Dobrodošli na 29. Sarajevo Film Festival / Welcome to the 29th Sarajevo Film Festival

29. izdanje Sarajevo Film Festivala nastavlja ispunjavati koncept festivala – prikazati najkvalitetnije filmove i serije publici i biti platforma za razvoj regionalne kinematografije. Festivalski program uključuje preko 220 filmova iz cijelog svijeta, od čega 49 premijerno prikazanih filmova iz naše regije u četiri takmičarske selekcije čine Sarajevo Film Festival najvećom prezentacijom kinematografija Jugoistočne Evrope na svijetu. Šta novo donosi predstojeće izdanje Sarajevo Film Festivala? Programski imamo nekoliko novina. Open Air program, pored tradicionalno najširem krugu publike zanimljivih naslova iz cijeloga svijeta, od ove je godine proširen na veći broj filmova i dodatno fokusiran na domaći film posebnom selekcijom u Ljetnom kinu Stari Grad. Summer Screen i Kinoscope programi su rekalibrirani i, dok Summer Screen donosi panoramu najboljih svjetskih arthouse filmova prvog dijela godine, Kinoscope istražuje nove tendencije svjetske kinematografije. Ove godine imamo i jednu važnu obljetnicu vezanu za same početke Sarajevo Film Festivala. Festival ima svoje korijene u brojnim filmskim programima koje je Obala Art Centar organizovala za vrijeme opsade Sarajeva od 1992. do 1995. godine, poznatih kao „Prvo ratno kino Apollo“. Unatoč izazovnim okolnostima, ovo kino pružalo je očajnički potrebno osvježenje stanovnicima koji su izdržali troipogodišnju opsadu. Kino, smješteno u podrumu Akademije scenskih umjetnosti, uvijek je bilo prepuno ljudi, bez obzira na rizike koje bi preuzimali da bi do njega stigli usred snajpera i granatiranja. Zahvaljujući širokoj podršci međunarodne filmske zajednice, različiti filmski programi i retrospektive velikih festivala poput Edinburga i Locarna održavani su neprekidno od februara 1993. do decembra 1995. godine, što je 1995. i dovelo do osnivanja Sarajevo Film Festivala kakvog ga poznajemo danas. Ove godine obilježavamo 30. godišnjicu Prvog ratnog kina Apollo i, kako bismo proslavili tu historiju i sam festival, organiziramo retrospektivu nekih od omiljenih filmova koji su bili prikazivani za vrijeme opsade. Retrospektiva će se održati baš u istom podrumu gdje je sve počelo prije 30 godina, pružajući iz današnje perspektive jedinstveni pogled na prošlost. Film otvaranja je također vezan za prošlost grada, ali, kao što i sam naslov kaže, okrenut je ka tome što donosi budućnost. Festival otvara „Kiss the Future“ („Poljubite budućnost“), dokumentarni film o tome kako je jedan čovjek, uz pomoć nekoliko prijatelja, usred rata iz opkoljenog Sarajeva uspio pridobiti pažnju najvećeg rock-banda na svijetu i dovesti građane opkoljenog grada na Zoo TV turneju U2, a zatvara „Club Zero“, novi film Jessice Hausner, rediteljice kojoj je ove godine upriličena i retrospektiva ranijih filmova u sklopu programa Posvećeno. Javna predavanja u programu Masterclass održat će Mark Cousins, Lyne Ramsey, Charlie Kauffman i Jessica Hausner. CineLink dani filmske industrije, Talents Sarajevo, Nagrade za TV serije, konferencijski program, pretpremijere i premijere regionalnih i domaćih filmova i serija i brojni svjetski naslovi koje će publika imati priliku pogledati u kinima širom Sarajeva, ali i u Tuzli i Mostaru, te u cijeloj BiH putem VoD platforme festivala, sigurni smo da će i ovogodišnji Sarajevo Film Festival učiniti jedinstvenim praznikom filmske i televizijske umjetnosti za cijeli grad, državu i region. Ovakav festival moguć je jedino uz svesrdnu podršku naših sponzora, pokrovitelja i partnera – velikog broja privatnih i javnih preduzeća, institucija vlasti Bosne i Hercegovine, institucija kulture u BiH, domaćih i međunarodnih fondacija, medija, stranih ambasada u Bosni i Hercegovini koje dijele naše vrijednosti i želju da se Sarajevo Film Festival razvija kao vrhunski međunarodni kulturni događaj širokog ekonomskog i društvenog uticaja za Sarajevo i Bosnu i Hercegovinu. Zahvalni smo im na tome. Zahvaljujemo se i svim prijateljima festivala i svim posvećenim ljudima koji rade na organizaciji festivala, bilo kroz cijelu godinu ili samo u periodu neposrednog održavanja festivala. Njihova ljubav prema filmu i želja da festival uspije je stvarna tajna uspjeha festivala. Našoj publici i gostima i ove godine želimo dobrodošlicu i trenutke za pamćenje na 29. Sarajevo Film Festivalu! E The 29th edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival remains faithful to the event’s

now well-established concept: to screen the best films and drama series for our audiences and to serve as a platform for the development of film produc-

tion in our region. The slate of more than 220 films from around the world, including forty-nine premieres from our region and distributed across four competitive programmes, is what makes the Sarajevo Film Festival the world’s greatest showcase of film and television produced in South-East Europe. What’s new in this forthcoming edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival? There are a few programming changes. The Open Air programme has been expanded so that, in addition to the best new movies by international filmmakers which are the biggest draw for the audience, it will also include a segment focused on locally produced films that will be screened at the Old Town Summer Screen cinema. The Summer Screen and Kinoscope sections have been recalibrated so that the Summer Screen will offer a slate of the year’s best art-house films, while Kinoscope will explore emerging trends in the world of cinema. We celebrate an important anniversary from before the dawn of the Sarajevo Film Festival. The festival is rooted in numerous film screenings and events that were staged by the Obala Art Centre during the Siege of Sarajevo from 1992 to 1995 at the Cinema Apollo. Despite those challenging times, what was collectively known as the first wartime movie theatre offered a desperately needed break from reality to the residents of Sarajevo, who endured the siege of their city for three-and-a-half years. The cinema, located in the basement of the Sarajevo Academy of Performing Arts, was always packed despite the risks moviegoers had to take to reach it in a city under almost constant sniping and mortar fire. With the strong support of the international film community, various film programmes and retrospectives of the selections of top international festivals, such as those of Edinburgh and Locarno, were staged in Sarajevo without interruption from February 1993 to December 1995, giving rise in 1995 to the Sarajevo Film Festival as we now know it. This year, we mark the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Cinema Apollo. To celebrate that historic moment and the festival itself, we will showcase the favourite films that were screened in besieged Sarajevo. The films will be screened in the same basement where everything started thrity years ago to offer a unique glimpse into the past. This year’s opening film also relates to Sarajevo’s past but, as its name suggests, with a focus on the future. The festival kicks off with KISS THE FUTURE, a documentary about a man in war-time Sarajevo who, with the help of a few friends, managed to get the attention of one of the world’s biggest rock ‘n’ roll bands, U2, who included the people of the besieged city in its Zoo TV tour. The festival closes with CLUB ZERO, a new film by Jessica Hausner, whose body of work is presented in this year’s Tribute To programme. Mark Cousins, Lynne Ramsey, Charlie Kauffman, and Jessica Hausner will give public talks as part of our Masterclass programme. CineLink Industry Days, Talents Sarajevo, our TV Drama Series Awards, conference programmepre-premieres and premieres of new national, regional, and international films in cinemas around Sarajevo, as well as in Mostar and Tuzla, that are also accessible throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina on the festival’s VoD platform are certain to make the 2023 edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival a unique celebration of film and television art in our city, our country, and our region. Organising a festival like ours is only possible through the generous support of our sponsors, patrons, and partners, including numerous private and public companies, government institutions, and cultural bodies of Bosnia and Herzegovina, local and international foundations, the media, and international embassies in Sarajevo, who share our values and our desire for the Sarajevo Film Festival to continue its development as a prime culture event with strong economic and social impact on Sarajevo and on Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole. We are grateful for their support. We also wish to thank all the friends of the festival and all others who help put it together, either by working on its organisation all year round or in the pre-Festival period. Their love of film and their desire to stage a great festival is the real secret of the event’s success. Once again, we wish to welcome our audiences and guests in the hope that the 29th Sarajevo Film Festival will deliver some memorable moments!

Nakon nekoliko pandemijskih godina, čini se da regionalna kinematografija doživljava svojevrstan procvat. U pogledu količine filmove, ova godina nadmašila je i predpandemijsku 2019. No ono što je suštinski važno jeste da su filmovi sve kvalitetniji i zbog toga je bilo izazovno raditi ovogodišnju selekciju. Pitanje pred kojim smo se našli bilo je šta je danas važno da se kaže i kako. Živimo u izuzetno turbulentnim vremenima i to osjećanje je, nažalost, globalno. Ovogodišnja selekcija slika je globalnog duha vremena u kojem živimo. Ono što karakterizira ovu selekciju su izuzetno jaki junaci i junakinje, kao i način na koji nam autori bez imalo zadrške dozvoljavaju da im se približimo. Ne postoji distanciranost, nego smo potpuno emotivno uvučeni u svaku pojedinačnu priču junaka filmova u ovogodišnjoj selekciji. Predstavljamo osam filmova u konkurenciji, dva filma izvan konkurencije koji će imati svoje Gale u okviru programa te specijalnu projekciju tv serije RUMI. Tu su ukupno četiri debitantska filma, te filmovi pet reditelja i pet rediteljica. Imamo autore koji se vraćaju u Takmičarski program poput Vladimira Perišića s filmom LOST COUNTRY, Sudabeh Mortezai s filmom EUROPOM; autore koje znamo iz drugih selekcija poput Une Gunjak (EKSKURZIJA) i Tudora Giurgiua (LIBERTATE), ali i neka imena koja znamo iz vrha regionalne kinematografije poput Dragana Bjelogrlića koji će predstaviti novi film ČUVARI FORMULE. Tu su i neka nova imena poput Andrea Tanasea (TIGRICA), Philipa Sotnychenka (LA PALISIADA) i Christine Ioakeimidi (MEDIUM), koji uz Unu Gunjak i njenu EKSKURZIJU čine ovogodišnje debitante. Tu su i autorice koje ranije nismo prikazivali u Sarajevu poput Sofie Exarchou (ŽIVOTINJA) i Elena Naveriani (KOS KOS KUPINA). Sve skupa predstavljamo tri svjetske, jednu međunarodnu i sedam regionalnih premijera. Selekcija je izuzetno uzbudljiva, eklektična i raznovrsna. Filmovi se bave aktuelnim temama bez obzira što nas neke od njih vraćaju u ne tako daleku prošlost. LIBERTATE Tudora Giurgiua prikazije jednu od omiljenih tema savremene rumunjske kinematografije: revoluciju iz 1989. godine. Ovaj film donosi novi pogled na revoluciju gdje se stvari možda po prvi put ne posmatraju isključivo iz jednog ugla. Sada već iskusni reditelj Giurgiu predstavlja pluralnost u tačkama gledišta koje nas polako vode prema ideji filma, a to je da ne postoji samo jedna istina. Drugi film koji se dešava u prošlosti je drugi igrani film dobitnika Srca Sarajeva Vladimira

30 29. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – IGRANI FILM

Perišića LOST COUNTRY. Ovaj film donosi priču o odrastanju koje je samo po sebi kompleksno, a osobito u trenucima političkih previranja. Film prikazuje potresnu priču s izuzetno kompleksnim odnosom između sina i politički angažirane majke, ali angažirane na izborima 1996. godine u Srbiji. LA PALISIADA je također angažiran film koji predstavlja jedno vrijeme i jednu političku datost i to u Ukrajini. Debitant Philip Stonychenko nas vraća u 1996. godinu, pet godina nakon osamostaljenja Ukrajine, i donosi priče dva inspektora, njihovih porodica, ali prije svega govori o postsovjetskoj opresiji i otuđenju. Film TIGRICA, debitanta Andrea Tanase,usredsređuje se više na ženske likove. U TIGRICI pratimo veterinarku koja radi za zoološki vrt. Tokom jednog dana otkrit će da je vara muž dok će istovremeno opasna tigrica pobjeći iz zoološkog vrta. U potrazi za tigricom, mora se suočiti sa svim svojim strahovima iz privatnog, ali i poslovnog života. EUROPA je treći film austrijsko-iranske rediteljice Sudabeh Mortezai, s kojim se po drugi put takmiči za Srce Sarajeva. Radnja filma u potpunosti je smještena u Albaniji, a prati glavnu junakinju Austrijanku koja je poslana da ispred jedne korporacije nagovori stanovnike zabačenog albanskog sela da prodaju zemlju. Rediteljica tematizira brojne teme koje more današnju Evropu te postavlja i jedno intimno pitanje šta je uopće sreća. Grčki film MEDIUM prvi je film rediteljice Christine Ioakeimidi koji donosi priču o šesnaestogodišnjoj djevojci koja sa sela odlazi u Atinu u posjetu sestri u odmakloj trudnoći. Tamo upoznaje misterioznog susjeda koji će je uvući u fascinatni svijet odraslih a ona će otkriti sebe kroz žestinu prve ljubavi u ovom vizualno snažnom filmu o odrastanju. ŽIVOTINJA, drugi film grčke rediteljice Sofie Exarchou, također govori o ženi, ali ovaj put ženi koja u kasnim četrdesetim radi kao animatorica u jednom turističkom naselju. Film prikazuje život animatora na sceni i iza scene i pokazuje kako je igrati različite uloge i izvoditi program s punom energijom i onda kada te energije nema. KOS KOS KUPINA, gruzijske rediteljice Elene Naveriani, prikazan je izuzetno uspješno u programu 15 dana autora Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, a također se bavi ženom u četrdesetim. Stoički neovisna glavna junakinja doživljava svojevrsno buđenje tokom afere s lokalnim dostavljačem, što mijenja njen život iz temelja.

Prikazat ćemo i dva filma izvan konkurencije. Radi se o debitantskom filmu EKSKURZIJA, dobitnice Srca Sarajeva za najbolji kratki film Une Gunjak. Ovaj film govori o tinejdžerki koja se uplete u vlastitu mrežu laži zbog pritiska vršnjaka i upravo na taj način pokazuje kako je to odrastati danas. Film je premijerno prikazan na festivalu u Locarnu, baš kao i drugi film izvan konkurencije ČUVARI FORMULE reditelja Dragana Bjelogrlića. Ovaj film inspirisan je istinitom pričom o grupi jugoslovenskih naučnika koji su zbog tajnog zračenja poslani u Francusku na liječenje. Sa ovih deset naslova Sarajevo Film Festival zasigurno donosi najrecentnije, najuzbudljivije ako ne i najbolje filmove regije.

E After several years of the COVID-19 pandemic, filmmaking in our region is blossoming. In terms of the number of films produced, this year surpassed the output of 2019 before the world went into lockdown. Most importantly, however, the quality of films from our region continues to increase. So, selecting films for the 2023 edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival’s Competition Programme – Feature Film has been very challenging. The most significant questions we faced were, “What is important to say? and How should it be said?” We live in turbulent times and, unfortunately, a sense of gloom pervades the world. What is true about the line-up of films we have chosen is that it reflects their makers’ view of not just our region, but also the world at large. As such, while the programme comprises a selection of regional films, it captures the global Zeitgeist. What characterises this slate of films is its introduction of some very strong characters, and that their makers have chosen to provide close, unrestricted access to them. There is no distance; the protagonists of these films force the viewer to become emotionally invested in their stories.

We present ten films in 2023: eight in competition, and two that are presented as out-of-competition gala screenings, as well as the special screening of the television series RUMI. Half the films are directed by women, half by men, and the line-up includes four feature directorial debuts. Some filmmakers are returnees to the competition – Sudabeh Mortezai with EUROPE and Vladimir Perisić with LOST COUNTY. Some have seen their work presented in the past in other programmes of this festival, such as Una

Gunjak and Tudor Giurgiu, who attend this year with EXCURSION and LIBERTATE, respectively; some are major regional filmmakers, such as Dragan Bjelogrlić, who presents his latest film, GUARDIANS OF THE FORMULA. There are also some new names: Andrei Tanase is here with DAY OF THE TIGER, Philip Sotnychenko with LA PALISIADA, and Christine Loakeimidi with MEDIUM – along with Gunjak, Loakeimidi makes her debut this year. Established filmmakers whose work has not previously been presented in Sarajevo include Sofia Exarchou (ANIMAL) and Elena Naveriani (BLACKBIRD BLACKBIRD BLACKBERRY). Overall, the programme includes two world, one international, and severn regional premieres. The 2023 line-up is particularly exciting, eclectic, and varied. The films explore contemporary topics despite the fact that some of them take us back to the not-so-distant past. This is true of Giurgiu’s LIBERTATE, which deals with one of the favoured topics of modern Romanian cinema: the Romanian Revolution of 1989. LIBERTATE offers a new look at that seminal event – perhaps the first that is not one-sided. An experienced director, Giurgiu presents a plurality of views, slowly guiding the viewer to the central idea of his film: that there is no monolithic truth. Another film set in the past is LOST COUNTRY, the second feature by Heart of Sarajevo recipient Perisić. Set in Serbia in 1996, the film follows the very moving story of the highly complex relationship between a son and his politically active mother. Transitioning into adulthood is always complicated, but it is particularly so when it takes place amidst political turmoil, as is the case for this film’s protagonist. LA PALISIADA is another socially engaged film that focuses on a specific time and a particular political reality in Ukraine. Debut filmmaker Philip Stonychenko takes us back to 1996, five years after Ukraine gained its independence from the USSR. The film follows the stories of two inspectors and their families but is primarily a story about post-Soviet oppression and alienation. Tanase’s debut feature DAY OF THE TIGER centres on female characters. It follows a vet who works at a local zoo. In one day, she finds out her husband is cheating on her and a dangerous tigress escapes from the zoo. While searching for the tigress, she is forced to face her fears, both private and professional.

EUROPE is the third feature film by AustrianIranian director Mortezai and her second in competition for a Heart of Sarajevo. The film is set in Albania and follows an Austrian who has been sent by a corporation to talk the residents of a remote Albanian village into selling their land. The director touches upon many issues that burden Europe at present and poses an intimate question: What, really, is happiness? MEDIUM, the first feature film by Greek director Loakeimidi, is the story of a sixteen-year-old village girl on a visit to her heavily pregnant sister in Athens. There, the girl meets a mysterious neighbour who draws her into his fascinating grown-up world, and sets her on a journey of self-discovery through the ferocity of first love. ANIMAL, by Greek director Exarchou, is another story about a woman but in this case, the protagonist is in her late forties and works as an entertainer at a holiday resort. The film presents the life of entertainers on- and offstage, showing how it feels to play different roles full of energy even when the performers have none. BLACKBIRD, BLACKBIRD, BLACKBERRY by Georgian director Naveriani had its premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Festival de Cannes, and also focuses on a woman in her forties. Over the course of an affair with a local delivery man, the fiercely independent protagonist experiences a kind of awakening that completely changes her life. Besides these eight films in competition, a further two are screened out of competition. One is EXCURSION, the debut feature by Gunjak, who previously won the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Short Film. The film shows how growing up feels nowadays through the story of a teenager who, due to peer pressure, becomes entangled in a web of her own lies. Before its presentation in Sarajevo, the film had its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival, as well as the second outof-competition film, GUARDIANS OF THE FORMULA by Dragan Bjelogrlić. Inspired by real-life events involving a group of Yugoslav scientists who were sent to France for medical treatment after being exposed to a dangerous dose of radiation while working on a secret project. With these ten titles, the Sarajevo Film Festival brings the most recent, the most exciting and possibly even the best films produced in our region to our audience.

Europa Beate je ambiciozna menadžerica zaposlena u misterioznoj korporaciji EUROPA koja planira proširiti poslovanje na područje Balkana. Dok navodno promovišu filantropiju i investicije u nerazvijena područja, Europa zapravo nastoji otkupiti zemlju od stanovnika jedne zabačene doline u južnoj Albaniji, a Beate, kao glavna pregovaračica, rukovodi tom nedefinisanom misijom.

COMPETITION PROGRAMME – FEATURE FILM l 29. Sarajevo Film Festival 39

Čuvari formule / Guardians of the Formula U jeku hladnoratovske krize grupa naučnika u Institutu Vinča sprovodi tajni projekat koji predvodi profesor Dragoslav Popović. Sticajem nepredviđenih okolnosti, oni bivaju izloženi smrtonosnoj dozi zračenja, zbog čega ih jugoslovenska tajna policija odvodi na liječenje u Kliniku Curie u Parizu. Francuski doktorski tim na čelu sa profesorom Žoržom Mateom zaključuje da je njihovo stanje kritično i da su im dani odbrojani. Iako je profesor Mate cijeli svoj život posvetio borbi protiv nuklearnog naoružanja i duboko prezire projekat na kojem su radili jugoslovenski naučnici, on predlaže da se po prvi put u historiji izvede delikatna i neizvjesna intervencija zamjene koštane srži ozračenih pacijenata. Da li je u pitanju eksperiment nad živim ljudima, ili on zaista želi da im pomogne – postaje mučno pitanje za jugoslovenske naučnike. Dragan Bjelogrlić je jedan od najvećih srpskih glumaca, reditelja i producenata. Igrao je u skoro 40 filmova, dvadesetak televizijskih serija i drama, te pozorišnih predstava.

Prvi film koji je producirao bio je LEPA SELA, LEPO GORE. Nastavio je svoj umjetnički rad kao reditelj i postigao veliki uspjeh režijom igranog filma i TV-serije MONTEVIDEO, BOG TE VIDEO. Posljednjih godina postavio je nove standarde u proizvodnji TV-serija veoma uspješnim serijalom SENKE NAD BALKANOM, čija je druga sezona postala prva srpska TVserija emitovana na Amazon Primeu. E At the height of the Cold War, a group of scientists from the Vinca Institute work on a secret project supervised by Professor Dragoslav Popović. In a twist of fate, they are exposed to a deadly dose of radiation and taken by Yugoslav secret police for treatment at the Institut Curie Hospital in Paris. Led by Professor Georges Mathé, a team of French doctors concludes that the scientists’ situation is critical and that their days are numbered. Although Professor Mathé has dedicated his life to the fight against nuclear weapons and despite despising the project the Yugoslav scientists were working on, he suggests performing the first ever bone-marrow graft on them, a delicate and risky procedure. The Yugoslav scientists confront a fraught question: Is professor Mathé suggesting experimentation on humans or truly trying to help them?

Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi / Rumi U Konji, koja je u 13. vijeku bila glavni grad Seldžučke države, živio je Mevlana Dželaludin Rumi, veliki islamski filozof, mistik i pjesnik, koji je propovijedao: „Poslušajte naše priče o ljudskosti“. Serija prati život ove izuzetne ličnosti, društvene i političke događaje toga vremena, uključuje njegovu poeziju, aforizme i njegovo bezvremeno i danas aktuelno remek-djelo „Mesneviju“. Njegova potraga za istinom i krepošću, za kojima ljudi i danas čeznu, duboka mudrost koju je postigao u toj časnoj potrazi, kao i njegovo uranjanje u duboke slojeve bića, ovu seriju čine epskom vizuelnom poslasticom. Can Ulkay je diplomirao na Odsjeku za film i televiziju Fakulteta likovnih umjetnosti Univerziteta Marmara. Radio je u istanbulskom studiju Turske državne televizije (TRT). Tokom trideset godina karijere režirao je preko 1.000 reklama za vodeće turske brendove. Nedavno je okončao snimanje biografske serije RUMI na kojoj je radio od 2021. Serija u 30 epizoda promovisat će pokretanje nove TRT-ove digitalne platforme. Njegov film AJLA: KĆI RATA (2017) bio je turski kandidat za Oskara u kategoriji za najbolji strani film. Film je prikazan na brojnim festivalima širom svijeta i osvojio je preko 30 nagrada. Ulkay je režirao originalni film za Netflix PAPIRNI ŽIVOTI prikazan širom svijeta 2021. Sedmicama nakon prikazivanja, film se zadržao na listi 10 najgledanijih naslova u 62 zemlje na 5 kontinenata. E In Konya, the thirteenth-century capital of the Seljuk State, there lived a man, Mawlana Jalal alDin Rumi, the great Islamic scholar, mystic, and poet, who preached, ‘Hearken to us for the story of humanity.’ This series tells the story of this exceptional person and the social and political events of the time; narrates his poetry, his aphorisms, and, of course, his immortal masterpiece, the Masnavi, which is still relevant today. Rumi’s search for truth and verity, two things still yearned for, the profound wisdom he reached through this sublime pursuit, and his journey to the inner layers of the self make the show an epic visual feast.

Can Ulkay is a graduate of the Cinema-TV Department, Fine Arts Faculty at Marmara University, and worked at the Istanbul Studios of Turkish State Television. Over the course of thirty years, he has directed more than one thousand commercials for hundreds of leading brands in Türkiye and around the world. He began shooting the biographical series RUMI in 2021. The thirty-episode series will promote the launch of the new digital platform of the Turkish state television channel, TRT. His 2017 dramatic film AYLA: THE DAUGHTER OF WAR was a candidate for Türkiye’s submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. He has won more than thirty awards and his work has been selected for screenings around the world. His PAPER LIVES, a Netflix Original film, was released worldwide in 2021 and remained on the top ten lists of sixty-two countries on five continents for several weeks.

Uvod / Introduction S ponosom predstavljamo dvadeset filmova u takmičarskom programu, sve odreda vrsno ostvarena djela ne samo formalno i tematski nego i hrabro, konfrontirajuće i nadasve stilski odvažno. Sadržinski gledano, selekcija je eklektična, i to baš u doslovnom smislu grčkog pojma eklektikos, što znači birati najbolje. Od oko 230 filmova pristiglih na selekciju, za naših trinaest takmičarskih projekcija odabrana su djela koja po mnogočemu ostaju urezana u sjećanje.

Rada Šešić

Posebno oduševljavaju autori koji su uspjeli da osobne zapise i sjećanja transponuju u kolektivno i time podignu smisao individualnog i doživljajnog na nivo univerzalnog. Autori nas tako uspijevaju uvući u vrlo složene životne situacije i dotiču kompleksnost različitih životnih pojmova poput ljubavi i mržnje, zla i zločina, dramu odnosa unutar obitelji, kao i filozofska razmišljanja o religiji, smislu života, potrazi za pravdom. Filmovi su u mnogočemu inspirativni za gledatelje – čak i kada iznose vrlo traumatične istine, u sebi nose energiju pozitivnosti. Ono što je osobito vrijedno u svakom od filmova jeste autorski pečat, osobni ugao gledanja reditelja, koji je često i pripovjedač i istraživač, mislilac i poeta. Autori razmišljaju izvan limita tradicionalne forme – imamo filmove koji su krajnje konceptualno zamišljeni i minuciozno, do najsitnijeg detalja, ostvareni, filmove u kojima je kamera korištena kao slikarska kičica, filmove koji istražuju nove forme pripovijedanja pomoću vrlo inventivne upotrebe digitalnog jezika. Imamo nekoliko vrsnih filmova koji znalački prepliću različite discipline: socijalne medije i film, slikarstvo i pokretne slike, igranu i dokumentarnu teksturu, animaciju, grafičke intervencije unutar slike. Autori odvažno eksperimentiraju i pomiču granice uobičajenog i očekivanog. I upravo taj postmodernistički pristup posuđivanja stilskih obilježja iz različitih umjetničkih disciplina i stvaranja vlastitog izražajnog jezika, odlika je nekolicine novih autora koji donose svježinu i originalnost. Između ostalog, to je jedna od vrlina koja dosta visoko pozicionira naše autore na sceni svjetske dokumentarističke proizvodnje. Zanimljivo je da filmovi koji govore o ratu i posljedicama rata, o grozotama koje je čovjek

44 29. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – DOKUMENTARNI FILM

čovjeku u stanju činiti, ne ulaze u grupu filmova koji imaju svoju agendu ili su na rubu propagande o ljudskim pravima s očekivanim i često već viđenim ishodom. Sve su to mahom kreativna, inspirativna, vrlo rafinirano ostvarena filmska djela koja nas tokom doživljaja u kino sali uvode u dugotrajan proces refleksije koji će se desiti nakon gledanja filma. Zamjetno je da je prošlogodišnje uvođenje nagrade Srce Sarajeva za najbolji kratki dokumentarni film stimuliralo i vrlo mlade autore, ali i veterane, da se hrabro upuste u ovu uzbudljivu i potentnu filmsku formu. Nisu to više samo kratke dokumentarne priče, to su sada istinske dokumentarističke bravure, originalne forme unutar kojih autori često eksperimentirajući istražuju granice samog filmskog formata. Izgleda da je kratka forma doživjela veliki kvalitativni skok. O rodnoj zastupljenosti unutar dokumentarnog programa ne trebamo posebno brinuti jer u ovogodišnjoj selekciji deset autorica potpisuju filmska ostvarenja od ukupno dvadeset selektiranih filmova. Zanimljivo je da su u produkciji zastupljene većinom žene, a poznato je da je dokumentarni film u regiji uglavnom niskobudžetan i da iziskuje ogromno umijeće i istrajnost da se filmovi, čija snimanja često traju i po deset i više godina, uspiju završiti. Naša redovna seansa razgovora autora sa publikom u kinosali nakon samog filma, koja je za svaki a osobito za dokumentarni film od izuzetne važnosti, nastavlja se na festivalskom trgu svakog dana na našem već tradicionalnom Docu Press Corneru. Svi autori će biti prisutni na festivalu, neki čak dovode velike ekipe, a mnogi i junake iz filmova. Sve to obećava dirljive susrete i zanimljive filmske razgovore. Naš program otvaramo ukrajinskim filmom MI NEĆEMO NESTATI nadarene Alise Kovalenko, autorice koja je tokom užasnog rata u Ukrajini u jednom trenutku izgubila vjeru u filmsku umjetnost i otišla kao vojnikinja na front. Vratila se i završila ovaj dirljivi film na kojem je počela raditi još prije potpune agresije na njezinu zemlju. Program nastavljamo svjetskom premijerom potresnog dokumentarca DAN, 365 SATI Eylem Kaftan, iskusne rediteljke iz Turske, o nasilju i hrabrim kćerkama koje su uspjele dići glas protiv svojih očeva. Takmičarski dokumentarni pro-

gram zatvaramo odvažnim filmom VILINSKI VRT Gerga Somogyvarija, novog autorskog glasa iz Mađarske. Njegova priča o ljudskoj povezanosti dvoje ljudi, čija su životna opredjeljenja zapravo zabranjena u njihovoj zemlji – biti beskućnik i biti transvestit – oplemenjuje nas mišlju da je i nemoguće ostvarljivo sve dok postoji vjera u dobrotu čovjeka. Predivno je iskustvo doživjeti filmske priče iz stvarnosti, uroniti u drame običnog čovjeka, a koje su talentirani autori, uz puno poštovanja prema svojim junacima, vješto oblikovali u vrhunska djela. Filmovi donose, na intimistički način, često uz humor i šarm, ozbiljna propitivanja društva. Zato vas pozivamo da zajedno uživamo u filmovima i istovremeno učimo o životu i raznim modusima ljudskog življenja. Dobro nam došli! E It is with great pride that we present this year’s Competition Programme – Documentary Film. The selected titles represent exceptional achievements, not just in terms of form and topic but also due to their courageous, confrontational, and stylistically bold nature. Contentwise, the line-up is eclectic in the true sense of the Ancient Greek term “eklektikos”, meaning “choosing the best”. From among 230 submissions, we have crafted thirteen programmes made up of twenty films selected because of the lasting impression they leave on the viewer.

Particularly fascinating are the works by auteurs who have transformed their own recollections and memories into films that have a collective quality, finding universal truths in their personal stories and experiences. These filmmakers draw us into some very complex life stories and touch upon the intricacies of universal concepts such as love and hate, evil and crime, and inter-family drama, as well as philosophical explorations of religion, the meaning of life, and the search for justice. These films are inspiring in many different ways because they retain positive energy even when presenting very traumatic truths. What is particularly valuable in these films is that they carry the marks, and relay the viewpoints, of their makers. In many cases, the directors are also their films’ narrators and researchers, thinkers and poets. Many of

these auteurs think outside the boundaries of traditional cinematic formats, so this year’s line-up includes some very precisely executed concept films, films in which the camera is used as a paintbrush, and films that explore new approaches to storytelling through the highly inventive use of digital language. Several exceptional films mix artistic disciplines, social media and film, painting and the moving image, the textures of fiction and documentary, animation, and graphic interventions. The filmmakers are courageous in their experimentation, crossing the limits of what is commonly expected from documentary work. This post-modernist approach of borrowing stylistic properties from various artistic disciplines to create an individual creative language characterises some of these emerging filmmakers, who infuse their work with freshness and originality. These, among other characteristics, have taken these filmmakers to the top echelons of global documentary film production. It is worth noting that the films in the programme that consider war and its consequences, or the many other horrors humans are capable of inflicting on each other, cannot be classified as films with “agendas” that border on human-rights propaganda – those works that tend to deliver expected, oft-seen messages. Rather, these films are creative, inspirational, highly refined artistic films that inspire reflection long after leaving the cinema. Last year, we introduced the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Documentary Short, and the new award has clearly stimulated both young and veteran filmmakers to come to us with work in this potent and exciting format. We are no longer seeing just short documentary stories, but rather true documentary bravura in original creations whose auteurs experiment with exploring the limits of the documentary genre. We are seeing a great leap in the quality of short-form films. Gender balance is not something we had to worry about in making this year’s selection. With no conscious effort, we achieved equal representation, with ten films made by women and ten by men. It is interesting that documentary production in our region is dominated by female filmmakers, while those productions are typically restrained by low budgets and demand

great skill and persistence, since documentary films often take ten or more years to complete. We carry on the tradition of organising incinema, post-screening question-and-answer sessions with filmmakers – a highly valuable experience for all involved, as well at the Docu Press Corner on the Festival Square throughout the festival. All the directors in the selection will attend the festival, some in the company of crew members and many in the company of their protagonists, which promises some very moving encounters and engaging film debates. The programme opens with WE WILL NOT FADE AWAY by the exceptionally talented Ukrainian filmmaker Alisa Kovalenko. At one point during the ongoing horrific war of aggression in Ukraine, Kovalenko lost faith in the art of film, and decided to spend four months in a volunteer fighting unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. She returned, however, and completed this very moving film, which she had started filming before the war against her country was in full force. The programme continues with A DAY, 365 HOURS, a film about violence and daughters who gathered the courage to raise their voices against their own fathers, crafted by the experienced Turkish director Eylem Kaftan. The brave film FAIRY GARDEN, by Gergo Somogyvari, a new creative voice from Hungary, closes the competition. This tale of human connection between two people whose life choices – homelessness and transgenderism – are effectively banned in their country encourages us to believe that nothing is impossible as long as we have faith in the goodness of humankind. It is a wonderful experience to dive into films that relate real-life stories and the dramas of ordinary people, skillfully crafted by talented filmmakers who show deep respect for their subjects – indeed, to dive into true works of art. In a very intimate manner, often with a great deal of humour and charm, films can raise important questions about our society. We invite you to come together to enjoy films and learn about life and different ways of human existence. Welcome! Rada Šešić Selektorica / Programmer

Avtoportreti Zghvarze / Autoportret uz liniju razgraničenja / Self-Portrait along the Borderline Vrata napuštene kuće otvaraju se u prošlost kroz oživljavanje jedinstvenih, gotovo zaboravljenih arhivskih slika iz Abhazije – nepriznatog teritorija smještenog uz obalu Crnog mora. Gruzijci inače nemaju pristup toj lokaciji zbog etničkog sukoba između Gruzije i Abhazije iz 1993. godine. Kombinujući glasove, arhivske i nedavno sačinjene snimke, film propituje izgubljeni i podijeljeni identitet zaglavljen između margina. Audiovizuelni fragmenti ovog arhiva suptilno se prepliću u ličnoj i političkoj biografiji oslonjenoj na komplikovanu i kontroverznu prošlost gruzijsko-abhazijskih odnosa. Anna Dziapshipa je rođena 1982. u gruzijskoj prijestolnici Tbilisiju, a kao filmska autorica i producentica specijalizovana je za dokumentarni film. Njeni filmovi su stekli priznanja na međunarodnim filmskim festivalima i umjetničkim izložbama. Anna je 2022. dobila Fulbright stipendiju za istraživački rad na Univerzitetu u Arkansasu, fokusiran na razvoj silabusa za predmet produkcija dokumentarnog filma. Istoimeni predmet je predavala na Institutu za javne odnose Odjela za audiovizuelne studije u Gruziji. Suosnivačica je i direktorica Sakdoc Filma. Njen dokumentarni film AUTOPORTRET UZ LINIJU RAZGRANIČENJA 2023. je premijerno prikazan na festivalu Visions du Réel, gdje je osvojio nagradu žirija za najbolji srednjometražni film. E An abandoned house opens the door to revisiting the past by bringing to life a unique, nearly destroyed image archive from Abkhazia, the unrecognised territory on the border of the Black Sea, a place that is normally inaccessible to Georgians because of the ethnic conflict that happened between Georgia and Abkhazia in 1993. Combining voice, archival, and recent footage, SELF-PORTRAIT ALONG THE BORDERLINE examines a lost and split identity that is stuck between the margins. The audio-visual fragments of this archive are intricately woven together to create a personal and political biography which recalls the complicated and controversial historical past of Georgian-Abkhaz relations.

Anna Dziapshipa was born in 1982 and based in Tbilisi. She is a filmmaker and producer who specialises in documentary film. Her works have gained recognition at international film festivals and art exhibitions. As a 2022 Fulbright scholar, Dziapshipa conducted research at the University of Arkansas, focusing on the development of a syllabus for a course in documentary production, which she teaches at the Georgian Institute of Public Affairs in the Department of Audio-Visual Studies. She is co-founder and director of Sakdoc Film. Her medium-length documentary SELF-PORTRAIT ALONG THE BORDERLINE had its premiere at Visions du Réel in 2023, where it received the Jury Prize for Best Medium-Length Film.

De Facto Kako film može govoriti o saučesnicima u zločinima protiv čovječnosti, ekstremnom nasilju i državnom teroru, a da ne bude u dosluhu sa njima? DE FACTO nudi odgovor na ovo pitanje kroz pažljivo režiranu igru dvoje glumaca, precizno izgrađen scenarij i planski reducirano okruženje. Selma Doborac rođena je u Bosni i Hercegovini, a živi u Beču. Filmska je rediteljica i scenaristica fokusirana na filmske eseje, dugometražne dokumentarne filmove i hibridne forme, te se također bavi fotografijom i lokacijski određenim okruženjima. Studirala je i diplomirala na Univerzitetu Primijenjenih Umjetnosti – Odsjek za nove medije, pod mentorstvom Bernharda Leitnera u Beču, te na Akademiji Likovnih Umjetnosti – Odsjeku za umjetnost i film kod Haruna Farockija, također u Beču. Njen drugi dugometražni film DE FACTO premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu (Berlinale), gdje je osvojio glavnu nagradu programa Forum – Caligari Film Prize, a međunarodna premijera filma uslijedila je na FIDMarseille. E How can cinema engage with complicity in crimes against humanity, extreme violence, and state terror without conniving in it? DE FACTO finds answers to these questions in a meticulously directed play of two actors, a precisely compiled film script and a deliberately reduced setting.

Selma Doborac was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina and lives in Vienna, where she works as a film director and screenwriter, focusing on the field of essay film, documentary film and hybrid forms, whereas she also works in the field of photography and site-specific surroundings. She had studied and graduated at the University of Applied Arts in the Department for Mixed Media Strategies (in the class of Berhard Leitener) in Vienna, as well as at the Academy of Fine Arts in the Department for Art and Film (in the class of Harun Farocku) in Vienna. DE FACTO, her second feature-length film, had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale), and was awarded the Caligari Film Prize, the main prize of the festival’s Forum section. After that, the film had its International Permiere at FID Marseille.

Dezerteri / Deserters DEZERTERI je hibridni dokumentarni esej o generaciji bosanskohercegovačkih srednjoškolaca iz grada Mostara koja je na pragu zrelosti pogođena razornim ratom. Ovaj mozaik sjećanja na rane devedesete sastavljen je od savremenih razglednica i nijemih kadrova mjesta gdje su se nekada vodili ratovi, a koja su protagonisti filma bili prisiljeni napustiti. Smirenost tih mjesta danas je u suprotnosti s emotivnim isječcima iz pisama upućenih reditelju iz izbjegličkih kampova razasutih diljem Evrope. Izbjeglice opisuju svoj bijeg preko granice, svoja iskustva u izbjegličkim kampovima i svoju dugotrajnu mržnju prema neprijateljima koji su im oteli dom i mladost. Film o nestaloj generaciji, egzilu, teškim izborima i odgovoru na najteže pitanje svakog rata: ostati ili bježati? Damir Markovina rođen je 1973. u Beogradu, Jugoslavija. Diplomirao je filmsku i televizijsku režiju (dokumentarni film) na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu 2022. nakon što je na istoj Akademiji završio i studij glume 2000. godine. Filmski je reditelj, producent i pisac. Njegov kratki dokumentarni film ŠIHTA prikazan je na 25. Sarajevo Film Festivalu u takmičarskom programu studentskog filma. Srednjometražni dokumentarni film ČEKAJ ME osvojio je glavnu nagradu AJB DOC festivala Sarajevo 2021, nagradu Pulskog filmskog festivala za najbolji studentski dokumentarni film i OKTAVIJAN - hrvatsku nacionalnu FIPRESCI nagradu za najbolji nacionalni kratki dokumentarni film. Njegov drugi srednjometražni dokumentarni film DEZERTERI osvojio je nagradu za najbolji srednjoevropski i istočnoevropski film i nagradu za najbolji dizajn zvuka na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu dokumentarnog filma Ji.hlava 2022, gdje je ujedno imao i svjetsku premijeru. E DESERTERS is a hybrid documentary essay about director Damir Markovina’s generation – Bosnian and Herzegovinian high schoolers from the town of Mostar, struck by a devastating war on the verge of their maturity. This tapestry of their memories of the early nineties is composed of modern-day postcards and silent shots of places where wars used to be waged and which the protagonists of this film were forced to abandon. The serenity of these places today contrasts with emotional excerpts from letters addressed to Markovina from refugee camps scattered all over Europe. The refugees describe their flight across the border, their experiences in refugee camps and their lasting hate of the enemies who took away their home and their youth. A film about a lost generation, exile, and difficult choices, and an answer to the toughest question of any war: to stay or to run?

Flašaroši / Bottlemen Na periferiji Beograda, na ostacima prastare vinčanske kulture, prostire se jedna od najvećih deponija smeća u Evropi. Skupljači plastičnih flaša, poznatiji kao flašaroši, teškom mukom zarađuju za život u tom toksičnom okruženju. Njihova živopisna zajednica suočava se s novim i rastućim prijetnjama. Uoči neizbježne privatizacije deponije, čitava zajednica flašaroša našla se pred zidom, zarobljena u procjepu između tehnološkog napretka i neadekvatnog sistema socijalne zaštite. Dok je ekološki efekat modernizacije deponije nemoguće procijeniti, krhka zajednica skupljača flaša prisiljena je da se sama suoči sa svojom neizvjesnom sudbinom. Nemanja Vojinović diplomirao je filmsku režiju na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu. Sa kratkim dokumentarnim filmom STVARNOSTI, ODJEBI osvojio je nagrade na više regionalnih i međunarodnih filmskih festivala.

Član je srbijanskog udruženja autora dokumentarnog filma Dok.Serbia. E On the outskirts of Belgrade, one of the largest landfills in Europe sprawls across the remains of the ancient Vinča civilization. Plastic bottle collectors, a.k.a. “Bottlemen”, eke out a difficult living in this toxic landscape. Now, their vibrant community is facing new and greater threats. Faced with the imminent privatisation of the landfill, an entire community of bottlemen is brought to a dead end, trapped in the gap between technological modernisation and an inadequate social care system. While the environmental impact of the landfill’s modernisation is unknown, the fragile community of collectors will have to face their uncertain destiny on their own.

Nemanja Vojinović graduated with a degree in film directing from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade. With his short documentary film REALITY, FUCK OFF, he won awards at regional and international festivals.

Fran and Verka; Or a Usual Day in an Abandoned Village / Fran i Verka ili sasvim običan dan u napuštenom selu Fran i Verka jedini su stanovnici Vërnakollë – sela u kojem su se prije mnogo godina sreli, vjenčali i gdje sve od tada žive. Nakon rata na Kosovu 1999, svi su napustili selo osim Frana i Verke. Njihova priča testament je nepokidivim nitima koje nas vežu za mjesto koje nazivamo domom i osjećamo da mu pripadamo. Sovran Nrecaj rođen je 1998. u Ferizaju na Kosovu. Umjetnošću se počeo baviti kao fotograf, a naknadno je razvio strast za pisanje i režiju. Sovran je studirao na Filmskoj akademiji u Sarajevu. Njegov kratki film SEA BY THE RIVER AND RIVER BY THE SEA osvojio je nekoliko nagrada na međunarodnim filmskim festivalima. E Fran and Verka are the sole inhabitants of Vërnakollë—the place they first met many years ago, were married, and have been living ever since. After the 1999 war in Kosovo, everyone but Fran and Verka left the village. Their story is a testament to the unbreakable bonds that tie us to what we call home and where we belong.

Sovran Nrecaj was born in Ferizaj, Kosovo, in 1998. He began his artistic career as a photographer and later developed a passion for writing and directing films. Nrecaj studied at Sarajevo Film Academy. His short film SEA BY THE RIVER AND RIVER BY THE SEA has won several awards at international festivals.

Horror Vacui “Horror vacui” doslovno znači strah od prazna prostora ili strah pred prazninom. Termin je prvi upotrijebio Aristotel, a danas može označavati strah od neizvjesne budućnosti koja proizvodi osjećaj tjeskobe i usamljenosti. Kroz duge, asocijativno povezane kadar-sekvence, film upozorava na postojeću militarizaciju u svijetu. Ne postoje nikakve odrednice kada ni gdje se nešto događa. U globaliziranu svijetu sve se može dogoditi bilo gdje i bilo kada. Boris Poljak jedan je od najistaknutijih hrvatskih eksperimentalnih i dokumentarnih autora, hvaljen snimatelj i direktor fotografije. Dugogodišnji član Filmskog kluba Split i jedan od pokretača Split Film Festivala – međunarodnog festivala novog filma i videa. Režirao je nagrađivane eksperimentalne naslove ONKRAJ i SKY SPIRITS, oba u zajedničkoj režiji s Damirom Čučićem, te tri kratka dokumentarna eksperimentalna filma, poput AUTOFOKUSA, s kojim je osvojio nagradu za najbolji kratki film na međunarodnim filmskim festivalima u Karlovym Varyma te Visions du Reel u Švicarskoj. E The term “horror vacui” was coined by Aristotle, and it means “fear of empty space”. It is used as a metaphor of the fear of the uncertain future that causes feelings of anxiety and loneliness. With its one-take sequences and free-associative editing style, this meditative film sends out a warning of the growing hyper-militarisation of the world we live in, and the impact this has on the human psyche. Due to the space and time of the events taking place in film being blurred, everything can happen everywhere at any time in a globalised world.

Boris Poljak is a prominent Croatian experimental and documentary filmmaker, and an acclaimed cinematographer and director of photography. A long-time member of the Split Film Club and one of the initiators of the Split Film Festival, Poljak co-directed the award-winning experimental titles BEYOND and SKY SPIRITS with Damir Čučić, and three short documentary experimental films, among them AUTOFOCUS, which was named Best Short Film at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and at Visions du Réel in Nyon.

My ne zgasnemo / Mi nećemo nestati / We Will Not Fade Away Grupa tinejdžera iz Donbasa nadomak je zrelosti i sanjaju da osvoje svijet. Iako su udaljeni zvuci pucnjave i eksplozija dio zvučne kulise njihovih života, oni ne gube nadu. Buntovni su, skloni avanturama, ulaze u minska polja i sunčaju se kraj lokalnog jezera. Sanjaju o bijegu ne samo od rata već, kao svi tinejdžeri na svijetu, i od dosade života u malom gradu. A onda, iznenada, pruža im se prilika da krenu na dugo putovanje do Nepala. Da li će se njihov san o osvajanju svijeta ostvariti? Alisa Kovalenko rođena je 1987. u Zaporižju u Ukrajini. Studirala je dokumentarni film na Univerzitetu Karpenko-Kari u Kijevu i Filmskoj školi Wajda u Varšavi. Njen prvi dugometražni dokumentarac ALISA W KRAINIE WOJNY premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu 2015, a naredni HOME GAMES na više od stotinu filmskih festivala te je nagrađen brojnim priznanjima. Selektorica je u međunarodnoj takmičarskoj konkurenciji dokumentarnog filma na Filmskom festivalu Molodist u Kijevu. Nakon ruske agresije na Ukrajinu u februaru 2022, prekinula je rad na filmu MI NEĆEMO NESTATI i provela četiri mjeseca kao volonterka u jednoj borbenoj jedinici ukrajinskih oružanih snaga. Film MI NEĆEMO NESTATI premijerno je prikazan 2023. na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu u programu 14plus. E A group of teenagers from Donbas are entering adulthood, and dream of conquering the world. Although they can hear gunshots and explosions in the distance, they do not lose hope. They rebel, ride on the waves of adventure, walk into minefields, and sunbathe by a local lake. They dream of escaping not only from the war but also—like teenagers all over the world—from the boredom of living in a small town. Then, unexpectedly, an opportunity arises for them to embark on a long journey all the way to Nepal. Will their dream of conquering the world come true?

Alisa Kovalenko was born in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, in 1987. She studied documentary filmmaking at the Karpenko-Kary University in Kyiv and at the Wajda School in Warsaw.

Objem / Zagrljaj / Hug Priroda nas miluje pri rođenju, uči nas da joj se čudimo i divimo dok rastemo. Potom krenemo udarati po njoj, iskorištavamo njena dobra u ime takozvanog napretka. Ona se mršti na nas, oprosti nam puno toga kao prava majka. Ponekad ipak zaurla na nas, opominje nas zemljotresom, pandemijom ili cunamijem. Hoćemo li ikada naučiti da ne zloupotrebljavamo našu majku nego da umjesto toga dijelimo njena dobra s poštovanjem i zahvalnošću? Miroslav Mandić rođen je u Sarajevu. Diplomirao je filmsku režiju i scenarij na Univerzitetu Columbia u New Yorku. Nakon kratke karijere u rodnoj Bosni i Hercegovini, tokom rata 1990-ih emigrirao je u Češku, gdje je režirao brojne dokumentarne filmove. Od 2005. godine živi i radi u Sloveniji. E Nature caressed us into being, even taught us how to pat her back as we grew up. Then, we started hitting her hard, using her goods for our progress at her expense. She stares at us reluctantly yet tolerates us, as a mother would. But, occasionally, she freaks out, warns us with an earthquake, a pandemic, or a tsunami. Shall we ever learn not to take advantage of our mom, and instead share her goods with humility, respect, and appreciation?

Miroslav Mandić was born in Sarajevo. He graduated after studies in film directing and screenwriting at Columbia University in New York. After a brief career in his native Bosnia and Herzegovina, during the war of the 1990s he immigrated to Czechia, where he directed numerous documentaries.

One Aloe, One Ficus, One Avocado and Six Dracaenas / Aloja, fikus, avokado i šest zmajevaca Šta ponijeti, šta ostaviti? Koliko su bitna materijalna dobra osobi koja pokušava spasiti vlastiti život? Paketi iz Ukrajine puni svega i ničega strpljivo čekaju pod mostom da ih neko pronađe, a glas budi sjećanja na frivolne i dragocjene lične stvari u naizgled oproštajnom pismu za Kijev koje slama srce.

Rekviemi Zafkhulis Sitskhian Dgheebs / Rekvijem za vrele dane ljeta / Requiem to the Hot Days of Summer Guri i njegova majka Sanata čitav život proveli su u zabačenoj planinskoj dolini u Gruziji udaljenoj od svih tragova urbane civilizacije. Zemljoradništvo, uzgoj pčela i proizvodnja sira decenijama su dio njihove dnevne rutine. Posmatrajući svakodnevni život majke i sina gledaoci uranjaju u njihov neverbalni, kontemplativan odnos te, kroz blagi pogled kamere, bez napora prodiru u realnost ruralnog života koji je dio njihovog bića. Kroz duboko dirljivu priču o majčinstvu, film REKVIJEM ZA VRELE DANE LJETA prigrljava tugu, tišinu i usamljenost koji prate sva ljudska bića kao iskonski pečat njihove sudbine i pobuđuje reminiscencije o blaženom načinu života koji je još uvijek sačuvan u podsvjesti čovječanstva. Giorgi Parkosadze autor je dokumentarnih filmova, snimatelj i montažer iz Tbilisija. Giorgi je 2015. stekao zvanje magistra multimedijalnog novinarstva, a 2022. godine je završio DocNomads studijski program stekavši zvanje magistra filmske umjetnosti u oblasti režije dokumentarnog filma. REKVIJEM ZA VRELE DANE LJETA njegov je debitantski dugometražni film. Prethodno je snimio nekoliko kratkih filmova, među kojima i film ON THE GARAGES koji je 2019. premijerno prikazan u CinéDOC programu Međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma u Tbilisiju. E Guri and his mother, Sanata, have spent all of their lives in a remote mountainous valley in Georgia, distant from nearly any signs of urban civilisation. Farming, beekeeping, and cheese-making have been their routine for decades. While witnessing the daily life of mother and son, the audience is immersed in the non-verbal, contemplative relationship between the two, and through the gentle gaze of the camera, enters effortlessly into rural reality as an inseparable element of their being. Through a touching motherhood story, REQUIEM TO THE HOT DAYS OF SUMMER embraces the sadness, silence, and solitude that follow every human being as the primordial seal of their fate and inspires the reminiscence of a blissful way of life, which is still present in the unconscious memory of humanity.

Silence of Reason / Šutnja razuma Sastavljen isključivo od svjedočanstava i video materijala iz forenzičkog arhiva, film ŠUTNJA RAZUMA i sam je poput sjećanja: neuhvatljiv, fluidan, odbacuje okvire, razbacan je na sve strane, prostoran je i temporalan. Lična iskustva pretrpljenog nasilja i torture žena koje su tokom rata u Bosni i Hercegovini prošle kroz kampove za silovanje u Foči prevazilaze okvire vremena i prostora i postaju naša naša kolektivna sjećanja. Kumjana Novakova rođena je u Makedoniji. Formalno obrazovanje iz oblasti međunarodnih odnosa i društvenih studija sticala je u Sofiji, Sarajevu, Bologni i Amsterdamu. Novakova je 2006. u Sarajevu pokrenula filmski festival Pravo ljudski i njegova je glavna selektorica i direktorica. Također je rukovodila Odjelom za film Muzeja moderne umjetnosti u Skopju od 2018. do 2021. Njena djela prikazana su na filmskim festivalima širom svijeta (Leipzig, Sarajevo Film Festival, PlayDoc, Muzej pokretnih slika NY, DokuFest, La Inesperada Barcelona). Njen prethodni film, DISTURBED EARTH (koji je korežirala sa G.C.Candi), Institut za dokumentarni film u Pragu nominovao je za najbolji istočnoevropski dugometražni dokumentarac. U svome posljednjem audio-vizuelnom radu, za koji je dobila stipendiju za umjetnost Balkanske mreže za istraživačko novinarstvo, prati iskustva žena koje su bile žrtve nasilja tokom ratova u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Trenutno je angažovana kao vanredna profesorica na magistarskom programu za studij filma Nizozemske filmske akademije i istovremeno završava doktorski studij moderne umjetnosti i medija u Beogradu. E Built solely from forensic visual archive material and testimonies, SILENCE OF REASON itself acts as a memory: elusive, fluid, rejecting framing, moving in all directions, spatial and temporal. The singular violence and torture experienced by women from the Foča rape camps during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina become our own collective memories, surpassing time and space.

Kumjana Novakova was born in Macedonia, in the former Yugoslavia. Her formal education combines international relations and cultural and social research studies in Amsterdam, Bologna, Sarajevo and Sofia. In 2006, she co-founded the Pravo Ljudski Film Festival in Sarajevo, where she acts as Chief Curator and Director.

Što da se radi? / What’s to Be Done? Željko je šef sindikata Tvornice vlakova Gredelj. Njegov zamjenik Mladen počinio je samoubistvo nakon velikih javnih protesta i unutarsindikalnih sukoba. Željko je rastrzan između krivnje koju osjeća zbog Mladenove smrti i očekivanja radnika da povedu štrajk koji bi trebao osujetiti planove vlade, po nalogu EU, da tvrtku odvede u stečaj. Film ima strukturu od tri čina. Prvi dio čini dokumentarna građa snimljena opservacijskom metodom. Drugi dio snimljen je deset godina kasnije. Treći je fiktivni dio. Goran Dević rođen je 1971. u Sisku. Studirao je pravo i arheologiju. Diplomirao je filmsku i televizijsku režiju na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti Zagreb, gdje danas radi kao docent na BA i MA studiju filmske i televizijske režije. Reditelj je i scenarist dvadesetak dokumentarnih i igranih filmova. Kao koautor napisao je scenarij i režirao dugometražni igrani film CRNCI. Film CRNCI osvojio je više nagrada kao što su Velika nagrada na Ljubljana Film Festivalu 2009. i Festivalu autorskog filma Serbija 2009, zatim FIPRESCI nagrada i Specijalna nagrada za režiju Filmskog festivala Cottbus u Njemačkoj, te Zlatna arena za režiju Pula Film Festivala. Retrospektive njegovih dokumentarnih filmova prikazane su u Arsenal Berlin i Crossing Europe filmskom festivalu u Linzu. E Željko is the labour union leader at Gredelj Train Factory. His deputy, Mladen, has committed

suicide after massive public protests and inter-union clashes. Zeljko is torn between the guilt he feels over Mladen’s death and workers’ expectations that he will lead a strike that should thwart a plan by the government, acting on the EU’s behest, to declare the factory bankrupt. WHAT’S TO BE DONE? is structured in three acts. The first act uses observational documentary footage; the second, footage filmed a decade later; while the third is fiction. Goran Dević was born in Sisak, Croatia, in 1971. He studied law and architecture before graduating in film and television directing from the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb, where he works as an assistant professor in the graduate and post-graduate film and TV directing programme. He has written and directed some 20 documentary and fiction films.

Telo / Tijelo / Body TIJELO je jedinstveno i poetično putovanje najskrivenijim predjelima ličnosti kroz svjedočanstvo Urške koja je provela dvadeset godina života klackajući se na granici između života i smrti. Profesionalnoj pijanistici i bivšoj manekenki Urški u životu je sve išlo dobro dok je nije pogodila bolest. Oporavljajući se od encefalitista, morala je ponovo upoznati samu sebe i ponovo naučiti sve u životu: da hoda, da prepozna svoju kćerku, da shvata i voli svoje tijelo koje naizgled želi da je uništi. Petra Seliškar rođena je u Ljubljani 1978. Završila je studij režije na Nizozemskoj filmskoj akademiji u Amsterdamu, a potom je završila studij režije i produkcije u Medijskoj školi u Sheffieldu u Engleskoj. Osnovala je filmsku produkcijsku kompaniju Petra Pan koja se prvenstveno bavi produkcijom i distribucijom dokumentarnih filmova. E BODY is a unique and poetic journey into the most unknown areas of the self, through the testimony of Urška, who spent twenty years struggling between life and death. A professional piano player and a former fashion model, Urška had everything going for her until she was struck by illness. Recovering from encephalitis, she had to get to know herself again and learn to live: to walk, to recognise her daughter, to understand – and love – her body, which seems to want to destroy her.

Petra Seliškar was born in Lubljana in 1978. She graduated after studies in directing from the National Film Academy in Amsterdam and completed a master’s in directing and production at the Northern Media School in Sheffield, England. She founded Petra Pan Film Production, a company primarily focused on the production and distribution of documentary films.

Între revoluţii / Između revolucija / Between Revolutions Sedamdesetih godina prošloga vijeka, tokom fakultetskih studija, Zahra i Maria sklapaju čvrsto prijateljstvo. Usljed političkih previranja u njenoj domovini Iranu, Zahra je prisiljena da se vrati kući i rastane se sa Marijom. Tokom naredne decenije, njih dvije ostaju u kontaktu putem pisama u kojima opisuju vlastita nastojanja da se, kao žene, izbore za pravo na mišljenje i javno uvažavanje i različite razvoje situacija u njihovim zemljama.

Uvod / Introduction Kratki filmovi ne prestaju da iznenađuju. Tako je i ove godine, a u selekciji predstavljamo deset kratkih filmova u konkurenciji za nagradu Srce Sarajeva. Selekcija je uzbudljiva, mladalačka, a istovremeno hrabra i inovativna – izbor se sveo na dva animirana filma i osam igranih kratkih filmova.

E Short films never cease to surprise, and that remains true this year, with ten films competing for the Heart of Sarajevo in the short film category. The 2023 selection, which includes two animated and eight fiction shorts, is exciting and youthful and at the same time brave and innovative.

Iz Hrvatske predstavljamo film PRAVA ISTINA O ŠORI rediteljice Andree Slaviček, koji je premijerno prikazan u programu Sedmica kritike Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Drugi film koji nam stiže iz Cannesa je animacija 27 rediteljice Flóre Anne Buda, dobitnice Zlatne palme za najbolji kratki film. Drugi animirani film je SPREMNI grčke rediteljice Eirini Vianelli, a u Sarajevu će imati svjetsku premijeru. Iz Srbije dolazi mladi reditelj Nikola Stojanović, koji je sa prijašnjim filmom učestvovao u Studentskoj konkurenciji, a ove godine predstavlja film DUHOVI NA MOJIM LEĐIMA.

From Croatia, we present Andrea Slaviček’s THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT THE FIGHT, previously screened in the Semaine de la Critique section of the Festival de Cannes. Also coming to us after Cannes is 27, an animated short by Flóra Anna Buda, the winner of Palme d’Or for Best Short Film. A second animated film is Greek director Eirini Vianelli’s READY, which will have its world premiere in Sarajevo. From Serbia, we welcome Nikola Stojanović, a former participant of the Sarajevo Film Festival’s Competition Programme – Student Film, who presents his latest short, THE GHOSTS YOU DRAW ON MY BACK.

Slovenačka rediteljica Barbara Zemljič predstavit će kratki film KAKO SAM NAUČILA PROSTIRATI VEŠ, a crnogorski reditelj Ivan Bakrač predstavlja novi film NEKA CVJETA ROSNO CVIJEĆE. Bosanskohercegovački reditelj Alen Šimić u konkurenciji se našao s novim kratkim ostvarenjem SVJEDOK, a grčki reditelj Stavros Markoulais, koji učestvuje i u Sarajevo Talents programu, predstavit će kratki film GOLUBOVI UMIRU DOK GRAD GORI. Iz Rumunije nam ove godine dolazi film IZMEĐU RUBOVA DANA, rediteljice Andeeae Lăcătuș. Selekciju zaokružujemo filmom MOJA MAJKA JE SVETICA Syllasa Tzoumerkasa, zasigurno najiskusnijeg reditelja ovogodišnje takmičarske selekcije kratkog filma, a koji će prije Sarajeva biti predstavljen na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu. Digitalna tehnologija je donijela svojevrsnu renesansu, posebno u produkciji kratkog filma koji nastavlja postojati kao prostor u kojem autori mogu u potpunosti istražiti svoju kreativnu slobodu. Upravo ta sloboda je prisutna u svim filmovima ovogodišnje selekcije. Sa sedam svjetskih premijera i tri regionalne, te s pet reditelja i pet rediteljica, ovogodišnja selekcija u kategoriji kratkog filma donosi izuzetno uzbudljivu i obećavajuću sliku budućnosti regionalne kinematografije.

Slovenian director Barbara Zemljič presents HOW I LEARNED TO HANG LAUNDRY and Ivan Bakrač from Montenegro attends with LET THE DEWY FLOWERS BLOOM. Bosnia and Herzegovina is represented in the programme by Alen Šimić and his THE WITNESS, and Greece’s Stavros Markoulais presents PIGEONS ARE DYING, WHEN THE CITY IS ON FIRE and also takes part in Talents Sarajevo. From Romania, this year we have BETWEEN THE EDGES OF THE DAY by Andeea Lăcătuș. Rounding off the selection is MY MOTHER IS A SAINT by Syllas Tzoumerkas, undoubtedly the most experienced director in this competition, whose latest short premiered at the Locarno Film Festival just before Sarajevo. Developments in digital technology have set the ground for something of a renaissance for the short film, preserving it as a format in which filmmakers can fully enjoy and explore their creative freedom. That sense of freedom characterises all the films in this year’s selection. With seven world and three regional premieres, five of them directed by women and five by men, the short film selection for 2023 paints an exciting and promising picture of the future of cinema from our region.

Uvod / Introduction Ove godine u studentskom programu gledat ćemo nešto manje filmova nego inače, svega jedanaest selektovanih naslova. Razlog tome nije ni kvalitet ni količina ponuđenog sadržaja, jer je i ove godine na naš poziv pristiglo više od 200 filmova, a i produkcijska vrijednost filmova koji dolaze iz regionalnih škola je iz godine u godinu sve veća.

Asja Krsmanović

Razlog tome je što smo željeli ponuditi kompaktnu selekciju koja će pokazati svu raznovrsnost tematskih opredjeljenja i različitih rediteljskih poetika i pri tome zadržati konciznost i povezanost. Ono što je također išlo u prilog ovakvoj selekciji je i činjenica da odabrani filmovi po svojim rediteljskim pristupima, vizuelnom stilu i načinu koncipiranja priče, odudaraju od poetika koje prevladavaju u njihovim školama. Tako će se među jedanaest naslova, od kojih su dva animirana, jedan dokumentarni i osam igranih kratkometražnih filmova naći pet svjetskih i šest regionalnih premijera. Iako nude čitavu lepezu različitih rediteljskih estetika i tema, čini se da ipak postoji jedna zajednička crta u skoro svim filmovima u ovogodišnjoj selekciji – pokušaj da se različitim narativnim i vizuelnim izborima uroni u unutrašnje svjetove glavnih junaka i junakinja i da se njihovi najintimniji izbori, strahovi, stvari koje ih tište i one za kojima žude, pretvore u jedinstvene i univerzalne filmske priče.

76 29. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – STUDENTSKI FILM

Od austrijskog igranog filma VISINSKI POGLED NA MOJ MOZAK KAO MJESTO ZLOČINA Luze Johow, čiji koncept, upravo onako kako naslov sugeriše, uvodi direktno u kreirani mentalni svijet jedne osobe, preko rumunskog ŽELIM SKRŠITI STAKLENIK Teone Galgotiu, u kojoj se raspolućeni unutarnji svijet glavne junakinje, ali i svjetonazorski odnos prema smrti i prirodi tog procesa realizuje kroz split screen, pa do drugog austrijskog filma u selekciji DOK MIRNO LEŽIM Yane Ersine, gdje se autorica bavi temom nasilja, uvodeći snažne vizuelne metafore, prisutni su isti pokušaji da se unutarnje ospolji. Isto važi i za bosanskohercegovački film SRCE Gvozdena Ilića u kojem reditelj vješto gradi svijet na rubu klišea, gdje se dvije tačke gledišta sučeljavaju kroz zvuk i sliku, te mađarski film PRAGMA Bianke Szelestey, gdje averzija prema hrani glavne junakinje otkriva njen odnos prema porodici. Porodičnim odnosima bavi se i 99,999% Roberte Serban iz Rumunije, ali i jedini dokumentarni film u ovogodišnjoj selekciji PADANJE Anne Gyimesi, koji donosi autentičnu priču majke čija kćerka traži medicinsku eutanaziju. Dva ansambl filma naročito su zanimljiva pojava u ovogodišnjoj selekciji. U SNOVIMA SVE MEDUZE SU VLAŽNE Marie Luise iz Austrije te NISKA TRAVA Davida Gaše. Oba filma autentičnim rediteljskim konceptima i snažnim vizuelnim rukopisom donose priče o malim, slučajno

formiranim grupama ljudi, u kojima prostor i vrijeme diktiraju i dinamiku međuljudskih odnosa. Selekciju zaokružuju dva animirana filma – KRAJIČKOM OKA Domonkosa Erhardta, koji se tematski uklapa u prethodno navedene filmove, te STAKLENI PRSTI Aline Gheorgie, koja se kroz jezik animacije bavi jednom od vječnih opsesivnih tema umjetnika, a to je proces kreacije.

E The 2023 edition of the Sarajevo Film

Festival’s Student Film programme includes fewer films than usual – just eleven. This is not due to the limited quantity or poor quality of the student films on offer – we received more than two hundred submissions for this edition and the quality of regional film school productions keeps rising from year to year. The reason for our more limited selection stems from our ongoing desire to offer a representative but also concise and compact selection of the various themes and poetics embraced by young directors in our region. One thing that stood out in the work of the selected filmmakers was the fact that their approaches to directing and storytelling, as well as their visual style, diverge from those that prevail in their schools.

Among the eleven selected titles – which include two animated films, one documentary, and eight fiction films – are five world and six regional premieres. Although they offer a wide variety of aesthetics and topics, all the films in the programme share one trait: each of them uses and exceptional narrative and visual approach to dive deep into its protagonist’s inner world, and converts intimate choices, fears, concerns, and desires into unique but universal stories. From TOP VIEW OF MY BRAIN AS A CRIME SCENE by Austria’s Luze Johow, which – as its name suggests – takes the viewer directly into the inner universe of a person, to Tona Galgotiu’s I WANT TO SHATTER THE GREENHOUSE, in which the split inner world of the protagonist, as well as traditional views on death and dying, are shown in split screen, to Yana Eresina’s exploration of violence reliant on strong visual metaphors in UNTIL I LIE STILL ¬–the second Austrian entry in the selection – these films bring to the surface that which is hidden inside. The same can be said of HEART, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s entry in the programme, whose director Gvozden Ilić skillfully builds a world that borders on cliché in which two points of view are confronted through sound and music, as well as of PRAGMA by Hungary’s Bianka Szelestey, who uses her protagonist’s

aversion to food to reveal her feelings about her family. 99.999%, by Romanian director Roberta Serban, also explores family relations, as does the lone documentary in the selection, PRAGMA by Hungarian director Bianka Szelestey, which explores the story of a woman whose daughter seeks medically assisted euthanasia. Two animated‘films – IN THEIR DREAMS ALL THE JELLYFISH ARE WET by Marie Luise Lehner of Austria and David Gaso’s SHORT CUT GRASS – are an interesting feature of this year’s selection. Both films, with their director-specific artistic concepts and visual style, tell stories of randomly established small groups of people. Here, time and space dictate the dynamics of interpersonal relationhips. The selection is rounded off by two animated films, FROM THE CORNER OF MY EYES by Domonkos Erhardt, which is a topical match for other, previously mentioned films in the line-up, and Alina Gheorgia’s GLASS FINGERS, which uses the visual language of animation to explore the preoccupation of all artists: the process of creation.

Rano ljetno poslijepodne započinje igrom. Dok jedno dijete broji do tri hiljade, lopovi se skrivaju u nizu dvorišta mirnog predgrađa. Za to vrijeme mladi otac provodi ostatak dana s tuđim djetetom, jedan starac iščekuje poziv koji će mu promijeniti život, a nastavak jednog prijateljstva ostaje neizvjestan. Igra završava kad se komarci počnu dizati iz trave. David Gašo rođen je u Osijeku 2000, a 2019. godine upisuje studij filmske i televizijske režije u Zagrebu na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti. Kratkometražni igrani film NISKA TRAVA svoju premijeru imao je na 69. izdanju Festivala kratkometražnog filma u Oberhausenu. E An early summer evening begins with a game: while one kid counts to three thousand, others hide in a row of suburban gardens. At the same time, a young father spends the rest of his day with someone else’s child, an old man waits for a call that will change his life, and the future of a year-long friendship becomes uncertain. The game ends when mosquitoes start rising from the grass. David Gašo was born in 2000 in Osijek, Croatia. He moved to Zagreb in 2019 to study film and TV directing at the Academy of Dramatic Arts. SHORT CUT GRASS, his graduation short film, had its premiere at the 69th Oberhausen Short Film Festival.

Uvod / Introduction Program U fokusu svake godine donosi eklektičnu selekciju najupečatljivijih filmove koji su već uspješno prikazani na svjetskim filmskim festivalima u protekloj godini. Kao i svake godine, pa tako i ove, program donosi sedam naslova recentne regionalne kinematografije s raznovrsnom selekcijom filmova poznatih svjetskih filmskih autora, ali i važnih i obećavajućih debitanata.

Film PRIPADANJE drugi je igrani film turskog reditelja Mettea Gümürhana i donosi priču o odrastanju, identitetu i, naravno, pripadanju. Reditelj vrlo spretno vodi glavne junake – mahom naturščike – i vješto nas uvlači u njihov svijet, baš kao i u svom prvencu GENÇ PEHLIVANLAR MLADI HRVAČI. Film je namijenjen, prije svega, mlađoj publici, ali će u ovom programu imati svoju svjetsku premijeru.

Ove godine prikazat ćemo debitantski film rediteljskog dvojca Dušana Zorića i Matije Gluščevića JESTE LI VIDJELI OVU ŽENU?, koji je uspješno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji 2022, u programu Sedmica kritike. Ovaj rediteljski duo donosi priču o ženi s minimalističkim pristupom narativu, ali i s izuzetnim crnim humorom koji nas uvodi u kafkijansku noćnu moru glavne junakinje Draginje koju tumači fantastična Ksenija Marinković. Njena ranjivost, ali i glumačka preciznost, osigurava da ovaj film nikada ne gubi na svojoj emocionalnosti bez obzira na brojne apsurde s kojima se susreće.

Bugarski reditelj Stefan Komandarev, poznat Sarajevo Film Festivalu od 2000. godine, prikazat će novi film BLAGIN NAUK koji je na Filmskom festivalu u Karlovym Varyma nagrađen za najbolji film, za najbolju režiju i najbolju glumicu. Film donosi priču o penzionerki koja postane žrtva spretnih pljačkaša, a nakon što shvata da policija niti može niti želi da riješi njen problem, sama odlučuje da djeluje i riješi svoj problem.

Grčki reditelj Vasilis Katsoupis, koji je prethodno režirao dugometražni dokumentarni film, predstavlja svoj prvi igrani film UNUTRA, koji je premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu u programu Panorama. Radi se o psihološkom trileru koji se gotovo u potpunosti odvija u luksuznom stanu u New Yorku u kojem je, silom prilika, zatočen glavni junak Nemo kojeg tumači Willem Dafoe. Nemo je došao da ukrade umjetničko djelo, ali ni ne sluti da će morati učiniti baš sve da preživi u stanu koji ima sve, ali nema izlaza. BIJELO PLASTIČNO NEBO prvi je dugometražni animirani film reditelja Tibora Bánóczkija i Sarolte Szabó nakon nekoliko izuzetnih i uspješnih kratkih animiranih filmova. Film, premijerno prikazan na festivalu u Berlinu u programu Encounters, donosi distopijsku priču o čovjeku koji će učiniti sve da spasi svoju suprugu. Radnja filma smještena je u na tako dalekoj budućnosti u kojoj su životnje i biljke potpuno izumrle, a cijena života je izuzetno visoka.

86 29. Sarajevo Film Festival l U FOKUSU

Specijalnu projekciju imat će dokumentarni film PERO slovenačkog reditelja Damjana Kozolea, koji također ima dugu historiju na našem festivalu. Ovaj film je poseban jer donosi emotivnu i intimnu priču o glumcu Peri Musevskom koji je preminuo 2020. godine, a koji je bio jedan od značajnijih regionalnih glumaca, što je i krunisano nagradom Srce Sarajeva. Jedan od najznačajnijih reditelja današnjice – Nuri Bilge Ceylan – predstavit će svoj novi film O SUVOM BILJU koji je ove godine premijerno prikazan u glavnoj konkurenciji Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, gdje je i nagrađen Zlatnom palmom za najbolju glumicu. U Ceylanovom stilu, film tematizira stanje u kojem se svijet danas nalazi, kroz priču o antipatičnom učitelju koji dolazi u udaljeno selo da radi u mjesnoj školi. Tu se zbližava s kolegom i s djevojkom koja će postati okosnica njegovih života i samoga filma. S ovih sedam naslova u programu U fokusu predstavljamo svu raznovrsnost regionalne kinematografije s pet igranih, jednim dokumentarnim i jednim animiranim filmom.

E Each year, the Sarajevo Film Festival’s In Focus programme presents an eclectic selection of the most distinct films produced over the previous twelve months, which have already had a good run on the international festival circuit. This year is no different, as the seven titles selected for the programme are a mix of recently produced films from the region, films by established auteurs, and work from emerging international filmmakers.

With HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WOMAN?, the feature-length debut co-directed by Dušan Zorić and Matija Gluščević, which had its world premiere in the Critics’ Week of the Venice Film Festival in 2022, the directing duo delivers the Kafka-esque nightmare of its protagonist, Draginja, with the exceptional black humour and minimalist storytelling approach. In the main role, the wonderful Ksenija Marinković’s vulnerability and precise delivery ensure the film never loses its emotional appeal despite the many absurd situations Draginja finds herself in. INSIDE, the feature-length fiction debut of Greek director Vasilis Katsoupis, known for his long-form documentaries, had its premiere in the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival. This psychological thriller is almost fully contained in an upscale New York City apartment, where Nemo, played by Willem Dafoe, becomes trapped after he breaks in to steal valuable works of art. Little does Nemo know of the things he will have to do to survive in an apartment that lacks nothing – except a way out. WHITE PLASTIC SKY is the debut feature-length animated film by Tibor Bánóczki and Sarolta Szabo, who already have several exceptional and successful animated shorts under their belts. The film, which premiered in the Berlinale’s Encounters section, is a dystopian story about a man who will do anything to save his wife. The story is set in a not-so-distant future in which all plants and animals are extinct and the price of life is extremely high. Turkish director Mete Gümürhan’s second feature, BELONGING, is a coming-of-age story about identity and, of course, belonging. The direc-

tor worked with great skill with a cast of mainly non-professional actors, pulling us into their world in a fashion similar to that in his YOUNG WRESTLERS. Primarily aimed at younger audiences, the film has its world premiere here in Sarajevo. Bulgarian director Stefan Komandarev, whose work has been presented at the festival on several occasions since 2000, presents his new film, BLAGA’S LESSONS, which won the Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actress awards at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. It tells the story of a recently retired woman who falls prey to a phone scam and decides to take matters into her own hands after she realises the police are incapable of solving her problem. The programme also includes a special screening of documentary film PERO by Slovenia’s Damjan Kozole, who also has a lengthy history with the Sarajevo Film Festival. PERO has a special place in our hearts because it is an emotional and intimate story about Pero Musevski, one of the most respected actors from our region and the recipient of a Heart of Sarajevo, who passed away in 2020. One of the most important contemporary directors, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, presents his latest film, ABOUT DRY GRASSES, which premiered in the Official Competition at the 2023 Festival de Cannes where its star, Merve Dizdar, was named Best Actress. True to his style, Ceylan debates the current state of the world through a story about an unlikeable teacher who arrives in a remote village to work in the local school. There, he bonds with his colleagues and a girl who becomes the centre of his universe. The line-up of the 2023 edition of our In Focus programme – including five fiction, one documentary, and one animated feature-length films – fully represents the variety of regional film production.

Beraber / Pripadanje / Belonging Četrnaestogodišnji Zeki teško se nosi sa nedavnim gubitkom majke. Njegov život ponovo se preokreće kada njegov otac Mahir odluči da se iz Rotterdama presele u Istanbul. Zeki i Mahir sele se u luksuzno zatvoreno naselje ograđeno visokim zidovima. Dok Mahir svakodnevno odlazi na posao u banku, Zeki ostatak ljetnog raspusta provodi u ograđenom naselju. Željan slobode, Zeki odluči preskočiti zid, pobjeći od kuće i istražiti ostatak grada. Zeki završava u siromašnom naselju, gdje se sprijatelji s Kemalom i grupom djece koja žive na ulici i dane provode u džeparenju. Vesela družina brzo prigrli Zekija, ali on od njih krije da živi u luksuznom ograđenom naselju iz straha da bi ga zbog toga mogli odbaciti. Mete Gümürhan odrastao je u Rotterdamu u porodici turskih korijena. Diplomirao je film 2009. na Akademiji Willem de Kooning na Odsjeku za audiovizuelni dizajn i umjetnost. U okviru Kaliber Filma, Mete je pomogao u razvoju i bio producent nekoliko nagrađivanih kratkometražnih i dugometražnih filmova. E Fourteen-year-old Zeki struggles with the recent loss of his mother. His life is turned upside down again when his father, Mahir, decides to move from Rotterdam to Istanbul. Zeki and Mahir arrive to live in a luxurious gated community, sealed off from the city by high walls. While Mahir goes to work at the bank to work every day, Zeki has to spend the rest of his summer holidays in the compound. In his desire for freedom, he decides to climb over the wall and explore the city on the other side while free-running. Zeki ends up in a varoş, a poor neighbourhood, and befriends Kemal and a group of street kids who spend their days pickpocketing. Zeki is soon included in the merry group but, out of fear of losing their friendship, he conceals the fact that he lives in the posh gated community.

Mete Gümürhan was raised in Rotterdam in a family of Turkish heritage. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in filmmaking from the Willem de Kooning Academy’s Audiovisual Design and Art department in 2009. Through Kaliber Film, Gümürhan has co-developed and produced several award-winning short and feature-length films.

A zatim se pokvari. Nemo ostaje zaključan u stanu. Na početku se nada dolasku svoga partnera u krađi, a potom dolasku zaštitara ili policije. Ili vlasnika stana. Ali niko ne dolazi. Nakon toga se moli i nada dolasku čistačice. Sluškinje. Bilo koga. Ali niko ne dolazi. Dani čekanja se pretvaraju u sedmice, a potom i mjesece. Nemo mora iskoristiti svu svoju prepredenost i inventivnost da bi preživio. Vasilis Katsoupis rođen je 1977. u Volosu u Grčkoj. Studirao je medije i film u Velikoj Britaniji, gdje je stekao zvanje magistra scenskih umjetnosti. Nakon toga počinje raditi kao predavač u Filmskoj školi Univerziteta Aristotel u Solunu. Njegov prvi dokumentarni film O FILOS MOU O LARRY GUS premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu Karlovy Vary. UNUTRA je njegov debitantski dugometražni igrani film, a premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. E Nemo, an art thief, breaks into a collector’s penthouse apartment hunting for valuable works of art. As he enters, the security system locks everything down. Then, it malfunctions. Nemo is locked in. At first, he expects his partner-in-crime to arrive, then security guards or the police. Or the owner. But no one comes. He hopes and prays that a cleaning lady will come. A servant. Anyone. But no one comes. Days stretch out into weeks and months. Now, he must use all of his cunning and invention to survive.

Vasilis Katsoupis was born in Volos, Greece, in 1977. He studied media and film in the United Kingdom and graduated with a master’s degree in screen arts.

Kuru otlar ustune / O suvom bilju / About Dry Grasses Samet, mladi profesor umjetnosti, završava četvrtu godinu obaveznog rada u jednom udaljenom selu u Anatoliji. Nakon događaja koje jedva da može shvatiti, gubi nadu da će ikada pobjeći od sumornog života u kojem je naizgled zaglavljen. Da li će mu susret sa Nuray, koja je i sama učiteljica, pomoći da prevlada anksioznost? Nuri Bilge Ceylan rođen je u Istanbulu 1959.

E Samet, a young art teacher, is finishing his fourth year of compulsory service in a remote village in Anatolia. After a turn of events he can hardly make sense of, he loses hope of escaping the grim life he seems to be stuck in. Will his encounter with Nuray, herself a teacher, help Samet overcome his angst?

Pero Omaž životu, karijeri i strahovima glumca Petera Musevskog (1965–2020). Peter Musevski (nadimak Pero) bio je ikona slovenačke kinematografije i ostvario je uloge u više od pedeset filmova. Njegovi filmovi osvojili su nagradu Lav budućnosti na festivalu u Veneciji i nagradu za najbolju režiju na festivalu Karlovy Vary, a sam Musevski osvojio je nagradu Srce Sarajeva za najboljeg glumca kao i brojne druge nagrade. Krajem 2019. godine s rediteljem Damjanom Kozoleom počeo je raditi na filmu o sebi i svojim demonima. Na početku pandemije, u martu 2020, prije nego što je snimanje filma počelo, Musevski je počinio samoubistvo. Kozole je osjećao potrebu da ipak snimi film, kao vid oproštaja o Petera Musevskog. Tokom snimanja filma, Kozole je shvatio da to nije film samo o Musevskom već također i o njima, kao i da nije samo film o odlasku prijatelja već i o društvu i svijetu u koje su vjerovali, a koji i sami polako nestaju. Damjan Kozole rođen je 1964. u Sloveniji. Proslavljeni je filmski autor, a prvi dugometražni film snimio je kada je imao 22 godine. Njegov niskobudžetni debitantski film FATALNI TELEFON bio je jedan od prvih nezavisnih filmova snimljenih u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Kozole je 2004. bio jedan od 23 evropska reditelja koji su radili na omnibusu VISIONS OF EUROPE. Američki filmski institut 2005. godine organizovao je retrospektivu njegovih dugometražnih filmova. Njegov film REZERVNI DIJELOVI nominovan je za Zlatnog medvjeda na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. E A homage to the life, career, and fears of actor Peter Musevski (1965–2020). Nicknamed Pero, Musevski was an icon of Slovenian cinema, appearing in more than 50 films, which received prizes including the Lion of the Future at the Venice Film Festival and Best Director at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Among numerous awards, he received the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Actor. At the end of 2019, together with director Damjan Kozole, Musevski began working on a film about himself and his demons. At the beginning of the pandemic, in March 2020, before shooting of the film had begun, Musevski committed suicide. Kozole felt the need to make this film anyway, as a way of saying goodbye. While working on it, the director realised this film is not only about Musevski but also about himself; not just about a friend’s departure, but also about society and the world they believed in, which is slowly disappearing too.

His low-budget debut, THE FATAL TELEPHONE, was one of the first independent films made in the former Yugoslavia. In 2004, Kozole participated in making the international omnibus film Visions of Europe together with 24 other European directors. In 2005, a retrospective of his feature films was hosted by the American Film Institute. His film SPARE PARTS was nominated for a Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2003, while he took the Best Director Award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2016 for NIGHTLIFE. His hybrid documentary PERO was selected for the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2023. Kozole is also the respected author of many documentary films like ULAY: PROJECT CANCER and BORDERS.

Urotcite na Blaga / Blagin nauk / Blaga’s Lessons Nakon što nasjedne na prevaru putem telefona, umirovljena učiteljica, i odnedavno udovica, ostaje bez ušteđevine i novca da uredi grob preminulog supruga. Njen život se okrene naglavačke kada shvati da nema načina da vrati svoj novac, ali onda dobija privlačnu, ali sumnjivu ponudu za posao. Nakon što uzme stvari u svoje ruke, njena situacija se mijenja i počinje joj priticati novac, ali pri tome se odriče svoje najveće vrline – ličnih principa. Polako, ali sigurno, i sama se pretvara u prevaranticu. Stephan Komandarev rođen je 1966. u Sofiji.

Her life is turned upside down when she realises there is no way of getting her money back, until she receives an alluring, yet suspicious, offer for work. The tables turn as she takes matters into her own hands and cash begins rolling in, this time claiming her most prized attribute: her values, as she slowly and surely transforms into a scammer herself.

Stephan Komandarev was born in Sofia in 1966. He graduated in film and TV directing from the New Bulgarian University. His works include award-wining feature and documentary films. He is a lecturer in the Film Department of the New Bulgarian University, Sofia.

Uvod / Introduction Posljednih par godina regionalna produkcija doživljava značajan porast. Kreatori i scenaristi se okupljaju oko intrigantnih priča, priznati autori uz kvalitetne filmove, često rade i dramske serije, dok su budžeti veći i zapošljava se veći broj filmskih djelatnika.

Tina Hajon

Stvaranju visokokvalitetnih serija doprinijeli su i veliki regionalni telekomunikacijski operateri poput BH Telecoma i Telekoma Srbije, kao kompanije s televizijskim kanalima koje investiraju u produkciju vlastitih sadržaja. Sve to doprinosi boljem “zdravlju” naših filmskih zajednica, većoj gledanosti regionalnih serija i širem izboru sadržaja, čemu svjedoči broj ovogodišnjih prijava na program Pretpemijera serija, kao i brojne kategorije i nominacije za nagrade Srce Sarajeva za TV serije. Nastavljamo nagrađivati najbolje i investirati u promociju serija, autora i glumačkih talenata. U sedmom izdanju programa Pretpremijere serije predstavljamo šest igranih dramskih serija koje su potpuno različite u formi, žanru, ritmu i temi, no sve su izrazito visoke produkcijske vrijednosti i originalnog autorskog izražaja, stoga vjerujem da je ovogodišnja selekcija iznimno zanimljiva. Za ljubitelje serija ovo je jedinstvena prilika da na velikom ekranu premijerno pogledaju epizode iz ovih šest regionalnih serija koje ćemo na malim ekranima tek gledati u nadolazećoj jesenskoj i zimskoj sezoni. Neke serije će nas držati napetima, neke navesti na razmišljanja, a neke će nas baš jako nasmijati. Program Pretpremijere serije otvaramo bosanskohercegovačkom serijom PRINC IZ ELEJA kreatora Dušana Vranića, Elme Tataragić, Enesa Zlatara i Amre Bakšić Čamo, dok režiju potpisuje Alen Šimić. Veselje je u program imati ovaj izrazito duhovit sitcom s nesvakidašnjom pričom popraćenom glazbom. Može li se američki san ostvariti kod nas? Originalni, zabavni i životopisni likovi vode nas kroz avanture, ambiciozne i sanjarske vizije života koje se “sudaraju” s ne tako bajnom realnošću, ali uz niz domišljatih pošalica. Prošle smo godine premijerno prikazali seriju KOTLINA oskarovca Danisa Tanovića, dok se ove godine u program vraća serijom FRUST kreatora Srđana Vuletića i Gábora Kriglera. Gledat ćemo jednu epizodu ove serije koja prati sudbinu nеuspješnog mladog pisca na vjetrometini književnih kritika, u raskolu unutarnjih etičkih dilema. Mladi i talentirani glumci utjelovljuju niz zanimljivih likova koji nas intrigiraju, te nam otkrivaju kako društvo utječe na njih, ali i kako

se stvaraju idoli i koje su nove paradigme našeg sistema vrijednosti. Na programu su i dvije serije u žanru krimi trilera. POSJETA kreatora Veljka Mićunovića je svjež format serije koji se sastoji od četiri priče koje su režirala tri redatelja. Uz Veljka Mićunovića režiju potpisuju Uroš Tomić i Mina Đukić, čije su izrazito uspješne serije (GRUPA i KLJUN) prikazane u prethodnim izdanjima programa. Priče su zasnovane na istinitim događajima. Prikazuju različite ljudske sudbine tokom sudskih procesa i iza zatvorskih rešetaka. Iako ćemo reći da je ovo krimi triler, serija se izravno ne bavi kriminalnim miljeom, već otvara brojna pitanja u vezi s pravdom, slobodom, hrabrosti i, na kraju, sudbinom. Priče u seriji su tematski povezane iako je svaka potpuno drugačija. Sjajan ansambl regionalnih glumačkih zvijezda nas uspješno drži u tenziji dok svjedočimo intenzivnim promjenama osobnosti likova. Gledat ćemo priču pod nazivom RIJEKA koja počinje buđenjem mladog fudbalera u bolnici, bez sjećanja na prethodnu noć koja će mu promijeniti život. POZIV je serija kreatora Marka Popovića i Ive Mitrović, gdje se proslavljena srpska glumica s američkom adresom Mirjana Joković vraća na naše ekrane u glavnoj ulozi bivše policijske inspektorice koja radi u call centru. Njen naizgled miran život promijeni jedan poziv koji budi njen istraživački duh. Kroz dinamičnu priču, isprepliću se sadašnjost i prošlost te se dešavaju neočekivani obrati. Sjajni glumci poput Uliksa Fehmija, Miloša Timotijevića, Ane Franić i Snežane Bogdanović uvjerljivo nas uvlače u napetu priču, igrajući kompleksne i sjajno napisane likove. Također iz Srbije dolazi druga sezona serije AZBUKA NAŠEG ŽIVOTA koja, kroz priče o supružnicima i prijateljima, govori o krizi obiteljskih i međuljudskih odnosa, krizi srednjih godina i krizi korumpiranog društva. U seriji je ugledan glumački ansambl, međutim, za istaknuti je da je kreatorica i rediteljica serije Jelene Bajić Jočić ispisala niz vrlo zanimljivih ženskih likova u raznim generacijama. Igraju ih sjajna Aleksandra Janković, Anastasija Mandić, Anđelka Prpić i Isidora Simijonović. Program zatvaramo hrvatskom serijom GORA kreatorice Maje Pek-Brünjes i redatelja već poznatih našoj publici – Mladena Dizdara, Alda Tardozzija i Radoslava Jovanova Gonza. Uz mlade glumce u glavnim ulogama tu su i etablirani glumci poput Sandre Lončarić, Barbare Nole i Aleksandra Cvjetkovića. Ovo je proce-

duralna serija u čijem je središtu tim gorskih spašavatelja koji se u svakoj epizodi bavi novim slučajem spašavanja. Iza slučajeva nerijetko stoje ilegalne aktivnosti, prirodne nepogode i nemar, ali i vedrije teme poput vječno nepripremljenih turista. Kroz razne priče pratimo lične probleme ljudi u teškim životnim situacijama, požrtvovanost pojedinaca, intrigu i ubojstva. Ova serija svakako nije tematski uobičajena – karakterizira je bavljenje društveno bitnim temama, od vršnjačkog nasilja do herojstva. Pozivamo vas da nam se pridružite na projekcijama u Cineplexxu i na Press cornerima na festivalskom trgu, gdje možete sresti ekipe svih serija te ih bolje upoznati u razgovorima uživo. Dramske serije u programu Pretpremijere serije se natječu za Unicredit Nagradu publike, te direktno ulaze u uži izbor nominacija nagrada Srca Sarajeva za televizijske serije koje će biti dodijeljene na 30. Sarajevo Film Festivalu. Dođite, pratite nas i glasajte za svoje favorite. Pred nama je uzbudljiva i raznovrsna selekcija serija! E Over the last few years, production in our region has been on the upswing. Creators and screenwriters are gathering around intriguing stories; respected filmmakers are now often also making television series; production budgets are increasing; and more film industry workers are finding employment.

Telecom operators, such as BH Telecom and Telecom Serbia, have contributed to the production of high-quality series. All of this is improving the health of our filmmaking communities and increases the popularity and variety of drama series from the region, as is confirmed by the number of submissions received this year for the Avant Premiere Series programme and the numerous categories and nominations for the Heart of Sarajevo Awards for television series. We continue to award the best and to invest in the promotion of series, their makers, and their acting talents. In this seventh edition of the Avant Premiere Series programme, we present six narrative series that differ in format, genre, pace, and topic, but that have universally high production value and originality. As such, we believe our 2023 selection is exceptionally interesting. For series lovers, this is a unique opportunity to watch – on the big screen – selected episodes of these regional series, which will premiere on television in the fall or winter. Some of these

shows keep us our toes, some make us think, and some have us laughing out loud. The programme opens with SMASHING IT, a show produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina, created by Dušan Vranić, Elma Tataragić, Enes Zlatar ,and Amra Bakšić Čamo, and directed by Alen Šimić. It is huge fun for us to have this very witty sitcom, with its unusual plotline and great music, in the programme. Is it possible to achieve the American Dream in this country? Original, entertaining, and colourful characters take us on a variety of adventures – ambitious and dreamlike visions of life that clash with a not-so-perfect reality that is replete with witty retorts. Last year, we premiered THE HOLLOW by Academy Award-winning Bosnian director Danis Tanović. He returns to the festival this year as the director of FRUST, a series created by Srđan Vuletić and Gábor Krigler. We present one episode of this show, which follows a young writer struggling for recognition, pressured by literary criticism and his own ethical dilemmas. Young and talented actors play a string of interesting and intriguing characters through their socially induced changes. The programme also includes two crime thrillers. THE VISIT, created by Veljko Mićunović, comes in a fresh format: four self-contained episodes directed by three directors. Alongside Mićunović himself, the pool of directors includes Uroš Tomić and Mina Đukić, whose highly successful drama series THE GROUP and AWAKE were previewed in previous editions of our programme. The plotlines were inspired by real-life events and detail the life stories of people who found themselves on the wrong side of the law and are either on trial or behind bars. Although the show is labelled a crime thriller, it does not focus on the criminal milieu but, rather, raises many questions about concepts of justice, freedom, courage and, in the end, the fate of humanity. The show’s wonderful cast of regional acting stars keeps the tension humming through the intense personality changes of their characters. We preview the episode THE RIVER, which opens on a young football player waking up in a hospital, unable to recall the previous night, which will change his life. THE CALL, created by Marko Popović and Iva Mitrović, is the return to our screens of Mirjana Joković, the celebrated Serbian actor with a US address, in the role of an ex-police inspector now working in a call centre. In the show, one call that awakens her investigative spirit disrupts the main character’s quiet life. Past

and present intertwine in this dynamic story, delivering some unexpected twists. An excellent cast featuring actors such as Uliks Fehmiu, Miloš Timotijević, Ana Franić, and Snežana Bogdanović pulls us with conviction into the tense lives of complex and wonderfully written characters. Also from Serbia, we preview the second season of THE ABCS OF LIFE, a show about a married couple and their friends that dives into the issues of modern marital and inter-personal relations, midlife crises, and the troubles of a corrupt society. The cast comprises highly respected actors, and creator and director Jelena Bajić Jočić has built a constellation of very interesting female characters from different generations, wonderfully portrayed by Aleksandra Janković, Anastasija Mandić, Anđelka Prpić, and Isidora Simijonović. We close the programme with the Croatian drama series THE HIGHLANDS, created by Maja Pek-Brünjes and directed by Mladen Dizdar, Alda Tardozzi, and Radoslav Jovanov Gonzo, a trio who have already built a name for themselves with our audience. The cast of young actors in the main roles is supported by experienced peers including Sandra Loncrić, Barbara Nola, and Aleksandar Cvjetković. This procedural centres on a team of mountain rescuers, with each episode focused on a separate rescue operation. These operations often uncover illegal activities, natural disasters, and neglect, but also a more cheerful set of problems, such as perpetually unprepared tourists. Through different stories, we peek into the lives of the show’s characters, their difficult moments, acts of individual selflessness, as well as intrigue and murder. This is a thematically unusual show, characterised by its focus on socially important issues ranging from peer abuse to individual heroism. We invite you to join us for screenings at Cineplexx Cinema and at the Press Corner on the Festival Square, where you can meet the cast and crew of all these series and get to know them better through conversation. The shows in the Avant Premiere Drama Series programme vie for the Unicredit Audience Award and are short-listed for the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Drama Series. Come, follow us, and vote for your favourites. We have an exciting and diverse selection of television series ahead of us! Tina Hajon Selektorica / Programmer AVANT PREMIERE SERIES l 29.

Adaptation. / Adaptacija. Charlie Kaufman je zbunjeni scenarista iz Los Angelesa opterećen samopotcjenjivanjem, seksualnom frustracijom, samoprezirom i scenarističkim ambicijama brata blizanca, grebatora Donalda. Dok se muči da adaptira knjigu Susan Orlean „Kradljivac orhideja“, Kaufmanova patetična svakodnevnica postaje sve bizarnija. Kaufmanov život i Orleaničina knjiga čudnovato se prepliću kada se potjere za strašću u njima sudare. Spike Jonze započeo je filmsku karijeru snimajući filmove o skejtanju, uključujući uticajni VIDEODANI iz 1991. godine. Njegov filmski stil ubrzo ga je učinio popularnim rediteljem muzičkih videa, što je ostao tokom devedesetih godina pošloga vijeka sarađujući sa brojnim slavnim muzičarima, među kojima su i R.E.M, Sonic Youth, the Beastie Boys, Ween, Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Weezer, Björk, Arcade Fire i Kanye West. Prvi dugometražni filmovi koje je režirao, oba po scenariju Charlija Kaufmana, bili su BITI JOHN MALKOVICH i ADAPTACIJA, pri čemu je drugopomenuti nominovan za Oskara za najbolju režiju. Jonze je jedan od kreatora i izvršni producent franšiznog reality programa JACKASS (MTV). Jonze je naknadno počeo režirati filmove prema vlastitim scenarijima, uključujući TAMO GDJE SU DIVLJE STVARI i ONA. S filmom ONA je osvojio Oskara, Zlatni globus i nagradu Američkog udruženja pisaca za najbolji originalni scenarij, a film je nominovan i za Oskara za najbolji film. E Charlie Kaufman is a confused LA screenwriter overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy, sexual frustration, self-loathing, and by the screenwriting ambitions of his freeloading twin brother Donald. While struggling to adapt “The Orchid Thief” by Susan Orlean for the screen, Kaufman’s life spirals from pathetic to bizarre. Kaufman’s life and Orlean’s book become strangely intertwined as each one’s search for passion collides with the other’s.

Spike Jonze began his filmmaking career by shooting skateboarding films, including the influential VIDEO DAYS in 1991. His filmmaking style soon made him an in-demand director of music videos for much of the 1990s, resulting in collaborations with R.E.M., Sonic Youth, the Beastie Boys, Ween, Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Weezer, Björk, Arcade Fire, and Kanye West. Jonze’s first feature-length films as a director were BEING JOHN MALKOVICH and ADAPTATION, both written by Charlie Kaufman; the former earned Jonze an Academy Award nomination for Best Director. He was a co-creator and executive producer of MTV’s JACKASS reality-TV franchise. Jonze later began directing films based on his own screenplays, including WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE and HER. For the latter film, he won the Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay, and receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.

Kajmak / Kaymak Dva para upadaju u zečiju rupu nekonvencionalnih erotskih odnosa, poštovani na početku, a sretni na kraju. U okviru priče o vječitoj potrazi za ljubavlju, KAJMAK se bavi i težim društvenim temama – surogat roditeljstvom, nevjerom, ulogom žene u porodici i društvu, trgovinom ljudima, seksualnom slobodom. Milčo Mančevski režirao je sedam dugometražnih i 50 kratkih filmova, te jednu epizodu serije ŽICA.

Njegovi filmovi se proučavaju na brojnim univerzitetima. Živi u New Yorku i piše romane i eseje, bavi se fotografijom, stvara umjetnička djela i predaje. E Two couples go down the rabbit hole of unconventional erotic relationships, respectable at the beginning, happy at the end. Underneath its exploration of the eternal search for love, KAYMAK tackles darker social issues – surrogate parenting, infidelity, the role of women in family and society, human trafficking, and sexual freedom.

Kiss the Future / Poljubite budućnost Neizbježno aktuelna priča o sarajevskom otporu tokom opsade grada devedesetih godina prošloga vijeka. Gradska alternativna scena koristila je muziku i umjetnost kako bi dovela do promjene i privukla svjetsku pažnju, a postratni koncert grupe U2 bio je proslava teško osvojene pobjede grada nad nacionalizmom. Film POLJUBITE BUDUĆNOST zasnovan je na memoarskoj knjizi Billa S. Cartera „Budale srljaju gdje se anđeli boje kročiti“. Nenad Cicin-Sain debitirao je kao reditelj 2012. filmom THE TIME BEING premijerno prikazanim na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu. Nedavno je završio rad na scenariju za film THESE PEOPLE. Njegov dokumentarni film POLJUBITE BUDUĆNOST imao je specijalnu gala premijeru na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2023. E This inescapably current story of defiance amid the Siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s follows an underground community that uses music and art to effect change and garner global attention, and the tale of a post-war concert by U2 that celebrates the city’s hard-fought triumph over ethnic nationalism. KISS THE FUTURE is based on the book “Fools Rush In: A Memoir” by Bill S. Carter.

Nenad Cicin-Sain made his directorial debut in 2012 with THE TIME BEING, which had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. He recently completed work on the screenplay for THESE PEOPLE. His documentary film, KISS THE FUTURE, premiered as a Special Gala presentation at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2023.

Kuolleet lehdet / Opalo lišće / Fallen Leaves OPALO LIŠĆE priča je o dvoje usamljenih ljudi koji se slučajno sreću jedne noći u Helsinkiju i pokušaju pronaći svoju prvu, jedinu i vječitu ljubav. Ostvarivanje tog časnog cilja otežava činjenica da je muškarac alkoholičar, ali i izgubljeni telefonski brojevi, to što zaboravljaju kako se ono drugo zove i gdje živi, te generalna sklonost života da pred ljude koji traže sreću stavlja prepreke. Ova nježna tragikomedija, za koju se ranije vjerovalo da je izgubljena, svojevrstan je nastavak trilogije o radničkoj klasi Akija Kaurismäkija. Aki Kaurismäki, svjetski poznat finski filmski autor, počeo je privlačiti pažnju krajem osamdesetih godina prošloga vijeka. Njegov opus obuhvata širok raspon filmova, od otkačenih avantura u stilu stripa, npr. KALAMARI UNIJA i LENJINGRADSKI KAUBOJI IDU U AMERIKU, do slobodnih adaptacija književnih klasika poput filmova ZLOČIN I KAZNA i HAMLET SE OKREĆE BIZNISU. Kaurismäki je dokazao sposobnost da kombinuje tmuran, mračan realizam sa britkim, ciničnim smislom za humor, naročito u djelima iz dvije trilogije: „Radnička klasa“, koja obuhvata naslove SJENKE U RAJU, ARIEL i DJEVOJKA IZ TVORNICE ŠIBICA, te „Gubitnici“, koja obuhvata filmove PLUTAJUĆI OBLACI, ČOVJEK BEZ PROŠLOSTI i SVJETLA U SUMRAKU. E FALLEN LEAVES tells the story of two lonely people who meet by chance in the Helsinki night and try to find the first, only, and ultimate love of their lives. Their path towards this honourable goal is clouded by the man’s alcoholism, lost phone numbers, their not knowing each other’s names or addresses, and life’s general tendency to place obstacles in the way of those seeking happiness. This gentle tragicomedy, previously thought to be lost, is a fourth instalment following on from director Aki Kaurismäki’s “Working Class” trilogy.

Aki Kaurismäki, the world’s best-known Finnish filmmaker, began receiving international recognition in the late 1980s. Kaurismäki’s output has ranged from wacky, comic-book-style adventures, such as CALAMARI UNION and LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA, to revisionist adaptations of literary classics such as CRIME AND PUNISHMENT and HAMLET GOES BUSINESS, and he has proved himself adept at combining gritty, noirish realism with sly, sardonic humour, especially in works collected in two trilogies: The “Working Class” trilogy, which includes the films SHADOWS IN PARADISE, ARIEL, and THE MATCH FACTORY GIRL, as well as the “Loser” trilogy, which includes DRIFTING CLOUDS, THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST, and LIGHTS IN THE DUSK.

Ona je domaćica koja brine o šestogodišnjoj kćerkici, dok njen suprug Frane zarađuje za obitelj. Njihov odnos počinje se mijenjati kada Tina izrazi želju da završi fakultet koji je napustila zbog trudnoće. Unatoč prvotnom pristanku i podršci, Frane počinje pokazivati negodovanje koje se na početku svodi na sitne sabotaže. S vremenom, sukobi postaju sve češći, a svađe sve nasilnije. Vanja Juranić hrvatska je rediteljica, scenaristica i montažerka te članica Društva hrvatskih filmskih redatelja.

The couple’s relationship begins to change when Tina expresses her desire to complete the college education she was forced to abandon due to her pregnancy.

Sirin Sanela, crnogorska muslimanka koja je napustila bivšu Jugoslaviju devedesetih godina prošlog vijeka nakon što su njen otac i grupa drugih muslimana oteti i ubijeni, vraća se na Balkan poslije dvadeset godina života u inostranstvu. Odrekla se svoga porijekla, izbrisala vlastitu kulturu i postala prava zapadnjakinja. Kažu da je prošlost strana zemlja i da ljudi kada se vraćaju nisu isti kakvi su bili kada su odlazili. Senad Šahmanović završio je osnovni i specijalistički studij filmske režije na Fakultetu dramskih umjetnosti na Cetinju u Crnoj Gori.

E Sanela, a Montenegrin of Muslim background who left the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s after her father was kidnapped and killed alongside other Muslims, comes back to the Balkans after twenty years abroad. She has betrayed her origins, erased her own culture, and become a true Westerner. They say the past is a foreign land and that the one who departs and the one who returns are not the same person.

Smrt djevojčice sa žigicama / The Death of the Little Match Girl Otok Rab, rana jesen 1992. godine. Patolog Fero, svježe rastavljen četrdesetogodišnjak, dolazi u otočki gradić u kojem je s ocem udovcem proveo veći dio svog djetinjstva, kako bi prisustvovao sprovodu kćeri svog prijatelja Globusa, male Mirne. Na otoku se, izvan sezone, događaju čudne stvari: priča se o pojavljivanju ogromnog guštera, mjesni redikul Ranko optužuje fratre da su malu Mirnu prepilili napola, a vrhunac je ubistvo ‘Djevojčice sa žigicama’ – rumunske transseksualke Marillene koja se bavila prostitucijom i svoje partnere zarazila gonorejom. Istragom ubistva bavi se Ferin dobar prijatelj, šef otočke policije Mungos, koji Feru sve više uvlači u istragu. Goran Kulenović rođen je 1971. u Zagrebu. Studirao je filmsku i televizijsku režiju na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Rediteljsku karijeru počeo devedesetih u Programu za djecu i mlade na HRT-u. Široj publici najpoznatiji kao autor, scenarist i reditelj serija CRNO-BIJELI SVIJET i BITANGE I PRINCEZE, .te igranih filmova PJEVAJTE NEŠTO LJUBAVNO i RAVNO DO DNA (kasnije dio omnibusa 24 SATA), te mnoštva muzičkih spotova za najpoznatije hrvatske izvođače, gdje je posebno uspješna saradnja s Hladnim pivom, što potvrđuju i dvije nagrade Porin u kategoriji najboljeg spota. E The island of Rab, early summer, 1992. Fero, a recently divorced, forty-year old pathologist, returns to the small island town where he spent most of his childhood living with his widowed father. He is here for the funeral of a little girl called Mirna, the daughter of his friend, Globus. As it happens, weird stuff happens on this island during the off-season: apparently, there’s a huge lizard running about; Ranko, the village idiot, is accusing the monks of sawing little Mirna in half; and, to top it all off, there’s the murder of Marillena a.k.a. “the matchstick girl” – a Romanian trans woman, and a prostitute known as the culprit for gonorrhoea cases all around the island. In charge of the investigation is Fero’s friend Mungos, the island’s chief of police, who draws Fero more and more into the investigation.

Goran Kulenović was born in Zagreb in 1971, and studied film and TV directing at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. His directorial debut came in the early 1990s with youth TV programmes for HRT, Croatia’s national television broadcaster. He is known to broader audiences as the author, screenwriter, and director of the TV shows BLACK & WHITE WORLD and BITANGE I PRINCEZE, the feature-length films PLAY ME A LOVE SONG and RAVNO DO DNA (later included in the omnibus film 24 SATA) and a huge number of music videos for top Croatian performers. Kulenović’s collaboration with the rock band Hladno pivo proved to be the most fruitful of these videos, winning him two Porin Awards for Best Video.

Uvod / Introduction Ovogodišnje izdanje programa Kinoscope može se pohvaliti nekolicinom pravih filmskih otkrića autora čija karijera tek počinje. Proputovali smo svijet – pješice, vozom, avionom i putem interneta – kako bismo istražili najodvažnije i najvažnije aktuelne filmske poduhvate. Televizijske serije trenutno uživaju status najpoželjnijeg formata za pričanje priča, ali film ostaje relevantan jer za film su važne priče, ali ne samo one već i naš pogled na svijet i trenutno stanje odnosa među ljudima, prirodom i stvarima.

Program Kinoscope Real pokrenuli smo prije par godina upravo da bismo predstavili subjektivne i kreativne pristupe našoj stvarnosti. Takav pristup u ovogodišnjem programu pronaći ćete u sedam igranih filmova. DOMOVINA Alexandera Mihalkovicha i Hanne Badyiake bavi se sudbinama ljudi u Bjelorusiji u periodu koji je, zbog ruske agresije na Ukrajinu, od strateške važnosti za tu zemlju. ČETIRI KĆERI, novi film Kaouther Ben Hanie nagrađen u Cannesu, emotivna je priča o porodici koju čine majka i njene kćeri, u kojoj su lična svjedočanstva briljantno ukomponovana u narativnu konstrukciju filma. U apsolutno zaokupljujućem filmu Mehrana Tamadona MOJ NAJGORI NEPRIJATELJ, sa Zar Ebrahimi (dobitnicom nagrade za najbolju glumicu u Cannesu za film SVETI PAUK) u jednoj od uloga, ovo dvoje umjetnika rođenih u Iranu, a koji trenutno žive u inostranstvu, ogoljavaju sami sebe na prethodno neviđen način zbog kreativnog pristupa filmu kod kojeg se autor odrekao prerogativa reditelja. Nasilje je u filmu opisano i shvaćeno na istinski dubok način. U filmu APOLONIA, APOLONIA Lea Golob donosi priču o današnjoj omladini i svim suptilnim i kompleksnim aspektima potrage za identitetom. Sličnu temu obrađuje i Paul B. Preciado u debitantskom dugometražnom filmu ORLANDO – inspirisanom tekstovima Virginije Woolf – posmatran sa velikom delikatnošću i poštovanjem, mlada usta recituju stare riječi. Sličnu temu obrađuje i Paul B. Preciado u debitantskom dugometražnom filmu ORLANDO, inspirisanom tekstovima Virginije Woolf, u kojem, s velikom delikatnošću i uvažavanjem, posmatramo kako glas mladih recituje riječi starih. U međuvremenu, originalna teza prvog dugometražnog filma katalonske rediteljice Laure Ferrés VJEČITA SLIKA jeste da je razumijevanje kolektivne prošlosti preduslov za naš privatni život u sadašnjosti.

Glavnim Kinoscope programom obuhvaćeno je šest dugometražnih filmova koji su nas osvojili svojim beskompromisnim i hrabrim filmskim jezikom i u nama probudili snažnu želju da ih podijelimo sa sjajnom sarajevskom publikom. Iz Meksika nam stiže film Lile Avilés TOTEM premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, a predstavlja istinski emotivan portret porodice u porodičnoj kući. Ovaj film, koji poklanja veliku pažnju detaljima, pogađa direktno u srce. Iz Portugala, ali sa snažnom željom za egzotičnošću, dolazi film BAAN, igrani prvenac Leonore Teles koja se prethodno dokazala dokumentarnim filmovima. DISKO IGRAČ Giacoma Abruzzesea, još jedno debitantsko ostvarenje u našem programu, gledaoce vodi na nekonvencionalno i inventivno putovanje u srce tame. Radi se o veoma stilizovanom filmu, jednom od najboljih otkrića ovogodišnjeg Berlinalea u kojem je Franz Rogowski (VELIKA SLOBODA, TRANZIT) ostvario fascinantnu ulogu. Film SAINT OMER u Sarajevo stiže s posebnom aurom (nakon što je na Filmskom festivalu u Veneciji osvojio Veliku nagradu žirija). Radi se o prvom igranom filmu autorice dokumentaraca Alice Diop inspirisanom suđenjem koje je održano u Francuskoj, ali s puno širim obuhvatom koji postavlja teška pitanja o komplikacijama arhaičnih karakteristika majčinstva. Film Sama H. Freedmana i Ng Choon Pinga FEMME uznemirujući je osvetnički queer triler smješten u Londonu. Identitet, rodna i rasna pripadnost samo su neke od tema ove višeslojne studije karaktera u kojoj su glumci ostvarili fascinantne uloge. Još jedan igrani prvenac u našem programu, film NESTAJUĆI VOJNIK Danija Rosenberga, ostavit će vas bez daha. Spremite se za eskapističko putovanje intenzivnog ritma koje će vas isprva natjerati da se zapitate da li ste u kinu ili u videoigri o preživljavanju. Selekcija našeg žanrovskog potprograma Kinoscope Sureall puna je brzine, uzbuđenja i strahova! Veoma smo uzbuđeni da s vama podijelimo šest filmova koji se bave brojnim aspektima nadrealnog. BESKONAČNI BAZEN, treći film Brandona Cronenberga s Alexanderom Skarsgårdom i Mijom Goth u glavnim ulogama, potentna je mješavina horora i naučne fantastike i ludo i vizuelno zapanjujuće iskustvo. Nikada ne zaboravite, opasnost se često krije u nama.

Film Stéphana Castanga VINCENT MORA UMRIJETI savršen je reprezent novog talasa francuskog horora, zasnovan na veoma originalnom scenariju i pun novih žanrovskih obrata. Priča o padu prema dnu u kojoj vlada napetost. Još jedan francuski žanrovski naslov iz Cannesa u našem program je drugi igrani film Thomasa Cailleya ŽIVOTINJSKO CARSTVO. Radi se o veoma ambicioznom i hrabrom filmu nabijenom emocijama, s odličnom glumačkom postavom u kojoj su i Romain Duris, Adèle Exarchopoulos i Tom Mercier. Nakon što pogledate film, nikada više nećete gledati životinje onako kako ih gledate sada. Film PREDSKAZANJE bivšeg repera Balojia također je iznenadio Cannes. Četiri osobe koje društvo optužuje da su vješci i vještice u filmu se povezuju da bi pobjegli od svoje sudbine u fantazmagorijskoj Africi. BIJEG IZ ILUZIJE je samouvjereni debitantski dugometražni film Karoline Lyngbye u kojem je teror u oku posmatrača. Nordijska šuma puna je metafizičkih prijetnji, ali strah nije jedino što je bitno, bitno je i povjerenje. Posljednji, ali ne manje bitan film u programu, POČINILAC američke rediteljice Jennifer Reeder, originalan je, linčovski, feministički queer horor s elementima parodije i pun afirmativne akcije. Ukratko, kod nas ćete naći noćne more za svaki ukus! E This year, the Kinoscope programme boasts wonderful discoveries, with a majority coming from emerging filmmakers. We have travelled around the world, on foot, by train and plane, and online to explore the most daring and relevant cinematic gestures of today. At present, we are at the apotheosis of stories being told through television’s long-format television series, but the art of cinema remains relevant – it tells stories but it also offers a gaze into our world and the current state of the dynamics between humans, nature, and objects.

This led us to create Kinoscope Real a few years ago: to present a subjective and creative approach to our reality. Six features compose this reflection on our world this year. MOTHERLAND, by Alexander Mihalkovich and Hanna Badziaka, addresses the fate of people in Belarus, in a time of strategic importance for this country because of the Russian war of aggression against

Ukraine. Cannes award winner Kaouther Ben Hania’s new opus FOUR DAUGHTERS is an emotional account of a family made up of a mother and her daughters that brilliantly combines testimony and narrative construction. In the gripping MY WORST ENEMY by Mehran Tamadon, featuring Zar Ebrahimi, winner of Cannes Award for Best Actress (HOLY SPIDER) – both born in Iran, both living abroad – expose themselves through a never-before-seen device in which a filmmaker lets go of their directing role. Here, violence is told and understood in a profound way. APOLONIA, APOLONIA, directed by Lea Glob, speaks about the youth of our times and the search for identity in all its subtlety and complexity. Working with similar themes is Paul B. Preciado with ORLANDO, his debut feature, which is inspired by the texts of Virginia Woolf – young mouths reciting old words, viewed with a very delicate and respectful gaze. Meanwhile, understanding our common past to live our intimate present is the original take of THE PERMANENT PICTURE, the first feature by Catalan director Laura Ferrés. The main programme of Kinoscope includes six features that struck us with their uncompromising and daring cinematic language and that triggered in us a strong desire to share them with the wonderful Sarajevo audience. From Mexico and launched at the Berlin International Film Festival, TOTEM, by Lila Avilés, is a truly emotional family portrait that takes place in a family house. With extreme attention to detail, the film reaches out straight into our hearts. From Portugal but with a strong desire for exoticism is BAAN, the fiction-feature debut by Leonor Teles, who has made a name for herself with her documentaries. Giacomo Abruzzese’s DISCO BOY is also a debut film, an unconventional and inventive journey into the heart of darkness. It’s a very stylish film, and one of the most remarkable discoveries at this year’s Berlinale, and features the fascinating presence of Franz Rogowski (THE GREAT FREEDOM, TRANSIT). Arriving with a very special aura – it won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival – SAINT OMER is the first fiction feature by documentary filmmaker Alice Diop. Inspired by a trial that took place in France but goes beyond it, the film asks tough questions about the intricacies of the archaic features of maternity. FEMME, by Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping, is an unsettling queer revenge thriller set

in London. Gender, identity, and race are just some of the themes of this multi-layered character study, with stunning performances by the two lead actors. Yet another debut feature, THE VANISHING SOLDIER by Dani Rosenberg, won’t let you catch your breath. Viewers are in for an intensely paced escape trip and will wonder at first if they are at the cinema or in a survival video game. The selection of our genre programme, Kinoscope Surreal! takes us from full speed to thrills and fright in full bloom. We are so excited to share six films that explore the surreal in many different aspects. INFINITY POOL, starring Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth, is the third film by Brandon Cronenberg. The potent mix of horror and sci-fi brings us a trippy and visually stunning experience. Never forget, the danger is often inside us. VINCENT MUST DIE, by Stéphane Castang, is a perfect example of the new wave of French horror, featuring original writing and full of new twists to the genre. The film is a downward spiral where tension reigns. Another French genre film from Cannes, THE ANIMAL KINGDOM is the sophomore feature by Thomas Cailley. It is a very ambitious and bold film, full of emotion, and featuring a great cast including Romain Duris, Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Tom Mercier. After watching the film, you’ll never look at animals the same way. OMEN, by rapper-turned-filmmaker Baloji, was another surprise at Cannes. Four characters, perceived as sorcerers and witches, link up to escape their assignment in a phantasmagoric Africa. SUPERPOSITION, in which terror is in the eye of the beholder, is the assured debut by Karoline Lyngbye. The Nordic Forest is full of metaphysical frights in this film that is not just about fear, but about trust. Finally, US director Jennifer Reeder’s PERPETRATOR is an original, David Lynch-influenced, queer feminist horror film with a humorous and parodic touch packed with affirmative action. There are nightmares for all tastes here! Mathilde Henrot & Alessandro Raja Selektori / Programmers

Apolonia, Apolonia Apolonia je rođena u alternativnom pozorištu u Parizu i odrasla je u zajednici umjetnika. Studirala je na jednoj od najprestižnijih evropskih umjetničkih akademija. Dugi je niz godina danska rediteljica Lea Glob pratila njezino nastojanje da nađe svoje mjesto u umjetničkom svijetu, njezine borbe s agonijama i radostima odrasle žene, odnose s drugima te vlastitim tijelom i stvaralaštvom. Kako vrijeme prolazi, a između Apolonije i Lee rađa se posebna veza, svjedočimo nastanku filma i sticanju slikarske slave. Trinaest godina kasnije, dvije žene i dalje razmišljaju o vlastitim putevima u ovom dojmljivom filmu o umjetnosti, ljubavi, majčinstvu, seksualnosti, prikazu i tome kako uspjeti u svijetu kojim vladaju patrijarhat, kapitalizam i rat, a da pritom ne izgubiš sebe. Lea Glob je diplomirala režiju na Nacionalnoj filmskoj školi u Danskoj 2011. Korežirala je film OLMO & THE SEAGULL s Petrom Costom. S Mette Carlom Albrechtsen korežirala je VENUS, dugometražni dokumentarac o seksualnosti iz ženske perspektive koji se pretvorio u razmjenu mišljenja o seksualnosti i identitetu, u pokušaju formulisanja jezika i ovladavanja ženskim tijelom. APOLONIA, APOLONIA njen je prvi samostalni dugometražni dokumentarac. E Apolonia was born in an underground theatre in Paris, grew up in an artists’ community, and studied at one of the most prestigious art academies in Europe. Over the years, Danish filmmaker Lea Glob filmed Apolonia and her struggle to find her place in the art world, grappling with the agonies and joys of womanhood, relationships with others, and her own body and creation. As time passes and a special bond grows between Apolonia and Lea, we witness a film being born and a painter rising to fame. Thirteen years on, the two women continue to reflect on each other’s paths in this mesmerising film about art, love, motherhood, sexuality, representation, and how to succeed in a world dominated by patriarchy, capitalism, and war without losing oneself.

Lea Glob graduated as a director from the National Film School of Denmark in 2011. She co-directed OLMO & THE SEAGULL with Petra Costa, and VENUS together with Mette Carla Albrechtsen - a feature documentary about sexuality from a female perspective, which became a moment to share thoughts on sexuality and identity, in an attempt to formulate a language and reclaim the female body. APOLONIA, APOLONIA is her first documentary feature as a solo director.

Baan Kada kuću ne osjećate kao dom, lutanje vam postaje rutina. Vrijeme, mjesto i emocije implodiraju, Lisabon i Bangkok se miješaju. Prošlost, sadašnjost ili možda budućnost prepliću se u priči koja počinje kada L upozna K. Leonor Teles je s debitantskim kratkim filmom BATRACHIANOVA BALADA osvojila nagradu Zlatni medvjed na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu i nagradu Vatrena ptica na festivalu u Hong Kongu. Njen prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film TERRA FRANCA osvojio je nagradu SCAM na festivalu Cinéma du Réel, dok je recentno snimljeni kratki film CÃES QUE LADRAM AOS PÁSSAROS premijerno prikazan u programu Horizonti festivala u Veneci, te je nominovan za nagradu EFA. Radi i kao filmska snimateljica. Posljednji film VIVER MAL, na kojem je u tom svojstvu sarađivala s rediteljem Joãom Canijom, nagrađen je Srebrenim medvjedom na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. E When home stops feeling like home, wandering becomes routine. Time, space, and emotions implode, blurring Lisbon with Bangkok. Past, present, or perhaps future intertwine in a story that begins when L meets K.

Leonor Teles’s debut short BATRACHIAN’S BALLAD won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and the Firebird Award at the Hong Kong International Film Fesival. ASHORE, her first feature-length documentary, won the SCAM Award at Cinéma du Réel.

Infinity Pool / Beskrajni bazen U jednom izolovanom ostrvskom odmaralištu James i Em uživaju u savršenom odmoru, prekrasnim plažama, fantastičnom osoblju i sunčanju. Na nagovor zavodljive i misteriozne Gabi, njih dvoje napuštaju odmaralište i zatiču se u okruženju punom nasilja, hedonizma i neopisivog užasa. Tragična nesreća suočava ih s politikom nulte tolerancije za kriminal: počinioci mogu biti smaknuti ili, ukoliko su dovoljno bogati, mogu posmatrati vlastitu smrt. Brandon Cronenberg je scenarista i reditelj iz Toronta. Njegov debitantski igrani film ANTIVIRAL premijerno je prikazan u zvaničnom takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, nakon čega osvaja brojne nagrade, uključujući nagradu za najbolji kanadski igrani prvenac na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu i nagradu za najboljeg novog reditelja u Sitgesu. Njegov naredni film bio je naučnofantastični triler POSSESSOR, premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu festivala Sundance, baš kao i njegov posljednji film BESKRAJNI BAZEN. E While staying at an isolated island resort, James and Em enjoy a perfect vacation of pristine beaches, exceptional staff, and soaking up the sun. But guided by the seductive and mysterious Gabi, they venture outside the resort grounds and find themselves in a culture filled with violence, hedonism, and untold horror. A tragic accident leaves them facing a zero tolerance policy for crime: either you’ll be executed, or, if you’re rich enough to afford it, you can watch yourself die instead.

Brandon Cronenberg is a writer and director from Toronto. His debut feature, ANTIVIRAL, had its premiere in the Official Selection of the Festival de Cannes, and went on to win a number of awards, including Best Canadian First Feature at the Toronto International Film Festival and Best New Director at the Sitges Film Festival.

La imatge Permanent / Vječita slika / The Permanent Picture U španskoj provinciji maloljetna majka Antonia nestaje usred noći. Pedeset godina kasnije, i znatno dalje od mjesta njenog nestanka, Carmen, introvertna casting direktorica, traži ljude koji su voljni podijeliti vlastita sjećanja na dolazak u novi grad. Tokom potrage upoznaje Antoniju, a njena impulsivna narav narušava Carmeninu samoću. Ko kaže da vrijeme liječi sve rane? Laura Ferrés je španska scenaristica i rediteljica rođena 1989. u El Prat de Llobregatu. Njen prvi kratki film LOS DESHEREDADOS premijerno je prikazan u programu Sedmica kritike Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, gdje je nagrađen kao najbolji kratki film. Film je potom prikazan na preko 80 filmskih festivala, nominovan za Evropsku filmsku nagradu i osvojio je nagradu Goya za najbolji kratki film Španske filmske akademije. VJEČITA SLIKA, njen prvi dugometražni film, premijerno je prikazan na 76. izdanju Filmskog festivala u Locarnu. E In rural southern Spain, Antonia, a teenage mother, disappears in the middle of the night. Fifty years later and much further north, Carmen, an introverted casting director, is looking for people to share their memories when they arrive in a new city. In her search, she meets Antonia, whose impulsiveness intrudes into Carmen’s solitude. Who said time heals all wounds?

Laura Ferrés, born in El Prat de Llobregat, Spain, in 1989, is a writer and director. Her first short film, THE DISINHERITED, had its premiere at the Festival de Cannes in the Semaine de la Critiques, where it won the award for Best Short Film. Since then, it has been screened at eighty film festivals, nominated for an European Film Award, and was named Best Short Film at the Spanish Film Academy’s Goya Awards. THE PERMANENT PICTURE, her first feature-length film, premiered at 76th Locarno Film Festival.

Les Filles d’Olfa / Četiri kćeri / Four Daughters Život Tunižanke Olfe i njenih četiri kćeri oscilira između svjetla i sjena. Jednoga dana njene dvije starije kćeri nestanu. Da bi popunila prazninu koja je ostala iza njih, rediteljica Kaouther Ben Hania poziva profesionalne glumce i pokreće neuobičajeni filmski mehanizam kako bi ispričala priču o Olfi i njenim kćerima. Intimno putovanje puno nade, pobune, nasilja i međugeneracijskog prenosa i sestrinstva koje preispituje same temelje našega društva. Kaouther Ben Hania studirala je film u Tunisu i Parizu. LE CHALLAT DE TUNIS, njen prvi dugometražni film, otvorio je ACID program festivala u Cannesu 2014. Nakon toga snima dugometražni dokumentarac ZAINEB TAKRAHOU ETHELJ, premijerno prikazan u zvaničnoj takmičarskoj konkurenciji festivala u Locarnu 2016. Njen igrani film AALA KAF IFRIT uvršten je u program Izvjestan pogled u Cannesu 2017, gdje je osvojio nagradu za najbolji dizajn zvuka. Njen naredni film THE MAN WHO SOLD HIS SKIN premijerno je prikazan u zvaničnoj selekciji festivala u Veneciji i 2021. je nominovan za Oskara u kategoriji najbolji strani film. Njen najrecentniji igrani film ČETIRI KĆERI uvršten je u zvaničnu takmičarsku selekciju festivala u Cannesu 2023. E The life of Olfa, a Tunisian mother of four daughters, oscillates between light and shadow. One day, her two elder daughters disappear. To fill their absence, director Kaouther Ben Hania calls upon professional actors and sets up an extraordinary film mechanism to unveil the story of Olfa and her daughters. This intimate journey full of hope, rebellion, violence, intergenerational transmission, and sisterhood questions the very foundation of our societies.

Mon pire ennemi / Moj najgori neprijatelj / My Worst Enemy Mojtaba, Hamzeh i Zar neki su od pojedinaca koji su zbog ideoloških razloga zatvarani i ispitivani u Iranu. U ovom dokumentarnom filmu reditelj im je ponudio priliku da ga ispituju poput agenata Islamske Republike. Želja mu je bila da se stvarni mučitelji u Iranu u filmu prepoznaju kao u ogledalu. Iskustvo stavljanja samih sebe u um mučitelja suočava protagoniste sa njihovim vlastitim ograničenjima i ambivalentnošću čitavog projekta. Mehran Tamadon rođen je 1972. u Teheranu. Prije nego što se okrenuo filmskoj umjetnosti, u Parizu je studirao arhitekturu. Film BASSIDJI, u kojem je dokumentovao vlastite pokušaje da stupi u dijalog sa pripadnicima Basij milicije koji su svoje živote posvetili odbrani iranskog režima, snimio je 2010. godine. Isti prinicip primijenio je i na film IRANIEN koji je 2014. godine prikazan u programu Forum Filmskog festivala u Berlinu. Njegovi novi filmovi, MOJ NAJGORI NEPRIJATELJ i GDJE BOG NIJE, predstavljeni na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2023, obrađuju temu nasilnog ispitivanja i zatočenja ljudi u Iranu. E Mojtaba, Hamzeh, and Zar are among individuals who have been thrown into prison and ideologically interrogated in Iran. In this documentary, the director wants them to interrogate him as agents of the Islamic Republic might. He would like the real torturer in Iran to see himself through the film, as if in a mirror. The subjects’ violent experience of putting themselves in the torturer’s headspace confronts them with their own limits and the ambivalence of the project itself.

Mehran Tamadon was born in Tehran in 1972. He studied architecture in Paris before turning to filmmaking. In 2010, he made BASSIDJI, in which he documented his attempts to enter into dialogue with the Basij militia, whose members have dedicated their lives to defending the Iranian regime. The same principle was applied in his film IRANIEN, which screened in the Forum section of the Berlin International Film Festivalin 2014. His most recent films, MY WORST ENEMY and WHERE GOD IS NOT, which were presented at the Berlinale in 2023, deal with the violence of interrogation and detention in Iran.

Motherland / Domovina Dok mladi Nikita nervozno otpočinje služenje obaveznog vojnog roka, Svetlana putuje diljem zemlje u potrazi za pravdom za sina ubijenog tokom vojne obuke. Godina je 2020. i aktivisti bjesne na ulicama protestvujući protiv državnog nasilja ukorijenjenog u „dedovščini“ – praksi okrutnog zlostavljanja koje, navodno, od dječaka pravi vojnike, ali zapravo je mehanizam sijanja straha i nasilja kojeg državni aparat koristi za kontrolu vlastitog stanovništva. Alexander Mihalkovich je bjelorusko-ukrajinski reditelj i producent. Doktorirao je bibliotekarstvo i magistrirao filmsku režiju u sklopu međunarodnog studijskog programa DocNomads. Nakon što je snimio nekoliko kratkih dokumentarnih i eksperimentalnih filmova, snima dugometražni prvenac MOJA BAKA SA MARSA. Film je uspješno prikazan u ukrajinskim kinima te je uvršten u program brojnih međunarodnih filmskih festivala kao što su DOK.fest u Münchenu, Beldocs u Beogradu, Sarajevo Film Festival, Međunarodni festival dokumentarnog filma Ji.hlava i festival Eastern Neighbours.

Film DOMOVINA, koji potpisuje kao ko-rediteljica, njen je prvi dugometražni dokumentarac. E As young Nikita apprehensively enters his military conscription, Svetlana travels the country looking for justice for her son, who was murdered while in military training. It is 2020, and activists rage in the street against state-led violence rooted in “dedovshchina” – the cruel abuse that supposedly turns boys into soldiers but that is instead the very mechanism of fear and violence the government uses to control its populace.

Alexander Mihalkovich is a Belarusian-Ukrainian director and producer. He holds a PhD in library science and an MA in film directing from the DocNomads international study programme.

Orlando, ma biographie politique / Orlando – moja politička biografija / Orlando – My Political Biography Virginia Woolf je 1928. godine napisala roman Orlando, prvi roman u kojem glavni lik usred priče mijenja pol. Stotinu godina kasije, transrodni pisac i aktivista Paul B. Preciado odlučio je poslati filmsko pismo Virginiji Woolf: njen Orlando izašao je iz okvira njene mašte i živi životom koji ona nije mogla ni zamisliti. Paul B. Preciado je pisac, filozof, kustos i jedan od vodećih mislilaca u oblasti politike roda i tijela. Njegovi brojni profesionalni angažmani uključuju poziciju kustosa javnih programa kao što su umjetnička izložba Documenta 14 (Kassel/Atina) i Tajvanski paviljon u Veneciji 2019, te poziciju šefa istraživačkog odjela Muzeja moderne umjetnosti u Barseloni. Njegove knjige „Kontraseksualni Manifesto“, „Testo ovisnik“, „Pornotopija“, „Stan na Uranu“, „Može li čudovište govoriti“ i „Disforija mundi“ referentna su literatura u oblasti queer, trans i ne-binarne moderne umjetnosti i aktivizma. Rođen je u Španiji, a živi u Parizu. E In 1928, Virginia Woolf wrote “Orlando”, the first novel in which the main character changes gender in the middle of the story. A century later, trans writer and activist Paul B. Preciado decides to send a film letter to Woolf: her Orlando has come out of her fiction and is living a life she could have never imagined.

Uvod / Introduction U svijetu koji je postao veoma zamršen – u nekim aspektima veoma brzo, a u drugim sporo do tačke bespomoćnosti – dio fimova u ovogodišnjoj selekciji evropskog kratkog filma suočava nas s gubicima koje, kao ljudska vrsta, trpimo pod naivnom, često idealiziranom krinkom “nevinosti” i “progresa”.

Bianca Lucas

Dva tematska bloka našeg programa direktno se suočavaju s konceptom nevinosti kroz njene najpoznatije reprezente: djecu i njihova iskustva u svijetu koji oblikuju odluke odraslih. Nevinost se u ovom slučaju pojavljuje kao pandan odgovornosti, kako u roditeljstvu tako i u građanskom iskustvu života obilježenog sukobom, postavljajući pred nas pitanje: da li je nevinost oduzeta onima kojima je prethodno data i, ako jeste, gdje je otišla? Kroz čitavu selekciju posmatramo kako djeca gledaju ono što ne bi trebali i čine ono što se od njih ne očekuje dok odrasli naizgled posrću u ulogama koje su im dodijeljene. U filmu TIHO BUĐENJE (Daniel Asadi Faezi, Mila Zhluktenko) upoznajemo likove koji se muče da kontekstualiziraju rat, u filmu IZGUBLJENA DJECA (Lola Cambourieu, Yann Berlier) one koji se muče da obezbijede sredstva za život i održe stabilnost, dok film ROĐENDANSKA ZABAVA (Francesco Sossai) predstavlja uobičajenu situaciju u kojoj se odrasli muče sa čudnim zadatkom prikrivanja i otkrivanja djeci potencijalno uznemirujuće stvarnosti. Nit nevinosti provlači se kroz te filmske svjetove, prisutna na neočekivanim mjestima i upadljivo odsutna tamo gdje smo navikli da bude, ali sadržana u jeziku svakog od filmova, pa tako i filma KOMŠIJA ABDI (Douwe

Dijkstra) u kojem provejava kroz sve modele gradova i pištolje igračke. Svaki od pažljivo konstruisanih filmova ostavlja nas s osjećajem uvažavanja, ali i navodi da propitujemo način na koji filmska umjetnost kreira prostor za “nevinost” u tranziciji. Drugim riječima: kako djetinjstvo, delikatni period u životu svakog od nas tokom kojeg se cementira većina naših budućih trauma i nada, izgleda i kakve osjećaje pobuđuje u današnje vrijeme? I do koje mjere nove forme filmskog izraza mogu senzibilizirati svijest gledalaca o tome? Filmovi u drugom tematskom bloku, koji pokušavaju shvatiti oblik novoga svijeta, uvlače nas u brzace tehnološkog (pa samim tim i kapitalističkog) razvoja koji više nije samo slutnja već zauzima značajan prostor u našim svakodnevnim životima. Taj vrtoglavi razvoj, koji je sam sebi svrha, istovremeno je učinio da svijet doživljavamo i previše stvarnim i potpuno udaljenim, poput snova na javi ili, kako televizijski najavljivač u filmu ESHATON AD (Andrea Gatopoulus) sugeriše: “Snova koji se čine poput pokretnih traka koje ne možete isključiti.” Snimljeni, animirani i generisani likovi u ovim filmovima s teškoćom razlučuju sitne od ozbiljnih problema, moguće od nemogućih nevolja, pojavljujući se pred nama s utješnom prepoznatljivošću načina na koji je život postao istovremeno apsurdan i ozbiljan i neizvjesnosti konstruisane intime. “Ja sam ti, ali ne znam sve o tebi”, kaže glas roboterapeuta na početku filma THETA (Lawrence Lek), a eho te poruke odjekuje između redova u proročkim objavama u filmu NEŠTO POPUT TESTAMENTA (Stephen Vuillemin). Čini se da je budućnost koju smo

gradili već stigla, ali, baš kao u filmovima VELIKA KONEKCIJA (Christen Bach) i FATAMORGANA (Daood Albdulaa), pozvani smo da priznamo, otkrijemo ili smislimo šta zapravo vidimo sada kada je ona tu. Želim uzeti trenutak da gledaoce ohrabrim da se aktivno povežu s ovom selekcijom senzitivnih, promišljenih i suptilno buntovnih filmova, te da se poimenično zahvalim svima koji su, od početka do kraja, pomogli u oblikovanju ovogodišnjeg programa evropskog kratkog filma Izeti Građević, Šejli Lajlani, Korée Wilrycx, Kseniji Bespalovoj, Janildi Bartolomeu i Farah Hasanbegović. E In a world that has become so tangled – so quick in some ways, yet glacially still to a point of helplessness in many – some of the films in this year’s European Shorts selection face the losses we as humans endure under the unsuspecting, often idealised veneer of ‘innocence’ and ‘progress’.

The matter of innocence is addressed head-on in one of the two themes running through the selected films. And it does so in its most iconic representation: the experience of a child in a world shaped by the decisions of adults. Innocence appears here as a counterpart of responsibility – as in parenthood, so in the civic experiences of life marked by conflict. We are asked to consider whether innocence has been taken away from those to whom it was previously granted, and, if so, where has it gone?

Throughout the selection, we watch children see and do things we don’t expect them to, while adults seem to stumble in their assigned roles. We are presented with characters struggling to contextualise war, as they do in WAKING UP IN SILENCE by Daniel Asadi Faezi and Mila Zhluktenko, struggling to provide for their families and stay afloat, as in LOST CHILDREN by Lola Cambourieu and Yann Berlier, and, often, as in Francesco Sossai’s BIRTHDAY PARTY, struggling with the odd task of obscuring and revealing the potentially disturbing realities of the world for the young to discover. Innocence winds its way through these worlds – it is found in unexpected places and glaringly absent where we have come to expect it, but is also contained in the language of each film, stretching through the green-screen model cities and toy guns of Douwe Dijkstra’s NEIGHBOUR ABDI. Each carefully crafted production leaves us not only appreciating but also questioning the ways in which cinema holds space for a global ‘innocence’ in transition. They pose the questions: What does childhood, that delicate moment in all of our lives during which many of our future traumas and hopes are cemented, look and feel like in this day and age? To what extent might new forms of cinematic expression sensitise a viewer’s attention to the large and small events that have a permanent effect on our children? Grappling with the shapes of a new world, films in this year’s selection also pull us into the rapids of technological (and, by extension, capitalistic) progress that no longer only looms over us, but takes up significant real estate in

all daily life. This dizzying progress for the sake of progress has at once made the world feel too real and far away, a waking dream, or, as the uncanny presenter of ESCHATON AD by Andrea Gatopoulos suggests: ‘Dreams that feel like treadmills you can’t turn off.’ Filmed, animated, and generated, the characters in these films have trouble discerning between small and large problems, between possible and impossible maladies – appearing before us with the comforting familiarity of the way that life has become at once absurd and serious, of the uncertainty of constructed intimacies. ‘I am you, but I do not know everything about you’, we hear from the robot therapist in Lawrence Lek’s THETA, a thought echoed between the lines in the prophetic announcements of Stephen Vuillemin’s A KIND OF TESTAMENT. The future we have been working towards seems to have arrived- but, as in Christen Bach’s THE GREAT CONNECTION and Daood Alabdulaa’s FATA MORGANA, we are invited to admit, uncover, or invent what we actually see now that we have arrived. I encourage audiences to engage with these sensitive, thoughtful, and subtly rebellious films, and would like to thank everyone who helped define this year’s European Shorts selection from start to finish: Janilda Bartolomeu, Kseniia Bespalova, Izeta Gradević, Farah Hasanbegović, Sejla Lajlani, and Korée Wilrycx.

Treći – GALEBOVI SIJEKU NEBO – prenosi atmosferu sindikalnih protesta u luci Porto, dok Clara, vlasnica bara kojem prijeti gašenje, jedinu utjehu i mjesto gdje može govoriti o svojim strahovima nalazi u naručju konobarice Raquel na brodovima za krstarenje.

Nakon Cvite je Stjepko jer je muškarac. Lučana se pokušava izboriti za majčinu ljubav čineći male spačke bratu Stjepku. Borba je uzaludna jer Lučana nažalost ne može promijeniti što joj je među nogama. Ana Šiškov rođena je u Splitu 1999.

Zofova patološka ljubomora navodi ga na iracionalno, pa čak psihotično ponašanje. Kada ga ostavi djevojka, Zof se još više zbližava sa svojom stafordicom Lotom, s kojom provodi najviše vremena. Njegov odnos sa psom reflektira Zofovo ponašanje prema ljudima koji su mu najbliži. Rino Barbir rođen je u Splitu 1988. Diplomirao je snimanje na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Kao direktor fotografije radio je na brojnim filmovima kao što su MED I MLIKO, MORSKA PJENA i MEDO MALI. Za rediteljski prvenac DRUKER nagrađen je Zlatnim kolicima za najbolji hrvatski film u programu Kockice 17. Zagreb Film Festivala. E Zof’s pathological jealousy leads him to irrational, even psychotic behaviour. When his girlfriend leaves him, Zof becomes even closer to his Stafford dog, Lota, with whom he spends most of his time. His relationship with the dog reflects Zofs behaviour towards the people closest to him. Rino Barbir was born in Split in 1988 and graduated from the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. As a director of photography, he worked on numerous films, such as MILK AND HONEY, SEA FOAM, and LITTLE BEAR. SNITCH, his directorial debut, was awarded the Golden Pram for Best Croatian Short in the Checkers programme of the 17th Zagreb Film Festival.

Anatomie d’une chute / Anatomija pada / Anatomy of a Fall Njemačka književnica Sandra, njen muž Francuz Samuel i njihov jedanaestogodišnji sin Daniel godinu dana mirno su živjeli u jednom izolovanom gradiću u francuskim Alpama. Nakon što Samuelovo beživotno tijelo biva pronađeno u snijegu podno njihove planinske kuće, policija istražuje da li je on počinio samoubistvo ili je ubijen. Samuelova smrt djeluje sumnjivo, a Sandra postaje glavna osumnjičena. Malo po malo istraga se širi na način da ne obuhvata samo okolnosti Samuelove smrti već prerasta u uznemirujuće psihološko zaranjanje u dubinu Sandrine i Samuelove konfliktne veze. Justine Triet diplomirala je na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti (ENSBA) u Parizu. Njen prvi kratki igrani film VILAINE FILLE, MAUVAIS GARÇON osvojio je brojne festivalske nagrade u Francuskoj i inostranstvu, uključujući nagradu Evropske filmske akademije i Veliku nagradu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2012. Njen dugometražni igrani prvenac LA BATAILLE DE SOLFÉRINO uvršten je u selekciju programa ACID u Cannesu 2013, te je 2014. nominovan za nagradu César za najbolji debitantski film. Njen drugi dugometražni igrani film IN BED WITH VICTORIA otvorio je Sedmicu kritike Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2016. i nominovan je za pet nagrada César. SIBYL, njen treći igrani film, bio je u konkurenciji za Zlatnu palmu u Cannesu 2019. Istoimenu nagradu je osvojila 2023. za film ANATOMIJA PADA. E For the past year, Sandra, a German writer, her French husband Samuel, and their eleven-yearold son Daniel have lived a secluded life in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he committed suicide or was killed. Samuel’s death is treated as suspicious, presumed a murder, and Sandra becomes the prime suspect. Little by little, the trial becomes not just an investigation of the circumstances of Samuel’s death, but an unsettling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel’s conflicted relationship.

Justine Triet is a graduate of the École Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Her first short fiction fiolm, TWO SHIPS, won a number of prizes at French and international festivals, including a European Film Award and the Prix UIP at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2012. Her debut feature, AGE OF PANIC, was selected for ACID at the Festival de Cannes in 2013 and was nominated for the César Award for Best First Film in 2014. IN BED WITH VICTORIA, her second feature, opened the Semaine de la critique in Cannes in 2016 and was nominated for five Césars. SIBYL, her third feature, competed for the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2019. ANATOMY OF A FALL, her fourth feature, won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2023.

Joan Baez I am a Noise / Joan Baez: ja sam buka Nakon šest decenija duge karijere, u 82. godini života Joan Baez kreće na posljednju turneju opraštajući se ne samo od svjetala pozornice već i od uloge vodeće aktivistice koja je učestvovala u nekim od najvažnijih bitaka za građanska prava. Osim o njenim prekrasnim pjesmama, saradnji s Dylanom i učešću u javnim bitkama koje su je pretvorile u legendu, film govori i o djetinjstvu male Joanie, kćerke rasno miješanog para koja je rasizam iskusila iz prve ruke, njenoj mladosti i demonima koje je uspjeh probudio u njoj, ali i o njenim zrelim godinama i bolnim uspomenama koje cure kroz pukotine u njenoj nevjerovatnoj harizmi. Karen O’Connor je s Mirom Navasky producirala, napisala i režirala nekoliko nagrađivanih filmova, uključujući THE NEW ASYLUMS, nominovan za nagradu Emmy te je osvojio nagradu za novinarstvo Robert F. Kennedy, THE UNDERTAKING, film o smrtnosti i tuzi koji je nagrađen Emmyjem, te GROWING UP TRANS, koji je osvojio nagradu duPont-Columbia 2016. Miri Navasky je prije više od dvije decenije s Karen O’Connor osnovala kompaniju Mead Street Films. Njihovi imerzivni i potresni dokumentarci uključuju filmove THE KILLER AT THURSTON HIGH, nagrađen Banff nagradom, te THE SUICIDE PLAN, nominovan za nagradu Emmy. Maeve O’Boyle obavljala je razne poslove na brojnim filmskim projektima, uključujući i posao montažerke dokumentarnog filma THE EDUCATION OF MOHAMMAD HUSSEIN koji je ušao u uži izbor za nagradu Oscar. Koproducirala je i montirala film FIRESTONE i THE WARLORD koji je osvojio nagrade Emmy i IRA. E After a sixty-year-long career, Joan Baez, now eighty-two, goes on tour for the last time, bidding farewell not only to the stage but also to her role as a leading activist who took part in some of the world’s most significant civil rights struggles. In addition to Baez’s wonderful songs, her collaborations with Bob Dylan, and the public struggles that made her a living legend, the film sheds light on little Joanie, who was born to a mixed-race family and experienced racism firsthand; on Joan the young woman, whose success awakened dark demons within her; and on the mature Joan, as painful memories seep through the cracks of her immense charisma.

Karen O’Connor has produced, written, and directed, together with Miri Navasky, award-winning films, including the Emmy-nominated THE NEW ASYLUMS, which won the Robert F. Kennedy Grand Prize Journalism Award; the Emmy-winning THE UNDERTAKING, an exploration of mortality and grief; and the Emmy-nominated GROWING UP TRANS, which won a duPont-Columbia Award in 2016. Miri Navasky co-founded Mead Street Films with Karen O’Connor over twenty years ago. Their immersive and compelling documentaries include the Banff-award-winning THE KILLER AT THURSTON HIGH and the Emmy-nominated THE SUICIDE PLAN. Maeve O’Boyle has worked in various positions on numerous projects including as editor of the documentary THE EDUCATION OF MOHAMMAD HUSSEIN which was shortlisted for an Oscar. She coproduced and edited FIRESTONE AND THE WARLORD which won an Emmy and an IRE Award.

La chimera / Himera Svako od nas ima vlastitu Himeru – cilj koji pokušava postići, ali nikada u tome ne uspijeva. Grupa istraživača i pljačkaša starih grobnica i arheoloških nalazišta Himeru doživljava kao iskupljenje za svoj posao i svoje snove o lakom bogaćenju. Arthur Himeru zamišlja poput Beniamine, žene koju je izgubio. Da bi je pronašao, Arthur je spreman suprotstaviti se nevidljivim silama, okrenuti svaki kamen i spustiti se pod zemlju u potrazi za vratima koja vode u mitološki zagrobni svijet. Isprepletene sudbine likova ovoga filma razotkrivaju se tokom njihovog avanturističkog putovanja u potrazi za Himerom između svijeta živih i svijeta mrtvih, između šuma i gradova, proslava i samoće. Alice Rohrwacher rođena je 1981. u Fiesoleu, a studirala je u Torinu i Lisabonu. Radila je na muzičkim i dokumentarnim projektima, te kao pozorišna urednica i kompozitorica. Njen prvi igrani film CORPO CELESTE svjetsku premijeru imao je u programu 15 dana autora Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, a LE MERAVIGLIE je 2014. na istom festivalu osvojio Veliku nagradu žirija. Za film SRETAN KAO LAZZARO 2018. u Cannesu osvaja nagradu za najbolji scenarij. I njen četvrti igrani film HIMERA premijeru je imao u zvaničnoj selekciji festivala u Cannesu, dok je film LE PUPILLE iz 2023. nominovan za Oskara u kategoriji najbolji kratkometražni igrani film. E Everyone has their own Chimera, something they try but never manage to achieve. For the band of tombaroli, thieves of ancient grave goods and archaeological wonders, the Chimera means redemption from work and the dream of easy wealth. For Arthur, the Chimera looks like Benjamina, the woman he lost. To find her, Arthur challenges the invisible, searches everywhere, and goes inside the earth in search of the door to the afterlife of which myths speak. In an adventurous journey between the living and the dead, between forests and cities, between celebrations and solitudes, the intertwined destinies of these characters unfold, all in search of the Chimera.

Alice Rohrwacher was born in Fiesole, Italy, in 1981, and studied in Turin and Lisbon. She has worked on music and documentary projects, and as an editor and composer for theatre. Her first featurelength film, CORPO CELESTE, had its world premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Festival de Cannes, and her second, LE MERAVIGLIE, won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes in 2014. In 2018, with HAPPY AS LAZZARO, she received the Best Screenplay award at Cannes. LA CHIMERA, her fourth feature, premiered in the Official Selection at Cannes. In 2023, her short film LE PUPILLE was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.

Perfect Days / Savršeni dani Hirayama je naizgled savršeno zadovoljan svojim jednostavnim životom čistača toaleta u Tokiju. Uz jasno definisanu dnevnu rutinu, strastveni je ljubitelj muzike i književnosti. Voli i fotografiše drveće. Serija neočekivanih susreta postupno otkriva više informacija o njegovoj prošlosti. Duboko dirljiva i poetična refleksija o pronalasku ljepote u svijetu koji nas okružuje. Wim Wenders je međunarodno priznanje stekao tokom sedamdesetih godina kao jedan od pionira novog njemačkog filma i smatra se jednim od najvažnijih autora u historiji kinematografije. Proboj na međunarodnu scenu ostvario je filmom PRIJATELJ IZ AMERIKE 1977. i od tada kontinuirano radi u Evropi i SAD-u, kao i Latinskoj Americi, Aziji i Australiji. Dobitnik je mnogobrojnih nagrada, između ostalih Zlatne palme i nagrade Britanske akademije filmske umjetnosti za PARIS, TEXAS, nagrade za najboljeg reditelja u Cannesu za NEBO NAD BERLINOM, Zlatnog lava u Veneciji za STANJE STVARI i Srebrnog medvjeda za HOTEL OD MILION DOLARA na Međunarodnom filmskom festival u Berlinu. Njegovi dokumentarni filmovi BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB, PINA i SO ZEMLJE su nominovani za nagradu Oskar. E Hirayama seems entirely content with his simple life as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. Outside his very structured everyday routine, he enjoys a passion for music and books. And he loves trees and takes photos of them. A series of unexpected encounters gradually reveals more of his past. A deeply moving and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.

Wim Wenders came to international prominence as one of the pioneers of the New German Cinema during the 1970s and is considered to be one of the most important figures in the history of film. His international breakthrough came with THE AMERICAN FRIEND in 1977. Since then, Wenders has continued to work both in Europe and in the United States, as well as in Latin America, Asia, and Australia, and has been honoured with numerous awards from festivals around the world, among them the Palme d’Or at the Festival de Cannes and a British Film Academy Award for PARIS, TEXAS; the Director’s Prize in Cannes for WINGS OF DESIRE; the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for THE STATE OF THINGS; and the Silver Bear for THE MILLION DOLLAR HOTEL at the Berlin International Film Festival. His documentary films BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB, PINA, and THE SALT OF THE EARTH have all been nominated for Academy Awards.

Robot Dreams / Snovi jednog robota DOG živi na Manhattanu i umoran je od samovanja. Jednoga dana odluči sebi izgraditi prijatelja – robota. Prijateljstvo DOGA i robota cvjeta sve dok ne postanu nerazdvojni vodeći život karakterističan za New York osamdesetih godina prošloga vijeka. Jedne noći DOG je prisiljen ostaviti robota na plaži, što ga ispunjava velikom tugom. Da li će se njih dvojica ikada opet sresti? Film SNOVI JEDNOG ROBOTA zasnovan je na grafičkoj noveli Sare Varon.

Roter Himmel / Crveno nebo / Afire Skromna vikendica na obali Baltičkog mora. Dani su vreli, sedmicama nije padala kiša. Četvoro mladih, starih i novih prijatelja, okuplja se. Njihove emocije – sreća, požuda, ljubav, ali i ljubomora, ogorčenje i napetost – buknut će istovremeno sa žednom šumom koja ih okružuje. Šuma gori, a vatra im se ubrzano približava. Christian Petzold rođen je 1960. u Hildenu, Njemačka, a od 1981. živi u Berlinu. Studirao je njemački jezik i književnost na Slobodnom univerzitetu u Berlinu, a zatim od 1988. do 1994. i film na Njemačkoj akademiji za film i televiziju (DFFB), također u Berlinu. STANJE U KOJEM SE NALAZIM, film koji je snimio 2000, osvojio je zlato na dodjeli Njemačkih filmskih nagrada. S filmom BARBARA osvojio je Srebrenog medvjeda za najbolju režiju na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2012. Njegov posljednji film CRVENO NEBO osvojio je Srebrenog medvjeda – Veliku nagradu žirija na 73. izdanju festivala u Berlinu. E A small holiday house by the Baltic Sea. The days are hot, and it hasn’t rained in weeks. Four young people come together, friends old and new. As the parched forests around them begin to ignite, so do their emotions. Happiness, lust, and love; but also jealousy, resentment, and tensions. Meanwhile the forests burn. And before long, the flames arrive.

Christian Petzold was born in Hilden, Germany, in 1960, and has lived in Berlin since 1981. He studied German and drama at the Freie Universität Berlin and then, from 1988 to 1994, film at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB). Made in 2000, his film THE STATE I AM IN won the Gold prize at the German Film Awards; he was awarded the Silver Bear for Best Director for BARBARA at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2012. AFIRE, his latest feature, won the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the 73rd Berlinale.

Posvećeno / Tribute To Jessica Hausner

Jessica Hausner

Ovogodišnji retrospektivni program posvećen je rediteljici, scenaristici i producentici Jessici Hausner. Iako rođena i odrasla u Beču, Hausner se teško može smatrati samo austrijskom autoricom. Filmove je snimala kako u Austriji tako i u Njemačkoj, Luksemburgu, Francuskoj i Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu. Ili, kako Hausner sama kaže, ni ona sama nikada nije smatrala da pravi strogo austrijske filmove, već uvijek na umu ima međunarodnu publiku, jer filmovi koje radi nisu naturalistički. Prije svega je zanima bajkovit način pripovijedanja priča, a bajke same po sebi nisu determinisane čak ni vremenskim kategorijama prošlosti ili budućnosti. Stoga i Hausner preferira egzistencijalističku tačku gledišta u svojim djelima. Jessica Hausner studirala je režiju na Filmskoj akademiji u Beču, zajedno s kolegama rediteljima Barbarom Albertom i Antoninom Svobodom, te direktorom fotografije Martinom Gschlachtom. Njih četvero su 1999. godine u Beču osnovali producentsku kuću coop99 koja je koja je, od tada pa do danas, uvijek bila među glavnim producentima Hausnerinih filmova. Još tokom studija Hausner režira dva zapažena kratka filma – FLORA, koji na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu 1996. godine dobija nagradu Leopard sutrašnjice, te INTER-VIEW, diplomski kratki film koji svjetsku premijeru ima u okviru Cinéfondation programa Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. S ovim filmom Hausner osvaja Nagradu žirija (Prix du Jury). Od tada, Cannes će biti pozornica premijera gotovo svih njenih sljedećih filmova, da bi 2016. godine i Hausner postala jednom od članova i članica žirija ovog prestižnog festivala unutar programa Izvjestan pogled.

Tokom ovogodišnjeg izdanja Sarajevo Film Festivala naša publika će biti u prilici pogledati šest dugometražnih ostvarenja ove prestižne evropske autorice, koja se protežu od žanra tinejdžerske i romantične drame sve do horora i misterije. Većina ovih filmova prikazana je tokom godina u raznim programima festivala. Jessica Hausner je bila gošća 23. Sarajevo Film Festivala, kada je otvorila 11. izdanje programa Talents Sarajevo. Njen najnoviji film CLUB ZERO također će, pored Tribute to sekcije, biti prikazan i u okviru ovogodišnjeg izdanja Open Air programa. Drama o problemima odrastanja LJUPKA RITA, Hausnerin dugometražni prvenac, premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu u okviru programa Izvjestan pogled 2001. godine. Njen drugi film HOTEL, linčovski spoj misterije i horora, 2004. je također premijerno prikazan u istom programu u Cannesu. Godine 2009. LOURDES, misterija o čudotvornom izlječenju, uvršten je u takmičarski program Venecijanskog filmskog festivala gdje je osvojio FIPRESCI nagradu. Film AMOUR FOU, romantična komedija inspirisana samoubistvom pjesnika Henricha von Kleista, premijerno je prikazan u programu Izvjestan pogled 2014, a MALI JOE, film o čarobnom cvijetu i njegovom uticaju na inženjerku koja ga je uzgojila i njenog tinejdžerskog sina, peti dugometražni film Jessice Hausner i njen prvenac na engleskom jeziku, bio je u tamičarskom programu festivala u Cannesu 2019. godine. Za ovaj film Emily Beecham osvojila je nagradu za najbolju glumicu. Njen najnoviji film CLUB ZERO, koji kroz kontekst aktualne teme poremećaja ishrane govori o mnogo široj temi uticaja i vjerovanja koje se od

jedne osobe širi i postaje vjera šireg socijalnog kruga, imao je svjetsku premijeru na 76. izdanju Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Snimljeni u raznim žanrovima, u različitim državama i na različim jezicima, ponekad sa velikim glumačkim imenima, a ponekad sa naturščicima, šest filmova koji čine ovu retrospektivu ponudit će širu sliku kako o evropskom društvu danas, tako i o nama samima i izazovima sa kojima se, kao ljudska bića, susrećemo. Balansirajući između tragedije i komedije, često sa primjesom humora koja dolazi iz same apsurdnosti života, Hausnerini filmovi definitivno nisu realistički odraz naše stvarnosti, već prije svega ogledalo koje snažnim vizualnim stilom oslikava strahove, nedoumice, dileme, vjerovanja i požude koje živimo. E This year’s Tribute to programme is dedicated to director, scriptwriter, and producer Jesssica Hausner. While she was born and raised in Vienna, Hausner does not consider herself to be a typical Austrian filmmaker. Her films have been shot and produced in Austria, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom. Hausner herself explains that she never considered her films to be particularly Austrian; she has always tried to make films that will have an international audience. Above all, she is interested in fairytale narratives, and by their very nature, fairy tales are not determined by time categories of the past or future.

Hausner studied directing at the Film Academy in Vienna, together with fellow directors Barba-

ra Albert and Antonin Svoboda, and director of photography Martin Gschlacht. In 1999, the four of them founded the Vienna-based production company coop99, which has since been one of the main producers of all Hausner’s films. During her studies, Hausner directed two notable short films: FLORA, which received the Leopard of Tomorrow Award at the Locarno Film Festival in 1996; and INTER-VIEW, her graduate short film, which had its world premiere as part of the Cinéfondation programme at the Festival de Cannes in 1999. With this second film, Hausner won the Prix du Jury, and began her relationship with the Festival de Cannes, where the world premieres of almost all of her subsequent films have been presented. In 2016, Hausner was a member of the jury of the prestigious festival, for the films in the Un Certain Regard section. During this year’s edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival, audiences have the opportunity to watch six of this celebrated European auteur’s feature-length works, which range in genre from teen and romantic drama to horror and mystery. Most of these films have been shown previously in various programs of the festival, and Hausner was a special guest of the 23rd Sarajevo Film Festival when she opened the 11th edition of the Talents Sarajevo training platform. Her most recent film, CLUB ZERO, is presented this year in the Open Air programme. The coming-of-age drama LOVELY RITA, Hausner’s feature directorial debut, premiered at Cannes in the Un Certain Regard programme in 2001. Three years later, her second film, HOTEL,

a Lynchian combination of mystery and horror, also premiered in Un Certain Regard. LOURDES, a meditation on a possible miracle, was presented in the competition of the Venice Film Festival in 2009, when it won the FIPRESCI Prize. AMOUR FOU, a romantic comedy inspired by the suicide pact of the poet Henrich von Kleist and Henriette Vogel, premiered in Un Certain Regard in 2014. Hausner’s fifth feature and her English-language debut came with LITTLE JOE, a film about a magical flower and its impact on the woman who engineered it and her teenage son, was selected for the Official Competition at Cannes in 2019, when its lead actor Emily Beecham won the award for Best Actress. CLUB ZERO, Hausner’s latest film, also had its world premiere at Cannes, again in the Official Competition. Film CLUB ZERO, through the context of the current topic of nutrition, talks about a much broader subjects of influence and belief that spreads from one person to another and becomes the belief of a wider social circle. Made in various genres, in different countries and in different languages, sometimes with big acting names and sometimes with a nonprofessional actors, the six films that make up this retrospective will offer a broader picture of European society today, as well as of ourselves as human beings. With a strong visual style, balancing between tragedy and comedy, often with an admixture of humor that comes from the very absurdity of life, Hausner’s films are not a direct reflection of our reality, but above all a mirror that depicts the fears, doubts, dilemmas, beliefs and desires we live with.

Amour Fou Berlin u doba romantizma. Mladi pjesnik Heinrich putem ljubavi želi pobijediti neizbježnu smrt, ali ne uspijeva uvjeriti svoju skeptičnu rodicu Marie da sa njim sklopi samoubilački pakt. Dok se pokušava pomiriti sa odbijanjem, i duboko povrijeđen njenom neosjetljivošću na snagu njegovih osjećanja, Heinrich upoznaje Henriette, suprugu svog poslovnog partnera. Prijedlog koji joj nedugo potom daje isprva ne privlači Henriette, ali to se mijenja nakon što ona sazna da je smrtno bolesna. AMOUR FOU je „romantična komedija“ inspirisana samoubistvom pjesnika Henricha von Kleista 1811. godine. E Berlin, the Romantic Era. Young poet Heinrich wishes to conquer the inevitability of death through love, yet is unable to convince his sceptical cousin Marie to join him in a suicide pact. It is whilst coming to terms with this refusal, ineffably distressed by his cousin’s insensitivity to the depth of his feelings, that Heinrich meets Henriette, the wife of a business acquaintance. Heinrich’s subsequent offer to the beguiling young woman at first holds scant appeal, until Henriette discovers she is suffering from a terminal illness. AMOUR FOU is a “romantic comedy” based loosely on the suicide of the poet Henrich von Kleist in 1811.

Little Joe / Mali Joe Alice je samohrana majka i predana inžinjerka agronomije zaposlena u korporaciji koja se bavi uzgojem novih biljnih vrsta. Uzgojila je izuzetan grimizni cvijet koji ne samo da je lijep već ima i izuzetnu terapeutsku vrijednost. Naime, ako se drži na idealnoj temperaturi, pravilno prehranjuje i ako se sa njim razgovara, cvijet osobu koja ga posjeduje čini sretnom. Protivno pravilima svoje kompanije, Alice jedan cvijet nosi kući na poklon svome sinu, tinejdžeru Joeu. Njih dvoje ga odluče nazvati „mali Joe“, ali kako cvijet raste tako raste i Alicina sumnja da biljka nije baš tako bezopasna kao što njeno ime sugeriše. E Alice, a single mother, is a dedicated senior plant breeder at a corporation engaged in developing new species. She has engineered a very special crimson flower, remarkable not only for its beauty but also for its therapeutic value: if kept at the ideal temperature, fed properly, and spoken to regularly, this plant makes its owner happy. Against company policy, Alice takes one home as a gift for her teenage son, Joe. They christen it ‘Little Joe’ but, as it grows, so too does Alice’s suspicion that her new creation may not be as harmless as its nickname suggests.

Uvod / Introduction Ovogodišnji program Suočavanje s prošlošću kreće na zadivljujuće putovanje koje se proteže od evokativnih narativa o Drugom svjetskom ratu – kao u majstorski režiranom filmu MARŠ NA RIM Marca Cousinsa – do današnjih dana. Ostajemo ganuti transformativnim iskustvom predočenim u filmu DELEGACIJA talentiranog Asafa Sabana, o dirljivom posjetu mladih izraelskih studenata memorijalnom centru u Poljskoj. Također, u nekoliko filmova u ovogodišnjem programu istražujemo historijsku pozadinu Sarajeva, grada s bogatom prošlošću, te otkrivamo duboko lične priče koje bi se mogle činiti gotovo nepojmljivima s današnje tačke gledišta – ipak, ove priče, iako naizgled nadrealne, ostaju neizbrisiv dio stvarnosti. NAJSRETNIJI ČOVJEK NA SVIJETU Teone Mitevske i scenaristice Elme Tataragić plete zadivljujuću pripovijest, izaziva našu percepciju stvarnosti i potiče nas da preispitamo granice ljudskog iskustva. U filmu SUOČAVANJE S TAMOM istaknuti francuski reditelj Jean Gabriel Périot proučava videosnimke snimljene tokom opsade Sarajeva. Périot se susreće sa kreatorima ovih videa te, kroz brojna pitanja, zadire u samu bit materijala. Koje istine prenose ove slike? Kako one odjekuju u našoj sadašnjosti? Ova pitanja ne samo da osvjetljavaju historijske događaje već nas i nagone na razmišljanje o trajnom uticaju vizuelnog pripovijedanja na naše kolektivno pamćenje. Kao dodatak ovom istraživanju s ponosom predstavljamo svjetsku premijeru filma SUVENIRI RATA Georga Zellera, koji inspiraciju crpi iz priče predstavljene na radionici Sajam istinitih priča. Iz „perspektive stranca“, Georg razotkriva tragove rata urezane u živote bosanskih stanovnika. U programu imamo još jednu svjetsku premijeru – film MAMULA Aleksandra Reljića, također predstavljen na Sajmu istinitih priča. MAMULA problematizira tendencije historijskog revizionizma, u kojima se memorijalni centar iz Prvog svjetskog rata transformira u kasino. S nestrpljenjem iščekujemo priče koje će se tek pojaviti na Sajmu istinitih priča te njihovu transformaciju u snažne i dojmljive filmove u godinama koje dolaze. U našoj čvrstoj predanosti poticanju pripovijedanja, čast nam je sarađivati s fondacijom Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Dialogue Southeast Europe koja sponzorira nagra-

du radionice Sajam istinitih priča. Nagrada od 10.000 eura podržava fazu istraživanja te predstavlja dokaz naše predanosti zaboravljenim pričama i razumijevanju konteksta u kojima one nastaju. Na kraju, želimo dobrodošlicu Mili Turajlić koja se ponovo pridružuje programu Suočavanje s prošlošću, ovaj put s iznimnim dokumentarcem DOSJE LABUDOVIĆ: CINÉ-GUERRILLAS. U arhivu u Beogradu nalazi se kolekcija filmova poznata kao “Labudovićevi koluti”. Ove trake filmova čuvaju snimke afričkih i azijskih oslobodilačkih pokreta i revolucionarnih vođa koji su definirali šezdesete godine prošlog stoljeća. Između ostalog, film nameće i pitanje kako to da se ovakav dokaz revolucionarne historije nalazi na dalekom kontinentu, zaboravljen unutar filmskog arhiva. Suštinu programa Suočavanje s prošlošću čini predanost uključivanju i osnaživanju glasova budućnosti, poput inicijative Očima mladih ljudi. Imamo čast ugostiti dvadesetoro mladih ljudi sa Zapadnog Balkana u ovom transformativnom poduhvatu, pokrećući dinamičnu platformu za smislen diskurs i istraživanje. U okviru ove inicijative održat će se niz zanimljivih panela, diskusija i debata, usredsređenih na vitalne teme mirovnog aktivizma i strategije pomirenja. Ovi mladi umovi, spremni oblikovati putanju naše regije, okupljaju se kako bi razmijenili ideje, preispitali percepcije i zacrtali put prema skladnijoj budućnosti. Inicijativa mladih ljudi zajednički je napor koji ujedinjuje energiju Zaklade Friedrich Ebert, Foruma ZFD (Forum Civil Peace Service) i USAID-ovog PRO-Future projekta. Ponovo krećemo na putovanje kroz vrijeme, sjećanje i ljudsko iskustvo, te vas pozivamo da nam se pridružite u razotkrivanju narativa koji su oblikovali naš svijet te nas izazivaju da mislimo, propitujemo i istražujemo zamršenosti naše zajedničke historije. E This year’s Dealing with the Past programme embarks on a captivating journey, spanning from evocative narratives of the Second World War, as masterfully directed by Marc Cousins in his film MARCH ON ROME, to

the present day. Here, we are profoundly moved by the poignant journey of young Israeli students as they explore a memorial camp in Poland, a transformative experience captured in the film DELEGATION by talented director Asaf Saban. Set against the storied backdrop of Sarajevo, a city with a rich history, we unveil deeply personal stories that might seem almost inconceivable from the vantage point of today – yet these narratives, though seemingly surreal, are an indelible part of real history. Teona Mitevska’s HAPPIEST MAN IN THE WORLD, written by the Sarajevo Film Festival’s own Elma Tataragić, weaves a captivating narrative that challenges our perception of guilt and forgiveness, and prompts us to reconsider the complexities of human experience. In FACING DARKNESS, accomplished French director Jean Gabriel Périot delves into video footage captured during the Siege of Sarajevo. Périot engages with the creators of these visuals, exploring the essence of the images and the myriad questions they evoke. What truths do these images convey? How do they resonate in our present time? These questions not only illuminate historical events but also compel us to contemplate the enduring impact of visual storytelling on the collective memory. Adding to this exploration, we proudly present the world premiere of SOUVENIRS OF WAR by Georg Zeller, which takes its inspiration from a story unveiled at our True Stories Market in 2021. From a foreigner’s perspective, Zeller unravels the traces of war etched into the lives of residents of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We also unfurl another world premiere: MAMULA, which was also introduced at the True Stories Market. This film considers tendencies of revisionist historiography, as a memorial centre from the First World War is transformed into a casino. As we await the emergence of a new set of stories at the upcoming True Stories Market, we eagerly anticipate their transformation into powerful and impactful films in the years ahead. In our steadfast commitment to fostering storytelling, we are honoured to collaborate with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Dialogue Southeast Europe, which sponsors an award at the True Stories Market. The €10,000 award supports the research phase, a testament to

our dedication to forgotten stories and the understanding of the contexts within which they arise. Finally, we are delighted to welcome back Mila Turajlić, who once again joins the Dealing with the Past programme with her exceptional work CINÉ-GUERRILLAS: SCENES FROM THE LABUDOVIĆ REELS. An archive in Belgrade holds a collection of films known as the Labudović Reels, whose images portray African and Asian liberation movements and the leaders who defined the revolutionary thrust on those continents in the 1960s. Yet, the question looms: How is it that this archive of revolutionary history resides on another continent, largely forgotten within a film archive? At the heart of Dealing with the Past lies the commitment to engage and empower the voices of the future, a commitment exemplified by the In Youth Eyes initiative. We proudly welcome twenty young individuals from the Western Balkans to participate in this transformative endeavour, which ignites a dynamic platform for meaningful discourse and exploration. Through the initiative, a tapestry of engaging panels, discussions, and debates unfurls, centred around the vital themes of peace activism and reconciliation strategies. These young minds, poised to shape the cultural trajectory of our region, come together to exchange ideas, challenge perceptions, and chart a course towards a more harmonious future. In Youth Eyes is a joint effort, uniting the energies of the Friedrich-EbertStiftung, forumZFD – Forum Civil Peace Service, and the USAID PROFuture Project. As we wind our way on this path through time, memory, and the human experience, we invite you to join us in unravelling the narratives that have shaped our world, and that challenge us to reflect on, question, and explore the intricacies of our shared history.

Marcia su Roma / Osvajanje Rima / The March on Rome Uz pomoć rijetko viđenih arhivskih snimaka i svoje karakteristične filmske analize, Mark Cousins priča priču o usponu fašizma u Italiji i njegovom širenju po Evropi tridesetih godina prošloga vijeka. U ovom djelu, istovremeno esejističkom filmu i historijskom dokumentu, Cousins prošlost posmatra kroz prizmu sadašnjosti, stvarajući ogledalo u kojem se odražava političko okruženje podobno za puzajući uspon radikalne desnice i medijsku manipulaciju. Mark Cousins je reditelj i pisac irsko-škotskog porijekla. Njegovi filmovi premijerno su prikazani na festivalima u Cannesu, Berlinu, Veneciji, te na Filmskom festivalu Sundance i donijeli su mu brojna priznanja, uključujući nagrade Prix Italija, Peabody, Stanley Kubrick, te Evropsku filmsku nagradu za inovativan pripovjedački pristup. Filmove je snimao u Iraku, Sarajevu tokom opsade, Iranu, Meksiku, te širom Azije, Amerike i Evrope. E Through little-seen archives and his characteristically cinematic analysis, Mark Cousins narrates the ascent of fascism in Italy and its fallout across 1930s Europe. At once essay film and historical document, the film contextualises history through the now, holding up a mirror to a political landscape of a creeping far right and manipulated media.

Mark Cousins is an Irish-Scottish director and writer. His films have premiered at the Cannes, Berlin, Sundance, and Venice Film Festivals and have won a Prix Italia, a Peabody, a Stanley Kubrick Award, and a European Film Award for Innovative Storytelling. He has filmed in Iraq, Sarajevo during the siege, Iran, Mexico, across Asia, and in the United States and Europe.

Souvenirs of War / Ratni suveniri Kada rat završava? FIlm RATNI SUVENIRI esejističko je putovanje kroz Bosnu, više od dvije decenije nakon posljednjeg oružanog sukoba u Evropi, u trenutku kada su mnoga mjesta patnje postala turističke atrakcije. Putovanje po tankoj liniji koja dijeli mračni turizam od empatičnog čuvanja uspomena, gdje neki uživaju da se igraju rata na pravim bojištima, dok se drugi još muče da svoju traumatičnu prošlost pretvore u šansu. Georg Zeller rođen je u Stuttgartu. Nakon što je stekao obrazovanje u Filmskoj školi ZeLIG u Bolzanu i na Univerzitetu za umjetnost u Berlinu, radio je kao filmski autor i snimatelj, prvenstveno posvećen dokumentarnom žanru. Dugi niz godina koordinirao je produkcijske projekte u ZeLIG-u, te radio na filmskim projektima u Italiji i kao dopredsjednik Udruženja filmskih radnika Južnog Tirola (FAS). E When is a war over? SOUVENIRS OF WAR offers an essayistic tour to Bosnia, more than two decades after the last armed conflict in Europe, when many sites of sorrow have become tourist attractions. A journey along the fine line between dark travel and empathetic memory, where some enjoy playing combat games on authentic battlefields, while others still struggle to make their traumatic legacy become an opportunity.

Georg Zeller was born in Stuttgart. Since completing his studies at the ZeLIG Film School in Bolzano and the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin, he has been working as a filmmaker and cameraperson, primarily in the documentary field. He oversaw the productions at ZeLIG for many years, has worked as a film service provider in Italy, and is co-president of FAS, the Film Association South Tyrol.

The joyful Christmas lunch is interrupted by a smartphone ringing. It becomes clear it’s not the 1980s, it’s not Christmastime, and it is not just the festive turkey that can be cut with a knife, but the tension as well.

DEALING WITH THE PAST l 29. Sarajevo Film Festival 191

Dan ljudskih prava / Human Rights Day

15. Dan ljudskih prava / 15th Human Rights Day Pod pokroviteljstvom Kraljevine Nizozemske ove godine će se održati 15. izdanje Dana ljudskih prava 29. Sarajevo Film Festivala. U okviru programa, u ponedjeljak, 14. augusta 2023. u multipleksu Cineplexx Sarajevo bit će održana projekcija filma SNAJKA: DNEVNIK OČEKIVANJA rediteljice Tee Vidović Dalipi, koja će poslužiti kao osnova za panel-diskusiju nakon projekcije filma. Panel-diskusija će staviti fokus na temu „Navigating expectations: The Road to Understanding Discrimination and Cultural Differences“, a moderator panela je Robert Zuber, novinar i reditelj. „Nikada nije lako snajkama iako nemali broj snajki imaju divan odnos sa svojim svekrvama i njihovim obiteljima. No katkada se dogodi da ljubav dvoje ljudi dovede do spajanja obitelji različitih kultura i običaja, a onda stvari kao što su tolerancija, međusobno uvažavanje ili pak strpljenje postaju vrijednosti od iznimne važnosti za takav bračni par. Tako i u ovom sjajnom dokumentarnom filmu SNAJKA: DNEVNIK OČEKIVANJA rediteljice Tee Vidović Dalipi, u kojem je ona i glavna protagonistica, uz supruga Mirsada i njihovu kćer Fridu, gledamo taj, kako sama autorica kaže, ‘pokušaj zajedničkog života, razapetog između pritisaka obitelji i kompromisa na koje su oboje spremni pristati. Mirazi koje su dobili ekonomski su i kulturalno praktički nespojivi pa je pred njima nezahvalan izazov balansiranja vlastite obiteljske prtljage, prikvačene kao ostavština prošlih generacija na putu između Hrvatske i Kosova’. U svemu tome, Tea i Mirsad te njihova kći Frida, u nekim trenucima postaju i sami promatrači nespojivih kulturoloških zahtjeva njihovih obitelji, u potpunosti suprotstavljenih i nespremnih da pronađu kompromis, formulu za suživot. Unatoč tome, oni su spremni zakloniti svoju intimu, kako bi izbjegli, koliko je moguće, tradicionalne stereotipe ili pak svojevrsni kulturni rasizam. Hoće li uspjeti u tome? Nije sigurno. No ono što je sigurno je to da ni Tea ni Mirsad neće odustati tako lako od svoje male tročlane obitelji.“ – Robert Zuber.

E Under the auspices of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in 2023 the Sarajevo Film Festival presents its fifteenth consecutive Human Rights Day programme. On Monday, 14 August, a screening of Tea Vidovic Dalipi’s SNAJKA: DIARY OF EXPECTATIONS at Cineplexx Sarajevo is followed by a panel discussion of “Navigating Expectations: The Road to Understanding Discrimination and Cultural Differences”, moderated by journalist and director Robert Zuber.

‘It is never easy to be a daughter-in-law, although many married women do have wonderful relationships with their husband’s mothers. But, sometimes it happens that two people in love bring together families of different customs and traditions, and this is when tolerance, mutual respect, and patience become of crucial importance to the loving couple. Such is the case documented by Tea Vidovic Dalipi in SNAJKA: DIARY OF EXPECTATIONS, in which the director herself is a main subject, along with her husband Mirsad and their daughter Frida. Or, as she puts it, we watch “an attempt at a shared life under pressure from our families and compromises we both are willing to accept.” What this couple unite in marriage is two very different, almost irreconcilable, social classes and cultures, which is why they have the thankless task of balancing their “primary family luggage” – the heritage of their forefathers that clings to them – as they travel between Croatia and Kosovo. Amid all that, Tea, Mirsad, and Frida sometimes become observers of the incompatible cultural demands of their families, who are at odds with each other and refuse to look for compromise, a way to co-exist. But, Tea and Mirsad are very much willing to shield their private life to avoid, as much as possible, both traditional stereotypes and something akin to cultural racism. Will they succeed? It is impossible to tell. But one thing is certain, neither Tea nor Mirsad will easily give up on their core family of three.’ – Robert Zuber.

HUMAN RIGHTS DAY l 29. Sarajevo Film Festival 195

Snajka: Dnevnik očekivanja / Snajka: Diary of Expectations U svaki ljubavni odnos ulazimo opterećeni identitetima koje smo dobili u miraz od svojih primarnih porodica, bili oni ekonomski, socijalni ili vjerski. Ljubav, brak i roditeljstvo Hrvatice Tee i kosovskog Roma Mirsada u tom se kontekstu doimaju kao nemoguća misija jer će njihova svakodnevica biti posmatrana kroz prizme različitih običaja i vrednosnih sistema njihovih porodica. Pod ekonomskim pritiskom sa jedne i pritiskom stroge tradicije sa druge strane, Mirsad i Tea izložit će se riziku da ne ispune očekivanja svojih najmilijih, pri tome rizikujući da ugroze vlastiti odnos i mogućnost izgradnje bolje budućnosti za sebe i svoju novorođenu kćer Fridu. Tea Vidović Dalipi rođena je u Zagrebu 1986, te se školovala na Filozofskom fakultetu u Zagrebu i u Erfurtu u Njemačkoj. Završava Mirovne studije u Zagrebu i započinje dugogodišnju saradnju s Centrom za mirovne studije gdje je razvijala programe vezane za azil i migracije. Aktivna je članica civilnog društva u Hrvatskoj gdje sarađuje s brojnim pojedincima, organizacijama i incijativama čiji je fokus zaštita ljudskih prava i djelovanje u zajednici. Godine 2013. upisala je Restartovu školu dokumentarnog filma. Velika želja da svlada tehniku kojom će moći dijeliti svoje viđenje migracija i svijeta, pretvorila se u produkciju filma SNAJKA: DNEVNIK OČEKIVANJA, snimanog punih deset godina. E We enter every relationship burdened by identities bequeathed by our primary families, be they economic, social, or religious. Love, marriage, and parenthood between Tea, a Croatian woman, and Mirsad, a Roma man, seems in a sense to be mission impossible, because their daily life will be scrutinised by their respective families’ wholly different customs and value systems. Burdened by rigorous tradition on the one hand and economic pressure on the other, the couple will expose themselves to the possibility of their loved ones’ failed expectations, at risk of jeopardising their own relationship and a better future for themselves and their newborn daughter Frida.

Tea Vidović Dalipi was born in Zagreb in 1986, and studied at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb and in Erfurt, Germany. She completed work in peace studies in Zagreb and has had a lengthy and active collaboration with the Centre for Peace Studies, developing programmes related to asylum-seeking and migration. An active member of civil society in Croatia, Dalipi collaborates with numerous individuals, organisations, and initiatives focusing on the protection of human rights and community activity. In 2013, she enrolled in Restart’s School of Documentary Film. Her great desire to master the technique to make it possible for her to share her views on migration and the world at large led to the production of SNAJKA: DIARY OF EXPECTATIONS, which was filmed over a period of ten years.

Tri programa Mreže festivala jadranske regije / Three Programmes of the Network of Festivals of the Adriatic Region Mreža festivala jadranske regije uspostavljena je 2020. godine, s ciljem promocije evropskog audiovizuelnog sadržaja, talenata, razmjene znanja, tehnoloških i kadrovskih resursa, te iskustava u dijeljenju zelenih praksi i podizanju svijesti kada je u pitanju ovaj gorući problem današnjice.

Slovački politički triler MOĆ u režiji Mátyása Priklera donosi priču o slučajnom ubistvu na granici, a koje rezultira razotkrivanjem kriminalne političke hobotnice. Film je premijeru imao ove godine na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu.

Mrežu su u početku činili: Sarajevo Film Festival, Filmski festival Herceg Novi, Festival autorskog filma i Zagreb Film Festival, a od prošle godine festivalskoj porodici se priključio i Ljubljana međunarodni filmski festival.

Nizozemska historijska drama SWEET DREAMS Ene Sendijarević, rediteljice bosanskohercegovačkih korijena i dobitnice Srca Sarajeva za najbolji film 2019. godine, dolazi u Sarajevo odmah nakon premijere u Locarnu. Riječ je o satiričnoj drami koja je smještena u Indoneziju u doba kolonijalizma i koja prati komplikovane odnose jedne porodice posjednika plantaže šećera i onih koji su primorani da za njih rade.

Tokom 2022. i 2023. godine realizovana su tri online događaja. Već ranije uspostavljenom Proljetnom izdanju, gdje se prikazuju pobjednici ovih pet festivala iz prethodne godine, pridružila su se i dva nova programa – Zimsko izdanje (izbor od četiri filma koji su nastali kao regionalne koprodukcije barem dvije zemlje članice Mreže), te EcoScope, novouspostavljeni program čiji je cilj publici predstaviti filmove koji se na inovativan i edukativan način bave ekološkim temama. Nakon uspješno realizovana tri programa koji su okupili preko 6.000 pregleda na OnDemand stranici Kina Meeting Point, na teritoriji ovih pet zemalja, došlo je vrijeme i za novo izdanje programa evropskih filmova u konkurenciji za Nagradu publike za najbolji film Mreže festivala jadranske regije. Ove godine svih pet festivala, koji dolaze iz evropskih zemalja srednjeg produkcijskog kapaciteta, predstavit će pet filmova u konkurenciji za Nagradu publike. Cilj ovog programa je domaćoj publici predstaviti manje zastupljene evropske kinematografije, te podstaknuti distribuciju ovog sadržaja na prostoru zemalja članica Mreže. Filmovi u konkurenciji za nagradu obuhvataju najzanimljivija ostvarenja u prethodnih godinu dana, prikazana na nekim od najznačajnijih svjetskih festivala, a koji su imali zapažen uspjeh festivalske publike. Program otvaramo filmom LUKSEMBURG, LUKSEMBURG ukrajinskog reditelja Antonia Lukicha, koji je premijerno prikazan u programu Horizonti, prošlogodišnjeg Venecijanskog filmskog festivala. U ovoj uzbudljivoj i emotivnoj komediji pratimo dvojicu braće koji kreću na put za Luksemburg kako bi vidjeli svog bolesnog oca, porijeklom iz Srbije, još jednom prije nego što umre.

198 29. Sarajevo Film Festival l MREŽA FESTIVALA JADRANSKE REGIJE

Film danskog reditelja Martina Skovjberga KOPENHAGEN NE POSTOJI triler je koji je oduševio publiku ovogodišnjeg festivala u Rotterdamu. Kritičari su ga prozvali uzbudljivom igrom mačke i miša, a radnja je fokusirana na istragu nestanka jedne mlade žene i pokušaja da se otkrije uzrok. U jednoj od glavnih uloga je Zlatko Burić, član ovogodišnjeg žirija i prošlogodišnji dobitnik nagrade za najboljeg evropskog glumca. Program zatvaramo grčkim filmom BLACK STONE debitanta Spirosa Jacovidesa. Ova satira o nestanku grčkih javnih službenika, postavljena u format lažnog dokumentarca, premijeru je imala na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Solunu. Pored filmova u konkurenciji za Nagradu publike, Mreža ove godine predstavlja i jedan film u sekciji EcoScope. SONGS OF EARTH Margareth Olin premijeru je imao na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Kopenhagenu, a vizuelno je očaravajuća priča o odnosu čovjeka i prirode, te prihvatanju prirodnih procesa koji čine život i smrt. Nakon dvije godine, na festival se vraćaju i jugoslovenski klasici koje ne treba posebno predstavljati publici. Serija SIVI DOM reditelja Darka Bajića, kultno televizijsko ostvarenje osamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća, sada će doživjeti i svoju projekciju na velikom ekranu, a za sve koji se žele podsjetiti glumačkih kreacija kultnih jugoslovenskih glumaca Bebe Lončar i Miodraga Petrovića – Čkalje, tu je i jedan od najzabavnijih filmova šezdesetih, muzička komedija LJUBAV I MODA reditelja Ljubomira Radičevića. Nadamo se da ćete uživati u programu.

E The Network of Festivals of the Adriatic Region was established in 2020 to promote European audio-visual content and talents, exchange of knowledge, and technical and human potential, as well as to share green practices and to promote awareness of environmental ills, which are the most pressing problems of our time.

Initially a gathering of the Sarajevo Film Festival, the Herceg Novi Film Festival, the Belgrade Auteur Film Festival, and the Zagreb Film Festival, the network was joined last year by the Ljubljana International Film Festival. In 2022 and 2023, the network organised three online festivals. In addition to its previously established Spring Edition, which showcases the winning films of the most recent iterations of the participating festivals, it also launched a Winter Edition – a showcase of four films co-produced by at least two member countries of the network – and EcoScope, which introduces audiences to films that explore environmental topics in an innovative and educational manner. After the success of the three online festivals, which drew six thousand viewers from the territory of the five countries represented in the network, to the Kino Meeting Point VoD platform, the time has come for a new edition of the online programme to showcase a selection of European films in competition for the Best Film Award of the Network of Festivals of the Adriatic Region. The competition includes the most exciting titles produced over the past twelve months that have already been screened and that met with success at major international film festivals. The programme kicks off with a screening of LUXEMBOURG, LUXEMBOURG by Ukrainian director Antonio Lukich. This exciting and moving comedy, which had its premiere in the Orizzonti section of the last Venice Film Festival, tells the story of two brothers on a journey to Luxembourg, where they hope to see their ailing Serbian-born father one more time before he dies. The Slovak political thriller POWER by Mátyása Priklera is the tale of an accidental murder in a border area that lifts the veil on a political criminal network. It premiered at the last International Film Festival Rotterdam.

The Dutch period drama SWEET DREAMS, by Bosnian-born director Ena Sendijarević, who won the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Film in 2019, arrives in Sarajevo straight from its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival. It is a satirical drama set in colonial-era Indonesia about the complex relations between members of a sugar plantation-owning family and the people who are forced to work for them. COPENHAGEN DOES NOT EXIST, by Danish director Martin Skovbjerg, thrilled audiences at the International Film Festival Rotterdam this year, with critics describing it as an exciting game of cat and mouse. It follows the investigation into the disappearance of a young woman and attempts to establish its cause. Staring in the film is Zlatko Burić, a member of this year’s jury and the winner of the 2022 European Film Award for Best Actor. BLACK STONE, Greek director Spiros Jacovides’s debut film, closes the 2023 competition programme. A satirical narrative film about disappearing Greek public servants presented as a documentary, premiered at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival. Alongside the competition line-up, in the EcoScope section the Network of Festivals of the Adriatic Region presents Margareth Olin’s SONGS OF EARTH, which premiered at CPH:DOX. A visually stunning film about the relationship between humanity and nature and the acceptance of natural processes that govern life and death. After a two-year absence, classic films of the former Yugoslavia that need no special introduction will return to our Festival. GREY HOUSE by Gordan Mihić and Darko Bajić, the 1980s drama series with a cult following, has its first big-screen showing, while those who wish to refresh their memories of the memorable performances by celebrated Yugoslav actors Beba Lončar and Miodrag Petrović-Čkalja will have a chance to see one of the most amusing films from the 1960s, the musical comedy LOVE&FASHION, directed by Ljubomir Radičević. We hope you will enjoy the programme! Asja Krsmanović, koordinatorica programa Mreže festivala jadranske regije / Program Co-ordinator, Network of Festivals of the Adriatic Region

Black Stone / Crni kamen Tokom snimanja dokumentarca o „nestalim“ javnim službenicima, dvoje filmadžija upoznaju Haroulu, očajnu i pretjerano zaštitnički nastrojenu majku Grkinju. Njen sin je jedan od nestalih i ona ga pokušava naći. Međutim, kada njegovo ime bude dovedeno u vezu sa prevarom u službi, navodno počinjenom uz pomoć saradnice iz inostranstva, Haroula sa svojim drugim sinom, inače licem s invaliditetom, kreće u misiju spiranja ljage s njegovog imena. Uz pomoć grčkog taksiste afričkog porijekla i grupe ne toliko korisnih antifa aktivista, dokumentaristi prate Haroulu tokom njenog pokušaja da pronađe sina i vrati ga kući gdje pripada, čak i po cijenu da otkrije kakva je on stvarno osoba. Spiros Jacovides rođen je u Londonu. Filmsku režiju je studirao u Filmskoj školi Stavrakou nakon pohađanja filmske škole na LCP-u. Spiros je 1998. kao gostujući student pohađao Njemačku filmsku akademiju u Berlinu (DFFB). Kao pomoćnik režije radi na brojnim TV-reklamama još od 2000. godine. Napisao je i režirao tri kratka filma. CRNI KAMEN je njegov prvi dugometražni film. E While shooting a documentary about “missing” civil servants, a filmmaking duo stumble upon Haroula, a desperate, overprotective Greek mother searching for her missing son. But when his name is linked to government fraud with a foreign female accomplice, Haroula sets out with her other, disabled son, to clear his name. With the help of a Greek African taxi driver and a less-than-helpful antifa group of misfits, the documentary duo follow Haroula on her quest to find her son and bring him back home where he belongs, even if it means discovering who he truly is.

Spiros Jacovides was born in London and studied film directing at Stavrakou Film School after completing a degree in film studies at the London College of Printing. In 1998, he attended the German Academy of Film in Berlin (DFFB) as a guest student. Since 2000, Jacovides has worked as an assistant director on various television commercials. He has written and directed three short films. BLACK STONE is his feature-length directorial debut.

København findes ikke / Kopenhagen ne postoji / Copenhagen Does Not Exist Mlada žena nestala je bez traga. Tri mjeseca kasnije njen momak pristaje na neobičan aranžman: da ostane zaključan u stanu sa njenim ocem koji će ga ispitivati. Uskoro postaje očigledno da je dvoje ljubavnika prije djevojčinog nestanka prigrlilo čudan i nekonvencionalan način života: odsječeni od svijeta i izolovani usred velikog grada. Film je zasnovan na romanu Sander norveškog pisca Terje Holteta. Martin Skovbjerg debitovao je na televiziji 2015. sa serijom za mlade ANTON 90, koja je naišla na izvrstan prijem kritičara i hvaljena je zbog svog hrabrog pristupa formi, a snimljena je za Dansku državnu televiziju DR. S inovativnom dramskom web-serijom FASTLAND, emitiranom 2018. kao uvod za njegov debitantski igrani film, osvojio je Nacionalnu nagradu za najbolji novi TV-sadržaj u Danskoj. Martinov igrani prvenac BRAKLAND premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Londonu 2018. i osvojio je dansku Robert nagradu. E A young woman has disappeared without a trace. Three months later, her boyfriend agrees to an unusual arrangement: to be locked in an apartment and interrogated by the woman’s father. It soon becomes apparent that, even long before her disappearance, the lovers had chosen a strange and unconventional life: cut off from the world, isolated in the middle of the big city. The film is based on the Norwegian novel “Sander” by Terje Holtet.

Martin Skovbjerg made his directorial debut in 2015 with the critically acclaimed youth television series ANTON 90, which was launched by the Danish national broadcaster DR and praised for its bold formal approach. For his innovative webisode drama FASTLAND, which launched in 2018 as a prequel to his debut feature, he won the Danish Best New TV Award. Skovbjerg’s debut feature STICKS AND STONES had its European premiere at the London Film Festival in 2018 and won a prize at the Danish Robert Awards.

Nakon što ministar Berger slučajno opali iz puške, mladi istjerivač divljači umire. Kako je Berger vodeći kandidat za mjesto Strateškog komesara Unije za vodna pitanja, mediji se odmah zainteresuju za slučaj. Nedostatak vode u urbanim područjima Unije značajna je međunarodna tema, približava se trenutak odluke o imenovanju komesara, a Bergerov protukandidat želi privatizovati vodne resurse u Uniji. Mátyás Prikler je diplomirao filmsku režiju na Fakultetu za film i televiziju Akademije scenskih umjetnosti u Bratislavi.

Prikler je osnivač i direktor produkcijske kompanije MPhilms. E The ministers of foreign affairs of two neighbouring Central European countries meet on an informal hunting trip in a border region. After a shot is fired accidentally by Minister Berger, a young beater dies. Since Berger is a hot candidate for the post of the Union‘s Strategic Commissioner for Water, the media immediately starts to take interest in the case. Lack of water in the Union’s urban areas is a major international topic, the final decision on the appointment of the commissioner is near, and his opponent wants to privatise water resources in the Union.

Sweet Dreams / Slatki snovi Na izmaku kolonijalne ere na jednom izolovanom indonezijskom otoku Nizozemac Jan, vlasnik plantaže šećera, i njegova supruga Agathe na vrhu su hranidbenog lanca. Situacija se mijenja kada Jan, po povratku iz noćne posjete ljubavnici Siti, iznenada padne mrtav pred noge svoje supruge. U očajničkom nastojanju da održi privilegije dotadašnjeg statusa, Agathe prisiljava otuđenog sina Cornelisa i njegovu trudnu suprugu Josefien da dosele iz Evrope i preuzmu porodični posao. U jeku radničke pobune Cornelis predstavlja svoje progresivne planove za budućnost. Ali kada Janova oporuka otkrije da je na čelo porodičnog imanja postavljena Siti, planovi bivaju odbačeni, a krv je gušća od vode. Ena Sendijarević je scenaristica i filmska autorica bosanskih korijena sa adresom stanovanja u Amsterdamu.

E On a remote Indonesian island, during the waning days of the colonial era, Dutch sugar plantation owner Jan and his wife Agathe are at the top of the food chain – until Jan drops dead in front of his wife upon returning from his nightly visit to his concubine, an Indigenous woman. Desperate to retain the privileges of her status quo, Agathe forces her estranged son Cornelis and his heavily pregnant wife Josefien to travel from Europe and take over the family business. In the midst of a workers’ uprising, Cornelis outlines his plans for progressive change. But when Jan’s will puts Siti at the forefront of the family estate, ideals prove to be idle and blood thicker than water.

Ama se u potpunosti osjeća kao Nizozemka iako su njeni roditelji izbjeglice iz Senegala. Ama i njena porodica u Nizozemskoj borave ilegalno otkako je njihov zahtjev za azil odbijen. Nakon što njena majka i mlađi brat bivaju uhapšeni, Ama luta ulicama Rotterdama u potrazi za svojim ocem. Tokom njene odiseje Ami se ukazuje životinjski totem – u formi ogromnog bodljikavog praseta. Sander Burger diplomirao je 2001. na Nizozemskoj akademiji za film i televiziju. Njegov dugometražni igrani film PRESUDA je 2021. nominovan za jedanaest nagrada Zlatno tele, a osvojio ih je četiri, uključujući one za najbolji film i za najbolji scenarij. E Ama is passionate about swimming and, together with her best friend Thijs, spends most of her free time practising for an important upcoming competition. Ama feels totally Dutch, even though her parents are asylum-seekers from Senegal who are living illegally in the Netherlands since their application to stay in the country was rejected. After her mother and younger brother are arrested, Ama roams the streets of Rotterdam in search of her father. During this odyssey her totem animal appears to her – a giant porcupine.

Suzi je glas svoje generacije – virtuelni glas. Lutka Suzi je ego ratnica. Online avatar koji maršira prema diktatu algoritma društvenih mreža. Potpaljuju je privremeni izljevi bijesa. Trendovsko zgražavanje. Strast koja je u modi. Popularna politika. Njen aktivizam je apstraktan. Njena pomoć hipotetična. Znamo mnoge djevojke koje su poput Suzi, a često smo i sami poput nje: zlobni virtuelni glasovi, odjek nepravdi. Suzannah Mirghani je književica, istraživačica i nezavisna filmska autorica. Završila je medijske studije i muzeologiju. Zbog vlastite miješanog, sudansko-ruskog porijekla, zainteresovana je za priče o kompleksnosti identiteta. Njen posljednji kratki film VIRTUELNI GLAS svjetsku premijeru je imao na Filmskom festivalu Tribeca. E Suzi is the voice of her generation – the virtual voice, that is. Suzi doll is an ego-warrior. An online avatar, marching to the algorithms of social media. She is lit by temporary outrage. A trending indignation. A passion that is fashion. A politics of the popular. Her activism is abstract. Her help is hypothetical. We know many girls like Suzi, and many times we are her: vicious virtual voices, echoing injustices. Suzannah Mirghani is a writer, researcher, and independent filmmaker. She is a media studies and museum studies graduate. With a Sudanese and Russian heritage, she is interested in stories about the complexity of identity.

Kada bi građevine mogle govoriti, šta bi ispričale? Ovaj poetični hibridni dokumentarac upoznaje nas sa tri veličanstvene, napuštene građevine koje su svjedočile turbulentnoj historiji Bejruta, a oživljene su kroz opušteni međusobni razgovor. Vraćamo se u zlatno doba Bejruta, kada je Piccadilly teatar bio mjesto zabave, trgovine u Eggu su ispunjavale gomile ljudi, a Bejt Bejrut je pod svojim krovom u art déco stilu krio domove nekolicine porodica i jedan legendarni frizerski salon. Alessandra El Chanti je autorica dokumentarnih filmova, aktivistica i umjetnica iz Libana. Interesuju je priče o kulturi, društvenim temama i politici Levanta. El Chanti je magistrirala dokumentarni film i medije na Univerzitetu Northwestern. E If these buildings could talk, what would they say? This poetic hybrid documentary introduces us to three majestic, abandoned buildings that witnessed Beirut’s tumultuous history and come to life through a casual conversation among themselves. We are going back to the Golden Era of Beirut, when the Piccadilly Theatre was filled with entertainment, the Egg was bustling with people in its local markets, and Beit Beirut housed an iconic hair salon and families living under its art-deco roof. Alessandra El Chanti is a Lebanese documentary filmmaker, activist, and artist. Her interests lie in the stories of the Levant, ranging through its culture, social issues, and politics. El Chanti holds an MFA in documentary media from Northwestern University.

Basic Instinct / Sirove strasti Misteriozna Catherine Tramell, atraktivna spisateljica kriminalističkih romana, osumnjičena je za brutalno ubistvo nekada slavnog rok-muzičara. Catherine zavodi Nicka Currana, detektiva za krvne delikte koji istažuje taj slučaj, te ga uvlači u intenzivnu vezu. Slučaj se u međuvremenu zakomplikuje slijedom naizgled povezanih smrti, a Nickova psihologinja i ljubavnica Beth Garner i sama dospijeva na listu osumnjičenih. Paul Verhoeven nizozemski je filmski stvaralac koji se 1973. probio romantičnom dramom TURSKA POSLASTICA nominovanom za nagradu Oskar za najbolji strani film. Nakon toga režira uspješne nizozemske filmove KEETJE TIPPEL, VOJNIK OD NARANČE, SEKS NA MOTORU i ČETVRTI ČOVJEK. Svoj prvi holivudski film KRV I MESO snima 1985, a zatim gradi uspješnu rediteljsku karijeru u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, te režira filmove poput ROBOCOPA, POTPUNOG OPOZIVA, SIROVIH STRASTI, SVEMIRSKIH MARINACA i ŠUPLJEG ČOVJEKA. Nakon toga se vraća u Evropu i snima holandski ratni film CRNA KNJIGA i francuski psihološki triler ELLE. Oba filma nominovana su za nagradu BAFTA, a ELLE je osvojio Zlatni globus za najbolji film na stranom jeziku i nagradu César za najbolji film. Po izboru gledalaca film CRNA KNJIGA 2008. je proglašen najboljim nizozemskim filmom svih vremena. E The mysterious Catherine Tramell, a beautiful crime novelist, becomes a murder suspect when she is linked to the brutal death of a rock star. While she is being investigated by homicide detective Nick Curran, Catherine seduces him into an intense relationship. Meanwhile, the murder case becomes increasingly complicated when more deaths that are apparently connected to the first occur, and Nick’s psychologist and lover, Beth Garner, comes under suspicion.

Paul Verhoeven is a Dutch filmmaker who had his breakthrough in 1973 with the romantic drama TURKISH DELIGHT, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. He went on to direct the successful Dutch films KEETJE TIPPEL, SOLDIER OF ORANGE, SPETTERS, and THE FOURTH MAN. In 1985, Verhoeven made FLESH AND BLOOD, his first film in Hollywood, and later had a successful career in the United States, directing films such as ROBOCOP, TOTAL RECALL, BASIC INSTINCT, STARSHIP TROOPERS, and HOLLOW MAN. He later returned to Europe, making the Dutch war film BLACK BOOK and French psychological thriller ELLE.

Falling Down / Dani ludila Sredovječni William Foster, istovremeno suočen s gubitkom posla i razvodom, ima loš dan. Kada mu se auto pokvari nasred ceste u Los Angelesu, on ga napušta i pješice se upućuje na rođendansku zabavu svoje kćeri. Dok se probija kroz grad, Williamove frustracije i ogorčenost izbijaju na površinu rezultirajući nizom nasilnih interakcija sa različitim ljudima, među kojima su i članove jedne osvetoljubive bande i jedan odgovorni penzionisani policajac. Joel T. Schumacher (1939–2020) bio je američki filmski reditelj, producent i scenarista. Diplomu je stekao u Školi dizajna Parsons i inicijalno je radio kao modni dizajner. Filmom se počeo baviti kao dizajner produkcije i kostimograf, da bi naknadno postao koscenarista na filmovima AUTOPRAONICA, VARNICA I ČAROBNJAK. Njegovi prvi filmovi distribuirani u kinima bili su NEVJEROVATNA ŽENA KOJA SE SMANJUJE i D.C.CAB, ali slavu stiče nakon što je režirao filmove VATRA SVETOG ELMA, IZGUBLJENI DJEČACI i KLIJENT. Odlično ocijenjeni film DANI LUDILA, prikazan u takmičarskoj selekciji Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, snimio je 1993. godine. Schumacher je zamijenio Tima Burtona na mjestu reditelja naslova iz Batman franšize, režirajući filmove BATMAN ZAUVIJEK i BATMAN I ROBIN. Nakon toga snima filmove skromnijeg budžeta, uključujući naslove ZEMLJA TIGROVA i TELEFONSKA GOVORNICA, a 2004. film FANTOM IZ OPERE. Posljednje što je režirao bile su dvije epizode serije KUĆA OD KARATA. E William Foster, a middle-aged man dealing with unemployment and divorce, is having a bad day. When his car breaks down on a Los Angeles highway, he leaves his vehicle and begins a trek across the city to attend his daughter’s birthday party. As he makes his way through the urban landscape, William’s frustration and bitterness become more evident, resulting in violent encounters with various people, including a vengeful gang and a dutiful veteran cop.

Joel T. Schumacher (1939–2020) was a US film director, producer, and screenwriter. Schumacher graduated from the Parsons School of Design and originally became a fashion designer. He first entered filmmaking as a production and costume designer before gaining writing credits on CAR WASH, SPARKLE, and THE WIZ. His first theatrically released films were THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN and D.C. CAB, but he rose to prominence after directing ST. ELMO’S FIRE, THE LOST BOYS, and THE CLIENT. In 1993, he directed the critically hailed FALLING DOWN, which was selected for competition at the Festival de Cannes. Schumacher replaced Tim Burton as the director of the BATMAN franchise, for which he directed BATMAN FOREVER and BATMAN & ROBIN. Later, Schumacher directed smaller-budget films, including TIGERLAND and PHONE BOOTH. In 2004, he directed THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. His final directorial work was two episodes of the acclaimed television series HOUSE OF CARDS.

Night on Earth / Noć na Zemlji Film je sastavljen od pet priča koje se odvijaju u taksiju tokom vožnje kroz različite gradove svijeta. Radnja u svim vinjetama obuhvaćenim filmom dešava se istovremeno, a priča se seli od Los Angelesa u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama do Helsinkija u Finskoj. U Los Angelesu vozačica taksija Corky kupi zanimljivu klijenticu, holivudsku casting agenticu. U New Yorku se taksista imigrant neprekidno gubi u njemu neshvatljivom gradu i kulturi, dok taksista u Parizu mora izaći na kraj s neotesanim afričkim diplomatama. U Rimu ekscentrični taksista Gino vodi živahan razgovor s bolešljivim svećenikom, dok taksista u Helsinkiju mušterijama koje vozi priča najtužniju priču koju su ikada čuli. Jim Jarmusch se preselio u New York iz Akrona (Ohio), kako bi upisao studij na Univerzitetu Columbija i pohađao filmsku školu Univerziteta u New Yorku. Film je studirao i na Cinematheque Francaise u Parizu. Radio je kao asistent na filmu Nicholasa Raya i Wima Wendersa MUNJA NAD VODOM nakon čega snima svoj prvi film NEPREKIDNI PRAZNICI. Njegov naredni film ČUDNIJE OD RAJA stekao je naklonost publike i kritičara i osvojio Zlatnu kameru Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 1984. U Cannesu 1993. osvaja Zlatnu palmu za najbolji kratkometražni film za film KAFA I CIGARETE, a 2005. i Veliku nagradu žirija za film SLOMLJENO CVIJEĆE. Među filmovima koje je snimio tokom protekle četiri decenije, a koji su ga učinili jednim od najcjenjenijih nezavisnih filmskih stvaralaca njegove generacije, ističu se POD RUKOM ZAKONA, NOĆ NA ZEMLJI, PUT SAMURAJA i drugi. E NIGHT ON EARTH comprises five stories, each involving a cab ride, and each set in a different city around the world. The action in the vignettes takes place at the same time, moving from Los Angeles to Helsinki. In LA, no-nonsense taxi driver Corky gets an engaging fare in the form of a Hollywood casting agent; in New York City, an immigrant cab driver is continually lost in a city and culture he doesn’t understand; while a Parisian cabbie must contend with some rowdy African diplomats. In Rome, quirky driver Gino makes a lively confession to an ailing priest, while in Helsinki a cabbie tells his passengers the saddest story they have ever heard.

Jim Jarmusch moved to New York City from Akron, Ohio, to study at Columbia University and the film school at New York University. He also studied film at the Cinémathèque française in Paris. He worked as an assistant on LIGHTNING OVER WATER, a film by Nicholas Ray and Wim Wenders, before directing his debut film, PERMANENT VACATION. Jarmusch’s next film, STRANGER THAN PARADISE, received widespread praise, and earned the young director the Caméra d’Or at the Festival de Cannes in 1984. In 1993, he received the Palme d’Or for Best Short Film for COFFEE AND CIGARETTES; in 2005, with BROKEN FLOWERS, he won the Grand Prix at Cannes. Over the last four decades, Jarmusch has cemented his reputation as one of the most respected independent filmmakers of his generation, with films including DOWN BY LAW, MYSTERY TRAIN, NIGHT ON EARTH, and GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI, all now considered landmarks of independent cinema.

Thelma & Louise Krotka domaćica Thelma odlazi na pecanje sa svojom prijateljicom, nezavisnom konobaricom Louise. Međutim, kratko putovanje pretvara se u bijeg od policije nakon što Louise u baru puca u muškarca koji pokuša silovati Thelmu i ubija ga. Louise odluči pobjeći u Meksiko, a Thelma joj se pridružuje. Tokom putovanja Thelma se zaljubljuje u seksipilnog mladog lopova J.D.-a, a dobronamjerni detektiv Slocumb pokušava nagovoriti dvije žene da se predaju prije nego što njihova sudbina bude zapečaćena. Ridley Scott, jedan od najboljih i najplodonosnijih autora moderne kinematografije, stvorio je opus koji uključuje neke od najcjenjenijih i najpopularnijih filmova svih vremena.

Film BLADE RUNNER, koji opisuje kao „najkompletniji i najintimniji“, snimio je 1982. godine. Nekoliko njegovih filmova poznati su po snažnim ženskim likovima, među njima i ALIEN, THELMA & LOUISE, G.I. JANE i MARSOVAC.

GLADIJATOR osvaja Oskara za najbolji dugometražni film, a Scott je bio nominovan u istoimenoj kategoriji i za film MARSOVAC. Scott i njegov brat Tony su 1995. osvojili nagradu Britanske filmske akademije (BAFTA) za izuzetan doprinos kinematografiji. Tokom karijere osvojio je brojna priznanja, uključujući počasnu nagradu BAFTA za životno djelo, dvije Primetime Emmy nagrade i nagradu Zlatni globus. Engleska kraljica Elizabetha II. mu je 2003. dodijelila titulu viteza. E Meek housewife Thelma joins her friend Louise, an independent server, on a short fishing trip.

However, the trip becomes a flight from the law when Louise shoots and kills a man who tries to rape Thelma at a bar. Louise decides to flee to Mexico, and Thelma joins her. On the way, Thelma falls for sexy young thief J.D., and the sympathetic Detective Slocumb tries to convince the women to surrender before their fates are sealed. Ridley Scott, one of the more respected and prolific filmmakers in modern cinema, has amassed a portfolio containing some of the most critically and commercially successful films of all time. Emerging from the world of television commercial production, he made his debut as a film director with THE DUELLISTS and gained wider recognition with his next film, ALIEN. In 1982, he directed BLADE RUNNER, which Scott calls his “most complete and personal film”.

Come pecore in mezzo ai lupi / Kao ovca među vukovima / Like Sheep Among Wolves Vera je policajka na tajnom zadatku. Jaka je, naizgled, nedodirljiva ličnost, očvrsla usljed rizika svoga posla i obilježena bolnom porodičnom historijom. Na zadatku da se infiltrira u međunarodnu bandu pljačkaša, Vera otkriva da je među njima i njen mlađi brat Bruno od kojeg se davno otuđila. Bruno je tek izašao iz zatvora, švorc je i želi učestvovati u pljačci kako bi sa svojom kćerkom Martom mogao izgraditi novi život. Nakon godina razdvojenosti, Vera i Bruno će se naći licem u lice, prisiljeni da čuvaju tajnu koja ih povezuje: njihove stare rane će se otvoriti i morat će napraviti određene izbore koji će ozbiljno ugroziti njihove ciljeve. Lyda Patitucci je diplomirala na Odsjeku za pozorište, umjetnost i muziku Univerziteta u Bolonji, zatim je specijalizirala montažu u sklopu programa „I Mestieri Del Cinema: filmska montaža” Filmskog arhiva u Bolonji, te filmsku režiju u filmskoj školi ESCAC u Barseloni. Sarađuje sa Centrom di Preformazione Attoriale i školom Vancini u Ferrari. Režirala je osam epizoda dokumentarističko-igrane serije SANGUE DEL TUO SANGUE i tri epizode Netflixove serije CURON. E Vera is an undercover police officer. Her personality is strong and appears impermeable, toughened by occupational hazards and marked by a painful family history. She is tasked with infiltrating an international gang of thieves and discovers that among them is her younger brother Bruno, from whom she has been estranged for some time. Bruno has just been released from prison, he’s broke, and he wants to participate in the heist to start anew with his daughter, Marta. After years apart, Vera and Bruno come face to face in opposite roles and are obliged to keep the secret that bonds them. Old wounds resurface, and the pair will have to make some choices that will jeopardise their goals.

Lyda Patitucci is a graduate in filmmaking from DAMS in Bologna. She specialised in editing by attending the course I Mestieri Del Cinema: Film Editor, coordinated by the Cineteca di Bologna, and in film directing at ESCAC in Barcelona. She collaborates with Centro di Preformazione Attoriale and the Vancini School in Ferrara. She directed eight episodes of the docu-fiction Sangue Del Tuo Sangue and three episodes of the Netflix television series for CURON.

Priča počinje u malom selu u srednjoj Bosni 1989. godine, kada se Asad, momak od 25 godina, vraća sa školovanja u želji da se oženi svojom ljubavi iz djetinjstva. Ne znajući da njegov sin već ima bračne planove, otac Agan dogovara brak svoga sina sa ocem druge djevojke, koju Asad i ne poznaje. Nakon iznenadne očeve smrti cijelo selo počinje podsjećati Asada na njegov amanet ocu, a do tada dosadna svakodnevnica u selu postaje dinamično i komično razotkrivanje svih likova i njihovih individualnih priča. The story is set in a small village in central Bosnia in 1989 where a 25-year old boy named Asad returns after completing his education to marry his childhood love.

After the sudden death of his father, the entire village keeps reminding Asad of his commitment to his father leading to a dynamical and comical revelation of all the characters and their individual stories in what was dull everyday countryside life, until then.

PRAZNIK PRAZNINE je egzistecijalistička drama situirana u današnjem Sarajevu, ali se može događati bilo gdje u suvremenom svijetu. Priča je o čovjeku u zrelim godinama, koji traži svoj izgubljeni identitet, bez velike nade da će ga pronaći. Ipak, on, kao tragač za knjigama koje je u svome bogatom socijalnom i privatnom životu posuđivao raznim prijateljima i slučajnim prolaznicama u njemu, pokušava doći do svoje nove životne ravnoteže i harmonije.

Faruk Šego, a failed Bosnian writer facing deportation from Austria, must prove that he’s made a cultural contribution to Austrian society. His last chance is an off-theater troupe that can stage a play he wrote as a young man. Faruk’s reluctant return to the theater will force him to realize what’s truly important in life.

THE GLORY OF EMPTINESS is an existentialist drama set in present-day Sarajevo, but it could take place anywhere in the contemporary world. It tells the story of a middle-aged man who searches for his lost identity without much hope of finding it. However, as a collector of books that he has lent to various friends and chance acquaintances throughout his rich social and private life, he strives to achieve a new balance and harmony in his life.

Otok Rab, rana jesen 1992. godine. Patolog Fero, svježe rastavljen četrdesetogodišnjak, dolazi u otočki gradić u kojem je, s ocem udovcem, proveo veći dio svog djetinjstva, kako bi prisustvovao sprovodu kćeri svog prijatelja Globusa, male Mirne. Na otoku se, izvan sezone, događaju čudne stvari: priča se o pojavljivanju ogromnog guštera, mjesni redikul Ranko optužuje fratre da su malu Mirnu prepilili napola, a vrhunac je ubistvo ‘Djevojčice sa žigicama’ – rumunske transseksualke Marillene, koja se bavila prostitucijom i svoje partnere zarazila gonorejom. Istragom ubistva bavi se Ferin dobar prijatelj, šef otočke policije Mungos, koji Feru sve više uvlači u istragu. The island of Rab, early summer, 1992. Fero, a recently divorced, fortyyear old pathologist, returns to the small island town where he spent most of his childhood living with his widowed father. He is here for the funeral of a little girl called Mirna, the daughter of his friend, Globus. As it happens, weird stuff happens on this island during the off-season: apparently, there’s a huge lizard running about; Ranko, the village idiot, is accusing the monks of sawing little Mirna in half; and, to top it all off, there’s the murder of Marillena a.k.a. “the matchstick girl” – a Romanian trans woman, and a prostitute known as the culprit for gonorrhoea cases all around the island. In charge of the investigation is Fero’s friend Mungos, the island’s chief of police, who draws Fero more and more into the investigation.

Međunarodni mediji sve više brinu zbog političke situacije u Bosni i Hercegovini. Od početka rata u Ukrajini, lako je osmišljen novi sukob na evropskom tlu, inspirisan retorikom bosanskih nacionalističkih političkih lidera. Strah od rata prodaje više dnevnih novina od mira. IZ BOSNE S LJUBAVLJU je putujući film koji ima za cilj upoznati stanovnike, bez obzira na njihove društvene pripadnosti, kako bi se govorilo o nadi, daleko od pogleda međunarodnih medija i daleko od stavova nacionalističkih lidera. The international media are more and more worried about the political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, they have easily imagined a second conflict on European soil, inspired by the rhetoric of Bosnian nationalist political leaders. The fear of war sells more newspapers than peace. FROM BOSNIA WITH LOVE is a road movie to meet the inhabitants, without community distinctions, to talk about hope, away from the gaze of the international press and far from the considerations of nationalist leaders.

Balkanski rat devedesetih godina rezultirao je nestankom hiljada ljudi, a njihovi posmrtni ostaci možda zauvijek ostanu nestali. Oni koji su ostali iza njih i preživjeli, polažu svoje nade u iskopavanja i naučni rad. Forenzički antropolozi i arheolozi rade s velikom koncentracijom. Osoba se stvara kost po kost. Hoće li dobiti identitet? Hoće li rodbina pronaći smiraj i grob da usidre svoje sjećanje i tugu? The Balkan War of the nineties resulted in the disappearance of thousands of people; their remains possibly missing forever. Survivors and those left behind pin their hopes on excavations and scientific work. Forensic anthropologists and archaeologists work with great concentration. A person takes shape bone by bone. Will they also get an identity? Will relatives finally receive closure and a grave to anchor their remembrance and grief?

Skriveni od teških proljetnih kiša, provode dane dajući jedno drugom ono što imaju. Perhaps one of the most unique portraits of old age. The story of two aging lovers, both around 90 years of age, sharing what is left of human tenderness. Hidden away from the heavy spring rains they share all they have left with each other, they share what is left of themselves.

U svom prvom dugometražnom filmu, naučno-fantastičnom dokumentarcu ONCE AN ALIEN, vizualna umjetnica Semâ Bekirović prati svog oca na putovanju u zemlju iz koje je izbjegao kao dijete tokom Drugog svjetskog rata. Mirza, izumitelj s opsesijom putovanja kroz vrijeme, i Semâ putuju kroz Bosnu i Hercegovinu u kamperu. Na tom putu susreću različite krajolike i ljude, otkrivajući kako Mirza uspostavlja veze s njima kroz zajednički osjećaj izgubljenosti, nostalgije i želje za povratkom u prošlost. Film kombinuje lične priče, nadrealne scene, te Mirzinu priču o traumatičnom djetinjstvu, izumima i teorijama. Granica između fantazije i stvarnosti postepeno blijedi, a stvara se mozaik različitih perspektiva.

najvećoj mjeri. Isti je slučaj i u dvije nacionalne selekcije (bivše Jugoslavije i Bosne i Hercegovine), u kojima nije pokazivala samo košarkaške i sportske, nego i ljudske vrijednosti. Njezino odrastanje i razvoj, tokom kojih je svoju visinu (iz hendikepa kako to, uglavnom, doživljavaju tinejdžeri) pretvorila u kapital i benefit, jedinstveni su i vrijedni pažnje.

In the documentary film SONJA we witness the struggle of a man for survival in a concentration camp. Prisoner Haris Hastor describes the days spent in captivity, torture, mistreatment, facing death, fighting, fear, powerlessness, strength, and ultimately escape.

The documentary RAZA THE GREAT seeks to leave a legacy of testimony about one of the world’s top basketball players, winner of several medals from continental, international, and Olympic championships, and accolades culminating in her entrance into the FIBA Hall of Fame. Her impact on basketball and sports in general, especially women’s sports, is immeasurable. It is about Razija Mujanović, who played in various clubs over her lengthy career, winning several trophies and accomplishing impacts, most of which she was primarily responsible for. The same is true for two national teams (former Yugoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina), which demonstrated basketball, athletics, and human values. Her development and growth, during which she transformed her height (from a disadvantage that started as a complex) into capital and benefit, are unique and noteworthy.

Kad je rat gotov? Čak i generacijama nakon, ljudi se još uvijek bore sa traumatiziranim dušama i ožiljcima na tijelima. Ipak, ne postoji ispravan način za suočavanje s mračnom ostavštinom. Film SUVENIRI RATA istražuje kako susret s posjetiteljima iz inostranstva predstavlja jednu opciju za dvojicu Bosanaca u potrazi za iscjeljenjem, ali postoje i oni koji uzimaju ostatke rata kao priliku za procvat budućnosti. When is a war over? Even a generation after, people still have to struggle with their traumatized souls and scarred bodies. Yet, there is not one right way to handle the grim legacy. SOUVENIRS OF WAR explores how contact with visitors from abroad is one option for two Bosnian men in their search for healing. But there is also who takes the war’s remnants as a ready-made opportunity for a blossoming future.

Karlo Afan de Rivera obilježio je mostarsku likovnu scenu 20. stoljeća, ostavivši iza sebe veliki broj slika rađenih prvenstveno u tehnici akvarela. Nažalost, njegovo ime postalo je zaboravljeno u 21. stoljeću - ne uči se u školama, ne postoji nijedan spomenik, ne održavaju se izložbe njegovih slika. Potaknut nepoznavanjem Karla Afana de Rivere, mladi redatelj Luka Vlaho odlučuje snimiti film o njemu. Istražujući njegovu životnu priču, Luka uočava sličnosti između Karla Afana de Rivere i sebe, te postavlja pitanje – kakva je pozicija umjetnika nekad i danas u sredini kakva je Mostar. Karlo Afan de Rivera left a significant mark on the art scene of 20thcentury Mostar, leaving behind a large number of paintings primarily done in watercolor technique. Unfortunately, his name has been forgotten in the 21st century – it is not taught in schools, there is no monument, and no exhibitions of his paintings are held. Inspired by the lack of recognition for Karlo Afan de Rivera, young director Luka Vlaho decides to make a film about him. While exploring his life story, Luka notices similarities between Karlo Afan de Rivera and himself, raising the question of the artist’s position in the past and present in a city like Mostar.

DEZERTERI je hibridni dokumentarni esej o mojoj generaciji - generaciji bosanskohercegovačkih srednjoškolaca iz grada Mostara, pogođenih razornim ratom na pragu svoje zrelosti. Ova tapiserija naših sjećanja na rane devedesete sastavljena je od modernih razglednica i nijemih snimaka mjesta na kojima su se nekada vodili ratovi, a koje smo mi, protagonisti ovog filma, bili prisiljeni napustiti. Spokoj ovih dana danas je u suprotnosti s emotivnim odlomcima iz pisama upućenih režiseru filma iz izbjegličkih kampova raštrkanih širom Evrope. Izbjeglice opisuju svoj bijeg preko granice, svoja iskustva u izbjegličkim kampovima i trajnu mržnju prema neprijateljima koji su im oduzeli dom i mladost. Film o izgubljenoj generaciji, egzilu, teškim izborima i odgovoru na najteže pitanje svakog rata: ostati ili pobjeći? DESERTERS is a hybrid documentary essay about my generation - a generation of Bosnian and Herzegovinian high schoolers from the town of Mostar, struck by a devastating war on the verge of their maturity. This tapestry of our memories of the early nineties is composed of modernday postcards and silent shots of places where wars used to be waged and which we, the protagonists of this film, were forced to abandon. The serenity of these places today is in contrast with the emotional excerpts from the letters addressed to the film’s director from refugee camps scattered all over Europe. The refugees describe their flight across the border, their experiences in refugee camps and their lasting hate of the enemies who took away their home and their youth. A film about a lost generation, exile, difficult choices and an answer to the toughest question of any war: to stay or to run?

Film prati dio dana pjesnika Vuka Rodića, rano jutro kada s majkom ritualno ispija kafu, odlazi da kupi hljeb i usput obilazi tri, za njega, uobičajena mjesta u Sarajevu. On je ulični šetač, čovjek koji svakodnevno gazi uvijek iste ulice Sarajeva po nekom svom ustaljenom rasporedu, čovjek kojeg mnogi poznaju iz viđenja, ali zapravo ne znaju ko je on, čime se bavi i koja je njegova životna priča. Kroz tri izrecitovane pjesme, koje započinju tri poglavlja filma i svaka je uvod u Vukov monolog, upoznaćemo po jedan segment Vukovog života: njegovo djetinjstvo, studentske dane i početak bolesti – zatim njegov pogled na književnost koja mu je spasila život – i konačno, njegova svakodnevnica, pomirenost i svjesnost o vremenu i prostoru u kojem živi. The film follows a part of poet Vuk Rodić’s day, specifically the early morning when he ritualistically drinks coffee with his mother, goes to buy bread, and visits three places in Sarajevo that are familiar to him. He is a street wanderer, a man who walks the same streets of Sarajevo every day according to his established routine. Many recognize him by sight but do not truly know who he is, what he does, or his life story. Through three recited poems, which serve as the opening to three chapters of the film and lead into Vuk’s monologue, we get to know different aspects of Vuk’s life: his childhood, his student days, and the onset of his illness. We discover his perspective on literature, which saved his life, as well as his daily life, acceptance, and awareness of the time and space in which he lives.

Na putu do postizanja paraolimpijske norme, Joco i Nijaz moraju savladati brojne prepreke.

On their way to achieving the Paralympic qualifying standard, Joco and Nijaz must overcome numerous obstacles. The biggest of them is the fact that they were on opposing sides during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and now they have to share the same bed.

Kino na otvorenom na dnu presušenog jezera na jugu Bosne i Hercegovine otvara pogled prema tihoj prošlosti. Ribar dijeli svoja sjećanja na filmove koje su turisti iz Nizozemske snimali putujući bivšom Jugoslavijom šezdesetih i sedamdesetih godina. Kroz poetske, kolebljive i ponekad urnebesne opaske o ljudima i životinjama koje se pojavljuju na ekranu, on stvara subjektivni uvid u kompleksnu prošlost. An open air cinema on the dry bottom of a lake in the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina opens a window to a silent past. A fisherman shares his associative reflections on found footage films shot by Dutch tourists traveling to the former Yugoslavia in the sixties and seventies. Via poetic, hesitant and sometimes hilarious remarks on both the people and the animals appearing on the screen, he creates a subjective insight into a complex past.

Fudbalski stadioni odavno su postali mjesto eskalacije sukoba, a svaki incident tokom fudbalske utakmice postaje naslov koji pali vatru. U međuvremenu, vojske šest bivših jugoslovenskih republika se svake godine okupljaju, već više od decenije, na turniru malog fudbala u ime mira, gotovo potpuno ignorisanog od strane medija. Football stadiums have long been the designated places for the escalation of conflicts and every incident during a football match makes for a firestarting headline. Meanwhile, the armies of six former Yugoslav republics have been getting together every year for over a decade, for a futsal tournament in the name of peace, in almost complete media silence.

Film prati lik djevojčice Nade od njenog rođenja do punoljetstva, a prikazuje Hercegovinu od 1907. do 1922. godine, koje su bile teške, pogotovo preteške za današnje razumijevanje. Nada upoznaje fra. Didak Buntić (franjevac), koji svoj doprinos Hercegovini prati od opismenjavanja, gradnje širokobriješke bazilike, kalemljenja voćaka (kalemljenja našeg krša u nešto pitomo) i spašavanja hercegovačke djece od gladi. Prikazani su prizori teških i okrutnih vremena prije i za vrijeme Prvog svjetskog rata i neizbježnih gladnih godina, koje su u crno zavile naš narod. Spas pronalazi fra. Didaka Buntića koji, kao hercegovački Mojsije, preko 17.000 djece svih vjeroispovijesti izvodi iz Hercegovine u Slavoniju kao obećanu zemlju spasa za našu djecu. The film follows the character of a girl named Nada from her birth to adulthood, portraying Herzegovina from 1907 to 1922. These were difficult years, particularly challenging for present-day understanding. Nada encounters Friar Didak Buntić (a Franciscan), whose contributions to Herzegovina include literacy campaigns, the construction of the basilica in Široki Brijeg, grafting fruit trees (grafting our harsh land into something fertile), and saving Herzegovinian children from famine. The film depicts scenes of harsh and cruel times before and during World War I, as well as the inevitable years of hunger that engulfed our people. The salvation comes in the form of Friar Didak Buntić, who, like a Herzegovinian Moses, leads over 17,000 children of all faiths out of Herzegovina to Slavonia as a promised land of refuge for our children.
