Ništa ozbiljno. Samo usputni komentar. Pokoja laž. A kako pada snijeg i božićne lampice se pale, laž se širi poput nevidljivog virusa. Šok i nepovjerenje više se ne mogu kontrolisati i mala zajednica iznenada upada u stanje kolektivne histerije dok Lucas vodi usamljeničku bitku za vlastiti život i dostojanstvo. Thomas Vinterberg rođen je 1969. u Danskoj, gdje je i diplomirao na Državnoj školi za film. Uz Larsa von Triera, Sørena Kragh-Jacobsena i Kristiana Levringa bio je jedan od utemeljitelja filmskog pokreta Dogma 95. Njegovi kratki filmovi POSLJEDNJA TURA, koji je bio nominovan i za Oskara, i DJEČAK KOJI JE HODAO UNATRAG višestruko su nagrađivani na međunarodnim filmskim festivalima. Međunarodni proboj ostvario je filmom PROSLAVA, prvim filmom napravljenim prema pravilima pokreta Dogma, i osvojio Specijalnu nagradu žirija na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Vinterbergov film LOV osvojio je tri nagrade na festivalu u Cannesu, uključujući nagradu za najboljeg glumca dodijeljenu Madsu Mikkelsenu, te je nominovan i za nagradu Zlatni globus. Trine Dyrholm je osvojila Srebrenog medvjeda na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu za ulogu u Vinterbergovom filmu KOMUNA. E Following a tough divorce, forty-year-old Lucas has a new girlfriend and a new job, and is in the process of re-establishing his relationship with his teenage son Marcus. But things go awry. Not a lot. Just a passing remark. A random lie. And as the snow falls and the Christmas lights are lit, the lie spreads like an invisible virus. The shock and mistrust get out of hand, and the small community suddenly finds itself in a collective state of hysteria, while Lucas fights a lonely fight for his life and dignity.

Thomas Vinterberg was born in Denmark in 1969 and graduated from the National Film School of Denmark. He was, together with Lars von Trier, Søren Kragh-Jacobsen and Kristian Levring, one of the four original Dogme brothers. He has received a score of awards from international festivals for his short films, the Academy Award-nominated LAST ROUND and THE BOY WHO WALKED BACKWARDS. Vinterberg’s international breakthrough THE CELEBRATION, the first released film that adheres to Dogme rules, won the Special Prize of the Jury at the Festival de Cannes. His THE HUNT won three awards at Cannes, including Best Actor for Mads Mikkelsen’s performance, and was nominated for a Golden Globe. THE COMMUNE won a Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival for Trine Dyrholm’s performance.

Koncentriši se, baba / Focus, Grandma U aprilu 1992. godine, brojna se porodica, razbacana po cijeloj Jugoslaviji, okuplja u Sarajevu oko odra stare majke. Baba nije dobro, ali se prognoza porodičnog ljekara da je njena smrt pitanje minuta, pretvara u sate, pa onda dane. Počinju spletke, prevare i trvenja oko nasljedstva koje će ostati iza starice, a naročito oko velike porodične kuće u Sarajevu. Baba i posljednim uzdasima svojski učestvuje u tome, a možda je upravo to i održava u životu. Intrige i spletkarenje na štetu jedne od sestara ovoj porodici su važnije od jasnih, zastrašujućih znakova nadolazeće kataklizme. Kada je, na koncu, prevara otkrivena, već je kasno. Pjer Žalica rođen je 1964. u Sarajevu. Diplomirao je 1995. na Odsjeku za režiju na Akademiji scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu, gdje danas radi kao profesor režije. Tokom rata u Sarajevu bio je aktivni član Sarajevske grupe autora (SaGA) praveći brojne dokumentarne filmove o ratu i opsadi Sarajeva. Film MGM SARAJEVO osvojio je nagradu programa Quinzaine de Realisateurs Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 1994. MGM SARAJEVO kao i njegov kratki film KRAJ DOBA NEPRIJATNOSTI prikazani su na najznačajnijim filmskim festivalima širom svijeta, između ostalih u Cannesu, Montrealu, Londonu, Rimu, Rotterdamu, Göteborgu i Sarajevu. Dobitnik je brojnih nagrada za svoj rad poput nagrade Evropske filmske akademije za dokumentarni film 1994. i dr. Godine 2003. završio je svoj prvi igrani film GORI VATRA za koji je nagrađen Srebrenim leopardom na Locarno Film Festivalu, nagradom za najbolji regionalni film na Sarajevo Film Festivalu, Specijalnom nagradom žirija na Zagreb Film Festivalu itd. Više od 300 000 gledalaca vidjelo je njegov prvenac u Bosni i Hercegovini. E April 1992. Members of a large family strewn around the former Yugoslavia gather around the death bed of their elderly matriarch. She is not well, but the forecast of a family doctor that her death is a matter of minutes away proves incorrect, so the waiting stretches out for days. Relatives start bickering, playing tricks and arguing over the inheritance to be left by the old woman, especially over her large family house in Sarajevo. Despite her deteriorating health, Grandma happily joins the fray. It appears as if that might be what is keeping her alive. Family feuds and intrigues directed against one of the sisters are more important to the family than the clear, terrifying signs of an approaching cataclysm. When the scheming is finally revealed, it is too late.

Pjer Žalica was born in 1964 in Sarajevo. In 1995, he graduated in directing from the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo, where he currently works as a professor of directing.

Otac / Father OTAC je priča o čovjeku kojem oduzimaju djecu zbog njegovog siromaštva. To je priča o gubitniku, otpadniku i poniženom čovjeku koji – kroz svoje putovanje pješke od sela na jugu Srbije do prijestolnice, s jednog kraja zemlje na drugi, iz protesta, dostojanstva i želje da se dokaže sebi i drugima, iz očaja – postaje heroj. Srdan Golubović rođen je 1972. u Beogradu. Studirao je filmsku režiju na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu. Njegov prvi igrani film APSOLUTNIH STO učestvovao je u glavnim programima na više od 30 međunarodnih filmskih festivala, između ostalih u San Sebastianu, Torontu, Solunu, Cottbusu, Rotterdamu i Busanu. Film je osvojio 10 međunarodnih i 19 domaćih nagrada. Njegov drugi igrani film KLOPKA svjetsku premijeru je imao na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, te je osvojio 23 međunarodne filmske nagrade. Treći igrani film KRUGOVI svjetsku premijeru imao je u međunarodnom takmičarskom programu Sundance Film Festivala 2013, gde je osvojio Specijalno priznanje žirija. Evropska premijera filma održana je na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu i nagrađen je priznanjem Ekumenskog žirija. Golubović radi kao vanredni profesor na Katedri za filmsku režiju na FDU u Beogradu. E FATHER is a story of a man who has his children taken away from him because of his poverty. It’s a story about a loser, a cast-out and humiliated man who – through his journey, walking from his village in the south of Serbia to the capital, from one end of the country to the other, out of protest, dignity and his wish to make a point to himself and others, out of desperation – becomes a hero.

Srdan Golubović was born in 1972 in Belgrade. He studied film directing at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade. His first feature film, ABSOLUTE HUNDRED, participated in the main programs of more than thirty international film festivals, including those of San Sebastián, Toronto, Thessaloniki, Cottbus, Rotterdam, and Busan, winning ten international and nineteen local awards.

Pinocchio Dosljedna filmska adaptacija čuvene bajke o drvenom lutku koji oživi zahvaljujući želji siromašnog, usamljenog drvodjelje. Kao i svako dijete, Pinocchio je radoznao i uči o životu na osnovu vlastitih grešaka. Zahvaljujući urođenoj djetinjoj hrabrosti postaje ono što bi trebao biti. Collodi je napisao “Pinocchijeve avanture” krajem 19. stoljeća, ali njegova priča o drvenom dječaku danas je jednako aktuelna kao i u vrijeme kada je nastala, iako se svijet danas naizgled razvija u sasvim drugačijem pravcu. Matteo Garrone u Pinocchijev svijet unosi vizionarski duh koji je, kao i u knjizi, prilično sveobuhvatan. Njegov Pinocchio kreće se u svijetu koji je istovremeno stvaran i nestvaran, seoski, bezvremen, pa ipak očigledno smješten u Italiji bogatoj zemljom, morem i farmama. Gledaoci će, bez sumnje, pronaći vlastite miljenike među likovima koje Pinocchio upoznaje na svome putu, a koji ga upoznaju sa prirodom, svijetom životinja i mašte. Matteo Garrone rođen je 1968. u Rimu. Karijeru je počeo kao filmski snimatelj, da bi se 1996. posvetio pisanju scenarija i režiji. Dvaput je osvojio Grand Prix žirija na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu s filmovima GOMORRA i STVARNOST. Njegov epski film PRIČA NAD PRIČAMA 2015. je prikazan na brojnim festivalima, dok je s filmom DOGMAN, premijerno prikazanim u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2018, osvojio nagradu za najboljeg glavnog glumca “Marcello Fonte“ za ulogu koju je upravo on odigrao. E A faithful adaptation of the famous story of the wooden puppet that is brought to life at the behest of a poor, lonely woodcarver. Like any child, Pinocchio is curious about the world and learns by trial and error. Possessed of a child’s inherent courage, he becomes who he is meant to be. Collodi wrote “Pinocchio’s Adventures” in the late 19th century, but his character is as relevant as ever – even though the world seems to be moving in the opposite direction. Matteo Garrone bestows Pinocchio’s world with a visionary dimension that, like the book, has a broad sweep. His Pinocchio moves in a realm that is simultaneously real and fantastic; this is a rural, timeless and yet unmistakable Italy that is redolent of the earth, the sea and the farmyard. Viewers will certainly find their favourite among the characters Pinocchio encounters on his journey, who bring him face-to-face with nature, the animal kingdom and the world of the imagination.

Matteo Garrone was born in 1968 in Rome. In his film career, he began as a cinematographer before turning to writing and directing in 1996. He has twice won the Grand Prize of the Jury at the Festival de Cannes, for GOMORRA and REALITY. His epic fantasy TALE OF TALES screened at numerous festivals in 2015. His most recent film, DOGMAN, had its premiere in the Official Competition at Cannes in 2018 and won the Marcello Fonte Best Actor Award for Garrone’s performance in the lead.

Police / Noćna smjena / Night Shift Virginie, Erik i Aristide su policajci. Sve troje pokušavaju držati svoje lične i emotivne živote na okupu dok se svakodnevno susreću s nasiljem na ulicama i u tuđim domovima. Jedne noći dodjeljuju im neobičan zadatak: da jednog migranta, zbog nepoznatih razloga, odvezu na aerodrom. Tokom vožnje Virginie saznaje da će muškarac, u slučaja povratka u domovinu, biti osuđen na smrt. Suočena s nepodnošljivom dilemom, ona počinje preispitivati dodijeljeni zadatak. Trojka ima samo jednu noć da odluči o muškarčevoj sudbini. Anne Fontaine rođena je 1959. u Luksemburgu.

Small Town Wisconsin / Provincijalni Wisconsin Wayne Stobierski, uvijek spreman za dobar provod i šalu, najzabavniji je stanovnik Rhinelandera u Wisconsinu (7798 stanovnika). Ako sumnjate, slobodno pitajte njegovog najdražeg partnera u provodu Tylera koji sa njim prolazi kroz sve i uživa u svakom trenutku. Međutim, postoji jedan problem. Naime, Tyler je Waynov devetogodišnji sin. Kada Wayne dobije bolnu vijest da je izgubio zajedničko starateljstvo nad dječakom, kao i da će njegov voljeni prijatelj uskoro odseliti daleko od njega, planira poseban vikend za svoga sina po kojem će ga dječak upamtiti. Plan je da otputuju u veliki grad o kojem su oduvijek sanjali – Milwaukee, Wisconsin (592 025 stanovnika). Kada se Wayne obeznani od alkohola, prije nego što pronađe hotelsku sobu za sebe i svoga sina, njegov najbolji prijatelj i pratitelj Chuck odluči ih odvesti kod Waynove otuđene sestre Alicije. Kada se probudi, Wayne nije ni najmanje sretan što se zatekao usred neplaniranog porodičnog okupljanja. Ali porodica, bolje nego bilo ko drugi, čovjeku može pomoći da pronađe nešto dobro u bolnom iskustvu. Okružen ljubavlju – djelimično grubom, ali uvijek iskrenom – Wayne je prisiljen suočiti se s ličnim demonima dok sinu pruža najbolji provod u životu. Niels Mueller rođen je i odrastao u Milwaukeeju. Nagrađivani je scenarist i reditelj, čiji su filmovi uspješno predstavljeni na prestižnim filmskim festivalima širom svijeta.

E Wayne Stobierski is the most fun-loving, hardest-living party animal in Rhinelander, Wisconsin (population 7,798). Just ask his favourite wingman, Tyler, who’s seen it all, lived it all, loved it all. Only problem? Tyler is Wayne’s nine-year-old son. When Wayne learns the devastating news that he is losing shared custody and that his beloved wingman will be moving far away, he plans a special weekend for his son to remember him by – a trip to the big city of their dreams: Milwaukee, Wisconsin (population 592,025). When Wayne passes out drunk before he can find a hotel room, his best friend and chaperone, Chuck, decides to take the gang to Wayne’s estranged sister Alicia’s house. Wayne is none too happy to wake up and find himself in the middle of an unscheduled family reunion. But there’s nothing quite like family to help find levity in heartache. Surrounded by love – some of it tough, all of it genuine – Wayne finds himself facing down his demons, all the while showing his son the most spectacular time of his life.

Niels Mueller was born and raised in Milwaukee. He is an award-winning writer and director whose films have premiered to great acclaim at the most prestigious film festivals in the world.

Tu te souviendras de moi / Sjetit ćeš me se / You Will Remember Me Edouard, javna ličnost i penzionisani nastavnik historije, polako gubi pamćenje. Naviknut da javno govori, iznenada je prisiljen da priča što manje, iako smatra da još uvijek ima puno toga za reći. Osim toga, budući da nema nikoga ko bi se mogao brinuti o njemu, predaju ga na staranje mladoj, ali pomalo buntovnoj i izgubljenoj Bérénice. Njihov susret natjerat će Edouarda da se prisjeti poglavlja iz svog života koje je svjesno potisnuo u zaborav, a Bérénice da pronađe smisao u svome životu. Eric Tessier rođen je 1966. u Quebecu. Svoj prvi kratki film, na kojem je naporno radio pune tri godine i snimio ga Super-8 kamerom, završio je već sa 13 godina. Kratko je studirao na Odsjeku za film Univerziteta Concordia, a zatim se posvetio videoprodukciji i reklamama, te je 1998. režirao kratki film VIENS DEHORS! nagrađen na Fantasia Film Festivalu. Svoj prvi dugometražni film SUR LE SEUIL snimio je 2003, a film je postao najpopularniji triler u historiji Quebeca. Tessier 2009. snima dugometražni film 5150 RUE DES ORMES. Iako često radi za televiziju, našao je vremena da 2012. režira popularni film PEE-WEE 3D: SUDBONOSNA ZIMA. E Édouard, a public figure and retired history teacher, is slowly starting to lose his memory. Accustomed to speaking out and taking a stand on all topics, he must make himself more discreet, even if he believes he still has a lot to say. Further, since no one can watch over him, he is placed in the care of Bérénice, a young girl who is a little rebellious and lost. Their meeting will lead Édouard to revisit a chapter from his personal history that he had chosen to forget, and Bérénice to find meaning in her life.

Eric Tessier was born in 1966 in Quebec, Canada. At the age of thirteen, he shot and directed his first short film in Super-8, which required three years of perseverance. After a stint in Concordia University’s film programme, he explored video and advertising and, in 1998, directed the short film VIENS DEHORS!, which won an award at the Fantasia Film Festival. In 2003, he signed SUR LE SEUIL, his first feature-length film and the most popular thriller in Quebec history. In 2009, he directed the feature film 5150 RUE DES ORMES. Active in television as well, Tessier found time to develop and direct the popular THE PEE-WEE 3D: THE WINTER THAT CHANGED MY LIFE in 2012.

Uvod / Introduction Ova godina drugačija je od svih prethodnih. Pa ipak slavimo kontinuiranu predanost organizatora Sarajevo Film Festivala, sarajevskih ljubitelja filma, i njihove napore da pripreme program koji će odražavati društvene i filmske trendove, ali i okolnosti bez presedana. Kinoscope će ugostiti filmove iz svih krajeva svijeta i s gotovo svih kontinenata: azijski, afrički, evropski i američki film dobro su zastupljeni u našem programu. Filmovi koje su režirale žene s lakoćom čine polovinu naše selekcije.

Kinoscope Real donosi nam dva filma koja propituju odnos između kamere i rata: ATLANTIS, koji je na Filmskom festivalu u Veneciji osvojio nagradu Orizzonti, te ZEMLJA JE PLAVA POPUT NARANDŽE. Radnja oba filma smještena je u Ukrajini, ali njihove snažne poruke nadilaze državne granice. Osim pecanja na zaleđenim jezerima, babuški i votke, Rusija ima još jednu osobenost: stanove u garažama. U par kvadratnih metara, ruski muškarci za sebe, preduzimljivo i predano, prave alternativni životni prostor, prema vlastitom ukusu i ne obazirući se na uobičajena pravila, što je tema filma GARAŽNI LJUDI. LOS CONDUCTOS Camila Restrepa, najbolje debitantsko ostvarenje na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, radnjom smješten u kolumbijski Medellín, eksperimentalni je portret mladića u bijegu od pripadnika jednog opasnog kulta. S drugog kraja zemaljske kugle, i života, dolazi nam film OVO NIJE SAHRANA, OVO JE USKRSNUĆE – oda načinu života koji je u opasnosti da nestane u ime napretka, a koja gledaoca uvodi u svijet u kojem mrtvi koegzistiraju sa živima.

Kinoscope svojoj publici nastoji predstaviti duboke filmove o različitim društvenim zajednicama i njihovom otporu. Neki od njih su razigrani, poput francuske komedije A L’ABORDAGE, otkrića ovogodišnjeg Berlinalea, a drugi obilježeni duhom magijskog realizma, poput filma GAGARIN – prikazanog u zvaničnoj takmičarskoj konkurenciji ovogodišnjeg Cannesa. KRVNE VEZE, uzbudljivi noir film smješten u Danskoj, priča je o dobrostojećoj mafijaškoj porodici kojom upravlja svemoguća majka tri sina. Film ASISTENTKINJA, koji njegova rediteljica Kitty Green opisuje kao “tihi film s temom koja glasno odjekuje”, donosi užasnu priču o jednoj filmskoj produkcijskoj kompaniji u #metoo eri i Juliju Garner u glavnoj ulozi. Posljednji film Honga Sangsooa, ŽENA KOJA JE TRČALA, nedavno prikazan u glavnom takmičarskom programu Berlinalea, šarmantan je osvrt na pametne žene koje moraju izlaziti na kraj s iritantnim muškarcima. Kinoscope Surreal ove godine predstavlja fantastičan izbor filmova, u žanrovskom rasponu od fantazije do trilera! Tri filma problematiziraju nepouzdanost čulne percepcije. Intrigantna fantazija ST. MAUD, britanske rediteljice Rose Glass, donosi nam priču o medicinskoj sestri opsjednutoj svojom pacijenticom. U trećem filmu Josephine Decker – SHIRLEY – Elizabeth Moss utjelovljuje istoimenu glavnu junakinju. Radi se o senzualnom filmskom osvrtu na probleme i inspiraciju književnika. U izvrsnom debitantskom filmu RELIKT rediteljica i koscenaristica Natalie Erika James postepeno pojačava napetost i fantastično oblikovanu


užasavajuću atmosferu. S festivala SXSW dolazi nam film LAPSIS o sumornoj budućnosti u kojoj su svi poslovi privremeni, niko nije gospodar vlastite sudbine, a svijetom hara čudna, naizgled neizlječiva bolest. O vremenu zrelom za pobunu i zajedničku borbu ljudi protiv gospodara njihovih života i robota. Za kraj: sitni gangsteri, prevrtljive žene zmajevi, nijemi majstor tetovaže, propalice koje se pokušavaju obogatiti za kratko vrijeme i jedan smiješni detektiv čine film ZVIJERI KOJE SE HVATAJU ZA SLAMKE iskustvom koje ne smijete propustiti. E This year is a year like no other. Still, we celebrate the Sarajevo Film Festival’s continued engagement of the film lovers of Sarajevo in its efforts to build a programme that reflects cinematic and societal trends as well as atemporal mise-en-scène. Kinoscope is home to the world, with films coming from almost all continents: Asia, Africa, Europe, America are well represented. Films directed by women filmmakers effortlessly compose almost half of our selection.

In Kinoscope Real, ATLANTIS, winner of the Orizzonti Award at the Venice Film Festival, and THE EARTH IS BLUE AS AN ORANGE both recount the relationship between the camera and war. Both are set in Ukraine but their powerful reflections go beyond borders. In Russia, there is a phenomenon beyond ice-fishing, matryoshkas and vodka: the garage settlement. Within a few square metres, men create alternative living

spaces with ingenuity and tenacity, according to their own taste and beyond any rules, which GARAGE PEOPLE explores. Winner of the Best First Feature honour at the Berlin International Film Festival, Camilo Restrepo’s LOS CONDUCTOS is an experimental portrait of a young man on the run from a dangerous cult set in Medellín, Colombia. On the other side of the globe and the other side of life, THIS IS NOT A BURIAL, IT’S A RESURRECTION is an ode to a way of life perhaps soon to disappear in the name of progress and guides us through a world where the dead co-exist with the living. Kinoscope engages audiences with profound features reflecting on communities and resistance. Some have a lighter tone, like the French comedy À L’ABORDAGE, discovered at the latest Berlinale, and some are suffused with magical realism, like GAGARINE, part of the Official Selection at the Festival de Cannes this year. WILDLAND, a thrilling noir set in Denmark, portrays a prosperous mafia family run by an all-powerful mother of three sons. As director Kitty Green puts it, THE ASSISTANT “is a quiet film with a loud subject.” Julia Garner stars as the main protagonist of this terrible account of a film production company in the #metoo era. THE WOMAN WHO RAN, Hong Sangsoo’s latest film, was presented in the Competition at the recent Berlinale, and is a charming look at smart women dealing with annoying men.

perception of the senses. A nurse’s fascination for her patient forms a toxic duo in SAINT MAUD, an intriguing entry in the fantasy genre by British filmmaker Rose Glass. Josephine Decker’s third film features Elizabeth Moss playing the main character of SHIRLEY, a sensuous feature that also reflects on the difficulties and inspirations of creative writing. RELIC ratchets up its slow building tension in an expertly crafted atmosphere of dread, adding up to an outstanding feature debut for director and cowriter Natalie Erika James. From SXSW, LAPSIS sets a dystopian future in which a strange illness seems incurable, in which all jobs are freelance and nobody can control their fate. Time for rebellion through union, rebellion against bosses and robots. Cheap gangsters, duplicitous dragon ladies, a mute tattooed assassin, get-rich-quick schlubs looking to score and a comical detective: all of this makes BEASTS CLAWING AT STRAWS a must watch.

A l’abordage! Jedne tople ljetne večeri u Parizu Félix slučajno upoznaje Almu. Smiju se, plešu i zajedno provode noć u parku. Ali ubrzo se moraju rastati jer ona odlazi na odmor sa svojom porodicom. Félix impulsivno odluči da je iznenadi na odmoru, a u avanturu uključuje i svog prijatelja. Dijele prevoz s jednim mladićem kojeg također upliću u svoj poduhvat.

Gagarine / Gagarin Šesnaestogodišnji Yuri živi u Gagarinovim tornjevima, velikim crvenim zgradama od cigle na periferiji Pariza. Sanja da postane astronaut. Kada se pročuje za planove rušenja Gagarinovih tornjeva, Yuri se pridružuje otporu i zajedno sa svojim prijateljima upušta se u misiju spašavanja sopstvenog doma, koji za njega postaje „zvjezdani brod” – prije nego što zauvijek nestane u svemiru. Fanny Liatard i Jérémy Trouilh zajedno su studirali političke nauke u Bordeauxu prije nego što su snimili svoj prvi film. Prilikom putovanja i upoznavanja s ljudima odlučili su okrenuti se filmu. Osamnaest mjeseci nakon ovog nevjerovatnog iskustva sreli su se u Parizu sa željom da napišu i režiraju igrano ostvarenje. Godine 2014. pobijedili su na takmičenju pisanja scenarija što im je omogućilo da naprave svoj prvi kratki film GAGARIN, koji je potom prikazan na brojnim festivalima kao što su Message to Man, Flickerfest i Sundance Channel. E Sixteen-year-old Yuri has lived his whole life in Gagarin Towers, a vast red-brick housing project on the outskirts of Paris. He dreams of becoming an astronaut. When plans to demolish Gagarin Towers are leaked, Yuri joins the resistance. With his friends Diana and Houssam, he embarks on a mission to save their home – which has become his “starship” – before it disappears into space forever.

Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh studied at the School of Political Science in Bordeaux, before making their first film together. They switched from poli-sci to filmmaking through travelling and meeting people who made the dream more accessible. Eighteen months after these various experiences, they met up in Paris with the shared desire to write and direct fiction films. In 2014, they won a screenwriting contest that allowed them to make their first short, GAGARIN, which screened at numerous festivals, such are Message to Man and Flickerfest, as well as on the Sundance Channel.

Garagenvolk / Garažni ljudi / Garage People Daleki sjever Rusije negostoljubiv je predio gdje zima nikada ne završava, a svježi snijeg brzo prekriva industrijska prljavština. Tu, na rubu grada u kojem je rudarska kompanija jedini poslodavac, nizovi garaža protežu se unedogled. Iza njihovih zahrđalih vrata moguće je pronaći bilo šta, izuzev auta. Te garaže utočište su ruskih muškaraca koji svoju inventivnost i vještine koriste da njihovih par metara kvadratnih prostora pretvore u alternativno mjesto za život. Svaka garaža mjesto je samoostvarenja, prostor koji čuva velike snove i nudi odmor od teškog života u Arktičkom krugu. Ilja, sakupljač metalnog otpada, svoju garažu je pretvorio u radionicu, Roman u svojoj uzgaja golubove, a Pavel rezbari figurice svetaca. Članovi rok-benda u svojoj garaži održavaju probe, a Viktor je nakon decenija rada svoju proširio, iskopavši četiri podzemna nivoa. Svaka garaža odražava žudnje, strahove i strasti svoga vlasnika. Zajedno tvore mikrokosmos u kojem obitava skriveni dio društva i u kojem ima prostora i za smijeh. Natalija Yefimkina rođena je 1983. u Kijevu. Nakon studija historije i književnosti u Berlinu, radila je kao pomoćnica reditelja i asistentica produkcije na brojnim igranim filmovima. Režirala je nekoliko kratkih dokumentarnih filmova, a GARAŽNI LJUDI njen je prvi dugometražni dokumentarac. E Russia’s Far North is an inhospitable region where winter never seems to end and fresh snow is soon covered by the black soot of industry. Here, on the edge of a city where a mining company is the sole employer, garages seem to stretch out into infinity. Behind their rusty doors you can find just about anything – except a car. These boltholes are the refuge of the Russian man. Within a few square metres, he can devote his inventive talent and tenacity to creating an alternative living space. Each garage is a place for self-fulfillment, containing big dreams and a respite from the dreariness of everyday life inside the Arctic Circle. Scrap collector Ilja uses his garage as a workshop; Roman breeds quail in his; Pavel carves figures of saints. Two soldiers on manoeuvres nearby use theirs to store equipment. The garage belonging to a rock band serves as a rehearsal room whereas, in a decadeslong effort, Viktor has extended his by adding four underground levels. Each of these spaces provides an insight into the longings, anxieties and passions of their owners. Together, they form a microcosm that reveals a hidden part of society in which there is also room for humour.

Lapsis U paralelnoj stvarnosti dostavljač Ray Tincelli muči se da izdržava sebe i svoga bolešljivog mlađeg brata. Nakon niza sitnih prevara i neuspješnih obmana Ray prihvata posao u čudnom novom svijetu honorarne ekonomije. Odlazi duboko u šumu kako bi razvlačio kilometarske kablove za spajanje velikih, metalnih kocki koje povezuju novo tržište kvantova. Kako zalazi dublje u zonu rada, nailazi na sve veće neprijateljstvo i rastuću prijetnju robotiziranih polagača kablova, te mora odlučiti da li želi pomoći svojim radnim kolegama ili se obogatiti i izvući se odatle.

As he gets pulled deeper into the zone, he encounters growing hostility and the threat of robot cablers, and must choose to either help his fellow workers or to get rich and get out.

Razočaran u vlastitu religiju, preispituje sve u šta je ikada vjerovao. Međutim, dok pokušava srediti svoj razoreni život, vraćaju mu se nasilne uspomene i u njemu bude želju za osvetom.

Relic / Relikt Kada Edna, žena u osmoj deceniji života, neobjašnjivo iščezne, njena kćerka Kay i unuka Sam pohitaju u oronulu porodičnu kuću na selu. Svud po kući pronalaze dokaze da se Ednina demencija pogoršala. Nakon što se Edna vrati, jednako neobjašnjivo kao što je i nestala, Kay je zabrinuta jer njena majka ne želi ili nije u stanju reći gdje je bila, dok se Sam samo raduje što je baka ponovo s njima. Međutim, kad se Edna počne ponašati sve nepredvidljivije, obje počinju sumnjati da neka zloćudna sila u kući počinje preuzimati kontrolu nad njom. Natalie Erika James scenaristica je, rediteljica i producentica japansko-američkih korijena, s adresom stanovanja u Melbournu. Njen debitantski igrani film RELIKT svjetsku premijeru imao je na Sundance Film Festivalu 2020. i nominovan je za nagradu Australskog udruženja scenarista za najbolji igrani film. James je 2015. osvojila nagradu uticajne radiostanice Triple J za najbolji australski muzički video za režiju videospota “Mine” muzičkog umjetnika koji nastupa pod imenom Life is Better Blonde. E When octogenarian Edna inexplicably vanishes, her daughter Kay and granddaughter Sam rush to their family’s decaying country home and find clues of Edna’s increasing dementia scattered around the house in her absence. After Edna returns just as mysteriously as she disappeared, Kay’s concern that her mother seems unwilling or unable to say where she’s been clashes with Sam’s unabashed enthusiasm to have her grandma back. However, as Edna’s behaviour becomes increasingly volatile, both younger women begin to sense that an insidious presence in the house might be taking control of her.

Natalie Erika James is a Japanese-Australian writer, director and producer based in Melbourne.

The Assistant / Asistentkinja Film prati jedan dan u životu Jane, tek diplomirane ambiciozne filmske producentice, koja je upravo pronašla posao iz snova kao asistentkinja moćnog biznismena u industriji zabave. Njen radni dan je sličan bilo kom danu nekog drugog asistenta – kuha kafu, mijenja papir u kopir-mašini, naručuje ručak, organizuje putovanja, preuzima telefonske poruke, uvodi nove kolege u posao. Dok slijedi svoju svakodnevnu rutinu, Jane, kao i mi, postaje sve svjesnija zlostavljanja i rastućeg poniženja koje podmuklo boje svaki aspekt njenog radnog dana. Odlučuje zauzeti stav protiv toga, samo da bi otkrila istinsku dubinu sistema u koji je ušla. Kitty Green rođena je 1984. u Melbournu. Rediteljica je, scenaristica i producentica, a film i televiziju studirala je na Viktorijanskom koledžu umjetnosti. Njen dokumentarni film o feminističkom pokretu Femen, UKRAJINA NIJE BORDEL, premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Veneciji, kao i na preko pedeset svjetskih festivala, te je dobio i priznanje Akademije filmske i televizijske umjetnosti Australije za najbolji dokumentarni film. LICE UKRAJINE: AUDICIJA ZA OKSANU BAIUL osvojio je nagradu žirija na Filmskom festivalu Sundance te je prikazan i na Berlinale Generationu 2015. E THE ASSISTANT follows one day in the life of Jane, a recent college graduate and aspiring film producer, who has recently landed her dream job as a junior assistant to a powerful enertainment mogul. Her day is much like that of any other assistant – making coffee, changing the paper in the copy machine, ordering lunch, arranging travel, taking phone messages, onboarding a new hire. But as Jane follows her daily routine, she, and we, grow increasingly aware of the abuse that insidiously colours every aspect of her work day, an accumulation of degradations against which Jane decides to take a stand, only to discover the true depth of the system into which she has entered.

Kitty Green was born in 1984 in Melbourne. She is a director, writer, producer and co-editor who studied film and television at the Victorian College of the Arts. Her documentary UKRAINE IS NOT A BROTHEL, about the activities of the feminist movement Femen, premiered at the Venice Film Festival, screened at more than fifty festivals worldwide, and won the AACTA Award for Best Feature Length Documentary.

Dok je vanjski svijet u haosu i odjekuje eksplozijama bombi, porodica u svome domu uspijeva održati atmosferu sigurnog utočišta punog života i svjetlosti. Svi članovi porodice strastveno vole film, što ih motiviše da snime film o vlastitom životu u ratu. Taj kreativni proces suočava ih s pitanjem kakvu ulogu magični svijet filma može igrati u kriznim vremenima. Kako prikazati rat kroz umjetnost? Pretvaranje vlastitih trauma u umjetničko djelo savršen je način za Annu i njenu djecu za očuvanje vlastite ljudskosti.

The creative process raises questions about the kind of power the magical world of cinema could have during times of disaster. How to picture war through fiction? For Anna and the children, transforming trauma into a work of art is the ultimate way to stay human.

Svijet se mijenja. Nalazimo se na historijskoj prekretnici čiji ishod je nemoguće predvidjeti, a mogao bi biti razoran. Ali kada posuda napukne, to nije nužno loše. U Japanu takve pukotine ispunjavaju tečnim zlatom. Ta praksa poznata je pod imenom kintsugi – popraviti zlatom – i njeni rezultati zapanjujuće su lijepi. Da bi pukotinu ispunili zlatom, prvo joj morate dopustiti da se formira. Nakon toga, morate je proučavati, shvatiti kako se širi i promijeniti način na koji je percipirate: morate je početi doživljavati kao početak putovanja na čijem kraju vas čeka nešto novo, a ne lošija verzija starog.

tivnog mađarskog gradića koji proizvodi i izvozi jedan veoma specifičan proizvod…

Ovogodišnji program Evropskog kratkog filma doživljavam kao uranjanje u napukline, hrabro otkrivanje svega što je slomljeno ili što bi se moralo slomiti da bismo počeli ozdravljati.

Mahdi Fleifel po treći put se predstavlja u našem programu, ovaj put filmom 3 LOGIČNA IZLAZA, videoesejom o kompleksnom i nepravednom tretmanu Palestinaca. Dosljedan sebi, Fleifel ne izbjegava neugodne istine i tako svoj rad čini još relevantnijim.

Film LUTKA litvanskog reditelja Laurynasa Bareisa oštroumna je dvostruka kritika nasilja nad ženama. U ovom filmu, o istrazi slučaja silovanja i ubistva koju sprovode policijska inspektorica i njen tim, reditelj briljantno razotkriva i drugi, suptilni vid nasilja na radnom mjestu. LAŽNO SUNCE belgijskog reditelja Doriana Jespersa otkriva dekadentnu rusku dušu i uranja duboko u klizave tokove podsvijesti jednog kovača. Rediteljica Morgane Dziurla-Petit u našem programu predstavlja se drugu godinu zaredom, ovaj put filmom ZGRABI IH, u kojem na osvježavajuće duhovit način propituje rastući nacionalizam u Švedskoj i frustracije žene koja fizički izrazito nalikuje najkontroverznijem političaru današnjice… I Weronika Jurkiewicz pribjegava humoru u svome filmu ŽIVOPISNO SELO, bespoštednom portretu malog, uspavanog i naizgled konzerva-

Filmom JESENJA BOLEST, portretom mlade žene koja se priprema za neizbježnu smrt svoje majke, rediteljski dvojac Lola Cambourieu i Yann Berlier dokazuju moć empatije, neustrašivosti i sklonosti eksperimentisanju. Za sličan pristup odlučila se i Lucia Martinez u svom ni najmanje banalnom i sladunjavom filmu o odrastanju ŽIVA VODA. Švicarska rediteljica svoj je pronicljivi i blagi pogled usmjerila prema djevojci koja gradi vlastitu ličnost.

JESTE LI VIDJELI TOG ČOVJEKA Yotama BenDavida lirska je šetnja kroz jedno rumunsko selo, praćena naracijom nalik bajci o kolektivnom žalu žena zbog običaja i muškaraca koji postepeno nestaju. Prekrasno snimljen film švicarske rediteljice Juliette Korbel I DALJE RADI na prenesen način također govori o tranziciji i osjećaju izgubljenosti u svijetu koji se neprekidno mijenja. U filmu U MRAKU SU SVE MAČKE SIVE, upečatljivom portretu muškarca opsjednutog mačkama, Lasse Linder na tragikomičan način govori o usamljenosti. Film ERPE-MERE belgijske rediteljice Noemi Osselaer snažno je emotivno iskustvo – portret


teškog seoskog života u bajkovitim predjelima u kojima se na trenutke osjeća neko čudno, zloćudno prisustvo. Sličan nagovještaj opasnosti prisutan je i u filmu HELFER mađarske autorice Anne Szöllősi, vještom, intimnom, dubokom, crno-bijelom, animiranom osvrtu na mehanizme anksioznosti i represije. Konačno, film DIŠI rediteljice Darije Kaseperek poziva nas da provedemo malo vremena na jednoj klupi ispred niza stambenih zgrada u Poljskoj, gdje vrijeme teče vlastitim, neobjašnjivim ritmom… Iz godine u godinu, zapanjuju me talentovani, hrabri mladi umovi i nada koju oni bude. Ove godine, uprkos očiglednim teškoćama, po tom pitanju ništa se nije promijenilo. E The world is changing. We are going through a historical shift – one that has unforetold, potentially shattering outcomes. But a crack in the pottery is not necessarily a bad thing. In Japan, they fill in the cracks with liquid gold. This practice is called kinsukuroi – ‘golden repair’. The results are stunning. To fill a crack with gold, one must first allow it to form. One must then study it, appreciate its trajectory and change perspectives: to see the crack as the beginning of a journey that might produce a beautiful new piece in its own right, rather than a lesser version of its former self.

I see the films in this year’s European Shorts programme as a venture into the cracks, a brave contemplation on what is broken –- or what must be broken, in order for us to start to heal. DUMMY, by Lithuania’s Laurynas Bareisa, is a razor-sharp double-take on violence against

women. As a female detective and her team investigate a rape and murder, the director brilliantly reveals another, insidious kind of violence in the workplace. SUN DOG, by Belgian director Dorian Jespers, captures the decadent soul of Russia, and ventures deep into the slippery currents of a locksmith’s subconscious. GRAB THEM sees director Morgane Dziurla-Petit return to the programme for the second year in a row. She ushers in a comedic breath of fresh air as she explores the rise of nationalism in Sweden and the frustrations of a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to the most polarising politician of our times... Weronika Jurkiewicz also employs humour in THE VIBRANT VILLAGE: a tongue-in-cheek observation of a small, sleepy and seemingly conservative Hungarian town that manufactures and exports a highly specialised product… With AUTOMNE MALADE, directing duo Lola Cambourieu and Yann Berlier demonstrate the power of empathy, fearlessness and experimentation in a portrait of a young girl’s struggle as she prepares for her mother’s impending death. Similar in approach, EAU VIVE by Lucia Martinez is a coming-of-age story – but it is by no means cute or banal. The Swiss director places a discerning, tender gaze on a young girl growing into herself. Mahdi Fleifel comes back to European Shorts for the third time with 3 LOGICAL EXITS: a video essay that addresses the complexity and injustice inherent in the plight of Palestinian refugees. True to form, Fleifel does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, making his work all the more relevant.

Yotam Ben-David’s HAVE YOU SEEN THAT MAN? is a lyrical night-time wander around a Romanian village, narrating in fable-like manner the collective grief of women caused by disappearing customs… and men. Beautifully shot, STILL WORKING, by Swiss contender Julietta Korbel, is also symbolic of transitions and displacement in an ever-changing world. In ALL CATS ARE GREY IN THE DARK, Lasse Linder adopts a tragi-comic take on loneliness with a striking portrait of a man obsessively invested in his cats. ERPE-MERE, by Belgian director Noemi Osselaer, is a visceral experience – a dreamscape depicting the languid reality of a rural community, peppered with moments of an uncanny, ominous presence. This undercurrent of vibrating fear is also felt in HELFER, by Hungarian auteur Anna Szöllősi. The slick, intimate, black-andwhite animated work takes a deep plunge into the mechanisms of anxiety and repression. Finally, Daria Kaseperek’s BREATHE invites us to spend some time on the benches outside a Polish block of flats, where time has its own, inscrutable logic. Every year I am humbled and amazed by the talent and courage that keeps emerging, and by the hope that many young, beautiful minds represent. This year, despite the obvious hardships, is no different. Bianca Lucas Selektorica / Selector

Potresena bolešću svoje majke koja se iz dana u dan pogoršava, Milene odlazi iz Pariza kako bi se pripremila za prijemni ispit za Državnu školu za javnu upravu. Međutim, ni na mirnoj farmi na kojoj je potražila utočište ne uspijeva se skoncentrisati. Priroda koja je okružuje i susret s Momom pomažu joj da zaboravi na svoje probleme, ali bliži se jesen i ponestaje joj vremena. Lola Cambourieu studirala je na Školi za dramske umjetnosti Courts Florent u Parizu. Po završetku školovanja glumila je u pozorišnim predstavama prije nego što se posvetila filmu. Yann Berlier studirao je na Univerzitetu Sorbonne u Parizu, a zatim je radio kao srednjoškolski nastavnik filozofije. Nedavno se odlučio posvetiti filmu, te je sa Lolom Cambourieu osnovao filmski istraživački centar Réalviscéralisme za proučavanje odnosa između fikcije i stvarnog života. E Distressed by her mother’s illness, which is getting worse day by day, Milene leaves Paris to prepare for entry exam for the National School of Administration. Seeking calm on a farm, she still struggles to concentrate. The surrounding countryside and her meeting with Momo help her forget her troubles. But autumn is coming and time is short. Lola Cambourieu studied at the Courts Florent in Paris. Once her training was complete, she performed and directed for the theatre before dedicating herself to cinema. Yann Berlier teached Philosophy in high school after studing at the ParisSorbonne University. He recently resigned to devote himself to cinema. With Lola Cambourieu, he founded Réalviscéralisme, a cinematic reaserch group about fiction and reality.

Lou uživa u ljetu ispunjenom zabavama i kupanju u rijeci, i pronalazi put kroz svoju nanovo izgrađenu društvenu zajednicu. Međutim, u svim ugodnim trenucima osjeća i nelagodu zbog previše poznatog okruženja. Obuzeta melanholijom, sanja o nepoznatim mjestima koja bi voljela istražiti. Lucia Martinez mlada je švicarska rediteljica čiji filmovi propituju ljudsko ponašanje čiji je cilj da uspori prelazak iz djetinjstva u zrelu dobu. Martinez ne radi s profesionalnim glumcima već kreira filmove proistekle iz njene zbilje. Njeni rođaci, komšije i prijatelji utjelovljuju uloge u cijeloj priči. E Between parties and dips in the river, Lou abandons herself over the summer and navigates through her reconstituted community. Overlapping the slightest moments of comfort is the weariness of a territory that has become too familiar. Melancholic, Lou dreams of an elsewhere she would like to seize. Lucia Martinez is a young Swiss director whose films explore the deferments linked to the passage from childhood to adulthood. Using no professional actors, the fictions she creates stem from her immediate reality. A sibling, a neighbour and friends become performers for the span of a tale.

FILMOGRAFIJA / FILMOGRAPHY: 2020 – SUN DOG (kratki film /short film)

Fedor je mladi kovač koji živi u ledenom gradu Murmansku na ruskom Arktiku. Obilazeći klijente, Fedor luta stvarnim gradskim ulicama oživljenim njegovim maštarijama koje ga razdvajaju od grada i njegovih sugrađana. Fedorovi snovi remete njegov odnos sa stvarnošću i otvaraju mu put u zamišljeni svijet u kojem iznad ruskog Arktika izlazi drugo sunce. Dorian Jespers filmski je autor iz Belgije. Studirao je kinematografiju na Institutu za umjetnost INSAS, a režiju na Kraljevskoj akademiji za lijepe umjetnosti u Gentu. Njegovo obrazovanje ogleda se u njegovom odlično ocijenjenom eksperimentalnom magistarskom filmu LAŽNO SUNCE. Film je premijerno prikazan u takmičarskom programu Tiger Short Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Rotterdamu. E Fedor is a young locksmith in Murmansk, a frozen city in the obscurity of the Russian Arctic. Assisting client after client, he roams through the alleys of concrete animated by a fantasy that isolates him from the city and its population. His dreams corrode his relationship to reality and open the door to a phantasmagoric universe; a second sun is rising above the Russian Arctic. Dorian Jespers is a Belgian filmmaker. He studied cinematography at INSAS and directing at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Gent. This is reflected in his experimental fantasy film, SUN DOG, a project with which Jespers obtained his MA with the highest distinction. The film had its premiere in the Tiger Short Competition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

Dvadesetog decembra 1989, nekoliko dana nakon što je rumunski diktator Nicolae Ceauşescu u krvi ugušio proteste u Temišvaru, mirno veče jednog oca pretvara se u mučan poduhvat nakon što sazna da je njegov mali sin poštom poslao božićno pismo Djedu Mrazu. Koliko je dječak uspio shvatiti, želja njegovog oca bila je da vidi Ceauşescua mrtvog. Bogdan Mureşanu nagrađivani je pisac, a književni rad i rad u reklamnoj industriji zamijenio je radom na filmu. Snimio je nekoliko kratkih fimova, među kojima i film BOŽIĆNI POKLON koji je u samo šest mjeseci osvojio deset nagrada. E On 20 December 1989, a few days after Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu’s bloody repression of protests in Timişoara, a father’s quiet evening turns into an ordeal as he finds out that his little boy has mailed his Christmas list letter to Santa. As far as the child understood, his father’s desire was to see Ceauşescu dead. Bogdan Mureşanu, an award-winning writer, has shifted from literature and advertising to cinema. He has made several short films, including THE CHRISTMAS GIFT, which won ten awards in under six months.

SLOBODA KRETANJA podsjetnik je na maratonsku trku na Olimpijskim igrama u Rimu 1960. u kojoj je, iako je trčao bosonog, pobijedio Etiopljanin Abebe Bikila. Bikila je bio prvi Afrikanac u historiji koji je osvojio zlatnu medalju, te je postao sportska legenda i simbol oslobođenja afričkog kontinenta od kolonijalne vlasti. Umjetnici Nina Fischer i Maroan el-Sani smještaju taj događaj u drugačiji kontekst, u okruženje kontroverzne rimske racionalističke arhitekture, kako bi definisali novu rasu izbjeglica i migranata koji se bore za “slobodu kretanja”. Nina Fischer i Maroan el Sani vizuelni su umjetnici i filmski autori koji rade zajedno od 1995. U periodu od 2007. do 2010. radili su kao vanredni profesori filmske i medijske umjetnosti na Univerzitetu Sapporo u Japanu.

Tajno, ona sve snima. U nadrealnom stanu, kugarka, gost, dijete i obećanje djetetu da će dobiti psa ako bude radilo što se od njega traži. Joanna Rytel diplomirala je 2004. na Univerzitetu za umjetnost, rukotvorine i dizajn u Stockholmu. Razvila je kompleksan umjetnički izraz, a u svome radu uvijek se bavi ključnim pitanjima našeg doba: rodnom (ne) jednakošću, moći i identitetom. E Secretly, she is filming everything. In a surreal apartment a cougar, a guest, a child and promises of a dog if the child plays along. Joanna Rytel graduated in 2004 from the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. She has developed a complex artistry, which always points out our time’s most poignant issues of gender, power and identity.

E FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT evokes the marathon of the Rome Olympic Games of 1960, in which Ethiopian Abebe Bikila won Africa’s first gold medal, running barefoot and becoming a sporting legend and symbol of an Africa freeing itself from colonialism in the process. Artists Nina Fischer and Maroan el-Sani re-contextualise this event amid Rome’s controversial rationalist architecture to define a new race involving refugees and immigrants staking a claim to “freedom of movement.” Nina Fischer & Maroan el Sani are visual artists and filmmakers who have been working together since 1995. From 2007 until 2010 they were Associate Professors of Film and Media Art at Sapporo City University, Japan.

Laurel Canyon / Kanjon Laurel – prvi dio / Laurel Canyon Part 1 Kanjon Laurel bio je ruralna oaza u kojoj su cvjetali talenti mladih muzičara koji su tu osnivali muzičke grupe, raspuštali ih i formirali nove.

Liam Gallagher: As It Was / Istina o Liamu Gallagheru Dokumentarac ISTINA O LIAMU GALLAGHERU iskrena je i emotivna priča o tome kako je jedan od najžešćih rock’n’roll pjevača iz omamljujućih visina dok je pjevao u muzičkoj grupi Oasis došao do života na rubu, izopćen i izgubljen u muzičkim pustopoljinama alkohola, ozloglašenosti i gorkih pravnih bitaka. Krećući ponovo potpuno sam, ogoljen i bez mogućnosti da se sakrije, Liam će riskirati sve kako bi napravio najveći muzički povratak svih vremena. Gavin Fitzgerald rođen je u Dublinu, a njegov prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film CONOR MCGREGOR: NOTORIOUS postao je najgledanijim irskim dokumentarcem svih vremena. Radilo se o projektu dugom četiri godine koji se odlično nastavio na uspješnu televizijsku dokumentarnu seriju o usponu ovog kontroverznog irskog UFC borca. Charlie Lightening reditelj je i producent koji uglavnom radi u muzičkoj industriji, snima dokumentarne filmove, muzičke promotivne spotove i filmove s koncerata uživo. Do danas je snimio filmove o umjetnicima kao što su Paul McCartney, Nile Rodgers, Noel Gallagher, Ronnie Wood, Robbie Williams, Björk, Black Sabbath, Jamiroquai, Kasabian i mnogim drugim. U njegovom posljednjem filmu 12/12/12, kojeg je producirao za kompaniju Weinstein, izvršni producent bio je Paul McCartney koji se također pojavio u filmu skupa s Rolling Stonesima, muzičkom grupom The Who, Bruceom Springsteenom i Rogerom Watersom. E LIAM GALLAGHER: AS IT WAS tells the honest and emotional story of how one of rock music’s most electrifying frontmen fell from the dizzying heights of his champagne supernova years as part of the band Oasis into a musical wilderness of ostracism, booze and bitter legal battles. In his own words, hear how Gallagher fought his way back, turning his fall from superstardom into the launch of a visionary solo career.

Gavin FitzGerald was born in Dublin, and his first feature-length documentary, CONOR MCGREGOR: NOTORIOUS, is the highest-grossing Irish documentary of all time. The film was distributed by Universal Pictures and had a worldwide cinema release. This was a four-year long project that built on the tremendous success of his television series documenting the rise of the controversial Irish UFC fighter. Charlie Lightening is a director and producer working predominantly within the music industry, making documentaries, music promos and live performance films. He has made films for artists including Paul McCartney, Nile Rodgers, Noel Gallagher, Ronnie Wood, Robbie Williams, Björk, Black Sabbath, Jamiroquai and Kasabian, to name a few. His last motion picture, 12/12/12, was executive produced and starred Paul McCartney as well as the Rolling Stones, The Who, Bruce Springsteen and Roger Waters.

Povratak kući – Marina Abramović i njena deca / Homecoming - Marina Abramović and Her Children Povod je “Čistač”, putujuća retrospektivna izložba čije je krajnje odredište Beograd, umjetnicin rodni grad. Izložba je kontemplacija o njenom cjelokupnom životu, uključujući sumnje koje su je zaokupljale tokom mladosti koju je provela u Beogradu, pogrešne ljubavne veze i posebnu vrstu usamljenosti. Izložba se fokusira na fenomen ponovljenih performansa. Ali ko su učesnici u njima? Boris Miljković diplomirao je filmsku režiju na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti Univerziteta u Beogradu. Tokom karijere osmislio je i režirao brojne televizijske emisije, a osamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća i filmove. Neke od njegovih umjetničkih videoinstalacija izlagane su u kulturnim institucijama poput Muzeja moderne umjetnosti u New Yorku i Muzeja moderne historije u Houstonu. Tokom proteklih decenija napravio je više stotina TV-reklama, muzičkih videospotova, te videoradova za pozorišne predstave. Miljković je dobitnik više prestižnih nagrada poput JRT nagrade, Monte Carlo televizijske nagrade, Clio nagrade, MTV nagrade, UEPS nagrade, nagrade Zlatni javor itd. U Narodnom pozorištu u Beogradu režirao je predstavu “Nevjesta od vjetra” po tekstu Slobodana Šnajdera, a u Ateljeu 212 u Beogradu predstavu “Priča o vojniku” po tekstu Igora Stravinskog. Jedan je od osnivača srbijanskog MTS Vision festivala. Miljković je dugogodišnji kreativni direktor Radio-televizije Srbije. E The occasion is “The Cleaner”, a travelling retrospective exhibition of work by Marina Abramović, whose final destination is Belgrade, the artist’s hometown. It contemplates her whole life, including dilemmas from her youth in Belgrade, misguided love affairs and a special kind of loneliness. It centres around re-performance as a phenomenon. Who are re-performers?

Boris Miljković graduated from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts of the University of Arts in Belgrade, where he completed studies in the film directing department. He wrote and directed numerous television shows and films during the 1980s. Some of his contemporary video art has been presented in galleries such as New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), as well as the Museum of Contemporary History in Houston.

Michel Franco

„Poštovanje prema gledaocu“ – sažima Michel Franco u jednom intervjuu ono što vidi kao glavnu odliku vlastitog filmskog stvaralaštva. Uvid u kompletnu filmografiju cijenjenog i nagrađivanog meksičkog reditelja razotkriva sve elemente tog stava: preplitanja tema između kojih sami gledaoci odlučuju koja je ona prava ili ne moraju izabrati nijednu; stil koji odlikuje klinički objektivna, distancirana kamera, kojom Franco kao da nas uvijek iznova pita: da u stvarnosti s ove distance vidite etički problematičan čin, da li biste intervenirali ili okrenuli glavu i produžili svojim putem. Upravo je pružanje tog izbora vrhunski izraz poštovanja gledaoca. U svjetlu Francovog karakterističnog stila, svojevrsno iznenađenje nudi kratki igrani film IZLAZ. Kada ne uspiju naći odgovarajućeg donora jetre za svog sina unutar zdravstvenog sistema, imućni roditelji odluče ubiti dječaka koji živi na ulici – Franco će ovaj siže varirati i kasnije u svom opusu, no ovdje je daleko značajnija stilska razlika u odnosu na kasnije filmove. Dinamičan, sniman kamerom iz ruke, bez distance i elipsa, te s dijalogom koji je previše eksplicitan i didaktičan, IZLAZ je više socijalno angažirani film koji direktno upozorava na vezu klasne privilegije i zločina, a manje film koji koristi određeni društveni problem da bi istražio ljudsko stanje. Cjelovečernji prvenac DANIEL I ANA zauzima radikalno drugačiji stav, uz prikladno drugačiji stil. U prvom dijelu filma svjedočimo kriminalnom činu: otmičari prisiljavaju Daniela i Anu Torres, brata i sestru, na seks pred kamerom, implicirajući ucjenu njihove bogate porodice. Štaviše, film se i završava poražavajućom statistikom o ucjenama incest pornografijom u Meksiku. Franca ne zanima mehanizam ovog tipa zločina, nego njegovi neposredni efekti na žrtve. Dok Ana grčevito nastoji vratiti svoj život u svoje ruke (očekuje je vjenčanje), Daniel ostaje začahuren; izolira se od roditelja i vršnjaka, i odbija sestrin savjet da potraži pomoć. No, dok uspoređuje dva posttraumatska iskustva, film prikazuje i disfunkcionalnost porodice u meksičkoj višoj klasi. Bogatstvo i klasni prestiž Torresovih ne garantiraju istinsku porodičnu bliskost ni toplinu doma. Škrti dijalozi i elipse potcrtavaju porodični vakuum – porodica je tek prazni mehanizam koji pokreću samo građanski rituali. Paradoksalno, u tom ambijentu čak i Danielova novootkrivena strast prema sestri izgleda kao jedina autentična emotivna veza. I u fokusu filma NAKON LUCIJE nalazi se aktuelan društveni problem – vršnjačko nasilje među tinejdžerima. Nakon što se doseli u novi

grad s ocem Robertom, tinejdžerka Alejandra postaje predmet bullyinga u školi. Povod: dečku koji joj se dopao dozvolila je da ih snima tokom seksa. Scene okrutnosti i poniženja koje Alejandra trpi opet su prikazane s provokativne distance, u dugačkim kadrovima – takoreći, bez treptaja ili mogućnosti da, makar na tren, skrenete pogled. Pa ipak, i u filmu o vršnjačkom nasilju, Francova ništa manje važna tema ostaje pokidana porodica. Lucia iz naslova filma je Alejandrina majka – njena smrt u saobraćajnoj nesreći, prije zbivanja u filmu, ostavila je tektonski rasjed između oca i kćeri. Ključ njihovog raskola je nepremostiva razlika u tugovanju za Lucijom: muž kao da je želi izbrisati iz sjećanja i početi novi život, dok kćerka istrajava na vezi s majkom. Upravo će taj antagonizam, a ne bullying i njegove posljedice, neopozivo odrediti tragičnu završnicu filma. KROZ OČI tematski varira priču o nemoralnom roditeljstvu iz IZLAZA. Monica je socijalna radnica koja pomaže beskućnicima i narkomanima – scene koje prikazuju njihovu interakciju efektivno su dokumentarne. Samohrana majka desetogodišnjeg Omara i sama je pri dnu društvene ljestvice. Degeneracija Omarovih rožnjača iziskuje transplantaciju, ali kako je do donora nemoguće doći standardnom procedurom, Monica odlučuje iskoristiti Benjamina, narkomana i uličara nešto starijeg od njenog sina. Prima ga u svoj dom, njeguje i liječi od ovisnosti, a dječak razvija prijateljstvo s Omarom. Eliptična naracija i montaža sugeriraju unutrašnje konflikte središnjeg lika više nego u drugim Francovim filmovima. Činjenica da reditelj i na dnu društvene ljestvice nalazi iste etičke probleme kao i na njenom vrhu, ukazuje da i siromašni oponašaju moćne, ako im se pruži prilika. HRONIČNI – saradnja s Timom Rothom, te prvi film na engleskom i smješten u SAD – donijela je Francu najveću međunarodnu vidljivost, a da pritom nije odstupio od svojih glavnih autorskih postulata. Priča o Davidu, bolničaru koji pomaže terminalno oboljelima, snimljena je s istom onom nelagodnom distancom i u sporom ritmu kao i prethodni filmovi. Štaviše, HRONIČNI je ambivalentniji od prethodnika jer u njemu nema vidljivog zločina ili moralnog problema. Triler bi nas stavio pred dilemu: je li David psihopat koji koristi nemoćne da bi zadovoljio svoje sadističke impulse ili ekstremno empatičan čovjek koji, i sam obilježen gubitkom, istinski želi pomoći. HRONIČNI odlazi s onu stranu te dvojbe, podsjećajući nas da te dvije opcije zapravo ne isključuju jedna drugu, niti su jedina dva čitanja složenih odnosa koje vidimo u filmu.


Za ABRILINE KĆERKE i sam reditelj tvrdi da je riječ o njegovom filmu najpristupačnijem široj publici. S razlogom: u prvih dvadesetak minuta čujemo više dijaloga nego u svim ostalim Francovim filmovima, a odsustvo kliničke kamere omogućuje neposredniju identifikaciju s filmovima. Stilska promjena određena je pričom i likovima koji pršte energijom kakvu je dosad bilo teško vidjeti. Za početak, majka i dvije kćeri, svaka sa svojim motivima i porivima, daju daleko burniju konstelaciju od karakterističnih Francovih izoliranih pojedinaca i dvojaca. Ni etički problem ovaj put nije neopozivi zločin nego nešto što poziva na intervenciju koja ipak ima smisla. Ako se prethodne tmurne završnice mogu čitati kao defetističke, ABRILINE KĆERKE kao da sugerira nemirenje sa statusom quo: otpor i borba su legitimna reakcija na nepravdu. Naravno, to da upravo porodica ostaje glavno poprište tog sukoba neće iznenaditi nikoga ko poznaje glavne koordinate Francovog univerzuma.

E “Respect for the viewer,” replies Michel Fran-

co, in an interview when asked about the central trait of his filmography. A look at the body of work of the highly respected, award-winning Mexican director reveals what he means: interlocking storylines that allow viewers to decide whether one is the most significant or if all are equally important; observational long shots used as if to pose, over and over again, the same question – If, in real life, you were to witness, from this distance, ethically unacceptable behaviour, would you intervene, or turn a blind eye and walk away? That he offers a choice is the ultimate sign of his respect for the viewer.

Franco’s short film A WAY OUT is something of a surprise, as it diverges from his signature style. Wealthy parents decide to murder a homeless boy after they fail to find a liver donor for their sick son through the regular channels. Franco explores a similar moral dilemma in his later films but, stylistically, this one is markedly different. Dynamic, filmed with a handheld camera, lacking long shots or elliptical editing, employing explicit and didactic dialogue, A WAY OUT is more a socially engaged film that bluntly correlates social privilege and criminality than it is focused on a specific social problem in order to explore the human condition in general. Franco’s debut feature-length work, DANIEL AND ANA, is radically different, including in terms of its visual aesthetic. It opens with a crime: Daniel and Ana Torres are kidnapped and

forced to have sex with each other on camera, the implication being that the recording will be used to blackmail their affluent parents. In fact, the closing credits include grim statistics on the prevalence of incest-porn blackmail in Mexico. Franco is not interested in the mechanism of the crime itself, but rather in its impact on the victims. While Ana desperately tries to regain control of her life (preparing for her upcoming wedding), Daniel withdraws into himself, pulling away from his parents and friends and ignoring his sister’s advice to seek help from a psychologist. While showing the siblings’ differing ways of dealing with the post-traumatic stress, Franco also portrays the dysfunction of the Mexican upper-classes. Wealth and prestige do not guarantee a happy, loving home for the Torres family. Elliptical editing and minimal dialogue magnify the vacuum – the Torres family is just an empty shell kept together only by social rituals. Paradoxically, in that context, Daniel’s new-found lust for his sister appears to be the only genuine emotion. AFTER LUCIA also revolves around a major social problem – peer violence among teenagers. After moving to a new city with her father Robert, Alejandra – a teenager – becomes a victim of bullying at school when she allows a boy she liked to film their sexual encounter. For scenes in which Alexandra is treated cruelly and humiliated, Franco again resorts to long, provocatively distant takes – as if the camera refuses to blink or avert its gaze. Still, in this film about peer violence, the broken family remains an equally important theme. The Lucia from the title of the film is Alejandra’s mother. Her death in a car accident, preceding the events shown in the film, has left a deep void between father and daughter. The main reason for the split between them is that they deal with the loss of Lucia in two very different ways: while Roberto wants to eradicate her from his memory, Alejandra insists on keeping her memory alive. This gives rise to an antagonism between them and it is this, rather than the bullying and its consequences, that determines the tragic outcome of the film. THROUGH THE EYES is another take on the theme of immoral choices made by parents, which Franco first explored in A WAY OUT. The main protagonist, Monica, is a social worker who helps homeless and drug-addicted teenagers – scenes of their interactions have a documentary feel to them. The single mother of ten-year-old Omar, Monica is herself at the bottom of the social ladder. Omar suffers from a degenerative eye disease and urgently needs

a cornea transplant, but since it is impossible to find a donor via the standard procedure, Monica decides to make use of Benjamin, a vagrant addict not much older than her son. She takes him into her home, cares for him, helps him get clean and lets him befriend Omar. Elliptical narration and editing are more revealing than is typical for Franco of the main protagonist’s internal strife. The fact that the director finds the same ethical problems at the bottom of the social ladder as he does at its top suggests that the poor will imitate the rich if given the chance. In his English-language debut and international breakthrough, CHRONIC, starring Tim Roth, Franco did not break from his established style. Set in the United States, the story of David, a palliative nurse, shares the methodical distance and slow pace of Franco’s previous films. In fact, CHRONIC is his most ambivalent film, as it does not revolve around any obvious crime or moral dilemma. If it were a thriller, one might wonder whether David is a psychopath who uses his helpless patients to satisfy his sadistic impulses or a highly empathic, genuinely helpful man, himself scarred by loss. CHRONIC goes beyond that dilemma, reminding us that these options are not mutually exclusive; neither are they the only two possible explanations for the complex relationships portrayed in the film. In the director’s own opinion, APRIL’S DAUGHTER is Franco’s most accessible film. And for good reason: it feels as though there is more dialogue in the first twenty minutes of APRIL’S DAUGHTER than occurs in all Franco’s other films combined, and the absence of distanced long shots makes it easier to identify with the protagonists. This change in style is dictated by the film’s plot and set of characters. For starters, a mother and her two daughters, each with her own motives and desires, are a much more combustible mix than Franco’s typical one or two self-contained main characters. The central ethical dilemma of the film is not an obvious crime, but it does call for a meaningful intervention. If the grim conclusions of his earlier films can be perceived as defeatist, the ending of APRIL’S DAUGHTER suggests a refusal to accept the status quo: to resist and fight injustice is a legitimate reaction. However, to anyone acquainted with the co-ordinates of Franco’s cinematic universe, it comes as no surprise that in APRIL’S DAUGHTER he once again chooses a family as the central battlefield for that fight.

Suočavanje s prošlošću – da li je moguće u strašnim vremenima naći dobre ljude? U ovim nesvakidašnjim okolnostima, gdje svijet koji smo poznavali neće postojati u budućnosti, traganje za istinom i utvrđivanje činjenica važniji su nego ikada prije. Anksioznosti svijeta kojeg ostavljamo iza nas provući će se i u novi poredak svijeta i ponovo dobiti na snazi. Usuđujem se reći, ako smo šta naučili proteklih mjeseci, da se naši lični životi mogu okrenuti naglavačke u jednom trenu. Program Suočavanje s prošlošću od svojih početaka ima jasan cilj: pokrenuti iskren dijalog o bliskoj prošlosti našeg regiona. To je preduslov za prevazilaženje problema proisteklih iz nedavnih ratova u bivšoj Jugoslaviji koji su bespovratno obilježili naša društva. U proteklih pet godina podijelili smo mnoge iznimno bolne, ali inspirativne priče iz svih krajeva svijeta. Životi njihovih protagonista najčešće su radikalno promijenjeni, te su našu publiku često ostavljali bez riječi, a još češće željnu više informacija. Posmatrane kroz prizmu trenutne pandemije, otkrivanje ličnih i nacionalnih trauma, kao i preispitivanje procesa pomirenja mogu se činiti manje bitnim temama, ali dugoročno posmatrane one su od ključnog značaja za uspostavu zdravih i prosperitetnih demokratskih društava. U fokusu ovogodišnjeg programa su snažni pojedinici i njihove borbe, epizode u kojima se životne okolnosti naprasno promijene, život koji je postojao do tada, nestaje bespovratno. Budući da sada, više nego ikada ranije, preispitujemo međuljudsku solidarnost, svaki film u programu postavlja isto pitanje: da li je moguće u strašnim vremenima naći dobre ljude? Osim toga, filmovi u programu su povezani i stilski, tako što su skoro svi snimljeni u crno-bijeloj tehnici. Kako tako snažne i teške priče mogu biti svedene na beskonačnost nijanse sive boje? Da li ovako vizuelno ograničenje umanjuje dirljive i teške aspekte ovih filmskih priča? Ili naprotiv, ima funkciju da dodatno naglašava aspekte priče? Ovogodišnja selekcija obuhvata mnoštvo različitih autorskih glasova, tema i estetskih pristupa.

igrana priča o ženi koja je spasila živote više od 10 000 djece zatočene u nacističkim koncentracionim logorima tokom Drugog svjetskog rata. OBOJENA PTICA češkog reditelja Václava Marhoula zasnovana je na istoimenom, čuvenom romanu Jerzyja Kosińskog. Ovaj prekrasno snimljeni film opisuje Drugi svjetski rat iz perspektive jednog dječaka. Atmosferični noir film – SLUGE REŽIMA – slovačkog reditelja Ivana Ostrochovskog predstavlja epizodu iz života mladih vjerskih službenika u jednom sjemeništu, rastrzanih između katoličke crkve i vladajućeg komunističkog režima u Čehoslovačkoj osamdesetih godina prošloga vijeka. ŠTA ĆEŠ URADITI KADA SVIJET POČNE DA GORI? dokumentarni je film italijanskog reditelja Roberta Minervinija o jednoj afroameričkoj zajednici na jugu Sjedinjenih Američkih Država u ljeto 2017, kada je serija brutalnih, rasno motivisanih ubistava šokirala čitavu Ameriku. Veliko je zadovoljstvo predstaviti posljednji film kambodžanskog majstora Rithyja Phana OZRAČENI. Ovaj film je o ljudima koji su usljed rata bili izloženi opasnom fizičkom i psihološkom zračenju, uprkos tome, preživjeli, a preporučujemo ga svima koji smatraju da su imuni na tu vrstu opasnosti. Našoj publici obratit će se i Rithy Pahn, koji će predstaviti svoj inspirativan rad u moderiranom razgovoru. Pored filmskog programa Suočavanja s prošlošću, putem Sajma istinitih priča predstavili smo brojne priče velikog potencijala da budu pretočene u filmove koji navode na razmišljanje, te su inspirisale brojne filmske autore. Nažalost, zbog obaveze držanja fizičke distance, Sajam nećemo moći organizovati onako kako smo to činili prethodnih godina, ali ipak želimo održati ovaj važni razgovor i nastaviti da otkrivamo priče koje moraju biti ispričane. U sklopu ovogodišnjeg Sajma istinitih priča predstavit ćemo inspirativne razgovore sa bosanskohercegovačkim umjetnicima i autorima koji su se u svome radu bavili kulturom sjećanja.

Dealing with the Past – Are There Good People in Terrible Times? E In these unprecedented times, when it seems that the world we used to know will not exist in the future, truth-seeking and fact-checking are more important than ever. But the anxieties of the world we have left behind will trickle into the new order and be triggered again. If we have learnt anything over the past months, I daresay it is that our personal lives can be turned upside-down in a matter of moments.

The Dealing with the Past programme has had a clear mission since its start: to conduct honest dialogue about our region’s recent past as a prerequisite to resolving the problems that stem from the Yugoslav Wars, which still strain our societies. Over the last five years, we have shared many gut-wrenching but inspiring stories from around the world. The lives of the protagonists of these stories have been radically altered, while our audiences have at times been rendered speechless or, perhaps more often, hungry for more information. Viewed through the lens of the current pandemic, these topics – the uncovering of personal and national traumas and the examination of reconciliation processes – might seem of secondary importance but in the long run they are essential for healthy and prosperous democratic societies. This year’s programme centres on powerful individuals and their struggles, and on episodes in their lives that abruptly and drastically change their living conditions. As we are now questioning human solidarity more than ever, each film poses the same question: Are there good people in terrible times? Moreover, the selection is stylistically unified in that all films are shot in black and white. How can such compelling and troublesome stories be reduced to shades of grey? Does an austere visual aesthetic undermine the difficult and dreadful side of a story? Perhaps it can highlight such aspects all the more? The line-up features a polyphony of authorial voices, of the subjects they explore, and of aesthetic approaches. Croatian filmmaker Dana Budisavljević makes her directorial debut with THE DIARY OF DIANA B.,

a docu-fiction work about a woman who saved the lives of more than 10,000 children who had been sent to Nazi concentration camps during World War II. THE PAINTED BIRD by Václav Marhoul of the Czech Republic is an adaptation of Jerzy Kosiński’s novel of the same name. Magnificently shot, the film describes World War II from the perspective of a young boy. An atmospheric film noir by Slovakia’s Ivan Ostrochovský, SERVANTS gives us a glimpse into the lives of young seminarians who are torn between the Catholic Church and the ruling Communist Party in 1980s Czechoslovakia. WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WORLD’S ON FIRE? is a documentary by Italian director Roberto Minervini about a community of African Americans in the American South during the summer of 2017, when a string of brutal, racially motivated killings sent shockwaves throughout the United States. To our great pleasure, Dealing with the Past presents IRRADIATED, the most recent film by Cambodian master Rithy Panh, who will also conduct a career master class. The film focusses on people who have survived physical and psychological irradiation as a result of war – and is recommended to those who believe they are immune to it. Alongside the film programme of Dealing with the Past, the True Stories Market has allowed us to present many stories that have great potential to be realised as thought-provoking films. and that have served as inspiration to many filmmakers. Current social-distancing regulations unfortunately interrupt our ability to conduct the market as we have in the past; nevertheless, we wish to continue this important conversation and keep working to expose stories that urgently need to be told. This year’s True Stories Market programme features inspiring talks by Bosnian and Herzegovinian artists and authors who have been exploring the culture of memory in their work. Dealing with the Past is a project of the Sarajevo Film Festival supported by the Robert Bosch Foundation

DEALING WITH THE PAST l 26. Sarajevo Film Festival 167


Dnevnik Diane Budisavljević / The Diary of Diana B. Diana Budisavljević sa suprugom ljekarom, kćerima i tek rođenom unukom živi životom zagrebačke visoke građanske klase. U jesen 1941. saznaje da se Židovke i Srpkinje s djecom odvode u logore gdje umiru od gladi i bolesti. Židovska općina šalje pomoć Židovkama, ali za Srpkinje se niko ne brine. Koristeći svoje austrijsko porijeklo, Diana apelira na vlast, crkvu i Crveni križ da spase barem djecu. Niko od njih ne želi preuzeti odgovornost. S nekolicinom prijatelja u svom stanu prikuplja pomoć i organizira akciju kojom će do kraja rata od sigurne smrti biti spašeno više od 10 000 djece. Među njima su i Živko, Milorad, Zorka i Nada koji se gotovo 80 godina kasnije vraćaju u logore svog djetinjstva i tek tada spoznaju da život duguju nepokolebljivoj snazi jedne žene. Dana Budisavljević rođena je 1975. u Zagrebu. Diplomirala je na Odsjeku za filmsku i TV montažu Akademije dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Kao rediteljica debitirila je dokumentarnim filmom SVE 5!, a širu popularnost stekla je porodičnim filmom NIJE TI ŽIVOT PJESMA HAVAJA. DNEVNIK DIANE BUDISAVLJEVIĆ njen je prvi autorski dugometražni film. Premijerno je prikazan na Pulskom filmskom festivalu 2019, gdje je osvojio šest nagrada. U 66. godina Pulskog filmskog festivala DNEVNIK DIANE BUDISAVLJEVIĆ prvi je film koji je osvojio nagrade žirija, kritike i publike, a ujedno i prvi film jedne autorice koji je osvojio Veliku Zlatnu arenu za najbolji film. Među dosad osvojenih 13 nagrada ističu se Nagrada za najbolji debitantski film na Film Festivalu Cottbus te Nagrada za najbolji film Jerusalem Jewish Film Festivala. E Austrian-born Diana Budisavljević and her doctor husband, her daughters and her new-born granddaughter lived comfortably as members of the Zagreb upper class when, in the fall of 1941, she learned that Jewish and Serb women and children were being taken to concentration camps and left there to die of hunger and sickness. The Jewish community was sending provisions to the Jewish prisoners, but nobody was helping the Serbs. After her pleas with the authorities, church officials and Red Cross representatives to save at least the children were ignored, Budisavljević and a few of her friends took matters into their own hands, organising a campaign that ultimately saved the lives of more than 10,000 children. Among those children were Zivko, Milorad, Zorka and Nada who, after nearly eighty years, returned to the camps where they were held as children and only then realised they owe their lives to a woman’s unbreakable strength.

Dana Budisavljević was born in 1975 in Zagreb. She graduated from the Department of Film and Television Editing of the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. She made her directorial debut with the documentary film STRAIGHT A’S and won greater recognition with the family film FAMILY MEALS. THE DIARY OF DIANA B. is her first feature-length film as a director. It had its premiere at the Pula Film Festival, where it won six awards. THE DIARY OF DIANA B. was the first film to win the the jury, film critics’ and audience awards in the 66 years of the Pula Film Festival, while Budisavljević became the first female director to win the Grand Golden Arena for Best Film. The film won a total of thirteen awards, including the Best Debut Film Award from the Cottbus Film Festival and the Best Film Award from the Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival.

Irradiés / Ozračeni / Irradiated Muške ruke pažljivo slažu maketu kuće u koju, kao u hram, smještaju sačuvano blago: porodičnu fotografiju. Tako počinje putovanje u bol. Ekran je razlomljen u triptih koji slikama daje ritam. Svaka tragedija je jedinstvena, ali ponavljanje slika proizvodi monotonu buku od koje je nemoguće pobjeći. Film OZRAČENI napravili su ljudi koji su usljed rata preživjeli opasno fizičko i psihičko zračenje. Svima koji smatraju da su imuni na tu opasnost preporučuju da ga pogledaju. “Riječima je nemoguće opisati šta znači kada kažete da ste preživjeli. Nastaviti živjeti, u kontaktu s tim zračenjem, zračenjem čiji uzrok može biti nepoznat, o kojem ne znamo ništa, ali od kojeg se ne možemo zaštititi. Zlo zrači. Ono povređuje – povređuje čak i buduće generacije, ali iza tog bola krije se nevinost.” (Phan) Rithy Panh rođen je 1964. u Phnom Penhu, Kambodža. Godine 1980, bježeći od diktature Crvenih kmera, stigao je u Pariz i pohađao studij na Institutu za napredne filmske studije (danas: La Fémis). U svom dokumentarnom filmu iz 2003. godine S21: UBILAČKA MAŠINA CRVENIH KMERA fokusirao se na kampanju sistemskog istrebljenja protivnika koju je diktatorski režim Crvenih kmera sprovodio u periodu od 1975. do 1979. Panh je suosnivač Centra Bophana posvećenog arhiviranju kambodžanskog filmskog nasljeđa. Njegov dokumentarni film SLIKA KOJA NEDOSTAJE iz 2013. prikazan je u programu Un Certain Regard na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu, gdje je osvojio glavnu nagradu. E Meticulously, a man’s hands assemble a model house in which he places a saved treasure as in a shrine: a family photo. Thus begins a journey into pain. The screen is split into a triptych, giving rhythm to the images. Each tragedy is unique, but in the repetition of the images there is that dull noise from which there is no escape. IRRADIATED is made by people who have survived physical and psychological irradiation as a result of war, and is recommended to those who believe they are immune to it: “What it means to be a survivor cannot be put into words. To live on, to make contact with this irradiation, for which there may be no cause, no knowledge, but from which there is no protection. Evil radiates. It hurts – even later generations. But beyond this pain lies innocence.” (Phan)

Rithy Panh was born in 1964 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. He fled the Khmer Rouge dictatorship and came to Paris in 1980 where he studied at the Institut des Hautes Études Cinématographiques (now la Fémis). His 2003 documentary S21: THE KHMER ROUGE KILLING MACHINE addressed the Khmer Rouge’s policy of systematic extermination between 1975 and 1979. He is co-founder of the Centre Bophana, which is dedicated to archiving Cambodian film heritage. His 2013 documentary film THE MISSING PICTURE was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the top prize.

DEALING WITH THE PAST l 26. Sarajevo Film Festival 169


Nabarvené ptáce / Obojena ptica / The Painted Bird Zasnovan na istoimenom romanu Jerzyja Kosińskog, OBOJENA PTICA detaljan je crno-bijeli filmski portret divlje i primitivne istočne Evrope u krvavom finišu Drugog svjetskog rata. Film prati život Dječaka kojeg su njegovi progonjeni roditelji predali na staranje jednoj starici. Starica uskoro umire, a Dječak ostaje sam i luta od sela do sela u potrazi za utočištem. Dok se bori da preživi, Dječak je izložen iznimnoj brutalnosti praznovjernih seljaka i svjedoči stravičnim zločinima, kako ruskih tako i njemačkih vojnika. Kraj rata Dječak dočekuje nepovratno promijenjen. Václav Marhoul diplomirao je na Praškoj filmskoj akademiji. Nakon studija nekoliko godina je sarađivao s pozorišnom grupom Praških pet i udruženjem umjetnika Tvrdohlavi, kao i sa filmskim studijem Barrandov, gdje je 1984. počeo raditi kao asistent produkcije, da bi napredovao do pozicije zamjenika direktora produkcije. Kao producent radio je na filmovima reditelja Tomáša Vorela. Marhoul je 1997. osnovao kompaniju Silver Screen koja se prvenstveno bavi produkcijom igranih filmova. Kompanija je 2003. producirala dugometražni film SMART PHILIP, prvi na kojem je radio kao reditelj, a s kojim je osvojio nagrade brojnih filmskih festivala poput festivala u Houstonu. Nakon toga pisao je scenarij i pripremao svoj drugi dugometražni film TOBRUK, koji je 2008. bio nominovan za osam nagrada Lav Češke akademije za film i televiziju, između ostalih i za najbolju režiju, najbolji scenarij i najbolji film, te je nagrađen i na više međunarodnih filmskih festivala. E Based on the acclaimed novel by Jerzy Kosiński, THE PAINTED BIRD is a meticulous 35mm blackand-white evocation of wild, primitive Eastern Europe at the bloody close of World War II. The film follows the journey of the Boy, who has been entrusted by his persecuted parents to an elderly foster mother. The old woman soon dies and the Boy is on his own, wandering through the countryside, from village to farmhouse. As he struggles to survive, the Boy suffers the extraordinary brutality meted out by the superstitious peasants and he witnesses the terrifying violence of efficient, ruthless soldiers, both Russian and German. When the war ends, the Boy has been changed forever.

Václav Marhoul, after graduating from the Prague Film Academy, worked for several years with the Prague Five theatre group, the Tvrdohlaví artistic association and most significantly with Barrandov Film Studios, as production assistant starting in 1984 and later as deputy production manager. As a producer, he was most notably involved with the films of director Tomáš Vorel. In 1997, he founded Silver Screen, whose primary focus is the production of feature-length films. In 2003, his company created the film SMART PHILIP, which was Marhoul’s directorial debut and received awards from various festivals, including the Houston Film Festival. In the following years, he wrote the screenplay and prepared for his second feature-length film, TOBRUK, which received eight nominations in 2008 for the Czech Lion Awards of the Czech Film and Television Academy, including Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Film, as well as several awards at international festivals.

Služobníci / Sluge režima / Servants Godina je 1980. Michal i Juraj žive u sjemeništu i pohađaju teološku školu u totalitarnoj Čehoslovačkoj. Strahujući da će škola biti zatvorena, njihovi tutori odgajaju učenike na način koji će biti prihvatljiv vladajućoj Komunističkoj partiji. Svi mladi učenici moraju odlučiti da li žele izabrati lakši put i početi sarađivati sa režimom ili će radije živjeti pod drakonskim nadzorom tajne policije. Ivan Ostrochovský rođen je 1972. u Žilini, Slovačka. Režirao je nekoliko kratkih dokumentarnih filmova i serija, a zatim i svoj prvi dugometražni dokumentarac BARŠUNASTI TERORISTI s kojim je 2014. imao premijeru na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu i osvojio Nagradu čitalaca dnevnih novina Tagesspiegel. Njegov debitantski igrani film KOZA također je premijerno prikazan u Berlinu te je, odlukom direktora festivala, nominovan za nagradu za najbolji debitantski igrani film. Film je 2015. ušao i u uži izbor za nagradu Evropske filmske akademije te je bio i slovački kandidat za Oskara 2016. Ostrochovský je kao koscenarist filma CENSOR, posljednjeg filmskog projekta Petera Kerekesa predstavljenog u programima Works in Progress festivala u Karlovym Varyma i Odessi, osvojio nagrade za najbolji projekt. Njegov posljednji film SLUGE premijerno je prikazan u tek pokrenutom takmičarskom programu Encounters Filmskog festivala u Berlinu. E The year is 1980. Michal and Juraj are students at a theological seminary in totalitarian Czechoslovakia. Fearing the dissolution of the school, its tutors are molding the seminarians into a shape satisfactory to the ruling Communist Party. Each of the young students must decide if he will give in to temptation and choose the easier path of collaboration with the regime, or if he will subject himself to draconian surveillance by the secret police.

Ivan Ostrochovský was born in 1972 in Žilina, Slovakia. After making several documentary shorts and series, Ostrochovsky directed his feature-length documentary debut, VELVET TERRORISTS, which had its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2014, where it won the Tagesspiegel Readers’ Award. His feature-length narrative debut, GOAT, had its world premiere at the Berlinale in 2015, and was selected by the festival director to be a nominee for the Best First Feature Award. It was also shortlisted for the 2015 European Film Awards and was the Slovak entry to the Academy Awards for 2016. Ostrochovský is also the co-writer of CENSOR, the latest project by Peter Kerekes, which was presented in the Works in Progress sections of the Karlovy Vary and Odessa International Film Festivals, winning awards for best project at both. His latest film, SERVANTS, was presented as a world premiere in the brand-new Berlinale competition section Encounters.

DEALING WITH THE PAST l 26. Sarajevo Film Festival 171


What You Gonna do When the World’s on Fire? / Šta ćeš uraditi kada svijet počne da gori? Ljeto 2017. Serija ubistava mladih Afroamerikanaca šokira zemlju. Članovi afroameričke zajednice na jugu Amerike pokušavaju se nositi s dugoročnim posljedicama prošlosti i pronaći svoje mjesto u zemlji koja ne štiti njihove interese. U međuvremenu, Crni panteri pripremaju velike proteste protiv policijske brutalnosti. Roberto Minervini reditelj je rođen u Italiji, a živi i radi u Americi.

Dan ljudskih prava / Human Rights Day



Dan ljudskih prava / Human Rights Day Programme Ambasada Kraljevine Nizozemske u Bosni i Hercegovini i Sarajevo Film Festival, uz njegovo 26. izdanje, ulaze u drugu godinu saradnje na programu posvećenom ljudskim pravima. Iako je pandemija COVID-19 ove godine drastično uticala na naše živote, to ne znači da su ljudska prava prestala biti ugrožena ili da možemo odustati od našeg cilja da osiguramo njihovo veće poštivanje.

E With the 2020 edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the festival enter the second year of our partnership in the Human Rights programme. Although COVID-19 has drastically impacted all of our lives this year, this does not mean that human rights violations have disappeared, nor that our commitment to improve human rights conditions can or may be halted.

Zahvalan sam na odlučnosti i hrabrosti koju su organizatori Sarajevo Film Festivala pokazali kada su odlučili realizirati ovogodišnje izdanje uprkos globalnoj krizi, nesigurnosti i brojnim ograničenjima. Pandemija COVID-19 ozbiljno je zaprijetila zdravlju, pa čak i samoj egzistenciji filmske industrije, utičući na filmske festivale, filmsku produkciju, pripremna putovanja i brojne druge aspekte proizvodnje i distribucije filma. Sada je – više nego ikada – značajno da u našem radu budemo inovativni, izdržljivi i prilagodljivi. Raduje me što su naši partneri na zadatku unapređenja stanja ljudskih prava postigli upravo to, kao i da ćemo ponovo biti u prilici pogledati film posvećen ljudskim pravima i održati panel-diskusiju s mladim aktivistkinjama i aktivistima.

I am grateful to the organisers of the Sarajevo Film Festival for their determination and courage, to present this year’s edition in a time of crisis, uncertainty and all kinds of limitations. The COVID pandemic has created a very serious threat to the health and existence of the film industry, impacting festivals, film productions, research trips and many other aspects of the creation and distribution of films. Showing innovation, resilience and adaptability in our work is now more important than ever. I am very happy to see that our human rights partner has done exactly that, and that we will have the opportunity to watch a film about human rights and have a panel discussion with young activists.

Više nego bilo kada ranije naši životi se odvijaju u internetskom prostoru – od rada i sastanaka, do školovanja djece, proslava rođendana i godišnjica. Zbog toga, mladi ljudi i naša djeca na Internetu provode i više vremena nego prije. Iako virtuelni svijet otvara bezbroj mogućnosti i omogućava neograničen pristup znanju i informacijama, on ima i svoju mračnu stranu. On može biti mjesto gdje su najmlađi korisnici izloženi brojnim opasnostima, negativnim uticajima i izrazito lošim ljudima. Moramo biti svjesni ogromne odgovornosti koju imamo u zaštiti sigurnosti naše omladine i djece i sprečavanju zlonamjernih ljudi u pronalasku puta do njih. U saradnji s uglednim nizozemskim festivalom posvećenom ljudskim pravima Movies That Matter, na Dan ljudskih prava 2020. bavit ćemo se pitanjem sigurnosti djece i mladih u online prostoru. Zbog prethodno navedenih razloga, ovogodišnji festivalski program posvećen ljudskim pravima, u saradnji s ekspertima iz relevantnih oblasti života i institucija, bavit će se temom internetske sigurnosti, s ciljem da ona bude pokrenuta i u Bosni i Hercegovini i da se preduzmu koraci koji će virtuelni svijet učiniti sigurnijim za najmlađe. Moja zemlja je uložila mnogo i još uvijek ulaže dosta toga u postizanju tog cilja. Siguran sam da će, zahvaljujući našim zajedničkim naporima, nizozemska ekspertiza i iskustva biti iskorišteni da Internet učine sigurnijim i za mlade iz Bosne i Hercegovine. Želim vam da organizujete izvrstan SFF, kao i dobro zdravlje i sigurno surfanje.

More than ever before, our lives take place online – from our work and meetings, to our children’s schooling, to celebrations of birthdays and anniversaries. Part of this means that our youth and children spend even more time online. The online world, while it provides endless possibilities and access to knowledge and information, also has a dark side. It can be a place where the youngest of users can be exposed to many dangers, bad influences and very bad people. We must be aware that we carry a huge responsibility to protect them and to prevent those with evil intentions from finding a way to reach our youth and our children. In cooperation with the prominent Dutch human rights film festival Movies That Matter, on Human Rights Day 2020 we will deal with the subject of Internet safety for youth and children. For the reasons noted above, this year’s human rights programme will focus on this theme, involving experts from relevant fields and institutions and with the aim to raise this topic in Bosnia and Herzegovina and to make steps towards improving the protection of the youngest while they explore the online world. My country has invested a lot in this issue, and continues to do so, and I am certain that through this joint effort, Dutch expertise and experience will be shared and used to make the Internet a safer place for Bosnian youngsters. I wish you an excellent SFF, good health and safe surfing! Reinout Vos Ambasador Kraljevine Nizozemske u Bosni i Hercegovini / Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Bosnia and Herzegovina

HUMAN RIGHTS DAY l 26. Sarajevo Film Festival 177


V síti / Ulovljeni u mrežu / Caught in the Net Tri glumice, tri dječije sobe, 10 dana i 2458 seksualnih predatora. Eksperiment koji baca nužno svjetlo na tabu-temu zlostavljanja djece na internetu. Tri glumice starije od 18 godina, ali dječijeg izgleda, dobijaju zadatak da se na društvenim mrežama pretvaraju da su dvanaestogodišnjakinje. U filmskom studiju, u okruženju namještenom da izgleda poput dječijih soba, dopisuju se i putem Skypea razgovaraju s muškarcima različitih godina koji su ih pronašli i kontaktirali putem intereneta. Većina muškaraca od njih traži videoseks, šalju im fotografije svojih penisa ili linkove za pornografske sadržaje. Neki ih čak pokušavaju i ucjenjivati. Dokumentarni film prati reakcije glumica koje se pretvaraju da su dvanaestogodišnje djevojčice, od trenutka kada dođu na audiciju za film do trenutka kada se s predatorima susretnu licem u licem (pod budnim okom zaštitara i pred objektivima šest skrivenih kamera). Predatorske taktike postepeno se okreću protiv predatora, a lovci postaju lovina. Barbora Chalupová pripadnica je nove generacije mladih rediteljica. Njen studentski film THANK YOU, MELONIK ušao je u uži izbor za nagradu Magnesia za najbolji studentski film, a potom je prikazan na šestom Festivalu kratkog filma iShorts i na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Edinburghu. Njen naredni film ARMS READY nominovan je za nagradu “Pavel Koutecký” i prikazan u takmičarskoj konkurenciji Međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma u Jihlavi. Vít Klusák češki je filmski reditelj. S Filipom Remundom, Klusák je 2003. osnovao kompaniju Hypermarket Film. Dokumentarna komedija ČEŠKI SAN, zajednički projekt Klusáka i Remunda, osvojila je nagrade na više filmskih festivala u zemlji i inostranstvu, te je prikazana u programu 24 inostrane TV– –kuće. Klusákov dugometražni apsurdistički dokumentarac, ALL FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD AND NOSOVICE, osvojio je Nagradu filmskih kritičara i Nagradu teoretičara filma za najbolji dokumentarni film na dodjeli čeških filmskih nagrada Lav. E Three female actors, three children’s rooms, ten days and 2,458 sexual predators. An experiment that shines an urgent light on the taboo subject of the abuse of children on the Internet. Three overeighteen actors with very young appearances are tasked with pretending they are twelve-year-old girls on fake social media profiles. In faithful copies of children’s rooms created in a film studio they chat and Skype with men of all ages who have searched for and contacted them online. The vast majority of these men demand video sex and send photos of their penises or links to pornography. Some even attempt blackmail. This documentary delivers the gripping drama of the protagonists playing young girls, from casting to face-to-face meetings with predators (watched by security and six hidden cameras). Predatory tactics are gradually turned against perpetrators and hunters become hunted.

Barbora Chalupová is a director from the emerging young generation. Her work began with the student film THANK YOU, MELONIK, which was shortlisted for a Magnesia Award for Best Student Film and was later screened at the short film festival iShorts vol. 6 and at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Her next work, ARMS READY, was nominated for the Pavel Koutecký Prize and was in competition at the One World Film Festival and the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival. Vít Klusák is a Czech film director. Klusák and Filip Remunda set up Hypermarket Film. The documentary comedy CZECH DREAM by Klusák and Remunda won prizes at a number of domestic and international festivals and was broadcast by 24 foreign TV stations. Klusák’s feature-length absurd documentary ALL FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD AND NOSOVICE picked up the Film Critics’ and Theoreticians’ Prize for best documentary film (Czech Lion). 178 26.

Arturo ima gotovo 90 godina. Davno je ostao udovac i navikao je svoje penzionerske dane provoditi sam i bez obaveza: odlazi u šetnje, sjedi uz more, pretvara se da sluša radio. A onda jednog dana u novinama ugleda reklamu za fotografski aparat. Mogućnost da se iz hobija počne baviti fotografijom istog trenutka unosi tračak boje u sivilo njegovog života. Međutim, galeb kojeg je izabrao da mu bude model naizgled ima različitu ideju o tome kako savršena fotografija treba izgledati te se hobi, koji mu je trebao pomoći da prekrati vrijeme, pretvara u pravi mali poduhvat, sporog staračkog ritma, ali podjednako oslobađajući i čaroban kao ptičiji let. Luca Di Cecca radi kao 3D umjetnik u studiju Light and Color u Rimu. ARTURO I GALEB, u potpunosti računarski generisan animirani film napravljen uz pomoć Blender softvera, prvi je projekt koji potpisuje kao reditelj i producent. E Arturo is almost ninety years old. Widowed for a long time, the pensioner is used to spending his days alone without doing anything special: walking, sitting by the sea, pretending to listen to the radio. Then one day he sees a newspaper advertisement for cameras and, for a moment, the opportunity to devote himself to a hobby paints a different colour in the alleyways of his empty days. The seagull that he chooses as a subject, however, seems to have an entirely different idea about what constitutes perfect photography. What was born as a game to deceive the waiting, soon turns into a small enterprise that has the slow pace of age, but all the same urgency of freedom and fantasy as a bird’s flight. Luca Di Cecca works as a 3D artist at Light and Colour studio in Rome. ARTHUR AND THE SEAGULL, a full CGI animated movie made with Blender, is his first project as producer and director.

Visoko iznad tla ptičica uživa u cvijeću javorova drveta. Naravno, žarkocrvena lisica ubrzo kreće za ptičicom. Ovu izazivačicu nevolja prilično neugodno će iznenaditi susret s pčelinjom košnicom. Na kraju, ptičica je bogatija za jedno iskustvo i priređuje veselu dobrodošlicu svojim novim prijateljima. Lena von Döhren njemačka je animatorica, rediteljica i ilustratorica. Rođena je u Berlinu, a studirala je audiovizuelne komunikacije na Akademiji Gerrit-Rietveld u Amsterdamu, a zatim stekla i zvanje magistrice animacije na Univerzitetu za primijenjene nauke i umjetnosti u Lucernu. E High above, the small bird enjoys the blossoms of its maple tree. Of course, the fiery red fox is soon on the little bird’s tail. The final encounter with the beehive results into a rather unpleasant surprise for the troublemaker. In the end, the little bird is once again enriched with an experience and offers a colourful welcome to his new friends. Lena von Döhren is an animator, director and illustrator. She was born in Berlin and studied audio-visual communication in Amsterdam at the Gerrit-Rietveld Akademie. She then completed a Master’s degree in animation at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.

Marius radi sve što može da bi bio savršen. Kada njih dvoje upare da uče zajedno, Marius to doživljava kao priliku da svima još jednom pokaže kako je sjajan.

Szép csendben / U tišini / On the Quiet Osamnaestogodišnji Dávid svira prvu violinu u orkestru muzičkog konzervatorija. Njegov mentor i dirigent Frigyes nešto mu je poput očinske figure. Učenica prve godine Nóri pridružuje se orkestru na kraju školske godine. Frigyes joj posvećuje punu pažnju, što je čini nepopularnom među vršnjacima, ali Dávid uskoro otkriva da je čudni odnos četrnaestogodišnje djevojčice i šezdesetogodišnjeg dirigenta više od onoga što se čini na prvi pogled… Dok traga za istinom, suočen s teškom odlukom i nemarom društva, Dávid gubi kontrolu nad vlastitim životom. Zoltán Nagy mađarski je filmski reditelj rođen 1988.

His mentor and the conductor is Frigyes – who is a sort of father figure for Dávid. Nóri, a freshman student, joins the orchestra at the end of the school year. She enjoys Frigyes’s unlimited attention, which makes her unpopular among her peers, but Dávid soon finds out that the fourteen-year-old’s suspiciously close relationship with their sixt-year-old conductor is more than what it seems… While looking for the truth, Dávid’s life soon starts to spiral out of control as he faces tough decisions and the negligence of adult society.

Munir je pošteni taksista poznat po tome da drži do vlastitih principa i obećanja i da je uvijek spreman pomoći prijateljima u nevolji. Nakon dugog radnog dana Munir – koji je iznimno posvećen supruzi i djeci – žuri kući kako bi stigao na rođendansku proslavu svoje kćerke. Kada pored mračne ceste ugleda misterioznog muškarca, Munir je prisiljen na izbor između uloge dobrog Samarićanina i uloge dobrog oca, a odluka koju će donijeti zauvijek će mu promijeniti život. Ahmad Al-Sharif diplomirao je filmsku umjetnost. Samostalno je režirao i producirao nekoliko kratkih filmova prije nego što je karijeru producenta i reditelja nastavio u Doha Film Institutu. Doha Film Institut ga je 2015. izabrao da režira dugometražni dokumentarac DARI QATAR, prvi filmski autoportret Katara u kojem su korišteni videomaterijali koje su ustupili građani.

Priča o djevojci od keramike koja živi u malom neuglednom selu smještenom u dolini okruženoj visokim planinama. Jednog dana djevojka skuplja hrabrost za uspon na planinu, ali pada i lomi se u hiljadu komada. Izdiže se iz vlastitih krhotina i pretvara u vilu. Prelijeće planine i otkriva da je iza čeka jedan magični, živopisni svijet. Kholoud Al Ali jedna je od najpoznatijih katarskih umjetnica. Diplomirala je umjetnost na Univerzitetu u Kataru, a od 2007. radi za televizijske kanale Jeem i Baraem. Svoj prvi kratki film RED snimila je uz finansijsku podršku Katarskog filmskog fonda. LOMLJIVA je njen drugi kratki film.

E Munir is an honest taxi driver, known by the local community as being principled and trustworthy, always willing to lend a hand to friends in need. A loving father and husband, after a long day of work Munir is eager to make it home in time to celebrate his daughter’s birthday. But after a mysterious man appears on the side of a dark road, Munir is torn between being a good Samaritan or a good father – a choice that will change his life forever. Ahmad Al-Sharif graduated with a degree in film. Working independently, he directed and produced several shorts before joining the Doha Film Institute to continue his career as a producer and director. In 2015, he was selected by the Doha Film Institute to direct the feature documentary, DARI QATAR, a first-of-its-kind user-generated Qatari self-portrait film.

U brodogradilištima u Dohi, uz buku cirkularnih pila i teške mašinerije, ulazimo u svijet izgradnje dhow plovila. Prateći nastanak ovih brodova, koji se većinom i dalje prave ručno, a njihovi metalni dijelovi bespoštedno se kuju od metala izvučenih direktno iz kovačkih peći, ovaj meditativni film bez dijaloga gledaoce uvodi u svijet preciznog inžinjerstva i zanatskih vještina potrebnih za izgradnju najslavnijeg katarskog plovila. Dhabya Al-Muhannadi diplomirala je na Univerzitetu Northwestern 2018. Trenutno priprema svoj prvi igrani film DIKA’AN. E Deep in the shipyards of Doha, amid the whirring of table saws and heavy machinery, we enter the world of dhow construction. Primarily still crafted by hand, with the metalwork relentlessly hammered and worked straight from the furnace, this silent meditative film gives us a glimpse into the precision engineering and expert craftsmanship that is involved in the creation of Qatar’s most iconic seagoing vessel. Dhabya Al-Muhannadi graduated from Northwestern University in Qatar in 2018. She is currently developing her first narrative film, DIKA’AN.

E Ibrahim Sultani is a 22-year-old architecture major who has a hobby of painting portraits on banknotes. On them, he portrays Lebanese icons from the fields of music, cinema, sports, media, fashion and many more. Due to the current economic crisis in the country, Sultani hopes his work will give the currency back some of its lost value, at least metaphorically. Alessandra El Chanti is a student of media and communication at Northwestern University in Qatar. She is soon to graduate and has recently won the Dean’s Award, the highest form of recognition granted by NU-Q to a graduating senior.

U aprilu 1992. godine, brojna se porodica, razbacana po cijeloj Jugoslaviji, okuplja u Sarajevu oko odra stare majke. Baba nije dobro, ali se prognoza porodičnog ljekara da je njena smrt pitanje minuta, pretvara u sate, pa onda dane. Počinju spletke, prevare i trvenja oko nasljedstva koje će ostati iza starice, a naročito oko velike porodične kuće u Sarajevu. Baba i posljednim uzdasima svojski učestvuje u tome, a možda je upravo to i održava u životu. Intrige i spletkarenje na štetu jedne od sestara ovoj porodici su važnije od jasnih, zastrašujućih znakova nadolazeće kataklizme. Kada je, na koncu, prevara otkrivena, već je kasno. April 1992. Members of a large family strewn around the former Yugoslavia gather around the death bed of their elderly matriarch. She is not well, but the forecast of a family doctor that her death is a matter of minutes away proves incorrect, so the waiting stretches out for days. Relatives start bickering, playing tricks and arguing over the inheritance to be left by the old woman, especially over her large family house in Sarajevo. Despite her deteriorating health, Grandma happily joins the fray. It appears as if that might be what is keeping her alive. Family feuds and intrigues directed against one of the sisters are more important to the family than the clear, terrifying signs of an approaching cataclysm. When the scheming is finally revealed, it is too late.

Tokom njihova stvaralačkog života, popraćenog nemilosrdnom dramom prolaznosti, često se olovka obraća piscu, note kompozitoru, a četkica slikaru. U ovom se filmu kamera obraća režiseru koji vodi životnu bitku s rakom pluća i nostalgijom za zavičajem. During their creative life accompanied by the relentless drama of transience, more often than not, a pen turns to the writer, notes to the composer, and a brush to the painter. In this film, the camera turned to the director engaging in life’s battle with lung cancer, homeland, and nostalgia in front of it.

Provodeći nas među duhovima grada pod opsadom, PLANET SARAJEVO je jednako oda izvanrednom gradu koliko i istraživanje presjeka rata, identiteta i poezije. Više fragmentirana futuristička pjesma nego dokumentarac, film manje objašnjava događaje koji su se desili, a više istražuje afekte i emocije koje podstiče umjetnost zarobljena u krugu nasilja. Walking amongst the ghosts of a city under siege, PLANET SARAJEVO is just as much an ode to an extraordinary city as an investigation of the intersection between war, identity and poetry. More fragmented futurepoem than documentary, the film does less explaining of events transpired than explores affect and emotion conjured up by art trapped in a circle of violence.

Tomo je voditelj na Radiju Grude. U njegovu se emisiju javljaju uglavnom bake i djedovi, i to samo oni koji pjevaju gangu. Jedna od njegovih ljubimica je baka Ruža. Tomo ima još jednu zanimaciju: arhivira gange jer je svjestan da ganga izumire. Stoga želi da se ona stavi na listu nematerijalnih dobara UNESCO-a i odlučuje povesti grupu gangaša u Pariz, pred sjedište te organizacije, kako bi im zapjevali. Tomo is a host on Radio Grude. His show features mostly elders and only those who sing ganga. One of his favorites is Ruža. Tomo has another hobby: he archives the ganga because he is aware that it is dying out. He, therefore, wants the ganga to be placed on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage and decides to take the ganga group to Paris in front of the organization’s headquarters to sing to them.

ŠTA OSTAJE / RE-VISITED je ponovni susret s mjestima i krajolicima koji su već imali vodeću ulogu u filmu Clarisse Thieme ŠTA OSTAJE (prikazanom na Berlinaleu 2010): Mjesta ratnih zločina devedesetih u Bosni i Hercegovini. Deset godina kasnije Thieme se vraća njima – noseći ranije snimke. ŠTA OSTAJE / RE-VISITED je eksperimentalna filmska scenografija koja poziva na spontane interakcije lokalnog stanovništva. Rezultat je pažljiv pristup mjestima i ljudima, prožet pitanjima šta je bilo, šta jeste, i kako se o tome može govoriti. WHAT REMAINS / RE-VISITED is a re-encounter with the places and landscapes that already played the leading role in Thieme’s WHAT REMAINS (Berlinale 2010): Sites of War Crimes in the 1990s in Bosnia Herzegovina. Ten years later,Thieme returns to them – with those past recordings in tow. WHAT REMAINS / RE-VISITED is an experimental filmic setup that invites interactions from locals without forcing them. The result is a careful approach to the places as well as the people, permeated by the questions of what was, what is, and how one can speak about it.

U selu Kruševo Brdo ispod planine Vlašić, januara 2020. godine održana je druga “Burekijada”, takmičenje u spremanju bureka pod sačem. Manifestacija je okupila 30 takmičara, a više od 200 gostiju uživalo je u pripremljenim specijalitetima. Svi učesnici ovog takmičenja dobili su priznanja za pripremanje bureka na starinski način, a održana je i igra kapanja ili prstena. Takmičenje u igri kapanja ili prstena sastoji se od skrivanja prstena pod kapu ili čarapu. Pravila su jednostavna – ispod određenog para vunenih čarapa, priglavaka ili kapa krije se prsten. Jedna ekipa krije, a druga treba da pronađe gdje se nalazi prsten u prva dva otkrivanja. Ova drevna narodna igra široko je rasprostranjena kod svih naroda Bosne i Hercegovine. On the slopes of the Vlašić mountain in the village Kruševo Brdo, a second ‘Burekijada’ was held during January 2020. It is a competition in making burek under the bell. This manifestation gathered 30 competitors and hosted over 200 guests who had the pleasure of tasting these specialties. All of the participants have recieved recognitions for preparing burek ‘the old-fashioned way’ and have taken part in the Game of rings. The premise of the Game of rings is to hide the ring in some kind of a headwear or a sock. The rules are basic – the ring is hidden inside a certain pair of wool socks or a hat. One team is hiding it and the counter-team is supposed to find where the ring is withing the first two seekings. This ancient folk game is widely spread among all ethnicities of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Mlada žena putuje četiri dana sa svojim dečkom i njegovom porodicom. Putovanje provodi na zadnjem sjedištu automobila s majkom svog dečka, Melom. Konverzacija je spora, ponekad nepovezana – Mela po prirodi nije pričljiva. One ne govore istim jezikom, koriste mješavinu lošeg francuskog i španskog. Polako postaje očigledno da postoji više od puke jezičke barijere, nije sve onako kako se čini. Hanna je znala od početka, Mela ne. Santijeva majka ima Alzheimera. A young woman takes a road trip for four days with her boyfriend and his family. She spends the duration of the trip in the back seat of the car with her boyfriend’s mother, Mela. Conversation is slow, patchy at times - Mela isn’t naturally talkative. Neither is fluent in the same language, they communicate in a mix of broken French and Spanish. Slowly, it becomes apparent that there’s more than just a language barrier, all is not what it seems. Hanna has known from the beginning, Mela doesn’t. Santi’s mother has Alzheimer’s.

“Dovoljno mi je bilo misliti i dan i noć o tebi.” Film prati Enu, koja otkriva ljubavna pisma svojih roditelja. Dopisivanje je trajalo dok su u ratu bili razdvojeni, na najbeznadežnijem mjestu na svijetu – zaraćenoj Bosni i Hercegovini. Ena se putovanjem u Grad iz djetinjstva, Pustograd, prisjeća skoro nemoguće ljubavi svojih roditelja. Kada je počeo rat u Mostaru, Enini roditelji, bračni par različitih nacionalnosti, sklanjaju se od rata iz Mostara u Pustograd gdje Enin otac biva odveden u zatočeništvo. Ena i njena majka ostaju izgubljene, same u svijetu. Žive u strepnji, ne znajući da li je njihova druga polovica mrtva ili živa. Šest mjeseci nakon odlaska Eninog oca, Ena i majka dobivaju prvo pismo. Pismo dolazi neadresirano, nepoznatim putevima. Tad počinje njihovo razmjenjivanje pisama; prolaze mjeseci a da se ne čuju, u kojima Ena i majka sve vrijeme strepe nad njegovim životom. “It was enough for me to think day and night about you.” Ena discovers her parent’s love letters. They sent each other letters while they were separated in the war, in the most hopeless place in the world Bosnia and Herzegovina. She goes on a trip to the City from her childhood “Pustograd” and she recalls the almost impossible love of her parents. When the war in Mostar begin, Ena’s parents, a married couple of different nationalities, moved away from the war from Mostar to Pustograd where Ena’s father is taken into captivity. Ena and her mother are left alone in the world. They live in anxiety and fear, not knowing if their other half is dead or alive. Six months after Ena’s father is taken, Ena and her mother receive the first letter. The letter comes in unaddressed, unfamiliar way. That is the start of their exchange of letters; months go by when they cannot hear from each other, while Ena and her mother tremble for his life.
