Dobrodošli na 30. Sarajevo Film Festival / Welcome to the 30th Sarajevo Film Festival

30. izdanje Sarajevo Film Festivala nastavlja ispunjavati osnovni koncept našeg festivala – prikazati najkvalitetnije filmove i serije našoj publici i biti platforma za razvoj regionalne kinematografije.

Festivalski program uključuje preko 250 filmova iz cijelog svijeta, od čega 57 premijerno prikazanih filmova iz naše regije u četiri selekcije takmičarskih programa koji čine da Sarajevo Film Festival i ove godine bude mjesto gdje najšira publika, kao i filmska struka i kritika, mogu dobiti punu sliku filmske umjetnosti u Jugoistočnoj Evropi, Ukrajini i Južnom Kavkazu danas. Ove regije su istovremeno i u žiži i na margini svjetske pažnje, a selekcija filmova na ovogodišnjem Festivalu pruža jedinstvenu priliku za dublje razumijevanje različitih nijansi individualnih kao i kolektivnih iskustava s ove geopolitičke, ali i umjetničke margine, a koje često nedostaju u sklapanju kompleksne slike današnjice. Uz to, retrospektiva filmova Elije Suleimana u programu “Posvećeno”, kao i programi “Doha Film Institute predstavlja” i “Suočavanje s prošlošću”, na sličan način bave se uzrocima i posljedicama nasilja, okupacije, raseljavanja u Palestini, Izraelu i drugdje na Bliskom Istoku i ostatku svijeta, što upotpunjava sliku ovogodišnjeg programa kao okrenutog dubljem promišljanju aktuelnih događaja. Naše iskustvo u proteklih 30 godina jeste da je refleksija na najteža vremena putem dijaloga i umjetnosti neophodna ako želimo da mir prevlada. To je budućnost koju želimo da gradimo.

Predstojeće izdanje Sarajevo Film Festivala donosi mnogo novina. Za svoju tridesetogodišnjicu Festival uspostavlja nove lokacije u gradu. Marindvor se otvara kao novi centar festivalskog okupljanja. Poslovni program CineLink dani filmske industrije ove se godine seli u konferencijski centar Swissotela Sarajevo, u čijoj neposrednoj blizini će biti smještena potpuno nova lokacija “Festivalska bašta”, mjesto susreta festivalskih gostiju. U blizini su i partnerski hotel Holiday i partnerska kina Cineplexx Sarajevo, uz koje se za ovogodišnje izdanje Festivala uspostavlja posve novo kino “Ljetno kino Centar”. Ulica Franca Lehara, između Cineplexxa Sarajevo i “Ljetnog kina Centar”, pretvara se u pješačku zonu sa posebnim programom događanja za sve posjetitelje.

Amfiteatar poslovnih zgrada Unitic koristit će se kao kinosala za poslovne projekcije još nezavršenih filmova. Kroz ove promjene Festival doprinosi urbanoj regeneraciji u svim dijelovima grada u kojima se održava. Donoseći nove kulturne sadržaje u ovaj dio grada koji je već poslovni, politički i komercijalni centar, Festival stvara novi kulturni centar grada i istinski centar Bosne i Hercegovine.

Film otvaranja je NAKON LJETA bh. oskarovca Danisa Tanovića koji se prikazuje van konkurencije za nagrade, budući da je Festival učestvovao u njegovoj produkciji.

Javna predavanja u programu Masterclass održat će kultni autori i glumci Elia Suleiman, John Turturro, Meg Ryan, te oskarovci Cord Jefferson i Alexander Payne. CineLink dani filmske industrije, Talents Sarajevo, Nagrade Srce Sarajeva za TVserije, konferencijski program, pretpremijere i premijere regionalnih i domaćih filmova i serija, te 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 – 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 utjecaja 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 nezaboravne trenutke na 30. Sarajevo Film Festivalu!

E The 30th edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival remains faithful to the event’s guiding concept of presenting films and television series of the highest quality to our audiences, and being a platform for the development of film production in our region.

The festival will screen more than 250 films from around the world, including 57 from our region that will have their premieres in four competition sections. This makes the festival the best place for a broad audience, as well as film professionals and critics, to gain full insight into the current state of film production in Southeast Europe, the Southern Caucasus, and Ukraine. These regions are simultaneously in the centre and on the fringes of the world’s attention and the selection of films in this 2024 edition of the Festival offers a unique opportunity to gain deeper understanding of the nuances of personal and collective experiences from these geopolitical and artistic margins, which are often neglected when it comes to putting together the complex puzzle of our global reality. A retrospective of the films of Elia Suleiman in our Tribute to programme, as well as our Doha Film Institute Presents and Dealing With the Past sections, similarly focus on the causes and consequences of violence, occupation, and displacement in Palestine, Israel, and elsewhere, in the Middle East and the world at large, contributing further to this year’s line-up’s search for a deeper understanding of current affairs. Thirty years of experience have shown us that reflecting on the most difficult of times through dialogue and art is necessary if we want peace to prevail. That is the future we want to build.

This edition of the Festival introduces many novelties. For this 30th anniversary, there are new locations in town, with the Marindvor neighbourhood emerging as a new central gathering point. The business segment of our CineLink Film Industry Days moves this year into the conference centre of Swissotel Sarajevo, which is located in the vicinity of the Festival Garden—a brand-new gathering place for Festival guests. Also nearby are our partner hotel, the Holiday, and our partner cinemas, Cineplexx Sarajevo, as well as a new screening venue, the Summer Screen Centre. Franca Lehara Street, between Cineplexx Sarajevo and the Summer Screen Centre, will be transformed into a pedestrian zone hosting a special programme of events for all our visitors. Finally, the amphitheatre of the Unitic Business Centre is where works-in-progress will be screened for film professionals.

With these changes and additions, the festival contributes to urban regeneration in the parts of the city where it is taking place. By bringing new cultural content to this part of Sarajevo, which is already the city’s business, political, and commercial centre, the Festival is creating a new cultural centre, and the true centre of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Festival kick offs with MY LATE SUMMER by Academy Award-winning Bosnian director Danis Tanović. The film is being presented out of competition due to the Festival’s involvement in its production.

This year’s masterclass programme include lectures by iconic film auteurs authors and actors Elia Suleiman, John Turturro, Meg Ryan, and Oscar® winners Cord Jefferson and Alexander Payne.

We are confident that CineLink Industry Days, Talents Sarajevo, the Heart of Sarajevo Awards for television series, a programme of conferences, avant-premieres and premieres of national and regional films and drama series, and the many films from around the world slated to be presented in cinemas throughout Sarajevo, as well as in Mostar and Tuzla and via the Festival’s VoD platform, will make this edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival a unique celebration of film and television art four our city, our country, and the surrounding region.

A festival such as ours is made possible by the genuine support of our sponsors, backers, and partners, which include numerous private and public companies, government institutions and institutions of culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina, national and international foundations, and foreign embassies to our country, all of which share our values and our desire to see the continued growth and development of the Sarajevo Film Festival as a valuable cultural event that has broad economic and social impact on the city of Sarajevo and throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are grateful for their support.

We are also grateful to all friends of the Festival and the people committed to organising it, both throughout the year and in the period immediately preceding the event. Their love of film and their desire to see the Festival thrive is the true secret of our success.

We welcome our guests and visitors with the wish that they enjoy unforgettable moments during the 30th Sarajevo Film Festival.

PAUL SCHRADER

Reditelj i scenarist, SAD / Director and Writer, USA

PREDSJEDNIK ŽIRIJA

Paul Joseph Schrader karijeru je započeo kao filmski kritičar, a zatim je nastavio studije na Univerzitetu Columbia, Calvin Collegeu i UCLA Film School. Scenarista je kultnog filma TAKSISTA iz 1976. godine, u režiji Martina Scorsesea i sa Robertom De Nirom u glavnoj ulozi. Scenarij filma, koji predstavlja mračno istraživanje urbane otuđenosti i moralnog propadanja, ostaje jedan od najslavnijih u filmskoj historiji. Ova saradnja sa Scorseseom nastavila se kroz druge značajne filmove, kao što su RAZJARENI BIK i POSLJEDNJE KRISTOVO ISKUŠENJE, čime je Schrader utvrdio svoju reputaciju majstora pripovjedača. Njegov rediteljski debi, PLAVI OVRATNIK iz 1978. godine, pokazao je njegovu sposobnost da potakne moćne glumačke izvedbe, kao i oštro oko za društvene komentare. Nakon toga je režirao kritički priznate filmove poput filmova AMERIČKI ŽIGOLO, MISHIMA i GRAD ZLOČINA. Godine 2017. napisao je scenarij i režirao film PRVI REFORMIRANI, hvaljen zbog svojih dubokih egzistencijalnih tema, koji je dobio brojna priznanja, uključujući nominaciju za Oscara za najbolji originalni scenarij.

Njegova skorašnja filmografija uključuje naslove poput AS U RUKAVU, GLAVNI VRTLAR i OH CANADA, naglašavajući njegov trajni utjecaj i nepresušnu kreativnost u savremenom filmskom stvaralaštvu.

E JURY PRESIDENT

Paul Joseph Schrader began his career as a film critic before pursuing further studies at Columbia University, Calvin College, and the UCLA Film School. He made his mark in 1976 as the screenwriter of TAXI DRIVER, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro. The screenplay, a dark exploration of urban alienation and moral decay, remains one of the most celebrated in cinematic history. Schrader’s collaboration with Scorsese continued with other notable films, including RAGING BULL and THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, cementing his reputation as a master storyteller. IN 1978, Schrader’s directorial debut, BLUE COLLAR, showcased his ability to elicit powerful performances and his keen eye for social commentary. He went on to direct critically acclaimed films such as AMERICAN GIGOLO, MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS, and AFFLICTION. In 2017, he wrote and directed FIRST REFORMED, a film that was lauded for its profound existential themes and that received numerous accolades, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. His recent projects include THE CARD COUNTER, MASTER GARDENER, and OH, CANADA, underscoring his enduring influence and creativity in contemporary filmmaking.

Lomljivi svijet / The World of Fragility

Naša ovogodišnja selekcija ujedno je poziv i uputstvo, mogućnost i ograničenje, obećanje i prijetnja, utočište i izazov. Svi odabrani filmovi izraz su brige njihovih autora za svijet jučer, danas i sutra. Selekcija bez sumnje nudi polifoniju različitih i raznovrsnih pogleda na rat, historiju, ljubav, izdaju, krhku budućnost i vječitu ljudsku potrebu za pripadanjem. Sa ovim odabirom filmova pozivamo vas da se osvrnete na ambivalentnost svijeta današnjice koji se čini lomljivijim nego ikada ranije.

Saobraćajna nesreća katalizator je radnje u filmu ARKADIJA, drugom dugometražnom uratku grčkog autora Yorgosa Zoisa, koji je premijerno prikazan u programu Encounters Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. Radi se o intrigantnoj, metafizičkoj priči zasnovanoj na ideji da su emocije koje nas vežu za ključne ljude u našim životima – poput ljubavi, osjećaja krivice, žaljenja ili čak rastuće, neutažive mržnje – jače od samog života. Likovi u ovoj atmosferičnoj, zadovoljavajuće sporoj grčkoj drami otkrivaju teške istine. Zois postiže delikatan balans između banalnih aspekata žalovanja i inventivnog okvira paralelne natprirodne priče. Radnja drugog dugometražnog filma srbijanskog reditelja Vuka Ršumovića MEĐU BOGOVIMA smještena je u Beogradu. Priča o izbjeglicama koje prolaze Balkanom, sa svojim životnim pričama i bolom, prati Afganistanku koja putuje s mužem i troje djece, ali odluči da neće otići iz Beograda dok ne pokopa svoga brata pod njegovim pravim imenom. Rastrzana između muža, koji želi otići iz Beograda, i oca, koji sina želi ukopati u domovini, odluku odluči donijeti sama. Film će imati svoju svjetsku premijeru u našem programu.

Ukrajinski film REDAKCIJA satirična je priča o postčinjeničnom svijetu čija je radnja smještena u Ukrajinu. U filmu mladi novinar pokušava razotkriti istinu o šumskom požaru u ekosistemu vijesti zakrčenom korupcijom i lažnim vijestima. Reditelj Roman Bondarchuk film je snimio prije ruske invazije na Ukrajinu, a završio ga je tokom rata. Međutim, ovaj film nije rediteljevo ljubavno pismo njegovoj zemlji. Kritički ton filma

nije usmjeren na konkretne predstavnike vlasti, već na sve koji pomažu da se odbaci značaj istine. Film je premijerno prikazan u programu Forum festivala u Berlinu.

U filmu OBITELJSKA TERAPIJA slovenačka rediteljica Sonja Prosenc slika bizaran, ali duboko privlačan portret porodice koja pokušava shvatiti kako porodice funkcionišu. Film često govori više tišinom nego dijalozima, pružajući uvid u međuljudske odnose sa ili bez šireg konteksta. Film je otvorio Filmski festival u Tribeci, a kod nas će imati svoju evropsku premijeru.

Iz Gruzije nam dolazi debitantski film Tatoa Kotesvhilija SVETI ELEKTRICITET. Film je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu, a karakteriše ga specifična dramaturška dinamika njegove uzbudljive, nepredvidive, a istovremeno veoma ozbiljne priče.

Rumunski film VELIKA SEDMICA reditelja Andreja Cohna, koji je premijerno prikazan u programu Forum festivala u Berlinu, zasnovan je na noveli “Istočna baklja“ rumunskog autora Iona Luce Caragiale. Reditelj je u filmu izgradio filmski i psihološki nijansiran svijet. Njegovi likovi dominiraju tim svijetom kao da žive danas. Čak i nakon što je iskra antisemitizma potpaljena, glavni junak Leiba i njegova supruga prave planove, svađaju se ili se kikoću od sreće. Film daje dobar primjer kako se lako mir može pretvoriti u rat.

TRI KILOMETRA DO KRAJA SVIJETA reditelja Emanuela Pârvua bolna je priča o represiji i negiranju pojedinca u izolovanom rumunskom selu u delti Dunava. Drama očajnika odigrava se nakon što roditelji otkriju da je njihov sin homoseksualac. Film koji je premijerno prikazan u takmičaskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu teška je drama o zajednici koja želi okrenuti pogled od pojedinaca koji se razlikuju od većine i od vlastitih grijeha.

Austrijski film SELO POKRAJ RAJA reditelja Moa Harwea portret je jedne somalijske porodice i njihovih skromnih snova. Jednostavan zaplet filma snagu crpi iz briljantnih likova s kojima se

Elma Tataragić

nikada ne želimo rastati. Vizuelna zamršenost, ljepota i emotivnost filma začuđujući su kada se ima na umu da se radi o Harweovom debitantskom uratku. Film je premijerno prikazan u programu Izvjestan pogled festivala u Cannesu.

Konačno, uz osam filmova koji će se takmičiti za Srce Sarajeva, u programu ćemo premijerno prikazati i drugi igrani film Mirjane Karanović MAJKA MARA. Mirjana je u ovom filmu o ženskoj seksualnosti, rijetko viđenoj na filmu u našoj regiji, odigrala i glavnu ulogu.

Svi filmovi, značajno fokusirani na pitanje ličnog identiteta u turbulentnoj prošlosti, sadašnjosti i budućnosti, u prvi plan stavljaju problematiku ambivalentnosti.

Dobro došli u Takmičarski program 2024!

E This year’s selection for the feature competition is both an invitation and an instruction, a possibility and a restriction, a promise and a threat, a safe place and a challenge. In their works, all the filmmakers express various concerns about the world—today, yesterday, and tomorrow. This gathering of films is a veritable polyphony of diverse perspectives on war, on history, on love, betrayal, the fragilily of the future, and everlasting human need to belong. Through this selection, we invite you to reflect on the ambivalence of our present world, which at times seems more fragile than it has ever been.

A car accident is the catalyst in ARCADIA, Greek filmmaker Yorgos Zois’s second feature, which had its premiere in the Encounters section of the Berlin International Film Festival. It is an intriguing metaphysical story based on the idea that the emotional ties—such as love, guilt, regret, or even simmering, unquenchable hatred—that bind us to key people in our lives are stronger than life itself. In this atmospheric drama with a satisfying, slow build, the characters discover difficult truths. Zois strikes a delicate balance between the banality of grief and the inventive framework of a parallel supernatural story.

DWELLING AMONG THE GODS, the second feature by Serbian director Vuk Ršumović, is set in Belgrade and focuses on refugees passing through the Balkans with their stories and pain. An Afghan woman, travelling with her husband and three children, decides she cannot leave Belgrade before burying her recently deceased brother under his own name instead of as an unidentified person. Stuck amid her wishes, her husband’s urge to move on, and her father’s desire to bury his son at home in Afghanistan, she gathers the courage to act on her own decisions. The film is a world premiere in our programme.

THE EDITORIAL OFFICE delivers a satire of our post-truth times set in Ukraine, where a young journalist struggles to expose the truth about a forest fire in a news ecosystem awash in corruption and fake news. Director Roman Bondarchuk shot the film before the invasion of Ukraine and completed it amid the war, but it is not a love letter to his country: its critique is not levelled at any particular government but, rather, it targets anyone who collaborates in disrupting the idea that the truth matters. The film premiered in the Forum section of the Berlin International Film Festival.

With FAMILY THERAPY, Slovenian director Sonja Prosenc offers a bizarre but deeply inviting portrait of a family still trying to understand its own inner workings. The film often says much more without words than through dialogue, and gives us a window into a particular moment in time, opening on characters at a certain point in their relationships with or without added context. The film opened at the Tribeca Film Festival, and it is presented as a European premiere in Sarajevo.

From Georgia comes HOLY ELECTRICITY, the debut feature by Tato Kotesvhili. The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and is characterised by a special and dynamic film dramaturgy that leads us through an exciting, unpredictable, yet very serious story.

The Romanian film HOLY WEEK by Andrei Cohn, which premiered in the Forum at the Berlinale,

is a free adaptation of the 1889 Romanian novella “An Easter Torch” by Ion Luca Caragiale. Here, the director crafts a world illuminated by considerable cinematic and psychological nuance. His characters seem to inhabit their world as if they were alive today. Even when the fuse of anti-Semitism has already been lit, the central character and his wife make plans, argue, or giggle with joy. The film is a good example of how easily war can arise out of an apparently peaceful situation.

Directed by Emanuel Pârvu, THREE KILOMETRES TO THE END OF THE WORLD is a painful tale of repression and denial in a remote Romanian village in the Danube delta. A drama of despair plays out when a family discovers their son is gay. The film, which premiered in the Official Competition at the Festival de Cannes, is a tough drama about a whole community that wants to look away, both from others’ differences and from its own culpability.

From Austria, Mo Harawe’s THE VILLAGE NEXT TO PARADISE portrays a Somali family and their humble dreams. The simple narrative of the film derives its strength from brilliant characters we never want to leave. The film is so visually intricate, beautiful, and emotional that it is comes as some surprise that it is Harawe’s debut. The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes.

Finally, alongside the eight films competing for the Heart of Sarajevo, we present the premiere of Mirjana Karanović’s second feature, MOTHER MARA, with Karanović herself in the lead role in a story about female sexuality of a kind rarely seen in films from this region.

All these films feature a high degree of reflection on one’s own identity in a turbulent past, present, and projected future, bringing the theme of ambivalence to the fore.

Welcome to the Competition Programme 2024! Elma Tataragić Selektorica / Programmer

Arcadia / Arkadija

Šarmantna neurologinja Katerina i veoma cijenjeni bivši doktor Yannis putuju u napušteno odmaralište pored mora. Na putu do tamo, dok se u kasnu jesen voze pješčanim dinama, u njihovom autu vlada tišina adekvatna nelagodnom povodu njihovog putovanja. Naime, Yannisa su pozvali da u lokalnoj bolnici maloga primorskog grada identifikuje žrtvu tragične nesreće. Nakon što im lokalni policajac saopšti da je žrtva vozilom sletjela preko ograde kamenog mosta i povede ih u mrtvačnicu, Katerinina najgora sumnja se obistinjuje. Zajedno sa Yannisom, ali također i sama, noćima posjećuje misteriozni, rustikalni bar na plaži po imenu Arkadija, kako bi sklopila dijelove zagonetke i razotkrila dirljivu priču o ljubavi, gubitku, prihvatanju i pomirenju s istinom.

Yorgos Zois je grčki reditelj nastanjen u Atini. Studirao je primijenjenu matematiku i nuklearnu fiziku na Univerzitetu u Atini, a potom, kao dobitnik Costa Gavras stipendije, završio studij režije pri Institutu za film UdK u Berlinu. Njegovi kratkometražni filmovi prikazani su na brojnim festivalima širom svijeta, između ostalog i u programu Sedmica kritike festivala u Cannesu i na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji, te su mu donijeli više međunarodnih nagrada, uključujući Nagradu Evropske filmske akademije za najbolji evropski kratki film. Njegov prvi dugometražni film PREKID svjetsku premijeru je imao 2015. godine na festivalu u Veneciji, te je nominovan za devet nagrada Grčke filmske akademije osvojivši Nagradu za najboljeg mladog reditelja. ARKADIJA je njegov drugi dugometražni film, a premijerno je prikazan 2024. u programu Encounters Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E Radiant neurologist Katerina and Yannis, formerly a well-respected physician, head off to a deserted seaside resort. Silence reigns in the car as they travel across sandy dunes in a windy autumn, matching the less-than-pleasant occasion: Yannis has been summoned to identify the victim of a tragic accident at the hospital of the small town. When the local policeman informs Katerina and Yannis that the victim’s vehicle had plunged over the parapet of a stone bridge before leading them to the morgue, Katerina’s worst suspicions are confirmed. Together with Yannis, as well as on her solo nightly excursions to a mysterious, rustic beach bar called Arcadia, Katerina begins to put the pieces of the puzzle together, revealing a haunting story of love, loss, acceptance and letting go.

Yorgos Zois is a Greek director based in Athens. He studied applied math and nuclear physics at the National Technical University of Athens, and film direction at the Berlin University of the Arts with scholarship by Costa-Gavras. His short films have screened at festivals around the world, including in the Semaine de la Critique at the Festival de Cannes and at the Venice International Film Festival, and won several international awards, including a European Film Academy Award for Best European Short. INTERRUPTION, his first feature-length film, had its world premiere at Venice in 2015. The film received nine nominations from the Greek Film Academy and won the award for Best Newcomer Director. ARCADIA, Zois’s second feature, had its world premiere in the Encounters section of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2024.

Među bogovima / Dwelling among the Gods

Nakon iscrpljujućeg putovanja do Evrope, mlada Afganistanka Fereshteh sa suprugom i troje djece stiže do Beograda. Tu saznaje da se njen mlađi brat Ali, koji je u Beograd stigao prije njih, utopio i da će uskoro biti sahranjen kao neidentifikovana osoba. Iako Fereshteh ne posjeduje lične dokumente koji bi mogli potvrditi njen vlastiti identitet, odbija napustiti Beograd prije nego što svoga brata pokopa pod njegovim imenom. Pokreće komplikovanu proceduru kako bi potvrdila njegov identitet uz pomoć DNK uzorka njihovog oca koji je još uvijek u Afganistanu. Nakon što konačno uspije u namjeri i dobije dozovolu da preuzme tijelo svoga brata, Fareshteh saznaje da njen otac želi sahraniti svoga sina u Afganistanu. Fereshteh se čitav život bez pogovora povinovala očevoj volji, ali ovaj put odlučuje djelovati na vlastitu ruku.

Vuk Ršumović je studirao filmsku i pozorišnu dramaturgiju na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu, dok je studij analitičke psihologije Carla Gustava Junga pohađao u Beogradu i Zürichu. Napisao je brojne scenarije za televiziju i pozorište i radi kao profesor scenarija i filmske režije. Njegov prvi dugometražni igrani film NIČIJE DIJETE premijerno je prikazan u programu Međunarodna sedmica kritike festivala u Veneciji gdje je osvojio tri nagrade: Nagradu publike, nagrade FIPRESCI za najbolji film (u programima Horizonti i Sedmica kritike) i nagrade FEDEORA za najbolji scenarij. Film je osvojio više od 35 nagrada širom svijeta, uključujući nagradu Novi glasovi/Nove vizije na Međunarodnom fimskom festivalu u Palm Springsu, Nagradu za najbolji film na Filmskom festivalu GoEast u Wiesbadenu i Nagradu za najboljeg reditelja na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu Tarkovski. Godine 2020. napisao je i režirao televizijsku miniseriju KALUP zasnovanu na istinitoj priči o zloglasnoj aferi “nestanka beba” u bivšoj Jugoslaviji.

E After an exhausting journey to Europe, Fereshteh, a young Afghan woman, reaches Belgrade with her husband and three children. Here, she finds out that her younger brother Ali, who came to Belgrade earlier, has drowned and will soon be buried as an unidentified person. Although Fereshteh does not have documents to prove her own identity, she refuses to leave Belgrade before burying her brother under his proper name. She initiates a complex procedure to prove his identity through use of a sample of DNA from her father, who is still in Afghanistan. After she succeeds and obtains the permit to take over Ali’s body, Fereshteh learns that her father wants to bury his son in Afghanistan. All her life, Fereshteh has bent to her father’s will without question. This time, she decides to act on her own.

Vuk Ršumović studied writing for film and theatre at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, and studied the analytical psychology of Carl Jung in Belgrade and Zürich. He has written extensively for television and theatre and is a professor of screenwriting and film directing.

The film has won more than 35 awards worldwide, among them the New Voices/NewVisions Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the Best Film Award at the GoEast Film Festival in Wiesbaden, and the Best Director Award at the Tarkovsky International Film Festival. In 2020, Ršumović wrote and directed the TV mini-series THE MOULD, based on a true story about a notorious case of missing babies in the former Yugoslavia.

Therapy

Obitelj slovenačkih novobogataša živi u staklenoj kući i oko sebe širi energiju ravnodušne superiornosti. Njihov život služi kao satirična pozadina za duhovitu obradu premise Pasolinijevog filma TEOREMA: mladi stranac useljava se u dom jedne obitelji, narušava obiteljsku dinamiku i razotkriva njihove disfunkcionalne odnose i haos koji se kriju ispod površine njihovog života. Kroz priču o jednoj obitelji, ovaj tragikomični film propituje aktuelne društvene probleme.

Sonja Prosenc je debitirala s međunarodno nagrađenim filmom DRVO. Njen naredni dugometražni film POVIJEST LJUBAVI 2018. godine je osvojio nagradu Kristalni globus Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Karlovym Varyma. POVIJEST LJUBAVI i DRVO su bili slovenački kandidati za Oscara za najbolji strani film. Cineuropa ju je proglasila jednom od osam “najperspektivnijih evropskih rediteljica”, a 2020. godine je uvrštena u prvi Zlatni album Eurimagesa, s 50 drugih istaknutih evropskih rediteljica koje su obilježile prethodne dvije decenije. Uspješno oscilira između arthouse filma i žanrovskih uradaka, poput nagrađivane kratke komedije RAJ i TV-serije TRIGRAD, premijerno predstavljene na Series Mania festivalu u Lillu u Francuskoj 2022. godine. Njen recentni igrani film PORODIČNA TERAPIJA premijerno je prikazan 2004. godine u takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog narativnog filma Filmskog festivala Tribeca.

E FAMILY THERAPY revolves around a nouveau riche Slovenian family who live in a glass house, exuding an air of detached superiority. This serves as a satirical backdrop for a humorous re-imagining of the premise of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s TEOREMA: a young stranger arrives in the family household, disrupting the delicate balance of family dynamics and revealing a world of chaos and dysfunctional relationships hidden beneath the surface. Through this family’s story, the film explores contemporary social issues in the tone of tragicomedy.

Sonja Prosenc made her feature-film debut with the internationally award-winning and critically acclaimed film THE TREE. Her second feature, HISTORY OF LOVE, received a Special Mention in the Crystal Globe competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2018. Cineuropa named Prosenc one of eight European female directors to watch, and in 2020 she was included in the first Eurimages Gold Album among fifty prominent European female directors of the last twenty years. She glides successfully between art-house films and genre works like the short, award-winning comedy PARADISE, and the television series TRIGRAD, first presented at Series Mania 2022 in Lille. FAMILY THERAPY, her newest feature, had its premiere in the International Narrative Competition of the Tribeca Film Festival in 2024.

Mladi prirodoslovnjak Yura svjedoči zločinu dok traga za primjercima ugrožene vrste mrmota u divljim stepskim predjelima južne Ukrajine. Odlučan da razotkrije istinu o onome čemu je svjedočio, Yura svoju fotodokumentaciju s mjesta zločina nosi u redakciju lokalnih novina. Međutim, ubrzo shvata da tamo nema nikoga zainteresovanog za istjerivanje pravde. Dok se iza brda valja veliki rat, životno naivni Yura podliježe zovu lažnih vijesti, “ukradenih” izbora i misterioznih kultnih rituala. U potrazi za istinom, naš bi junak trebao pronaći odgovor na pitanje da li je i sam predstavnik ugrožene vrste dobroga čovjeka ili tek obični gubitnik.

Roman Bondarchuk je diplomirao na Državnom univerzitetu za pozorište, film i televiziju u Kijevu. Režirao je kratke dokumentarce, muzičke spotove i dugometražni film VULKAN, premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Karlovym Varyma, a zatim i na više od 50 filmskih festivala širom svijeta osvojivši ukupno 12 nagrada, uključujući Državnu nagradu Ševčenko. Romanov dugometražni dokumentarac UKRAINIAN SHERIFFS osvojio je Specijalnu nagradu žirija Međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu (IDFA), te Veliku nagradu programa Docs Against Gravity Međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma Ji.hlava. Njegov drugi dokumentarni film DIXIE LAND premijerno je prikazan na Festivalu dokumentarnog filma Full Frame u SAD-u, te je osvojio Golden Duke nagradu za najbolji ukrajinski film na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Odesi. Njegov recentni film REDAKCIJA premijerno je prikazan u programu Forum Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2024. godine.

E In the wild steppes of southern Ukraine, a young nature researcher named Yura is looking for an endangered species of groundhog. Instead, he witnesses a crime. Eager to expose the truth, Yura takes his photo evidence to the editorial office of the local newspaper. He soon realises, however, that nobody there cares about the pursuit of justice. While a major war looms on the horizon, Yura’s naive worldview splinters in a storm of fake news, rigged political elections, and mysterious cult rituals. On his quest, this hero will find out who he really is—that endangered species of the good man, or merely a loser?

Săptămâna Mare / Velika sedmica / Holy Week

Velika sedmica, negdje u Rumuniji, početkom 19. vijeka. Jevrej Leiba, vlasnik prenoćišta, u napetim je odnosima sa svojim uposlenikom, kršćaninom Gheorgheom, usljed čega ga odluči otpustiti. Osvetoljubivi Gheorghe zaprijeti Leibi da će se vratiti na uskršnje veče da sa njim “sravni” račune. Zbog te prijetnje Leiba gubi vjeru u mogućnost suživota sa svojim neprijateljski i antisemitski nastrojenim okruženjem. Od toga trenutka Leiba sve teže razlikuje stvarnu opasnost od vlastitog osjećaja ugroženosti te doživljava transformaciju koja će imati ekstremne posljedice.

Andrei Cohn je rođen u Bukureštu 1972. godine. Studirao je likovne umjetnosti prije nego se okrenuo režiji i pisanju scenarija. Nakon što je snimio brojne kratkometražne filmove 2010-ih godina, snima svoj prvi dugometražni film POVRATAK KUĆI, a zatim i drugi HAPŠENJE, premijerno prikazan u takmičarskim programima festivala u Karlovym Varyma i Transilvaniji, kao i na Filmskom festivalu u Kairu. VELIKA SEDMICA je njegov treći dugometražni film, a premijerno je prikazan u programu Forum Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2024. godine.

E Holy Week, somewhere in Romania, about 1900. The troublesome relationship between the Jewish innkeeper Leiba and his Christian employee Gheorghe comes to a head, and so Leiba decides to dismiss the latter. Vengeful, Gheorghe promises he will return on Easter Night to “settle” accounts with Leiba. This threat is the last straw that crushes Leiba’s attempts to inhabit the hostile, anti-Semitic environment that surrounds him. From this moment on, Leiba struggles to distinguish between actual danger and that fabricated by his anxieties, and he goes down a path of transformation that leads to extreme consequences.

Andrei Cohn was born in Bucharest in 1972. He trained in fine arts before turning to directing and screenwriting. After making a series of short films in the early 2010s, he directed his first feature, BACK HOME, following it with AREST, which was presented in competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, and was selected for the Cairo and Transylvania International Film Festivals. HOLY WEEK, his third feature film, had its premiere in the Forum 24 programme of the Berlin International Film Festival.

U vjetrovitom somalijskom selu, članovi novouspostavljene porodice moraju navigirati između svojih različitih aspiracija i kompleksnog svijeta koji ih okružuje. Ljubav, povjerenje i izdržljivost pomažu im da se kreću svojim životnim putevima.

Trei kilometri până la capătul lumii / Tri kilometra do kraja svijeta / Three Kilometres to the End of the World

Sedamnaestogodišnji Adi provodi ljeto u svome rodnom selu u delti Dunava. Jedne noći postaje žrtva brutalnog uličnog napada i njegov svijet se okreće naglavačke. Njegovi roditelji ga više ne posmatraju na isti način kao ranije, a privid o pitomosti sela počinje da se urušava.

Emanuel Pârvu je rođen 1979. godine u Rumuniji. Glumu je studirao na Državnom institutu za pozorište i film u Bukureštu. Osim što je glumio u filmovima poznatih rumunjskih reditelja, poput Cristiana Munguia, Pârvu je radio kao pozorišni i filmski reditelj, te je doktorirao dramaturgiju. S pozorišnim predstavama osvojio je više nagrada, a na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu Anonimul u Rumuniji nagrađen je i za kratki film PUI, CARTOFI PRAJITI SI-O COLA. S debitantskim igranim filmom MEDA ILI NE TAKO SJAJNA STRANA STVARI osvojio je Srce Sarajeva za najboljeg reditelja 2017. godine. Njegov najnoviji film TRI KILOMETRA DO KRAJA SVIJETA premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu ovogodišnjeg festivala u Cannesu.

E Seventeen-year-old Adi is spending the summer in his home village in the Danube Delta. One night, he is brutally attacked on the street; the next day, his world is turned upside-down. His parents no longer look at him as they did, and the seeming tranquillity of the village starts to crack.

Emanuel Pârvu was born in Romania in 1979 and was educated as an actor at the National University for Theatre and Film in Bucharest. Alongside taking roles in films by well-known Romanian filmmakers including Cristian Mungiu, Pârvu is a film and theatre director, and holds a doctorate degree in dramaturgy. He has won several prizes for his plays, and also received an award for his short film CHICKEN, FRIES AND COKE at the Anonimul International Film Festival in Romania. For his featurelength debut film, MEDA OR THE NOT SO BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS, he received the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Director in 2017. His latest feature, THREE KILOMETRES TO THE END OF THE WORLD, had its premiere in the Official Competition at this year’s Festival de Cannes.

Electricity

Nakon što mladić Gonga i njegov rođak Bart na otpadu staroga metala pronađu kofer pun zahrđalih križeva, Bart dolazi na ideju da ih pretvori u neonska raspela i prodaje ih od vrata do vrata naivnim stanovnicima Tbilisija. Njihov križarski put kroz gradska predgrađa prerasta u potragu za ljubavlju i prijateljstvom.

Tato Kotetishvili rođen je u Tbilisiju 1987. godine. Studirao je u Poljskoj nacionalnoj filmskoj školi u Lodzu. Tato trenutno živi u Tbilisiju i radi kao reditelj i direktor fotografije. Njegov kratki film OGASAVARA prikazan je na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu 2015. godine. SVETI ELEKTRICITET je njegov prvi dugometražni film, a premijerno je prikazan 2024. u programu Concorso Cineasti del Presente Filmskog festivala u Locarnu.

E When young Gonga and his cousin Bart find a suitcase full of rusty crosses in a scrapyard, Bart comes up with the idea of turning them into neon crucifixes and selling them door-to-door to the gullible inhabitants of Tbilisi. A crusade through the suburbs of the city becomes a quest for love and friendship.

Tato Kotetishvili was born in Tbilisi in 1987. He studied at the Polish National Film School in Łódź. Currently, he lives in Tbilisi and works as director and director of photography. His short film, OGASAVARA, was screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2015. HOLY ELECTRICITY, his debut feature-length film, had its premiere in the Concorso Cineasti del Presente section of the Locarno Film Festival.

Majka Mara / Mother Mara

Mara, uspješna poslovna žena i samohrana majka, skrhana je preranom smrću svoga sina Nemanje. Emotivno se otuđuje i odbija komunicirati sa porodicom i prijateljima. Nakon što upozna Milana, Nemanjinog bliskog prijatelja, u odnosu sa njim pronalazi utjehu i mir. Kako se njih dvoje zbližavaju otkrivaju sve više činjenica o Nemanjinom životu i smrti što Mari pruža priliku da se suoči sa vlastitim životom i emocijama.

Mirjana Karanović je srbijanska glumica poznata po brojnim značajnim filmskim ulogama koje je odigrala u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Debitovala je u filmu Srđana Karanovića PETRIJIN VENAC, a potom stekla međunarodnu slavu u ulozi majke u filmu Emira Kusturice OTAC NA SLUŽBENOM PUTU. Među njenim glumačkim uspjesima ističe se uloga Esme u filmu GRBAVICA Jasmile Žbanić koji je na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu nagrađen Zlatnim medvjedom. Karanović je debitovala kao rediteljica filmom DOBRA ŽENA, premijerno prikazanim na Filmskom festivalu Sundance 2016, a potom i na više od četrdeset drugih filmskih festivala. MAJKA MARA je drugi film koji potpisuje kao rediteljica.

E Mara, a successful businesswoman and single mother, is heartbroken after her son Nemanja’s untimely death. She becomes emotionally detached, refusing to communicate with friends or family. When she meets Milan, Nemanja’s close friend, however, she finds solace and comfort in their relationship. As they grow closer, they uncover more about Nemanja’s life and his passing, giving Mara an opportunity to face her life and emotions.

Pecanje u rijeci vremena / Fishing in the River of Time

Ovogodišnji izbor od jedanaest dugih i osam kratkih dokumentaraca u takmičarskom dijelu te dva filma van konkurencije, naglašavaju važnost (filmskog) vremena u stvaranju potencijalno uzbudljivog i nezaboravnog filma. Moglo bi se tvrditi da metoda rada, “pecanje u rijeci vremena“ (izraz posuđen od briljantne latvijske redateljice Laile Pakalnine), pokazuje kako se značenja, interpretacije i točke gledišta mijenjaju unutar protoka vremena. Korištenjem arhivskog materijala ili osmišljenih višegodišnjih opservacija. Ova metoda, u mnogim od autori pružaju jedinstvenu perspektivu protoka vremena i nude visceralno senzorno iskustvo.

Strastveni hrvatski dokumentarista Goran Dević jedan je od reditelja koji su postali majstori “pecanja u rijeci vremena“. U svome kontemplativnom, i prilično duhovitom filmu PAVILJON 6, za koji je BBC već otkupio prava, autor prati cijeli ansambl likova okupljenih na jednom mjestu, na jednom događaju. Dević je kreirao fantastičnu studiju ljudskog ponašanja , kako kao pojedinaca tako i kao društva.

Silvestar Kolbas, jedan od najodvažnijih autora iz naše regije, snimao je vlastitu porodicu više od dvadeset godina. Njegov emotivno eksplozivni film NAŠA DJECA testament je moćnom utjecaju protoka vremena na strukturu priče. S jedinstvenim stilom posmatranja vlastitog najintimnijeg kruga, autor pokreće značajna pitanja o roditeljstvu i porodičnoj dinamici. Na meta filmskom nivou, opservira dvije realnosti – onu koja se živi u stvarnosti i onu koja se živi u filmu i postavlja pitanje ko je zapravo stvaralac: samo reditelj ili su to i (filmski) likovi. Na sličan način, u filmu SLIKA ZA PAMĆENJE, talentovana ukrajinska debitantica Olga Chernykh posmatra tri generacije žena u svojoj porodici. Maštovito i razigrano sa puno tananog humora, autorica elegantno koristi svoj porodični arhiv. Film razotkriva mikrokosmos autoričine porodice, ali istovremeno i makrokosmos njene domovine. Ovaj neodoljivo lijep i značajan film otvorio je posljednje izdanje IDFA - Međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu.

U filmu Isabele Tent in Rumunije, protok vremena i zgusnuta drama koja se kroz godine nagomilava, srž je naracije filma ALICE ON & OFF. Život maloljetne studentice slikarstva i trideset pet godina starijeg čovjeka prati odrastanje njihovog dječaka te potpuno urušavanje onog sto je bio iole podnošljiv obiteljski život. Lesia Diak u svom prvijencu TATINA USPAVANKA. opservira vrlo čulno dinamiku obitelji u

koju se, nakon godina ratovanja na prvoj liniji fronte, vratio otac. U građenju priče, autorica vrlo promućurno pozicionira sebe kao okidača intimnih previranja u kojima se glavni junak bori sa osobnim demonima.

Još se jedan ukrajinski film fokusira na interpretaciju porodičnog arhiva. Otac u KOMADIĆI LEDA, vrhunski umjetnik - klizač na ledu, u vrijeme SSSR-a, putuje svijetom i bilježi sve amaterskom kamerom. Autorica Maria Stoianova tka priču svog života te storiju o bivšoj domovini kao i o gorkoj stvarnosti današnje Ukrajine, kako tim obiteljskim eksluzivnim arhivom, tako i vlastitim glasom.

Maja Prelog, debitantica iz Slovenije, također je godinama snimala vlastitu priču, fokusiranu na burne odnose i ozbiljne izazove u njenom životu. Dramski zaplet u filmu CENT’ANNI proistječe iz kompleksnog odnosa rediteljice i njenog momka, u kontekstu njihovog suočavanja sa smrću i višeslojnom prirodom njihovog (ljubavnog) života.

U briljantnom debitantskom filmu intrigantnog naslova KO ĆE POKUCATI NA VRATA MOG DOMA Maja Novaković, rediteljica rođena u Bosni i Hercegovini, opservira vanjski svijet kako bi istražila unutrašnji svijet i slojeve ljudske duše. Očaravajuća i samodostatna priroda reflektira bivstvovanje usamljenika do tačke kada postaju jedno. Ova vizuelno očaravajuća filmska poema osvojila je Grand Prix na Filmskom festivalu u Sheffieldu.

Austrijska rediteljica Brigitte Weich prije petnaest godina snimila je film o uspješnom ženskom fudbalskom timu u Sjevernoj Koreji. Taj film sada je postao referenca razmišljanja junakinja o sadašnjem životu u zemlji zatvorenih granica, političkih nesloboda, propagande. ...NED, TASSOT, YASSOT..., otvara i zanimljivo pitanje kontrole imidža u diktaturama i ideju feminizma u patrijarhalnom društvu. Dvije trećine dugometražnih filmova u našem takmičarskom programu režirale su žene, autorice odista briljiraju ove godine. Od njih osam, sedam ih se predstavlja sa prvim filmom Filmovi koji će otvoriti i zatvoriti naš ovogodišnji program istražuju svijet onih koji, na mnogo načina, ovise o drugima i o društvu u cjelini. Sa ponosom najavljujemo svjetsku premijeru filma mađarske rediteljice Anne Rubi TVOJ ŽIVOT BEZ MENE. Protagonistice, sve odreda snažne žene majke koje ne prihvataju ne kao odgovor, u potpunosti su se posvetile brizi o svojoj odrasloj djeci sa posebnim potrebama i bore se da im osiguraju državnu njegu nakon svoje smrti.

Grčki film LOXY reditelja Dimitrisa Zahosa i Tha-

Rada Šešić

nasisa Kafetzisa donosi na suptilan način svijet strastvene mlade glumice, prve osobe rođene s Downovim sindromom koja je potpisala profesionalni ugovor sa prestižnim Narodnim pozorištem u Atini.

Osam kratkih filmova uvrštenih u naš program pravi su dragulji. Reditelji vješto balansiraju između različitih filmskih tekstura od animacije i arhivskog materijala, esejističkih meditacija do dokumentarističkog cinéma vérité stila, te maestralnih vizualnih bravura uz znalačko korištenje svjetla i sjene.

Ove godine imamo i dva filma izvan konkurencije. Oba su posvećena izvanrednim umjetnicima: glumcu BEKIMU FEHMIU u dokumentarnom filmu koji nosi njegovo ime, a režirao ga je albanski reditelj Valmar Tertini, te muzičaru i pjesniku Zoranu Predinu u filmu PRASLOVAN, reditelja rođenog u Sarajevu, sa adresom stanovanja u Sloveniji, Slobodana Maksimovića.

Čestitke svim autorima i puno sreće sa vašim izuzetnim ostvarenjima.

E This year’s selection of eleven feature-length and eight short documentaries is a unique exploration of the role of time in crafting a compelling film. Each film offers a distinct narrative that inspires and stimulates the viewer’s intellect with its impactful and thought-provoking story. We are proud to highlight the exceptional talent of female directors, who have excelled and made up two-thirds of the feature-length competition programme. Their unique perspective and storytelling skills have added a diverse and enriching dimension to this year’s selection. The working method of ‘fishing in the river of time’, borrowed from the brilliant Latvian director Laila Pakalnina, offers a unique and intriguing perspective on how meaning and point of view in a documentary evolve within the flow of time. This method, apparent in many of the selected films, highlights the art of using the passage of time through archival footage or meticulous observation in storytelling to provide audiences with a visceral, sensory experience.

One director who has mastered this method is the passionate Croatian documentarian Goran Dević. In his contemplative, somewhat humorous PAVILION 6, which the BBC has already acquired, the director’s gaze observes an ensemble of personages staying in one space at

just one event. Dević accomplishes a magnificent study of human nature in the individual and in society.

Silvestar Kolbas, one of our region’s boldest directors, filmed his family for over twenty years. His diary drama OUR CHILDREN raises essential questions about parenthood and family dynamics. The film’s meta-level observes two realities—the one in real life and film life. The film makes us think about who the actual creator is: solely the director or all the (film) participants. Similarly, in A PICTURE TO REMEMBER, talented first-time Ukrainian filmmaker Olga Chernykh observes three generations of women in her family. With lots of imagination, playfulness, and humour, the author positions her family archive elegantly. The film unveils the microcosm of a family, but at the same time, we read the macrocosm of the director’s country. This compelling film opened the latest edition of the prestigious International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.

With great pride, we present seven debut films by female directors. For ALICE OFF & ON, Romanian Isabela Tent filmed ten years of the turbulent relationship between a young art student, her husband who is thirty-five years her senior, and their child. Over time, we witness the crash of what appears to have had the potential of being a family. Interestingly, the director becomes an invisible anchor for the participants. The director’s involvement is even more evident in the Ukrainian DAD’S LULLABY.

The debut by Lesia Diak shows the emotional journey of a family whose father returns home after years of fighting on the front line. The director’s presence becomes a crucial narrative device that assists the protagonist’s confrontation with his demons.

Another Ukrainian film, FRAGMENTS OF ICE, is entirely sourced from the director’s memories and family’s marvellous home video archive. The father, a top-notch figure skater, travels worldwide as a Soviet Ukrainian artist and captures life with his small camera. Here, his daughter Maria Stoianova weaves her life story many years later. This highly emotional and somewhat political film is accomplished with great wit and charm.

First-time Slovenian director Maja Prelog also filmed her personal life story for years, focusing on stormy relationships and serious challenges. The drama in CENT’ANNI arises in the director’s and her boyfriend’s confrontation with death and the complexity of (love) life.

With its intriguing title, AT THE DOOR OF THE

HOUSE WHO WILL COME KNOCKING, a majestic debut by Bosnian-born Maja Novakovic, gazes at the outer world to explore the layers of the human soul. Mesmerising nature mirrors a lonely old man; they become the same entity. This cinema poem with stunning visuals received the Grand Prix at Sheffield DocFest.

Austrian director Brigitte Weich made a film about a successful women’s football team in North Korea fifteen years ago. Now, in the new film … NED, TASSOT, YOSSOT … Weich uses her previous documentary as a sounding board for her protagonists, now middle-aged women, who reflect on their own lives, image control under dictatorship, and femininity in a patriarchal society.

The competition’s opening and closing films deal with the world of those who, in many ways, depend on others and society. We proudly present the world premiere of Anna Rubi’s YOUR LIFE WITHOUT ME, a compelling, issues-driven Hungarian film with courageous protagonists— mothers who don’t take no for an answer.

Devoting their lives entirely to caring for their handicapped adult children, these women fight to ensure organised state care for their kids after they are gone. The Greek film LOXY, directed by Dimitris Zahos and Thanasis Kafetzis, unfolds the world of a passionate young actor who is the first woman with Down syndrome to sign a professional contract with the prestigious National Theatre of Greece in Athens. Both films are with remarkable closeness and respectful distance.

The eight short documentaries in the programme are real gems. Their directors move freely from one genre to another, from archive to animation, essayistic meditation to documentary texture, and from exploring home video to narrating solely with light and shadow.

This year, two films in the selection are presented out of competition. Both highlight remarkable artists: the late, internationally acclaimed actor Bekim Fehmiu in an Albanian documentary named for him, directed by Valmar Tertini; and musician Zoran Predin in PRASLOVAN by Sarajevo-born, Slovenia-based director Slobodan Maksimović.

Kudos to all of you and good luck with your remarkable films!

Afto pou zitame apo ena agalma ine na min kinite / Ono što zahtjevamo od kipa je da se ne pomjera / What We Ask of a Statue Is That It Doesn’t Move

U Atini se naizgled ništa ne pomjera, a ljudi stoje mirno kao statue. Ali drugdje u gradu, karijatida bježi iz muzeja, a mala grupa pobunjenika zahtijeva uništenje svih antikviteta. Možda možete izbjeći da se pretvorite u kamen samo tako što ćete sve snimati.

Daphné Hérétakis je studirala na Univerzitetu Paris 8, gdje je magistrirala dokumentarni film, te na Državnom studiju za savremenu umjetnost Le Fresnoy. Njeni filmovi nastaju na tankoj granici između dokumentarnog i igranog žanra, spajaju intimno s kolektivnim, te su prikazani na brojnim festivalima, uključujući Međunarodni filmski festival u Rotterdamu, te festivale Hors Piste Pompidou, Visions du Reel itd. Njen najnoviji film ONO ŠTO ZAHTJEVAMO OD KIPA JE DA SE NE POMJERA premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Sedmica kritike festivala u Cannesu.

E Nothing seems to be moving in Athens and the people are as still as statues. But, elsewhere in the city, a caryatid escapes the museum and a groupuscule demands the destruction of all antiquities. Perhaps filming is the only way to avoid turning into stone.

Daphné Hérétakis studied at Paris 8 University, where she graduated with a master’s degree in documentary filmmaking, and at Le Fresnoy Studio National des Arts Contemporains. Her films tread a fine line between documentary and fiction, blending intimacy and the collective, and have been presented by many festivals, among them the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Hors Piste Pompidou, and Visions du Réel. Her most recent film, WHAT WE ASK OF A STATUE IS THAT IT DOESN’T MOVE, had its premiere in competition in the Semaine de la Critique at the Festival de Cannes in 2024.

Alice On & Off

Film ALICE ON & OFF – sniman tokom deset godina – usredsređuje se na šesnaestogodišnju Alice, majku dječaka Arista, začetog iz ljubavi s pedesetogodišnjim Dorianom uprkos nevjerovatnoj dobnoj razlici među njima. Njihovi putevi se razdvajaju, a Alice biva prisiljena napustiti i njega i Arista. Obuzeta strahom i osjećajem izolovanosti, Alice utjehu pronalazi u slikanju, uz videokameru kao njenog svjedoka. U tom procesu ne pronalazi samo olakšanje već i ponovo otkriva ljubav. Prateći obrazac koji su ustanovili njeni roditelji, Alice se tokom godina sporadično pojavljuje u Aristovom životu.

Isabela Tent je studirala filmsku režiju i novinarstvo prije nego što se profesionalno počela baviti filmom. Inicijalno je radila kao asistentica režije i u tom kapacitetu je sarađivala je s nekim od najvećih imena savremene rumunske kinematografije uključujući Radu Judea, Mariana Crisana, Igora Coblieanskog i Paula Negoescua. Njen prvi kratki dokumentarni film RAZGOVOR SA ALICE osvojio je Gopo nagradu i prikazan je na nekoliko filmskih festivala. ALICE ON & OFF je njen prvi dugometražni film.

E Shot over the course of ten years, ALICE ON & OFF revolves around sixteen-year-old Alice, who becomes a mother to Aristo, a child conceived out of her deep affection for Dorian despite their remarkable thirty-five-year age difference. Trajectories quickly separate, however, compelling Alice to make the heart-rending choice of parting ways with both Dorian and Aristo. Confronted with feelings of fear and isolation, Alice seeks refuge and solace by expressing herself through painting, with a video camera as her witness. In this process, she not only finds comfort but also rediscovers love. Mirroring the actions of her own parents, Alice sporadically appears in Aristo’s life throughout the years.

Isabela Tent studied film directing and journalism before embarking on her professional journey in the realm of cinema, initially serving as an assistant director. She has worked alongside some of the important names of contemporary Romanian cinema, including Radu Jude, Marian Crisan, Igor Coblieanski, and Paul Negoescu. Her first short documentary, CHAT WITH ALICE, received a Gopo Award and was selected for several film festivals. ALICE ON & OFF is Tent’s first feature-length film.

Az életed nélkülem / Tvoj život bez mene / Your Life without Me

Kako stari, šezdesetpetogodišnja Magdi, odlučna, ali usamljena njegovateljica, suočava se s okrutnom istinom: ukoliko bi ona umrla, njen tridesetdevetogodišnji sin Feri, osoba s posebnim potrebama i nesposoban da se brine sam o sebi, bit će izložen užasima mađarskih domova za socijalno ugrožena lica i ubrzo će je pratiti u smrt. Magdi se povezuje sa grupom žena u situaciji sličnoj njenoj i one zajedno podnose tužbu protiv države. TVOJ ŽIVOT BEZ MENE priča je o snazi i žrtvi tih žena koje su pronašle vlastiti glas kao dio svoje zajednice.

Anna Rubi je rođena 1988. godine u Mađarskoj. Nakon što je izgradila karijeru kao profesionalna moderna plesačica, studirala je medijski dizajn na Univerzitetu za umjetnost i dizajn Moholy-Nagy u Budimpešti, te je diplomirala multidisciplinarne studije na Univerzitetu za umjetnost u Zürichu. Rubi je radila kao videonovinarka za Mađarsku uniju za građanska prava te je u bliskoj saradnji sa zajednicama osoba s posebnim potrebama i aktivistima realizovala više dokumentarnih filmova i kampanja. TVOJ ŽIVOT BEZ MENE njen je prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film.

E Magdi, a strong-willed, but lonely caregiver faces a daunting reality as she grows older: If she were to pass away, her disabled adult son, Feri would be left to the inhumane conditions of the Hungarian state care system, and would quickly follow her. Determined to secure a future for Feri, Magdi unites with a group of mothers who are in the same situation and they take legal action against the state. YOUR LIFE WITHOUT ME is a story of the strength and sacrifices of these women who find their own voice through the common fight and their community.

Anna Rubi was born in 1988 in Hungary. After building a career as a professional contemporary dancer, she studied media design at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest and graduated from the Zürich University of the Arts in trans-disciplinary studies. Rubi was the video journalist of the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union, when she worked extensively with disabled communities and activists on short documentaries and campaigns. YOUR LIFE WITHOUT ME is her debut feature-length documentary.

Bol / Pain

Nakon uspostavljene dijagnoze Parkinsonove bolesti i prvobitnog straha od razvoja simptoma, Faktor je odlučio vizualizirati vlastitu bolest snimajući kamerom mobitela sebe, suprugu, dvorište, ulicu, atelje, a prije svega svjetlosne atrakcije u stanu i ateljeu. I nakon pedeset godina snimanja filmova, njegova strast za stvaranjem i životom je još uvijek tu. Faktor snima svakodnevicu, ali dnevničku strukturu narušava intervencijama u stvarnost koristeći svjetlosne atrakcije ili optičke prepreke poput vlastitih drhtavih prstiju. Intervencijama u dokumentarne situacije stvara potpuno iznenađujući unutarnji svijet umjetnika zatočenog u prostoru.

Ivan Faktor bio je hrvatski umjetnik rođen 1953. u Crncu. Bavio se eksperimentalnim filmom, fotografijom, videom i videoinstalacijama. Filmove je snimao kontinuirano od 1975. godine. Od 1979. učestvovao u konceptualističkim akcijama i izložbama, izvodio performanse s videom i filmom, postavljao instalacije, radio multimedijalne izvedbe. Učestvovao je 1995. na 46. Bijenalu u Veneciji (A Casa/At Home 2), a 2002. bio je predstavnik Hrvatske na 25. Bijenalu u Sao Paulu. Dobio je brojne nagrade za svoj doprinos u likovnoj i filmskoj umjetnosti.

E Ivan Faktor decided to visualise his state of living with Parkinson’s disease with a mobile phone camera. After 50 years of making films, his passion for art and life persists. He films himself, his wife, the yard, the street, the studio, and the light that plays in his house. Faktor records everyday life but disrupts the routine structure by intervening, using light or optical obstacles like his trembling fingers. Through these interventions into documentary situations, he creates a surprising inner world of an artist imprisoned in space.

Ivan Faktor was a Croatian avant-garde artist. He was engaged in works of experimental film, photography, video, and video installation. He shot film and video work continuously since 1975; in 1979, he began participating in conceptualist actions and exhibitions and performances with video and film, and creating installations. In 1995, he participated in the 46th Venice Biennale (A Casa/At Home 2), and in 2002 represented Croatia at the 25th Biennial in São Paulo. He was the recipient of numerous awards for his visual art and his films.

Cent’anni

Nakon što je preživio smrtonosnu bolest, Blaž je odlučio proslaviti tako što će voziti iscrpljujuću biciklističku trku Giro d’Italia. Njegovoj partnerici, filmskoj autorici Maji Dorotej Prelog, pripao je zadatak da ovjekovječi taj biciklistički trijumf. Inicijalno planirana vožnja od Dolomita do Sicilije, čiji je cilj bio da ovaj par ponovo preuzme kontrolu nad vlastitim životom i proslavi činjenicu da su prevladali svoj najveći strah, ubrzo prerasta u put ka samospoznaji. Fokus priče je pomjeren i kontrolu nad objektivom kamere preuzela su Majina iskustva i potrebe. Dok kamera pravi zaokret ka unutra, veza ovog para se urušava razotkrivajući njihovo hrabro samopropitivanje i shvatanje o tome šta zaista znači biti u vezi. Film CENT’ANNI emotivni je ringišpil s obiljem srceparajućih svjedočanstava i poetičnih prizora prirode – nerafinirano svjedočanstvo o ljubavi i promjeni.

Maja Doroteja Prelog je rediteljica i scenaristica rođena u Ljubljani 1988. godine. Suosnivačica je multimedijalnog kolektiva za film, arhitekturu i umjetnost RÁ. U sklopu kolektiva režirala je muzičke spotove za međunarodno priznatu avangardnu muzičku grupu Laibach. CENT’ANNI je njen debitantski dugometražni dokumentarac.

E After surviving a terminal illness diagnosis, Blaž sets off on a gruelling celebratory Giro d’Italia. Tasked with capturing the triumphant biking tour is his partner, filmmaker Maja Doroteja Prelog,. What was initially planned as a ride from the Dolomites to Sicily to reclaim control of life and celebrate overcoming the greatest of fears soon becomes a journey of self-discovery for the couple. Things shift so that Maja’s experience and needs hold the focus of lens. While the camera turns inward, the relationship unravels, revealing a brave examination of self and what it truly means to be together. CENT’ANNI is an unfiltered testament to love and change; an emotional rollercoaster with heart-rending confessions and poetic visuals in the midst of beautiful natural scenery

Maja Doroteja Prelog is director and screenwriter, born in Ljubljana in 1988. She is a co-founder of the Cross-Media Collective RÁ, focusing on cinema, architecture, and other artistic practices. Her work within RÁ includes directing music videos for the internationally acclaimed avant-garde music group Laibach. CENT’ANNI is her debut feature-length documentary.

Foto na pam’yat / Slika za pamćenje / A Picture to Remember

SLIKA ZA PAMĆENJE esejistički je prikaz dugog putovanja kroz rat jedne porodice. Film dokumentuje potragu za prevazilaženjem užasnih, uzastopnih gubitaka triju generacija ukrajinskih žena – rediteljice, njene majke i njene bake. Film predstavlja dirljivo istraživanje identiteta, kulturnog nasljeđa i moći pripovijedanja priča u povezivanju ljudi u teškim vremenima.

Olga Chernykh je rođena u Donjecku u Ukrajini 1990. godine. Diplomirala je 2017. na Odsjeku za film Državnog univerziteta I.K.

Nakon što je magistrirala dokumentarni film, učestvovala je u više međunarodnih radionica i rezidencijalnih programa poput IDFA Akademije, Aristotelove radionice u Rumuniji, Cinemaaabulent programa u Italiji, Eurasiadoc programa u Kijevu, B2B Docs programa itd. Na Međunarodnom takmičenju za mlade reditelje Papaya u Poljskoj osvojila je Specijalnu nagradu za kratki video EXPRESS YOUR TASTE. S istim videom osvojila je i nagradu za kinematografiju na Kinooko festivalu u Kijevu. Njen dugometražni dokumentarni film SLIKA ZA PAMĆENJE premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu (IDFA).

E A PICTURE TO REMEMBER is an essayistic account of a family’s lengthy journey through wartime. It chronicles their search for a way to handle the terrible and recurring losses experienced by three generations of Ukrainian women – those of the director, her mother, and her grandmother. A moving exploration of identity, heritage, and the power of storytelling to connect us in times of upheaval.

Olga Chernykh was born in Donetsk, Ukraine, in 1990. In 2017, she graduated with an MA from the Cinematography Department of the Kyiv National I.K. Karpenko-Karyi University and worked as a director of photography on various Ukrainian and international narrative and documentary projects.

Frahmenty liodu / Komadići leda / Fragments of Ice

Film KOMADIĆI LEDA pruža uvid u lične, političke i društvene promjene u Ukrajini, a sačinjen je od materijala sa petnaest VHS kaseta koje je rediteljičin otac, inače šampion u umjetničkom klizanju, snimio u formi videodnevnika tokom inostranih turneja s ansamblom Ukrajinskog baleta na ledu i u svome domu u periodu od 1986. do 1994. godine. Dok u filmu pratimo odrastanje rediteljice Marije Stojanove, pratimo i uporedni kolaps Sovjetskog Saveza, obnavljanje samostalnosti Ukrajine i njen prelazak na tržišnu ekonomiju. Glamurozni snimci Zapada, zabilježeni na turnejama u inostranstvu, u oštrom su kontrastu sa snimcima zidova koji se gule, plafona koji se urušavaju i bubašvaba zabilježenim kod kuće. Film obuhvata i širi historijski kontekst i njegov utjecaj na živote stvarnih ljudi, a okončava se novim prevratom – ruskom invazijom na Ukrajinu 2022. godine.

Maria Stoianova je ukrajinska rediteljica i montažerka dokumentarnih filmova. Na Akademiji KijevMohila diplomirala je kulturalne studije dok je na Centralnoevropskom univerzitetu stekla diplomu iz sociologije i socijalne antropologije. Studijski program filma Sergej Bukovski završila je 2018. godine. U filmovima se služi videosnimcima iz svakodnevnog života, javnim i privatnim videoarhivima. Njeni filmovi prikazani su na međunarodnim festivalima dokumentarnog filma uključujući festivale Ji.hlava, DOK Leipzig i FIDMarseille. KOMADIĆI LEDA njen je prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film, a premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programui film festivala Visions du Réel.

E Personal, political, and social developments unfold in FRAGMENTS OF ICE, which is edited together from fifteen VHS tapes covering the period 1986 to 1994: video diaries shot by the director’s father, a champion figure-skater, on his foreign tours with the Ukrainian Ensemble Ballet on Ice, and in his own home. As we follow director Maria Stoianova growing up, we witness the collapse of the Soviet Union in parallel with Ukraine’s journey towards regaining independence and its transition to a market economy. Expectations reflected in the glamorous footage of the West contrast starkly with home-video footage of peeling walls, collapsed ceilings, and cockroaches at the family flat. The film captures the broad sweep of history as well as its impact on the lives of real people, ending with a new upheaval—the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Maria Stoianova is a Ukrainian documentary film director and editor. She graduated from the KyivMohyla Academy with a degree in cultural studies and the Central European University with a degree in sociology and social anthropology. In 2018, she finished her studies at the Sergey Bukovsky Film Programme. In creating her films, Maria Stoianova actively works with vernacular videos and public and private archives. Her films have been screened at international film festivals, including the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival, DOK Leipzig, FIDMarseille, and many others. FRAGMENTS OF ICE, her feature-length documentary debut, had its premiere in competiiton at Visions du Réel.

Galeb / The Seagull

Ovaj dokumentarni esej prikazuje posljednji pokušaj rekonstrukcije Galeba, broda predsjednika Tita kojim se koristio od 1950-ih do svoje smrti 1980. Galeb je odigrao presudnu ulogu u promovisanju pokreta nesvrstanih i ideje mira između istočnog i zapadnog bloka za vrijeme hladnog rata. Film pruža uvid u jedinstvenu svakodnevnicu mornarskog života kroz svjedočanstvo oficira s njegovog posljednjeg putovanja. Dok pratimo prizore izvođenja radova na brodu, u blizini brodogradilišta lokalno stanovništvo završava karnevalski obred simboličnim spaljivanjem mesopusta, lutka čije spaljivanje simbolizuje kraj zime i uništenje zla za koje vjeruju da je oblikovalo njihovu prošlost.

David Lušičić je rođen 1976. godine u Rijeci. Radi kao nezavisni reditelj, producent, predavač i voditelj interdisciplinarnih kulturnih projekata. Završio je magistarski studij za TV i filmsku režiju na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu, scenografiju na Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design u Londonu te arhitekturu na Arhitektonskom fakultetu u Ljubljani. Nakon završetka svog prvog samostalnog filmskog projekta, dugometražnog omnibusa TRANSMANIA, koji je premijerno prikazan na Sarajevo Film Festivalu 2016, pokreće produkciju Zebra i umjetničku organizaciju Greta Creative Network. Lušičićev posljednji kratki dokumentarac BEZ LICA premijerno je prikazan na Sarajevo Film Festivalu 2020. godine te nagrađen prvom nagradom na Reviji hrvatskog filmskog stvaralaštva te proglašen najboljim regionalnim filmom na Liburnia Film Festivalu.

E THE SEAGULL chronicles the final attempt at a reconstruction of the Galeb, Yugoslav President Tito’s yacht, which was used from the 1950s until his death in 1980, followed by the breakdown of Yugoslavia. The vessel played a crucial role in keeping the peace between the Eastern and Western blocs, and in promoting the Non-Aligned Movement. The film provides insight into the unique life of a sailor through the testimony of an officer involved in the Galeb’s final voyage. While the yacht is being reconstructed near the shipyard, the local population concludes a carnival-like ritual by symbolically burning an effigy. This symbolises the end of winter and aims to dispel the perceived evils believed to have shaped their past.

David Lušičić was born in 1976 in Rijeka, Croatia. He works as an independent filmmaker, lecturer, and interdisciplinary culture project manager. He completed his MA studies in TV and film directing at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. He holds a master’s degree in scenography from Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design in London, and an MA in architecture from the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana. After finishing his first independent film project, part of the featurelength omnibus film TRANSMANIA, which had its premiere at the Sarajevo Film Festival in 2016, he launched the production company Zebra Production and the art organisation Greta Creative Network. FACELESS, his most recent short documentary, premiered at Sarajevo in 2020 and won first prize at the Revenue of Croatian Filmmaking, and was named Best Regional Film at the Liburnia Film Festival.

Ko će pokucati na vrata mog doma / At the Door of the House Who Will Come Knocking

Emin živi u srcu Bosne i Hercegovine, u kući na rubu jednog sela nedaleko od Srebrenice. Pozne godine života provodi u društvu svoga vjernog konja. Eminova monotona svakodnevnica krije njegove duboke rane. Emin se probija kroz snjegove i snažne vjetrove, provodi sate radeći na hladnoći i prihvatajući okrutnost prirode, pronalazeći malo utjehe kraj svoje tople peći. Olakšanje i predah u tugovanju pronalazi u kratkim razgovorima.

Maja Novaković je rođena u Srebrenici 1987. godine. Trenutno završava doktorat o poetici nasljeđa Sergeja Paradžanova. Prethodno je učestvovala u programima Sarajevo Talents i IDFAcadmy. Njen debitantski film A SAD SE SPUŠTA VEČE premijerno je prikazan na festivalu Visions du Reel 2019. te je osigurao nominaciju za Oskara nakon što je proglašen najboljim kratkim filmom na Festivalu dokumentarnog filma Full Frame. Film je prikazan na više od 130 festivala i osvojio je više od 50 nagrada te je nominovan za nagradu Cinema Eye Honors i uvršten u Short List program Festivala dokumentarnog filma Doc NYC. Njen dugometražni dokumentarac KO ĆE POKUCATI NA VRATA MOG DOMA 2024. godine je premijerno prikazan na Festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Sheffieldu gdje je osvojio Veliku nagradu žirija u međunarodnoj takmičarskoj konkurenciji.

E In the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in a house at the edge of a village near Srebrenica, lives Emin. In his twilight years, he toils alongside his faithful horse. The monotonous rhythm of Emin’s daily life hides a deep wound. He breaks through the snow and strong wind or works for long hours in the bitter cold, embracing the harshness of nature and finding little solace in the warmth of his stove. He seeks relief and a brief respite from his grief in fleeting conversations.

Maja Novaković was born in Srebrenica in 1987. She is a PhD candidate, studying Sergei Parajanov’s poetics of heritage. She is a Sarajevo Talents and IDFAcademy alumna. Her debut film, THEN COMES THE EVENING, had its premiere at Visions du Reel in 2019 and secured Academy Award qualification by winning an award at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. It received more than fifty awards, was screened at more than 130 festivals, was selected for the Doc NYC Short List, and received a Cinema Eye Honors nomination. Her feature-length documentary AT THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE WHO WILL COME KNOCKING premiered at Sheffield DocFest in 2024, where it won the Grand Jury Award in the International Competition.

Loxy

Loxandra, mlada žena rođena sa Downovim sindromom, postala je prva osoba s posebnim potrebama koja je potpisala glumački ugovor sa Narodnim pozorištem u Atini. Loxandra napušta svoj grad i svakodnevnicu kako bi otišla u prijestolnicu i pridružila se profesionalnom glumačkom ansamblu. Narednih šest mjeseci Loxy odlazi na probe, sklapa prijateljstva, zaljubljuje se, zabavlja, biva frustrirana i uporno zahtijeva pristup različitim oblastima života rušeći jedan po jedan stereotip.

Naša djeca / Our Children

Silvestar je već neko vrijeme najstariji Kolbas u svojoj obitelji. Šezdeset i osam mu je godina. Drugi je put oženjen. Ima troje djece: najstarijeg Jakova iz prvog braka, Evu iz drugog braka, rođenu postupkom umjetne oplodnje, kao i Antu, usvojenog iz dječijeg doma u dobi od osam godina. Kako djeca utječu na njegove osjećaje i stavove te međusobni odnos njega i supruge? Kako on utječe ili je do sada utjecao na svako svoje dijete? Kakav odnos ima s kojim djetetom i daje li im svima jednako ljubavi? Mijenjaju li ga djeca? Čini li to svako od njih na drugačiji način? Kako djeca vide njega i suprugu, a kako vide njihov odnos prema sebi?

Silvestar Kolbas je filmski snimatelj, fotograf i reditelj. Diplomirao je filmsko i televizijsko snimanje na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu, na kojoj je danas redovni profesor. Za svoje debitantsko snimateljsko ostvarenje, igrani film DIPLOMA ZA SMRT u režiji Živorada Tomića, nagrađen je na Festivalu filmske kamere u Bitoli 1989. godine. Na početku profesionalne karijere radio je kao slobodni fotograf i snimatelj, a potom se zapošljava na Hrvatskoj radioteleviziji. Kao reditelj je debitovao 2003. godine zapaženim autobiografskim dokumentarnim filmom SVE O EVI. Za svoj srednjometražni dokumentarac RATNI REPORTER Kolbas je dobio godišnju Nagradu Vladimir Nazor za filmsku umjetnost za 2011. godinu.

E At sixty-eight, Silvestar has been the oldest Kolbas in his family for some time. He is married for the second time. He has three children: the eldest, Jakov, from his first marriage; Eva, from his second marriage, born through artificial insemination; and Ante, adopted from a children’s home at the age of eight. How do his children affect Kolbas’s feelings and attitudes and his relationship with his wife? How does he influence—and how has he influenced—each of his children? What kind of relationship does he have with each child? Does he give each of them an equal amount of love? Do his children change him? Do they each change him in a different way? How do the children see him and his wife? How do they see their relationships to themselves?

Silvestar Kolbas is a photographer, cinematographer, and director. He graduated after studies in film and TV camera from the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, where he is now a full-time professor. His debut cinematographic work on Živorad Tomić’s feature film DIPLOMA FOR DEATH won Kolbas an award at the Manaki Brothers Film Festival in Bitola in 1989. Early in his professional career, he worked as a freelance photographer and cinematographer before starting to work for Croatian Television. He had his directorial debut in 2003, with his acclaimed autobiographical film ALL ABOUT EVA. His medium-length documentary WAR REPORTER won the Vadimir Nazor Award for Film in 2011.

... ned, tassot, yossot ...

Pet godina nakon filma HANA, DUL, SED... (2009), filmska autorica Brigitte Weich vraća se u Sjevernu Koreju kako bi četiri članice državne fudbalske reprezentacije pitala o promjenama u njihovim životima. Kroz prijateljsku i dobronamjernu saradnju sa protagonisticima filma, autorica stvara djelo koje ne donosi samo priču o životu konkretnih profesionanih sportistkinja u Sjevernoj Koreji, već propituje i slike koje ljudi kreiraju sami o sebi kako bi vlastiti život i svijet u kojem žive učinili smislenim.

Brigitte Weich radila je kao menadžerica u kulturi sve dok u kasnim tridesetim godinama života nije upisala kurs političkog feminizma. Taj kurs postao je prelomna tačka u njenom životu jer ju je rad na završnoj tezi za kurs o “čežnji za adekvatnim TV-imidžom” naveo da snimi svoj prvi film HANA, DUL, SED..., o sjevernokorejskim fudbalerkama koji je odmah ostvario uspjeh. Film premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu 2009, proglašen je najboljim austrijskim dokumentarnim filmom za 2010, te je prikazan u kinima u Austriji i Njemačkoj 2011. godine. Weich je 2012. počela raditi na nastavku filma ...NED, TASSOT, YOSSOT... Njena borba da prikupi novac za film i osigura prava za korištenje fudbalskog arhiva trajala je deset godina, a film je međunarodnu premijeru imao 2023. godine na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu (IDFA).

E About five years after the release of her film HANA, DUL, SED …, filmmaker Brigitte Weich returns to North Korea to ask four women on the national football team how their lives have evolved. In a friendly and congenial co-operation between the filmmaker and the participants, a work arises that not only tells about the daily life of a professional athlete in North Korea but also asks questions about the images we make of ourselves to give meaning to our lives and the world.

Brigitte Weich worked as a cultural manager until, in her late thirties, she enrolled in a course in political feminism, which turned out to be a life-changer when her thesis, “On the Longing for an Appropriate TV Image,” led to her first film, HANA, DUL, SED …, which is about North Korea’s female footballers and saw instant success. It had its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival in 2009, was named Best Austrian Documentary in 2010, and saw theatrical release in Austria and Germany in 2011. Weich began work on the sequel, … NED, TASSOT, YOSSOT …, in 2012. Fights for funding and football archive rights lasted ten years before the film saw its international premiere at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam in 2023.

Paviljon 6 / Pavilion 6

Dugo očekivano COVID-19 cjepivo donosi tračak nade. Kroz iskrene razgovore s ljudima koji čekaju u redu za cijepljenje, ovaj film otkriva dezorijentaciju i skepticizam koji je obilježio naše zajedničko iskustvo pandemije. Služeći kao kolektivna terapija za postkovid eru, ova humoristična i ljudska slika jedinstvenog trenutka u vremenu otkriva niti koje nas povezuju i podsjeća na našu ljudskost usred neviđenih izazova.

Goran Dević je rođen 1971. godine u Sisku. Studirao je pravo i arheologiju.

E The long-awaited COVID-19 vaccine brings a glimmer of hope. Through candid conversations with people waiting in line for vaccination, this globally relatable film reveals the disorientation and skepticism that permeate the collective experience. Serving as collective therapy for the post-COVID era, this humorous and humane snapshot of a unique moment in time uncovers the threads of resilience and connection that bind us, reminding us of our common humanity in the face of unprecedented challenges.

Goran Dević was born in Sisak, Croatia, in 1971.

Re:visiting Jasenovac / Povratak u Jasenovac

Meditativan kratki dokumentarac, snimljen na mjestu jednog od najvećih zločina počinjenih u Jugoslaviji tokom Drugog svjetskog rata, pokušava dati odgovore na komplikovana pitanja o prirodi sjećanja, svjedočenja, ali i zaborava. Prikazujući trenutni izgled nekadašnjeg koncentracijskog logora Jasenovac u potresnom crno-bijelom formatu, film postavlja pitanje šta zapravo znači “nikada ne zaboraviti” i kako ta fraza nastavlja da rezonira do današnjih dana.

Admir Rahmanović je rođen u Zenici u Bosni i Hercegovini. Preselio se u Švedsku 2008. godine. POVRATAK U JASENOVAC njegov je debitantski film.

E This meditative short documentary returns to the site of one of the worst atrocities that took place in Yugoslavia during World War II in order to probe complicated questions about the nature of remembering, bearing witness, and forgetting. While depicting the contemporary landscape of the grounds of the former concentration camp in Jasenovac in haunting black-and-white photography, the film asks what it means to “never forget” and how these words continue to resonate today.

Admir Rahmanović was born in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He moved to Sweden in 2008. RE:VISITING JASENOVAC is his debut film.

Si E Verdhë E Sëmur / Kao bolesno žuta /

Like a Sick Yellow

Plašila se loše sreće. Običavali su joj reći: “Ne opterećuj mozak, ne puni si glavu lošim mislima, ako nešto treba da se desi, desit će se. To je pitanje sreće.” Nora je bila sretna. Plašila se da će se dogoditi nešto što će to promijeniti.

Norika Sefa je filmska autorica s Kosova. Magistrirala je na FAMU u Pragu. Najpoznatija je po svome debitantskom dugometražnom filmu iz 2021. godine U POTRAZI ZA VENEROM. Film je nominovan za brojne prestižne nagrade i bio je kosovski kandidat za Oskara. Njen najnoviji kratki dokumentarac KAO BOLESNO ŽUTA premijerno je prikazan 2024. godine u takmičarskoj konkurenciji za kratki film Tigar Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Rotterdamu. Članica je Evropske filmske akademije.

E She was afraid of bad luck. They used to tell her, “Let your mind be peaceful; don’t put bad thoughts in your head; if it’s meant to be, it will be. That’s luck.” Nora was happy. She was afraid something might happen to change this.

Norika Sefa is a filmmaker from Kosovo. She holds a master’s degree from the FAMU film school in Prague. She is best known for her 2021 debut feature-length film, LOOKING FOR VENERA, which was nominated for many prestigious awards, and was Kosovo’s submission to the Academy Awards.

Dad’s Lullaby

Neviđena šteta koju je rat načinio privatnim odnosima baca sjenku na povratak Serhija, veterana opterećenog gubitkom. Osjeća se sve izolovanijim dok se bori da ponovo uspostavi blizak odnos sa suprugom Nadijom i njihova tri sina, Sašom, Artemom i Nikitom. U filmu dolazi do neočekivanog obrata kada Serhij usmjeri kameru ka rediteljici. Ova zamjena uloga otvara prostor za osjetljivi razgovor o ljubavi i međuljudskim odnosima i navodi rediteljicu da progovori o vlastitom iskustvu prekida veze s jednim veteranom rata.

Lesia Diak je ukrajinska rediteljica i producentica koja živi i radi na relaciji između Lisabona i Kijeva. Nakon što je stekla profesionalno iskustvo u sektoru komunikacija, Diak je 2022. završila međunarodni magistarski studij režije dokumentarnog filma DocNomads. Njeni kratki filmovi, prikazani na više međunarodnih filmskih festivala, istražuju iskrene međuljudske veze, traumatska iskustva i njihovo prevazilaženje, kao i unutrašnje konflikte. Osnivačica je produkcijske kompanije DramaFree, u čijem fokusu se nalaze autorski filmovi, te je producirala svoj prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film TATINA USPAVANKA.

E The unseen damage inflicted by war on personal relationships casts its shadow over the homecoming of Serhiy, a veteran haunted by loss. He finds himself increasingly isolated as he battles to reconnect with his wife, Nadiia, and their three sons, Sasha, Artem and Nikita. The film takes an unexpected turn when Serhiy turns the camera on its director. This role reversal creates a space for vulnerable dialogue about love and human relationships as the filmmaker shares her own experience of break-up with another war veteran.

Lesia Diak is a Ukrainian film director and producer living and working in Lisbon and Kyiv. Having a professional background in communications, in 2022 she graduated from DocNomads, an international documentary film directing master’s programme. Her short films, which have been selected for numerous international film festivals, explore genuine human bonds, trauma, healing, and inner conflict. She is the founder of DramaFree, a film production company that focuses on author-driven films and which produced her debut feature-length documentary, DAD’S LULLABY.

Zarafet ve Şiddet Arasında / Između delikatnosti

i nasilja / Between Delicate and Violent

IZMEĐU DELIKATNOSTI I NASILJA je eksperimentalni dokumentarni film u kojem se ruke posmatraju kao dio tijela koji može čuvati i prenositi uspomene. Preko ruku i njihovih kreacija, film iskopava uspomene koje nisu sačuvane u izložbenim, društveno prihvatljivim porodičnim albumima. Da li je nasilnost slikarevih ruku moguće vidjeti u potezima kista na njegovim slikama? Da li je vez svojevrsna abeceda? Video se na maštovit i kreativan način povezuje s rediteljevom prošlošću, istovremeno se otvarajući za šira pitanja poput porodičnog nasilja, međugeneracijske traume i otpora.

Şirin Bahar Demirel je filmska i vizuelna umjetnica čiji su mediji film, kolaž i fotografija. Demirel je studirala film na Univerzitetu Galatasaray u Istanbulu, dok je umjetničko vođenje kulturnih projekata studirala na Univerzitetu Paul Valéry u Francuskoj. Njen najnoviji dokumentarni film IZMEĐU DELIKATNOSTI I NASILJA premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu (IDFA) 2023. godine.

E This experimental documentary considers hands as places of remembrance that can both accumulate and transfer memories. Through hands and their creations, BETWEEN DELICATE AND VIOLENT imagines unearthing lost memories that have not been included in performative, socially acceptable family albums. Can we see the violence of a painter’s hands in their brushstrokes? Could cross-stitch be an alphabet of some sort? The video connects with the director’s past through imagination and creation, while opening up to larger human experiences such as domestic violence and intergenerational trauma and resistance.

Şirin Bahar Demirel is a filmmaker and visual artist, working in collage, photography, and the moving image. Demirel studied cinema at Galatasaray University in Istanbul and the artistic direction of cultural projects at Paul Valéry University in France. BETWEEN DELICATE AND VIOLENT, her most recent short documentary, had its premiere at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam in 2023.

Fehmiu

Opservacijski film bez naracije, ali s intervjuima snimljenim na Kosovu, u Albaniji, Srbiji, Bosni i Hercegovini, Hrvatskoj i Italiji. Film počinje samoubistvom, a potom prelazi na rođenje, klimaks, veličanstvenost i značajne uloge Bekima Fehmiua. Njegova slava uzrok je nesporazuma i glasina. Film istražuje kako je jedan albanski glumac stekao slavu u bivšoj Jugoslaviji i uspio se upisati na Umjetničku akademiju iako nije govorio srpskohrvatski jezik.

Valmir Tertini je filmski reditelj i član Evropske filmske akademije.

Uvod / Introduction

Ova godina donosi uzbudljivu selekciju kratkometražnih filmova koji se takmiče za Srce Sarajeva. U konkurenciji je jedanaest naslova od čega su tri animirana film, te jedan film izvan konkurencije.

Animacije predstavlja austrijski film TAKO TSUBO rediteljica Eve Pedroze i Fanny Sorgo koji je premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. Iz Gruzije dolazi animacija ELENE DARIANI rediteljice Elene Tavadze, a jedno od iznenađenja je bosanskohercegovačka animacija GAIA rediteljskog dvojca Edina Čišića i Nermina Hamzagića.

Od igranih kratkometražnih filmova u selekciju su ušli naslovi koji su prikazani na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu i to: USPUT kosovskog autora Samira Karahoda, SANKI YOKSAN reditelja Azera Gulieva iz Azerbejdžana te film ODSUTAN turskog reditelja Cema Demirera prikazan u programu Sedmica kritike. Naravno, tu je i ovogodišnji dobitnik Zlatne palme za najbolji film festivala u Cannesu 2024. godine, film ČOVJEK KOJI NIJE MOGAO ŠUTJETI hrvatskog reditelja Nebojše Slijepčevića koji se dvije godine zaredom vraća u naš program – van konkurencije. Evropsku premijeru imat će još jedan turski film i to ZEMLJIŠNA OSVETA reditelja Recepa Çavdara. Od svjetskih premijera tu su filmovi koji su uvijek najljepša iznenađenja. Tu je film srbijanskog reditelja Ivana Đurovića RUJNA ZORA, rumunski film @TIKTOK_ COWBOY Anastaseau Stefana, ukrajinski film ŽIVA Vladlena Odudenka te bosanskohercegovački film BONACA Luke Vlaha.

Nije neobično da ovih dvanaest filmova donosi izuzetno raznovrsne pristupe i svjetove s temama koje su potpuno različite. No, bez obzira na raznovrsnost, svi autori i autorice propituju teme identiteta, budućnosti i perspektive u današnjem krhkom svijetu. I ono što je možda najvažnije, ovi filmovi donose dašak slobode, kako u izrazu tako i u odnosu prema svijetu.

E This year, we bring you an exciting selection of eleven short films including three animated films competeing for the Heart of Sarajevo and one film out of competition.

Three of the films are animated, including Eva Pedroza and Fanny Sorgo’s TAKO TSUBO, which had its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival; Georgian filmmaker Elena Tavadze’s ELENE DARIANI; and GAIA, one of the surprises of the programme, produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina and co-directed by Edin Čišić and Nermin Hamzagić.

The selection features several films screened at the Festival de Cannes, namely ON THE WAY by Kosovar director Samir Karahoda, SANKI YOKSAN by Azerbaijani director Azer Guliev, and ABSENT by Turkey’s Cem Demirer, which was screened in the Semaine de la Critique section. Of course, also included is this year’s Palme d’Or winner, THE MAN WHO COULD NOT REMAIN SILENT by Croatian director Nebojsa Sljepčević, who returns to Sarajevo for the second year in a row, this time in our programme – out of competition. Another Turkish film, Recep Çavdar’s PLOT REVENGE, has its world premiere in our programme, which is rounded out by by Serbian director Ivan Djurović’s SEPTEMBER DAWN, @TIKTOK COWBOY by Anastaseau Stefan of Romania, ALIVE by Ukrainian director Vladlen Odudenk, and BONACA by Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Luka Vlaho.

It should not come as a surprise that these twelve films reflect varying approaches to widely different topics. Regardless of this variety, however, all these filmmakers reflect on issues of identity, the future, and pointsof-view in our fragile world. What may be most significant is that these films offer a breath of freedom, both in their artistic language and in their approach to our world.

Otac i sin voze se ka aerodromu kako bi preuzeli poklon koji je sinu poslao kum iz inostranstva. U svijetu birokratskih prepreka, gotovo bez nade da su stvarne političke i društvene promjene moguće, otac i sin pronalaze utjehu i snagu u zajedničkom optimističnom pogledu na budućnost.

Samir Karahoda je fotograf, reditelj, filmski snimatelj i kustos DokuFesta u Prizrenu.

E A father and son are on their way to the airport to pick up a gift sent from abroad by the son’s godfather. Amid bureaucratic hurdles, with little or no hope for real political and social changes in their country, they find comfort and strength in their shared optimism for the future.

Samir Karahoda is a photographer, director, cinematographer, and tutor, and a curator at the DokuFest in Prizren.

Osmo po redu izdanje Studentskog programa donosi nam čak petnaest filmova, od čega devet svjetskih, dvije međunarodne i četiri regionalne premijere.

Ono što posebno raduje vidjeti u ovogodišnjem izdanju programa je raznovrsnost radova, spremnost da se ne pristaje na kompromise, ali istovremeno suvereno vlada filmskim jezikom. Svaki pokušaj da se ova selekcija razvrsta na tematske cjeline kao da bi oduzela nešto od kompleksnosti samih radova i njihove težnje da obuhvate ne jedan, već više slojeva kompleksnih problema s kojima se autori i autorice susreću, a kojima tako vješto nalaze odgovor u filmskom jeziku, dijeleći pri tome ipak jednu zajedničku nit. Od klasičnih problema odrastanja (pa i onih kasnih koje neke od likova uhvate tek u tridesetim), preko porodičnih drama, pitanja identiteta i migracija, klasnih podjela, rodno zasnovanog nasilja, toksičnosti muško-ženskih, ali i porodičnih i prijateljskih odnosa, pa sve do nekih kompleksnijih pitanja čovjekovog postojanja, njegove veze sa prirodom, te neminovnog razmišljanja o smrti i kraju svijeta (bukvalnom ili onakvom kakvim ga znamo), ova selekcija pokazuje svu širinu tema kojima se mladi autori i autorice bave.

Iznimno je važno spomenuti da su u ovogodišnjoj selekciji čak dvanaest od petnaest filmova režirale žene. Ovaj višegodišnji trend dominacije rediteljica u Studentskom programu daje nam nadu da ćemo u regionalnom filmu u budućnosti doći do balansa kojem evropska filmska industrija već duže vrijeme teži.

Tri animirana filma u selekciji donose čitavo bogatstvo vizuelnih stilova i kreativnih rediteljskih rješenja, ali i tematski važnih priča. U slovenačkoj stop motion animaciji IZA LICA autorica Anja Resman bavi se transgeneracijskom traumom, a pored toga u konkurenciji su se našla i dva mađarska animirana filma, što još jednom potvrđuje suverenost mađarske škole animacije u regionalnom studentskom filmu. Julia Tudisco u DJECI PTICA kreira svijet u kojem se kreacija i destrukcija, kao dva osnovna prirodna principa, prepliću, u potpunosti zaviseći jedan od drugog, dok u filmu POSLJEDNJA KAP Anna Tokes jednostavnim i efektnim crtežom ispituje granice ljudske psihičke i fizičke izdržljivosti, prikazujući scene iz života ritmičke gimnastičarke koja se priprema za takmičenje.

Posebno mjesto u selekciji zauzima tema odrastanja i samospoznaje. MORAMO RAZGOVARATI O DILAN turske rediteljice Umut Silan Ogurlu je mocumentary o generaciji milenijalaca koja je odrasla na narativu da može biti sve što poželi dok je nisu dočekali svi problemi kapitalističkog društva.

HAOS KOJI JE OSTAVILA IZA SEBE, jedan od ovogodišnjih pobjednika La Cinef selekcije reditelja Nikosa Kolioukosa, donosi priču o ženi na čijem putu samoostvarenja stoji otac alkoholičar od čijeg se utjecaja gotovo nemoguće otrgnuti. Sa problematičnim ocem pokušava raskrstiti i glavna junakinja filma NIŠTA LIČNO, TATA crnogorske rediteljice Tamare Pavičević, ali na jedan mnogo direktniji način. Bosanskohercegovački film ZBOGOM, SARO! rediteljice Isidore Ratković također prati mladu ženu koja napušta roditeljski dom u potrazi za boljom budućnošću u dalekoj Australiji, kao posljedicu ekonomskih migracija. Porodica je u centru još jednog filma o odrastanju, filma MIRIS SVJEŽE FARBE Nađe Petrović, scenaristice filma SHERBET koji je prije četiri godine osvojio Srce Sarajeva za najbolji studentski film. I junakinja ovog filma odrasta pod teretom klasnih problema, razorene porodice i pokušaja da nađe izlaz iz situacije, kako u stvarnosti, tako i u mašti.

O posljedicama migracija djelomično govori i austrijski film GÜL rediteljice Lidija-Rukiye Kumpas. Između različitih jezika, u procjepu u kojem se sudaraju prekretnica jednog i mirna luka drugog života, dvije žene uspijevaju razviti iskrenu i autentičnu vezu.

Slovenački film MENTOR rediteljice Tinkare Klipšteter bavi se jednom od već duže vrijeme prisutnih tema na regionalnim akademijama, a to je rodno zasnovano uznemiravanje i zloupotreba moći na relaciji profesor – student, mijenjajući vješto tačku gledišta iz unutarnje ka vanjskoj.

Rijetkost je danas vidjeti da studenti regionalnih akademija snimaju na filmskoj traci i upravo zato je film AKO PLUTAM Bogdana Alecsandrua, snimljen kombinacijom 16 mm trake i digitalne tehnologije, nešto što zauzima posebno mjesto u ovogodišnjoj selekciji.

Grčki film PYTILOS rediteljice Galatije Lagoutari na autentičan način govori o čovjeku i prirodi, postojanosti i prolaznosti, te samom konceptu vremena kroz odnos dvije sestre koje posjećuju porodičnu kuću nakon majčine smrti.

Asja Krsmanović

Marcell Farakas, nakon učešća u Talents Sarajevo programu, vraća se na Festival kratkim filmom VRIJEME ZMAJA u kojem nam donosi jedan istovremeno i zaneseni i fatalistički pogled na budućnost kroz prizmu odnosa između dvoje mladih, zaljubljenih ljudi.

Još jedan grčki film u selekciji ASSISTENCIJA rediteljice Marije Tsioli donosi nam isto osjećanje dok pratimo odnos dvije prijateljice na praznim ulicama grada, kao što to čini i ukrajinski film SRETAN SMAK SVIJETA Anastasije Mykhalchuk, o jednoj porodici večer prije najavljenog kraja svijeta.

Potreba da se suoči sa stvarnošću, ali istovremeno i pobjegne od nje, snažno povezuje sve filmove u ovogodišnjoj selekciji. Suočeni s nedostatkom smisla u svijetu koji pred nas postavlja sve više izazova, mladi reditelji i rediteljice istovremeno izražavaju sumnju, strah i razočarenje okolnostima u kojima su se zatekli u ovom historijskom momentu, ali i snažnu nadu da nas razumijevanje, suosjećanje i mašta ipak mogu dovesti do tačke gdje nije sve izgubljeno.

E The eighth edition of the Student Film Competition brings fifteen films to Sarajevo, among them nine world, two international, and four regional premieres.

Particularly exciting this year is the variety of the selected films and the uncompromising approach and confident mastery of cinematic language their directors take to their filmmaking.

Any attempt to sort the programme by topic would take something away from the intricacy of the individual films and their ambition to present multiple layers of the complex problems they address and for which they find cinemtic solutions.

The line-up presents a variety of issues embraced by young filmmakers, ranging from classic coming-of-age problems (which, in some cases, characters confront in their late thirties), family drama, identity, migration, and issues of the class divide, gender-based violence, toxic male-female relations, and relations among family and friends, to the more complex topics of human existence, our relationship to nature, and contemplations of death and the end of the world—whether a literal end, or that of the world as we know it.

It is significant that women directed twelve of the fifteen selected films. This contining trend of high representation of female directors in our selections gives us hope that the gender balance the European film industry has long strived for will be achieved in the near future in the film industry in this region.

Three animated films in the programme bring a wealth of visual styles and creative direction, as well as thematically important stories. Slovenian director Anja Resman’s stop-motion BEYOND THE FACE, which deals with trans-generational trauma, competes for the awards with two Hungarian animated films that prove, once again, the dominance of the Hungarian school of animation in regional student film production. In CHILDREN OF THE BIRD, Julia Tudisco creates a world in which the two key processes of nature—creation and destruction—intertwine as fully interdependent forces, while Anna Tokes’s THE LAST DROP employs simple and effective drawing to test the limits of human endurance, both physical and psychological, by presenting the scenes from the life of a rhythmic gymnast preparing for a competition.

Coming-of-age and issues of achieving selfawareness occupy a special place in the selection. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT DILAN, a mockumentary by Turkish director Umut Silan Ogurlu, is a story about the millennial generation, brought up believing they can be whatever they want, confronting the problems of capitalist society.

Nikos Kolioukos’s THE CHAOS SHE LEFT BEHIND, one of the winning films of this year’s La Cinef competition at the Festival de Cannes, tells the story of a woman struggling to achieve her ambitions in the face of the destructive and almost inescapable influence of her alcoholic father. The protagonist of NOTHING PERSONAL, DADDY by Montenegrin director Tamara Pavićević is also trying to overcome issues she has with her father, but in a much more direct manner. The Bosnian film GOOD LUCK, SARAH! by Isidora Ratković follows a young woman who leaves her parents’ home in search of a better future in faraway Australia. Family is in the focus of THE SMELL OF FRESH PAINT by Nađa Petrović—the screenwriter of SHERBET, which won the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Student Film four years ago. The protagonist of her new film is growing up burdened by class struggle and a broken family, and attempts to find a way out of her situation in real life and in her imagination.

The Austrian film GÜL, directed by Lidija-Rukiye Kumpas, touches on issues surrounding the impact of migration. Two women build an honest and authentic relationship while caught between different languages—a gap where the turning point of one life and the quiet harbour of another meet.

MENTOR by Slovenia’s Tinkara Klipšteter deals with a topic that has been popular among film students in our region for quite some time: gender-based harassment and abuse of power in a professor-student relationship. In her film, Klipšteter skilfully changes the point of view from internal to external.

It is uncommon for regional film students to shoot on film, which makes Bogdan Alescandru’s IF I FLOAT, which is shot on 16mm film as well as digital video, special among the films in this year’s selection.

The Greek film PYTILOS, directed by Galatia Lagoutari, is an authentic tale about humans and nature, persistence and transience, and the concept of time, relayed through the relationship of two sisters who visit their family home after their mother’s death.

After participating in Talents Sarajevo, Marcell Farakas returns to the Sarajevo Film Festival with his short film AGE OF THE DRAGON, at once an enthusiastic and fatalistic view of the future as seen through the prism of the relationship of two young lovers.

ASSIST by Marie Tisioli, another Greek student, provokes an emotional response with a story about the relationship between two friends on the empty streets of a city, as does HAPPY END DAY by Ukrainian director Anastasia Mykhalchuk, a film about a family on the eve of what they anticipate will be the end of the world.

The urge to confront reality and simultaneously escape from it is a strong thread connecting all the films in this year’s competition. Faced with an increasingly challenging world, young filmmakers express doubt about, fear of, and disappointment with the conditions they find themselves in at this moment in history but, at the same time, they voice hope that compassion, mutual understanding, and imagination can bring us to a situation where all will not be lost.

Uvod / Introduction

Svake godine program U fokusu donosi značajne filmove iz regije koji su u protekloj godini obilježili svjetsku kinematografiju. Ovogodišnja selekcija donosi sedam naslova među kojima se nalaze iskusni reditelji, ali i dva debitanta.

Levan Akin vraća se u Sarajevo s novim filmskim ostvaranjem CROSSING koji je otvorio ovogodišnji program Panorama Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. U filmu pratimo potragu sredovječne Gruzijke za svojom transnećakinjom koja se navodno nalazi u Istanbulu. Baš ta potraga će otkriti – i junacima i filmskoj publici – stranu Istanbula koja se rijetko viđa na filmovima, kroz priču koja najviše govori o oprostu, identitetu i prihvatanju.

Iz Austrije ćemo prikazati film VRAŽIJA KUPKA rediteljskog dvojca Veronike Franz i Severina Fiale kojima je ovo treće zajedničko ostvarenje. Film, premijerno prikazan u konkurenciji festivala u Berlinu, donosi uznemirujuću psihološku dramu o traumatizovanoj ženi u ruralnoj Austriji u 18. vijeku. Baziran na temeljitom istraživanju historijskih sudskih zabilješki, film predstavlja mračnu priču o depresiji i prikazuje neistraženo poglavlje evropske historije u kojem su ljudi, uglavnom žene, liječili sami sebe od psihičkih poremećaja i oboljenja, a sve pod krinkom religije.

Rediteljica Iva Radivojević predstavit će film KADA JE ZAZVONIO TELEFON koji je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu. Film konstantno vraća glavnu junakinju na početni trenutak filma telefonskim pozivom koji joj mijenja životni tok. Putem sjećanja, ona se vraća na taj dio svog života.

Jedan od poznatijih i važnijih reditelja današnjice Cristi Puiu predstavit će svoje najnovije filmsko ostvarenje MMXX premijerno prikazano na Filmskom festivalu u San Sebastianu prošle godine. Film se sastoji od četiri poglavlja u kojima pratimo jednu godinu tokom pandemije COVID-19 u

Rumuniji. Puiu nas uvlači u priču preko junaka koji su prikazani na izuzetan način s dosta detalja, ali i s dovoljno prostora za svakog gledaoca da sam ili sama za sebe donese odluke o njima.

Austrijski film MJESEC rediteljice Kurdwin Ayub donosi pogled na ženske slobode s dvije naizgled različite strane – evropske, koju zastupa glavna junakinja, te arapske – s idejom da se te dvije slike ne razlikuju toliko koliko mislimo. Film je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu u glavnom takmičarskom programu.

Debitant Bruno Anković predstavit će film PROSLAVA koji je premijerno prikazan u glavnom programu Filmskog festivala u Karlovym Varyma ove godine. Film je nastao prema istoimenom romanu Damira Karakaša, a prati glavnog junaka u tri vremenska perioda, među kojima je glavni onaj od kraja Drugog svjetskog rata 1945. godine. Bruno Anković izuzetno je vješt u stvaranju atmosfere u kojoj se uglavnom prati psihičko stanje glavnog junaka filma i propituje kako pogrešne odluke mogu postati fatalne.

Konstantin Bojanov se također vraća na Sarajevo Film Festival sa svojim za sada izuzetno uspješnim filmom THE SHAMELESS koji je premijerno prikazan u sklopu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu u programu Izvjestan pogled. Film donosi radikalnu priču o ljubavi između dvije žene u današnjoj Indiji, potencirajući društveni okvir na koji su glavne junakinje unaprijed osuđene. Ovo je izuzetno provokativna queer drama u kojoj možemo uživati u izuzetnim glumačkim ostvarenjima dvije glavne glumice nagrađene u Cannesu.

U Fokusu ćemo vidjeti filmove koji na najbolji način predstavljaju svu raznovrsnost regionalne filmske produkcije.

Dobro došli na program U fokusu!

E Each year, the In Focus programme presents films from our region that left their mark on global cinema over the past twelve months. This year, the line-up includes seven films, of which two are directorial debuts, while others are by well-established directors.

Levan Akin returns to Sarajevo with his latest film, CROSSING, which opened the Panorama section of this year’s Berlin International Film Festival. It follows a middle-aged Georgian woman’s search for her transgender niece, who is supposedly in Istanbul. The story, primarily one about forgiveness, identity, and acceptance, reveals a side of Istanbul seldom depicted on screen.

From Austria, we screen THE DEVIL’S BATH, the third film by directing duo Veronika Franz and Severina Fiala. The disturbing psychological drama about a traumatised woman in eighteenth-century Austria was selected for the Competition at this year’s Berlinale. The film is based on historical court records about an unexplored chapter of European history, which saw people, mostly women, self-treating their mental disorders under cover of religion.

Director Iva Radivojević presents her latest film, WHEN THE PHONE RANG, which screened at the Locarno Film Festival. The film keeps returning its protagonist to a phone call that changed the course of her life.

Cristi Puiu, among the most important and best-known of contemporary directors, presents his newest film, MMXX, which had its premiere last year at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. The four-chapter film follows a year during the COVID-19 pandemic in Romania, plunging the audience into the lives of its characters who are portrayed with a great deal of detail, in such a way to allow the viewer to form their own opinion of them.

The Austrian film MOON, directed by Kurdwin Ayub, presents two visions of women’s freedom: the European version, championed by the film’s protagonist, and the Arab one, to show that the two views are not as different as we might think. The film had its premiere in the main competition programme at Locarno.

Bruno Anković presents CELEBRATION, his directorial debut, which premiered in competition at this year’s Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Based on Damir Karakaš’s novel of the same name, the film follows the life of its protagonist at three different points in time, of which the one following the end of World War II in 1945 is the most significant. Anković skillfully creates an atmosphere reflective of the protagonist’s psychological state in a film that explores how making a wrong decision in life can a have fatal outcome.

Konstantin Bojanov also returns to Sarajevo with his very successful THE SHAMELESS, which premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the Festival de Cannes. A radical tale about love between two women in contemporary India, the film focuses on the social framework in which the two lovers are doomed to exist. It is a highly provocative queer drama featuring two remarkable lead performances, which won recognition at Cannes.

In Focus offers a selection of films that best represent the variety of regional film production this year.

Crossing

Lia, umirovljena učiteljica iz Gruzije, obećala je da će otkriti šta se dogodilo njenoj nećakinji Tekli koja se vodi kao nestala osoba. Nakon što joj njen susjed Achi saopšti da Tekla možda živi u Turskoj, njih dvoje se odlučuju uputiti tamo kako bi je zajedno potražili. U Istanbulu pronalaze prekrasan grad pun veza i mogućnosti, ali pronaći nekoga ko ne želi biti pronađen puno je teže nego što su očekivali. Sve dok ne upoznaju Evrim, advokaticu koja se bori za prava transrodnih osoba. Dok lutaju zabačenim istanbulskim ulicama, Lia i Achi imaju osjećaj da su bliže Tekli nego ikada ranije.

Levan Akin je švedski filmski autor gruzijskog porijekla. Njegov prvi dugometražni film NEKI LJUDI međunarodnu premijeru je imao na Filmskom festivalu u Tribeci 2012. godine. Film A ONDA SMO PLESALI premijerno je prikazan u programu 15 dana autora Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2019. godine. Njegov recentno snimljeni film CROSSING je uvršten u program Panorama 74. izdanja Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E Lia, a retired teacher living in Georgia, made a promise to find out what happened to her long-lost niece Tekla. When Lia learns from her neighbour Achi that Tekla might be living in Turkey, the pair set off together in search of her. In Istanbul, they discover a beautiful city full of connections and possibilities—but looking for someone who has no intention of being found is more difficult than they thought—until they meet Evrim, a lawyer fighting for trans rights. As Lia and Achi weave their way through the city’s backstreets, Tekla starts to feel closer than ever.

Levan Akin is a Swedish filmmaker of Georgian descent. CERTAIN PEOPLE, his first feature-length film, had its international premiere at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. His 2019 film AND THEN WE DANCED premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Festival de Cannes. CROSSING, his most recent film, was selected for the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2024.

Des Teufels Bad / Vražija kupka / The Devil’s Bath

Gornja Austrija, godina 1750: sivo nebo ogleda se u ribljoj bari. Duboka, mračna šuma upija sunčevu svjetlost. Na vrhu brijega javnosti je izloženo tijelo pogubljene žene. Kao dokaz. Kao upozorenje. Ili kao predskazanje? Agnes, duboko religiozna i izrazito osjetljiva žena, posmatra izloženi leš sa sažaljenem. Ali istovremeno osjeća i čežnju jer se osjeća poput strankinje u svijetu njenoga supruga Wolfa. Taj svijet je emotivno prazan, vrti se oko posla, obaveza i tuđih očekivanja. Agnes se sve više povlači u sebe. Njen unutrašnji zatvor postaje sve tješnji, njena melanholija sve nepodnošljivija. Uskoro, šokantni čin nasilja čini joj se kao jedini izlaz.

Veronika Franz je studirala njemački jezik i filozofiju te radila kao novinarka. Redovno je sarađivala sa umjetnikom Ulrichom Seidlom kao koscenaristica na svim njegovim filmovima, uključujući filmove PSEĆI DANI, IMPORT EXPORT, trilogiju RAJ, te IGRE ZLA – RIMINI SPARTA. Sa Seidlom je 2003. godine osnovala producentsku kuću Ulrich Seidl Filmproduktion.

Severin Fiala studirao je na Filmskoj akademiji u Beču. Korežirao je nagrađivani kratki film SLONOVSKA KOŽA. Fiala i Franz su saradnju počeli na dokumentarnom filmu KERN. Nakon toga zajedno snimaju psihološki triler LAKU NOĆ MAMICE koji je premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji 2014. godine. Njihov naredni film KOLIBA premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu Sundance 2019, a najnoviji VRAŽIJA KUPKA uvršten je u takmičarski program ovogodišnjeg festivala u Berlinu.

E Upper Austria, 1750. A fishpond reflects the grey sky. A deep, dark forest swallows the sunlight. On a hilltop, an executed woman is displayed for all to see. As evidence. As a warning. As an omen? Deeply religious and highly sensitive, Agnes looks at the dead woman with pity. But also with longing, because she feels like a stranger in her husband Wolf’s world—an emotionally cold world consisting of work, chores and expectations. Agnes withdraws more and more into herself. Her inner prison becomes ever more oppressive, her melancholy more overwhelming. Soon her only way out seems to be a shocking act of violence.

Veronika Franz studied German and philosophy, and has worked as a journalist. She has also worked as an artistic collaborator with Ulrich Seidl and co-wrote the screenplays for all of his films, among them DOG DAYS, IMPORT EXPORT, the PARADISE trilogy, and WICKED GAMES – RIMINI SPARTA. In 2003, along with Seidl, she co-founded Ulrich Seidl Filmproduktion. Severin Fiala studied at the Vienna Film Academy. He co-directed the award-winning short film ELEPHANT SKIN. The two first worked together on the documentary KERN. They then made the psycho thriller GOODNIGHT MOMMY, which premiered at Venice in 2014. Their next film THE LODGE had it’s premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2019. Their latest film, THE DEVIL’S BATH, was selected in the Competition Programme of this year’s Berlinale.

Kada je zazvonio telefon / When

the Phone Rang

Kroz intimnu rekonstrukciju jednog telefonskog poziva, film KADA JE ZAZVONIO TELEFON istražuje osjećaj dislokacije i prirodu sjećanja. Prema sjećanju glavne protagonistice filma, jedan telefonski poziv u vrijeme kada je imala jedanaest godina izbrisao je njenu zemlju, historiju i identitet, te krije istinu o njihovom postojanju u knjigama, filmovima i uspomenama onih koji su rođeni prije 1995.

Iva Radivojević je rođena u Beogradu, a rane godine svoga života provela je u Jugoslaviji, na Kipru i u gradu New Yorku. Njeni fimovi su prikazani na Filmskom festivalu u New Yorku, festivalu Novi reditelji/Novi filmovi, Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu, festivalu CPH:DOX, Festivalu filma i medijskih umjetnosti Berwick, festivalu DocLisboa, u Muzeju moderne umjetnosti u New Yorku, te na Bijenalu moderne umjetnosti u Solunu. Ostvarila je autorske angažmane sa La Lucarne programom televizijskog kanala ARTE i produkcijskom kućom Field of Vision. Radivojević trenutno pohađa doktorski studij u školi Villa Arson u Nici. Njen najnoviji film KADA JE ZAZVONIO TELEFON premijerno je prikazan u zvaničnoj takmičarskoj konkurenciji Filmskog festivala u Locarnu.

E Through an intimate reconstruction of an important phone call, WHEN THE PHONE RANG investigates dislocation and the nature of remembering. In the protagonist’s eleven-year-old mind, a phone call erased her entire country, history, and identity, and hides its existence in books, films, and the memories of those born before 1995.

Iva Radivojević was born in Belgrade and spent her early years in Yugoslavia, Cyprus, and New York City. Her films have screened at the New York Film Festival, New Directors/New Films, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, CPH:DOX, the Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, DocLisboa, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and the Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art, and she has received commissions from ARTE La Lucarne and Field of Vision. Currently, Radivojević is a PhD candidate at Villa Arson in Nice. Her most recent film, WHEN THE PHONE RANG, had its premiere in the Official Selection of the Locarno Film Festival.

Mlada psihoterapeutkinja Oana Pfifer postepeno se upliće u mrežu pitanja iz upitnika kroz koji prolazi sa svojim pacijentima. Mihai, Oanin brat, brine se zbog svog rođendana, ulovljen u priči koja prevazilazi njegove mogućnosti. Oanin suprug Spetimiu brine se za svoje zdravlje i površno sluša priču o skorašnjem neobičnom iskustvu svoga kolege. Narcis Patranescu, policijski inspektor zadužen za slučajeve organizovanog kriminala, opterećen je uznemirujućom teškom pričom dok na sahrani saslušava jednu mladu ženu.

Cristi Puiu je rumunski reditelj, scenarista i producent rođen 1967. u Bukureštu. Nakon što je studirao umjetnost u Ženevi posvećuje se filmskoj režiji i 2001. snima prvi film LOVA I JOŠ PONEŠTO, koji je premijeru doživio na festivalu u Cannesu, u programu 15 dana autora. Njegov naredni film SMRT

GOSPODINA LAZARESCUA osvojio je Veliku nagradu programa Izvjestan pogled na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu 2005, a u isti program je uvršten i njegov naredni film AURORA. S filmom SIERANEVADA 2016. ulazi u glavni takmičarski program festivala u Cannesu, a s narednim MALMKROG 2020. osvaja Nagradu za najboljeg reditelja u programu Encounters Međunarodnog Filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E Oana Pfifer, a young therapist, gradually slips into the net of the questionnaire she submits to her patient. Mihai, Oana’s brother, worrying about his birthday, is stuck in a story far bigger than he can handle. Septimiu, Oana’s husband, concerned about his health, vaguely listens to a strange story his colleague was caught up in a while ago. Narcis Patranescu, an organised crime detective, deals with an unsettling dark story while interrogating a young woman at a funeral.

Cristi Puiu is a director, screenwriter, and producer born in Bucharest in 1967. After studying arts in Geneva, he moved into directing and completed his first film, STUFF AND DOUGH, which had its premiere in the Directors Fortnight at the Festival de Cannes in 2001. In 2005, Puiu’s sophomore film, THE DEATH OF MR. LAZARESCU, was awarded the Grand Prix in the Un Certain Regard competition at Cannes. His following film, AURORA, was selected for the same competition. In 2016, SIERANEVADA was presented in the Official Competition at Cannes. In 2020, MALMKROG was selected for the Encounters competition at the Berlin International Film Festival, where it received the award for Best Director.

Sarah, bivša majstorica borilačkih vještina iz Beča, prihvata ponudu da radi kao lična trenerica za tri kćerke jedne bogate bliskoistočne porodice. U kući okruženoj zidovima, bez pristupa internetu i pod stalnim nadzorom triju sestara, Sarah otkriva da njene klijentice nisu zaista zainteresovane da treniraju boks. Postavlja se pitanje: zašto su zapravo angažovali Saru?

Kurdwin Ayub je rođena u Iraku 1990. godine, a trenutno živi i radi u Beču. Studirala je slikarstvo i eksperimentalnu animaciju na Bečkom univerzitetu primijenjenih umjetnosti, a dramske umjetnosti na tamošnjoj Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti.

Proslava / Celebration

Mijo kraj Drugog svjetskog rata dočekuje kao vojnik sakriven u šumi. Kroz priču o njegovom životu, istražujemo okolnosti koje su dovele do širenja ekstremizma. Nakon što je svjedočio okrutnom činu svoga oca uzrokovanom siromaštvom i izvršio nepošteni nalog opštinskih vlasti da se riješi porodičnog psa, Mijo postaje lak plijen za radikalno desne ideologe koji mu nude lažnu nadu u bolji život i lažnog krivca za sve što je propatio.

Bruno Anković je rođen u Splitu 1976. godine. Diplomirao je na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Režirao je kratke igrane i dokumentarne filmove i TV-programe raznih formata. Od 1999. režirao je brojne istaknute reklame koje su mu donijele nagrade i ugled. PROSLAVA je njegov debitantski dugometražni film, a premijerno je prikazan 2024. u takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala Karlovy Vary.

E At the end of the Second World War, Mijo, a soldier, is hiding in the woods. Through examining his life, we explore the circumstances that inspire the growth of extremism. After seeing his father driven by poverty into cruel action, and having carried out the municipal authorities’ unreasonable order to get rid of the family dog, Mijo became easy prey for a right-wing ideology that offered him false hope for a better life and a scapegoat for all the things he has suffered through.

Bruno Anković was born in Split, Croatia, in 1976, and is a graduate of the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb. He has directed short fiction and documentary films as well as TV formats. Since 1999, he has directed numerous high-profile commercials, winning awards and gaining recognition. CELEBRATION, his debut feature film, had its premiere in competition at the the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2024.

Utočište pronalazi u zajednici seksualnih radnica na sjeveru Indije gdje upoznaje Deviku, mladu djevojku osuđenu da život provede kao prostitutka. Njihov odnos prerasta u zabranjenu romansu.

Autentične priče rezultat su zrelog tržišta regionalnih dramskih serija / Authentic

Stories Are the Result of a Well-Developed Market for Drama Series from Our Region

Selekcija osmog izdanja programa Pretpremijera Serija se ističe kvalitetom i raznovrsnošću, što ne čudi s obzirom na kontinuirani rast regionalne produkcije televizijskih serija u posljednjih desetak godina. Tom rastu su doprinijeli veliki regionalni telekomunikacijski operateri i kompanije s televizijskim kanalima. Priznati autori, kreatori i scenaristi prihvatili su izazove novih formata, proširili svoje granice i kreirali nove, zanimljive priče. Sve to rezultiralo je zrelim tržištem dramskih serija koje je prepoznato i izvan “nacionalnih” granica. Upravo zbog toga, ovogodišnja selekcija je izrazito zanimljiva jer svaka serija u programu Pretpremijera ima izrazito visoke produkcijske vrijednosti, originalnog je autorskog izražaja i donosi autentičnu priču koja proizlazi iz specifičnog kulturnog nasljeđa. U osmom izdanju programa Pretpremijera s ponosom predstavljamo sedam igranih dramskih serija: četiri iz Bosne i Hercegovine, dvije iz Srbije i jednu iz Hrvatske.

S nestrpljenjem očekujemo drugu sezonu serije KOTLINA oskarovca Danisa Tanovića i nagrađivane producentice Amre Bakšić Čamo. Prvu smo sezonu premijerno prikazali prije dvije godine, a prošle godine je bila ovjenčana Srcem Sarajeva za televizijske serije u čak šest različitih kategorija. Druga sezona KOTLINE započinje dodjelom nagrade višem inspektoru Edibu Pašiću (Feđa Štukan) za riješeni slučaj Hagade kojim se bavila prva sezona. U narednim epizodama, koje ćemo gledati u zimi koja slijedi, glavni likovi, koje tumače Feđa Štukan i Boris Ler, uronjeni su duboko u život Sarajeva, ali ovaj put i Zenice, najvećih gradova smještenih u istoj geografskoj kotlini, koji se bore s kompliciranom prošlošću, turobnom sadašnjicom i nepoznatom budućnošću, obojeni ipak ljudskošću i humorom. Serija KOMAR kreatora Timura Makarevića, čiju ćemo prvu epizodu gledati, izdvaja se po mladim i talentiranim glumcima koji utjelovljuju niz intrigantnih likova, što će zasigurno privući mlađu generaciju gledalaca. Naizgled jednostavan triler o prijateljicama koje prate dojavu o izgubljenom autobusu, na liniji Sarajevo – Jajce, transformira se u žanrovsku poslasticu, vješto kombinirajući elemente mistery drame. Scenografija i fotografija, besprijekorno uklopljene u kompleksno strukturiran scenarij, neodoljivo nas uvlače u misterij i čine ovu seriju vizuelno jako privlačnom.

U programu je serija TENDER kreatora Srđana Vuletića, takozvani “workplace sitcom” koja na iznimno šaljiv način prikazuje dinamiku i odnose zaposlenika u Agenciji za javnu nabavu u Bosni i Hercegovini. Gledat ćemo dvije epizode serije pod nazivom SMS I NOVČANICE. Svaka epizoda

je konstruirana oko nekog novog motiva i svaka priča nosi nove izazove. Zahvaljujući duhovitim dijalozima i izvrsnom glumačkom ansamblu, četvrta sezona serije će vas opet nasmijati i zabaviti.

Također, u program Pretpremijera vraća se i humoristični sitcom PRINC IZ ELEJA kreatora Dušana Vranića, Elme Tataragić, Enesa Zlatara i Amre Bakšić Čamo. Zabavni likovi, predvođeni glumcima Alenom Muratovićem i Nadine Mičić, vode nas kroz niz avantura popraćenih elektronskom muzikom, koja u ovoj sezoni prevladava nad rockom. Gledat ćemo dvije epizode druge sezone u kojoj su gosti poznati glumci, muzičari, javne ličnosti ili njihovi dvojnici. Kako se ova serija uspješno poigrava sa pitanjem savremenih identiteta, ekipi se pridružuje i robot Mikica. U programu ćemo gledati i dvije epizode hrvatske serije BIJELI PUT kreatora Emira Imamovića Pirkea. Ova dramska serija, oblikovana u formi napetog trilera, razotkriva slojevite veze između bivših i sadašnjih kriminalaca, korumpiranih policajaca, odvjetnika i uglednih poduzetnika. Serija nas vodi kroz tajanstvenu mrežu kriminala i istražuje osobne, obiteljske i emocionalne turbulencije inspektora posvećenih istrazi. Iako je tema kriminalnog podzemlja poznata, BIJELI PUT donosi novu dimenziju izvanrednim izvedbama glumačke elite. Goran Bogdan, Franjo Dijak, Nina Violić, Enes Vejzović, Sanja Milardović, Stipe Radoja, Elvis Bošnjak i Judita Franković Brdar svojim talentom unose autentičnost likova, čineći seriju intrigantnom i uzbudljivom. Svaka scena odiše napetošću, a priča se razvija osvjetljavajući tamne kutke ljudske duše i društva.

Iz Srbije dolaze dvije epizode serije NOBELOVAC koja prati život Ive Andrića, dobitnika Nobelove nagrade za književnost 1961. godine. U seriji se isprepliću dva toka naracije: trenutak u kojem Andrić dobija Nobelovu nagradu te njegova prošlost, momenti koji su obilježili njegov život i književnost. Glavnu ulogu tumači Tihomir Stanić koji je ujedno, uz Vladimira Roganovića i Ivana Velisavljevića, kreator serije. Nakon uspjeha serije JUTRO ĆE PROMENITI SVE, koja je bila prikazana u programu Pretpremijera, kreatori i reditelji Goran Stanković i Vladimir Tagić ove godine donose novu dramsku seriju SABLJA. Ova serija je imala svjetsku premijeru na Canneseries, međunarodnom festivalu serija u Cannesu, gdje je oduševila publiku i kritiku te osvojila Nagradu za najbolji glumački ansambl. U ansamblu su poznati regionalni glumci Dragan Mićanović, Tihana Lazović, Milica Gojković, Ljubomir Bandović, Sergej Trifunović, Feđa Štukan, Jasna Đuričić, Zlatko Burić itd. Serija

SABLJA prati društveno-politička zbivanja u Srbiji 2003. godine koju je obilježio atentat na premijera Zorana Đinđića. Preko tri glavna lika, serija donosi dramsku interpretaciju stvarnih događaja, obogaćenu maštom i kreativnom slobodom autora, prikazujući atmosferu u Srbiji tog vremena.

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 takmiče za Nagradu publike te direktno ulaze u uži izbor nominacija nagrada Srca Sarajeva za televizijske serije koje će biti dodijeljene na 31. Sarajevo Film Festivalu. Dođite, pratite nas i glasajte za svoje favorite. Pred nama je uzbudljiva i raznovrsna selekcija serija!

E The line-up of the eighth edition of the Avant Premiere Series programme stands out for its diversity, which should not come as a surprise considering the steady growth of regional drama series production over the past decade. Major regional telecom operators and companies with television channels have contributed to that growth. Respected directors, creators, and scriptwriters have accepted the challenges of new formats, pushed their limits, and created fresh, interesting stories. As a result, we have a well-developed market for drama series recognised outside ‘national’ borders. For that reason, this year’s selection is extremely interesting, and all the series in the programme are characterised by high production values, original auteur voices, and authentic narratives that arise from a distinct cultural heritage. For this eighth edition, we are proud to present seven drama series, of which four are from Bosnia and Herzegovina, two from Serbia, and one from Croatia.

We have waited with impatient anticipation for the second season of THE HOLLOW by Academy Award winner Danis Tanović and international award-winning producer Amra Bakšić Čamo. We presented the premiere screening of the first season of the series two years ago; last year, it won Hearts of Sarajevo in six categories. This second season opens with a ceremony during which Senior Inspector Edib Pašić (Feđa Štukan) is to receive a commendation for solving the Haggadah case, which was the focus of the first season. In subsequent episodes, which are slated to premiere on television this winter, the central characters (played by Štukan and Boris

Ler) find themselves immersed in the lives of Sarajevo and Zenica, the two largest cities situated in the same geographical hollow, which struggle to come to terms with their complicated past, grim present, and uncertain future, all the while infused with humanity and humour.

We preview the first episode of KOMAR, a series created by Timur Makarević that is made special by its cast of young, talented actors appearing in the roles of intriguing characters certain to attract young viewers. An apparently simple thriller about two friends’ search for a bus that went missing en route from Sarajevo to Jajce transforms into a genre gem through the skillful incorporation of elements of mystery. Scenography and photography are immaculately matched with the complex screenplay structure, drawing us into the mystery and making this series highly visually appealing.

The programme also includes THE TENDER, a workplace sitcom created by Srđan Vuletić that offers a highly humorous portrayal of the dynamic relationships between the employees of the Public Procurement Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We screen the first two episodes of the series—SMS and BANKNOTES—each of which is constructed around a particular theme and each of which brings new challenges. Thanks to humorous dialogue and an exceptional cast, this fourth season of the series is once again sure to entertain and inspire laughter. Also returning to the programme is SMASHING IT, a witty sitcom created by Dušan Vranić, Elma Tataragić, Enes Zlatar and Amra Bakšić Čamo. An interesting cast, led by actors Alen Muratović and Nadine Mičić, takes us through a series of adventures accompanied by electronic music which took the dominance of the soundtrack from Rock’n’Roll in previous season. We preview two episodes of the second season marked by appearances by famous actors, musicians, celebrities—and their doubles. As the series successfully plays with contemporary identity issues, one of its new characters is the robot called Mikica.

We preview two episodes of the Croatian series WHITE TRAIL, created by Emir Imamović Pirke. Constructed as a tense thriller, the series sheds light on the complex liaisons among former and current criminals, corrupt police officers, lawyers, and respectable businessman, and takes us on an exploration of a secretive crime network while examining personal, family, and other emotional turbulence in the lives of the inspectors who have dedicated their careers to investigating it. While the criminal underworld is a common narrative theme, WHITE TRAIL

adds another layer to it, thanks to the wonderful performances delivered by its elite cast.

Goran Bogdan, Franjo Dijak, Nina Violić, Enes Vejzović, Sanja Milardović, Stipe Radoja, Elvis Bošnjak and Judita Franković Brdar use their talents to create characters that are realistic and authentic, thereby contributing to the intriguing and exciting nature of the series. Each scene is infused with tension and the story unfurls by shedding light on the dark corners of the human soul and society at large.

From Serbia, we preview two episodes of NOBELIST, a series about Ivo Andrić, winner of the 1961 Nobel Prize in Literature. Two plotlines intertwine: one focused on the moment when Andrić won the prize, the other on his past and the moments that shaped his life and his writing. Appearing in the role of Andrić is Tihomir Stanić, who co-created the series with Vladimir Roganović and Ivana Velisavljević. After the success of their MORNING CHANGES EVERYTHING, previously previewed in this programme, creator-directors Goran Stanković and Vladimir Tagić return to Sarajevo with OPERATION

SABRE. The duo’s new series had its world premiere in the Canneseries, the International Series Festival in Cannes. It was well received by critics and audiences and its cast won a Special Interpretation Award. The cast comprises celebrated regional actors, which includes Dragan Mićanović, Tihana Lazović, Milica Gojković, Ljubomir Bandović, Sergej Trifunović, Feđa Štukan, Jasna Đuričić, and Zlatko Burić. OPERATION

SABRE revisits a dark chapter in Serbia’s history—the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić in 2003. Through the stories of its three central characters, the series offers a dramatic interpretation of real events and a portrayal of the atmosphere in Serbia at that time, enriched by the imagination of, and creative freedom taken by, its authors.

We invite you to join us for screenings at the Cineplexx Cinema, as well as at the Press Corner on the Festival Square to meet the cast and crew of all these series and get to know them better through discussion.

The series selected for the Avant Premiere Series compete for the Audience Award and are shortlisted for the Heart of Sarajevo Awards for Drama Series, which will be presented at next year’s Sarajevo Film Festival.

Come, follow us, and vote for your favourites! We have an exciting and diverse selection of drama series ahead of us.

Bijeli put / White Trail

Nakon jednogodišnjeg nadzora i prikupljanja dokaza, inspektori u spektakularnoj akciji hapse Željka Matića Željca, nekadašnjeg člana međunarodnog narkokartela. Međutim, njegovom privođenju prethodi ubistvo policijskog načelnika, ali i pronalazak leša žene koju je hrvatska policija proglasila mrtvom prije sedam godina i čije je tijelo sahranjeno u Meksiku. Upravo je naručivanje tog davnog ubistva trebalo biti temelj optužnice protiv Željca, pa su inspektori i inspektorice prinuđeni otkriti ko je zapravo ubijen prije sedam godina, postoji li veza sa smrću policijskog načelnika i da li je Matić nastavio voditi svoje operacije iz zatvorske ćelije.

Emir Imamović Pirke je rođen 1973. godine u Tuzli. Dugogodišnji je novinar, urednik i kolumnist nekih od najznačajnijih medija u regiji te književnik. Autor je šest romana, scenarist je i kreator TVserije BIJELI PUT, te scenarist 15 epizoda TV-serije KAZALIŠTE U KUĆI, ali i koscenarist prve sezone TV-serije DNEVNIK VELIKOG PERICE i igranog filma PAVILJON, koji je trenutno u postprodukciji. Pisao za pozorište, kao i za namjenske igrane i igrano-dokumentarne TV-filmove. Živi u Šibeniku.

E Following a year-long surveillance and evidence-gathering operation, police make a dramatic arrest of Zeljko Matic Zeljc, a former member of an international drug cartel. His arrest is preceded by the murder of a police superintendent and the discovery in Mexico of the body of a woman declared deceased by Croatian police seven years earlier. Ordering her murder was among the key charges against Zeljc, so the police must now investigate who was really killed seven years ago, whether that murder is related to that of the superintendent, and if Zeljc continued running his operations from his prison cell.

Emir Imamović Pirke was born in 1973 in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is a novelist and spent many years working as a journalist, editor, and columnist for some of the leading media companies in the region. He is the author of six novels, and writer and creator of the WHITE TRAIL drama series. He co-wrote fifteen episodes of the drama series THEATRE AT HOME and the first season of the drama series BIG PERICA’S DIARY, as well as the feature-length film PAVILION, which is currently in post-production. He has also written television films and stage plays. He lives in Šibenik.

Komar

Mersiha je novinarka i ponos porodice. Kada njeni roditelji saznaju da je im je krila vezu sa Mikijem, žele da ga upoznaju što prije i zakazuju zajedničku večeru. Miki odlazi u posjetu majci u Jajce autobusom koji misteriozno nestaje na planinskom prevoju Komar. Potraga za autobusom je spora i neuspješna dok jedan telefonski poziv ne pokrene veliku policijsku akciju. Putnici se bude u autobusu parkiranom nasred livade okružene šumom, mobiteli im ne hvataju signal, a na obližnjem putu nema saobraćaja. Mersiha sa najboljom prijateljicom Jasnom kreće prema Komaru u nadi da će saznati nešto više o nestanku autobusa i pronaći Mikija na vrijeme za večeru sa njenim roditeljima.

Timur Makarević studirao je produkt dizajn na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti u Sarajevu, zatim u Francuskoj u École supérieure des beaux-arts de Marseille. Nakon toga montirao je brojne videoradove, TV-emisije, dokumentarne filmove i igrani film EPIZODA U ŽIVOTU BERAČA ŽELJEZA Danisa Tanovića. S dokumentarnim filmom MODERNA BOSNA, koji je radio u saradnji sa Igorom Bararonom, kao reditelj dobija Nagradu za najbolji film na Festivalu studentskog filma u Beogradu 2001. godine.

Njegov film NIŠTA, SAMO VJETAR uvršten je u zvaničnu selekciju Filmskog festivala Raindance u Londonu 2017. godine.

E Mersiha works as a journalist and is the pride of her family. When her parents discover she has kept them in dark about her relationship with Miki, they want to meet him as soon as possible, so send him a dinner invitation. Miki travels to Jajce to visit his mother when his bus mysteriously vanishes at Komar Mountain. The search for the bus is sluggish, and unsuccessful until a phone call triggers a major police operation. Travellers wake up in the bus and find it parked in the middle of a meadow surrounded by forest. They cannot access a mobile signal and there is no traffic on the nearby road. Mersiha travels to Komar with her best friend, hoping to learn more about the disappearance of the bus and find Miki in time for dinner with her parents.

Timur Makarević studied product design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo and at the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Marseille.

U Historijskom muzeju, ispod spomenika Josipu Brozu Titu, pronađeno je tijelo zeničkog rudara. Sve upućuje na samoubistvo. Inspektor Mido Zec odlučuje da provjeri detalje, što ga vodi u Zenicu, njegov rodni grad. Zenička policija nema problem sa kolegom iz Sarajeva, ali viša inspektorica Vera ima. Viši inspektor Edib Pašić prima nagradu za riješeni slučaj Hagade, ali ceremoniju prekida dojava o bombi. U Sarajevo dolazi i Tanja, Edibova bivša supruga, na derneku okuplja staru raju – dolazi i Senči, paranoičan i u strahu od osvete Smajlijevih ljudi.

E In the Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, alongside a monument to Josip Broz Tito, the body of a Zenica miner has been found. Everything points to suicide. Inspector Mido Zec decides to look into the details of the case, which takes him to Zenica, his hometown. Police there are not troubled by him, but Chief Inspector Vera is. Chief Inspector Edib Pašić prepares to receive a commendation for solving the Haggadah case, but the ceremony is interrupted by a bomb threat. Edib’s former wife, Tanja, arrives in Sarajevo and gathers her old friends together for a party. Senči also attends, paranoid and fearing the revenge of Smiley’s people.

Tri politička apartčika različitih nacionalnih, političkih i životnih stavova dobijaju poziciju u Agenciji za zajedničke javne nabavke sa zadatkom da proguraju svoje uske interese, ali vrlo brzo upadaju u grupnu dinamiku kojom vladaju manjak socijalne inteligencije, nedostatak ljubavi, sampouzdanja, škrtost, nadmenost, zavist, a prije svega lijenost i nekompetentnost.

E Three political apparatchiks of different ethnic, political, and cultural backgrounds are appointed to the Public Procurement Agency to work for their own benefit, but soon fall into a group dynamic characterised by a shortage of social intelligence, the absence of love, self-confidence, stinginess, pompousness, jealousy and, most of all, laziness and incompetence.

Sablja / Operation Sabre

SABLJA je zasnovana na stvarnim događajima koji su se dogodili u Srbiji 2003. godine, kada je srpski premijer Zoran Đinđić ubijen ispred zgrade vlade. Iz perspektive tri glavna junaka pratimo godinu koja je označila prekretnicu u društveno-političkom razvoju zemlje. Nakon atentata, država tone u haos i proglašava se vanredno stanje. Dok je javnosti jasno ko su ubice i zašto je atentat izvršen, Danica, mlada novinarka, pokušava da istraži pozadinu atentata. Boris, policijski inspektor, polako otkriva propuste unutar istrage, razotkrivajući lanac korupcije koji vodi do zločina iz devedesetih. Mladi kriminalac Uroš se sve dublje upliće u aktivnosti kriminalnog klana koji je izvršio atentat i sve mu je teže da izađe iz vrtloga u kom se nalazi.

Goran Stanković je magistrirao na Odsjeku za režiju na Američkom filmskom institutu (AFI) u Los Angelesu 2014. godine, a njegov završni film WAY IN RYE (RAŽ) nominovan je za studentsku nagradu Oskar za najbolji kratki igrani film.

Vladimir Tagić je završio studije režije na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu. Njegov nagrađivani kratki igrani film IZLAZ U SLUČAJU OPASNOSTI imao je svjetsku premijeru na festivalu Clermont Ferrand dok je u Cannesu prikazan 2017. godine u okviru programa Acid Trip. Zajedno sa Goranom Stankovićem je kreator, scenarista i reditelj igrane dramske serije JUTRO ĆE PROMENITI SVE. Reditelj je pet epizoda televizijske serije MAMA I TATA SE IGRAJU RATA, kao i pet epizoda serije DECA ZLA koja je imala premijeru na HBO MAX platformi.

E Based on real-life events, OPERATION SABRE tells the story of a year in Serbia following the killing of the nation’s prime minister outside a government building in 2003. The event was a turning point in Serbia’s political and social life. After the assassination, the country plunged into chaos, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency. While the public knows who killed the prime minister, and why, Danica, a young journalist, is investigating the forces behind the tragic event. At the same time, Boris, a police inspector, gradually discovers the shortcomings of an investigation that reveals a chain of corruption leading back to crimes committed in the 1990s. Uroš, a young criminal, becomes increasingly entangled with the criminal clan responsible for the assassination and finds it increasingly difficult to escape their grip.

Goran Stanković graduated with a master’s degree in directing from the American Film Institute in Los Angeles in 2014. His thesis film WAY IN RYE was nominated for the Student Academy Award for Best Narrative Short.

American Fiction / Američka fikcija

Zasnovan na romanu “Brisanje” Percivala Evertta, film AMERIČKA FIKCIJA duhovit je rediteljski prvenac Corda Jeffersona koji se konfrontira s opsesivnim impulsom naše kulture da ljude svodimo na naglašene stereotipe. Zvijezda filma je Jeffrey Wright u ulozi Monka, frustriranog književnika koji je umoran od toga što sistem profitira od “crnačke” zabave zasnovane na starim i uvrjedljivim klišejima. Kako bi dokazao svoju tvrdnju, Monk pod pseudonimom piše vlastitu “crnačku” knjigu koja ga smješta u središte hipokrizije i ludila koje tvrdi da prezire.

Cord Jefferson, nagrađivani scenarista i dobitnik Emmyja, radio je na nekim od najkompleksnijih i najpopularnijih serija posljednje decenije. AMERIČKA FIKCIJA s Jeffreyjem Wrightom u glavnoj ulozi njegov je rediteljski prvenac. Jefferson je za film napisao i scenarij zasnovan na romanu Percivala Everetta. U skorije vrijeme Jefferson je radio na više iznimno uspješnih televizijskih serija uključujući i seriju ČUVARI s kojom je osvojio Emmyja za izuzetan scenaristički rad na miniseriji. Također je radio na filozofsko-komičnoj seriji DOBRO MJESTO te globalno uspješnoj dramskoj seriji NASLIJEĐE. Među nagradama koje je osvojio za svoj rad ističu se dvije nagrade Američkog udruženja pisaca i NAACP Image nagrada.

E Based on “Erasure,” the novel by Percival Everett, AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut, which confronts the contemporary obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment making profits from Black entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish Black book of his own—a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

Cord Jefferson is an Emmy Award-winning writer who has worked on some of the most complex and popular series of the past decade.

Backup

Čovjek, zapušten, star, prestrašen, u kući sa prijateljem Goranom. Vani tumara besciljno, vidi neprijatelje u susjedima, došljacima. Ena, novinarka, dolazi u mjesto, snima priču o čuvarima baštine. Objektiv kamere otkriva Čovjeka, čudaka, koji sve to krijući posmatra. Njegovo “skrovište” je otkriveno. Sudar bolesti i stvarnosti. U kući je prijetnja, ratna ljubavnica, kaže đavo je došao po svoje. Olujna noć, sudbonosni susret. Boriti se, pobjeći ili se suočiti? I vratiti se?

Faruk Sokolović je rođen 1952. godine u Sarajevu. Prije rata na Televiziji Sarajevo režira desetine televizijskih drama i filmova različitih žanrova.

E A man—old, decrepit, terrified—in a house with his friend. Outside, he wanders aimlessly, seeing enemies in both neighbours and foreigners. Ena, a journalist, arrives in the village to film a story about heritage guardians. Through her camera lens, she discovers a strange man, watching in secret. His hiding place has been exposed. Ilness and reality clash. In the house, a threat appears: a wartime lover with the message that the devil has come to collect his due. A stormy night and fateful encounters. To run, or to fight and face it all? And what of return?

Faruk Sokolović was born in Sarajevo in 1952. Before the Yugoslav Wars, he directed dozens of television dramas and films for TV Sarajevo. During the conflict, he completed a number of projects for TV Sarajevo and, under Mebius Film productions, he made DTV ČIČAK, a programme for children and youth, and made notable documentary films shown throughout Europe and the series SARAJEVO BLUES.

Barton Fink

U New Yorku 1941. mladi scenarista Barton Fink postiže iznenadan uspjeh sa dramom koja slavi običnog čovjeka. To privlači pažnju Hollywooda i Barton dobija poziv da za Wallacea Beeryja napiše scenarij o hrvanju. Film BARTON FINK prati njegovu borbu sa spisateljskom blokadom, Hollywoodom i susjedom u hotelu u kojem živi, a koji ga upućuje u tamnu stranu hrvanja i života.

Joel i Ethan Coen, međunarodno poznati kao braća Coen, rade u tandemu od svoga prvog filma KRVAVO JEDNOSTAVNO s kojim su 1984. osvojili Glavnu nagradu Filmskog festivala Sundance. Braća svoje filmove pišu, režiraju i produciraju zajedno iako su do filma GANGSTERSKA PETORKA kao scenaristu i reditelja potpisivali isključivo Joela, a kao producenta isključivo Ethana. Njihovi filmovi uživaju veliko poštovanje kritičara, kao tandem su nominovani za petnaest nagrada Oskar, a pojedinačno za po još po jednu. Sa filmom FARGO osvojili su Oskara za najbolji originalni scenarij, dok im je film NEMA ZEMLJE ZA STARCE donio tri Oskara: za najbolji film, najbolju režiju i najbolji adaptirani scenarij. Godine 1991. u Cannesu su osvojili Zlatnu palmu za film BARTON FINK. Svaki od njihovih devet posljednjih fimova prikazan je na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu gdje su osvojili više prestižnih nagrada: Nagradu za najbolju režiju za filmove FARGO i ČOVJEK KOJI NIJE BIO TAMO i glavnu festivalsku nagradu za film U GLAVI LLEWYNA DAVISA. Posljednji put su sarađivali na filmu BALADA BUSTERA SCRUGGSA koji je premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji 2018. godine.

E Barton Fink, a young playwright in 1941 New York City, enjoys overnight success with a drama celebrating the common man. Hollywood takes notice and enlists him to write wrestling pictures for Wallace Beery. BARTON FINK chronicles his struggle with writer’s block, with Hollywood, and with the neighbour in his hotel who shows him something about the darker side of wrestling, and of life.

Joel and Ethan Coen, internationally known as the Coen brothers, have collaborated since their first film, BLOOD SIMPLE, which won the Grand Prix at Sundance Film Festival in 1984. They write, direct, and produce their films jointly, although until THE LADYKILLERS, Joel received sole credit for directing and Ethan for producing. Their films are critically acclaimed, and they have together been nominated for fifteen Academy Awards together, plus one individual nomination for each, winning Best Original Screenplay for FARGO and Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay for NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. They were Palme d’Or laureates in 1991 for BARTON FINK. They have presented nine of their films at the Festival de Cannes, often winning the most prestigious prizes: the Award for Best Director for FARGO and for THE MAN WHO WASN’T THERE, and the Grand Prix for INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS. Their most recent collaboration was on THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS, which had its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in 2018.

Thibaut je međunarodno proslavljeni dirigent koji putuje širom svijeta. Nakon što sazna da je usvojen, otkriva i da ima mlađeg brata Jimmyja koji radi u školskoj kafeteriji i svira trombon u malom limenom orkestru.

Grandpa Guru

Grandpa Guru je portretni dokumentarac koji eklektičnim stilom prikazuje kontinuitet rada benda Kultur Shock, s posebnim naglaskom na zanimljiv život, muziku i umjetnost njihova pjevača i frontmena Srđana Gine Jevđevića. U filmu pratimo Ginino duhovno putovanje u potrazi za vlastitim identitetom i mjestom u svijetu, nakon izlaska iz sarajevskog ratnog okruženja i dolaska u Seattle, gdje je upoznao Krista Novoselica iz grupe Nirvana i Jellu Biafru iz benda Dead Kennedys koji ga potiču da se nastavi baviti muzikom. Gina progone pitanje pripadnosti i osjećaj rastrganosti između života u Americi, Sarajeva i majke za koju je iznimno vezan.

Silvio Mirošničenko je rođen 1972. godine u Njemačkoj. Njegov film OPHODAR PRUGE osvojio je Nagradu za najbolji dokumentarni film na francuskom festivalu Cinerail 2004. godine, a EDO MAAJKA – SEVDAH O RODAMA Nagradu za najbolju montažu na Danima hrvatskog filma 2008. godine i Nagradu za najbolji film na DORF-u iste godine.

Prikazivao je filmove u raznim programima ZagrebDoxa, a triput je predstavljao Hrvatsku na Prix Europa u Berlinu.

E In an eclectic documentary style, GRANDPA GURU presents the continuity of the work of the band Kultur Shock, with special emphasis on the interesting life, music, and art of singer and frontman Srđan Gino Jevđević. The film follows Jevđević’s spiritual journey in search of his own identity and place in the world, after leaving Sarajevo during the Bosnian War and arriving in Seattle. There, he meets Krist Novoselic of Nirvana and Jello Biafra of the punk band Dead Kennedys, who persuade him to continue playing music. Jevđević is haunted by the question of belonging and the feeling of being torn between life in the United States, Sarajevo, and his mother and family.

Riki je konobar u posrnuloj ketering kompaniji. Njegov mizogini kolega i budući zet Ado želi spasiti firmu tako što će prebiti vrhunsku slastičarku Melisu, bivšu saradnicu, i natjerati je da ponovo radi s njima. Svi uposleni odbace plan kao totalno glup i besmislen. Međutim, Ado je uporni divljak i njegove kolege znaju da on neće stati dok ne bude silom zaustavljen. Riki je razapet između osjećaja za pravdu i normi u kojima tolerišemo familiju i prijatelje bez obzira na to šta oni rade.

Srđan Vuletić je režirao i pisao nagrađivane dugometražne i kratkometražne filmove: LJETO U ZLATNOJ DOLINI (Filmski festival u Rotterdamu – nagrada Tigar, Filmski festival u Sofiji – Nagrada žirija i FIPRESCI, Filmski festival u Torontu, Filmski festival u Pusanu, Anonimul Festival – najbolji scenarij), TEŠKO JE BITI FIN (Sarajevo Film Festival – Srce Sarajeva za najboljeg glumca, Mont Blanc – najbolji scenario); TROSKOK (Berlinale – najbolji kratki film Panorama selekcije).

GYM je njegov treći dugometražni film. Član je Evropske filmske akademije.

E Riki works for a struggling catering company. Ado, his misogynistic colleague and brother-in-law, wants to fix the business by beating up Melisa, a former co-worker who is a top cake-maker, to force her to work with them again. All the rest of the employees dismiss Ado’s plan as stupid and senseless. However, Ado is a stubborn savage, and his colleagues know he won’t give up unless he is stopped. Riki is divided between a sense of justice, and the norms through which we tolerate family and friends no matter what they do.

Florence želi upoznati svoga oca s Davidom, muškarcem u kojeg je ludo zaljubljena. Ali Davida Florence ne privlači i želi je baciti u zagrljaj svome prijatelju Willyju. Njih četvoro se nalaze u jednom restoranu usred nedođije.

Quentin Dupieux je rođen 1974. godine u Parizu. Kada je imao osamnaest godina, otkrio je film i kupio svoj prvi sintesajzer. Pod umjetničkim imenom Mr Oizo objavio je međunarodni hit-singl Flat Beat i nekoliko muzičkih albuma. Režirao je, montirao i komponovao muziku za svoj debitantski igrani film STEAK iz 2007. godine.

Nakon toga nastavlja snimati u Francuskoj, između ostalog i fimove INCROYABLE MAIS VRAI, koji je premijerno prikazan u Berlinu, te FUMER FAIT TOUSSER, koji je premijerno prikazan u Cannesu. Njegov najnoviji film DRUGI ČIN također je premijerno prikazan na ovogodišnjem festivalu u Cannesu.

E Florence wants to introduce David, the man with whom she is madly in love, to her father. But David isn’t attracted to Florence and wants to throw her into the arms of his friend Willy. The four meet in a restaurant in the middle of nowhere.

Quentin Dupieux was born in Paris in 1974. He discovered filmmaking at the age of eighteen, and in parallel bought his first synthesiser. As Mr Oizo, he released the international hit single “Flat Beat” and several albums. He directed, edited, and scored his debut feature-length film STEAK in 2007. It was followed by the absurdist horror film RUBBER and the comedy WRONG, which had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. His subsequent films include REALITY, which premiered at the Venice International Film Festival, and KEEP AN EYE OUT, the first film Dupieux shot in France. Further French productions followed, among them INCREDIBLE BUT TRUE, which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival, and SMOKING CAUSES COUGHING, which premiered at the Festival de Cannes.

Megdan: Između vode i vatre / Megdan: Between Water and Fire

Usred pulsirajućih taktova i haosa balkanskog noćnog života, Petar, nekadašnja vaterpolo zvijezda, danas radnik obezbjeđenja noćnog kluba, kreće u igru sa visokim ulozima kako bi spasio svoj vaterpolo klub od propadanja. Udružujući se sa Zekom, prevarantom sa sumnjivom reputacijom, Petar se kreće kroz mračni lavirint rivalstva i ličnih demona, riješen da povrati svoju slavu i spasi nasljeđe svog kluba. Dok roni sve dublje u mutne dubine balkanskog podzemlja, Petar otkriva da je linija između pobjede i poraza tanka kao površina vode, a sve je na kraju test snage duha u konačnoj borbi za iskupljenje.

Todor Chapkanov je režiser iz Sofije, Bugarska, koji je većinu svojih filmova režirao u Americi, Francuskoj i Holandiji. Najpoznatiji je po filmu BOYKA UNDISPUTED iz 2016. godine, akcionom filmu koji je dostupan na Netflixu, kao i po američko-holandskom akcionom trileru CRNI LOTOS i romantičnom francuskom filmu LOST & FOUND IN ROME. U Bugarskoj je njegov rad prepoznat na nacionalnoj televiziji serijom DARVOTO NA JIVOTA iz 2013. godine, a veliko nacionalno priznanje ostvario je režirajući dramsku seriju DRAGI NASLJEDNICI 2018. godine.

E Amidst the pulsating beats and chaos of Balkan nightlife, Petar, a former water polo star turned nightclub security guard, embarks on a high-stakes journey to rescue his drowning water polo club. Teaming up with Zeka, a hustler with a shady reputation, Petar navigates a labyrinth of rivalries and personal demons, determined to reclaim his glory and save his community’s legacy. As he dives deeper into the murky depths of the Balkan underworld, Petar discovers that the line between victory and defeat is as thin as the surfce of water, testing his resolve and spirit in the ultimate battle for redemption.

Todor Chapkanov is a director from Sofia who has directed most of his films in France, the Netherlands, and the United States. He is best known for the 2016 film BOYKA UNDISPUTED, available on Netflix, as well as for the US-Dutch action thriller BLACK LOTUS and the French romance LOST & FOUND IN ROME. In Bulgaria, he stood out on national television with the 2013 series DARVOTO NA JIVOTA, and he achieved great national recognition after directing the drama series DEAR HEIRS in 2018.

Nakon ljeta / My Late Summer

Kada Maja stigne na udaljeni otok kako bi riješila pitanje obiteljskog nasljedstva, ne očekuje da će se tamo zadržati duže nego što je planirala. U vrtlogu novonastalih emocija, kroz niz nepredviđenih situacija, Maja će se konačno suočiti s pitanjima iz svoje prošlosti. Mještani otoka žive svoj ustaljeno neobičan život, a tome posebno pridonose Ićo, načelnik mjesta, i Nediljko, njegov poslovni partner u uzgoju eko-marihuane. Tek nakon što se Maja zbliži sa Sašom postaju jasni razmjeri njenih neriješenih obiteljskih odnosa. Potraga za nasljedstvom postaje potraga za vlastitim identitetom, ali i oprostom.

Danis Tanović je rođen 1969. godine u Bosni i Hercegovini. Za svoj prvenac NIČIJA ZEMLJA nagrađen je za najbolji scenarij na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu 2001, a 2002. Oskarom za najbolji strani film. NIČIJA ZEMLJA osvojila je preko 50 nagrada na međunarodnim festivalima. Za filmove EPIZODA U ŽIVOTU BERAČA ŽELJEZA i SMRT U SARAJEVU Tanović je nagrađen Srebrenim medvjedom na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2013. i 2016. godine. Trenutno živi u Sarajevu.

E When Maja travels to a remote island to resolve family inheritance issues, she finds she must stay longer than she had planned. Overcome by new emotions, through a series of unforeseen situations Maja is finally forced to confront some issues from her past. Residents of the island live their usual unusual lives; contributing to this in particular are Mayor Ico and his partner in an eco-friendly marijuana-growing business. Only after she makes friends with Saša does the extent of Maja’s unresolved family issues become apparent. Her quest for inheritance becomes a quest for personal identity and forgiveness.

Danis Tanović was born in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1969. In 2001, he wrote and directed his debut feature, NO MAN’S LAND, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film.

Svemu dođe kraj / It All Ends Here

Ova ljubavna priča se događa u Zagrebu danas. Maks Pinter, uspješni advokat, oslobodio je svog klijenta, bogatog i moćnog Dinka Horvata od optužnice za dvostruko ubistvo. Na proslavi pijani Maks Dinku otvoreno reče da je ubica koji je hladnokrvno ustrijelio radnike koji su samo došli pitati za svoju plaću. Sukob s jednim od stupova društva učini ga nepoželjnim, gubi partnere i klijente, žena ga ostavi. No Maks se ne predaje. Uz pomoć Nine, ljubavi iz studentskih dana, kreće u borbu.

Rajko Grlić, rođen 1947. godine u Zagrebu, magistrirao je filmsku režiju na FAMU-u u Pragu. Tokom karijere režirao je i pisao scenarije za dvanaest igranih filmova.

Grlić je Ohio Eminent Scholar in Film na Univerzitetu Ohio u Athensu, Ohio, SAD.

E In Zagreb, prominent lawyer Maks Pinter successfully defends his client, the rich and powerful Dinko Horvat, of double homicide charges. As they celebrate the verdict, Maks openly accuses Dinko of shooting the two workers—who merely wanted to inquire about their salaries—in cold blood. As a result of this conflict with Dinko, who is a pillar of society, Maks is ostracised. He is abandoned by his business partner, his clients, and his wife. But he does not surrender, and goes on the offence with the help of Nina, his love from his college days.

Rajko Grlić was born in Zagreb in 1974 and holds a master’s degree in film directing from FAMU in Prague. Over the course of his career, he has written and directed twelve feature-length narrative films, which have been screened in cinemas around the world and have won awards at prestigious film festivals, including the Festival de Cannes.

You’ve Got Mail / Imaš poštu

Kathleen Kelly mrzi Joea Foxa, vlasnika lanca knjižara Fox koji uskoro otvara jednu od svojih podružnica preko puta njene male prodavnice dječijih knjiga. Međutim, nakon što se upoznaju na internetu, nesvjesni pravog identiteta onog drugog, njih dvoje započinju intenzivnu online romansu. U konačnici, Joe saznaje da je očaravajuća žena sa kojom je u vezi zapravo njegova poslovna suparnica. To ga prisiljava da pomiri animozitet koji osjeća prema njoj u stvarnom životu sa ljubavlju koju je pobudila u njemu u virtuelnom svijetu.

Nora Ephron je američka novinarka, književnica i filmska autorica koja je za svoga života – od 1941. do 2012. – osvojila brojne nagrade, uključujući nagradu BAFTA, tri nominacije za Oskara, Zlatni globus, Tonyja i tri nagrade Američkog udruženja pisaca. Ephronova je na početku karijere napisala scenarije za filmove SILKWOOD, LJUBAVNE OPEKOTINE i KADA JE HARRY SREO SALLY, od kojih joj je posljednji donio BAFTA nagradu za najbolji originalni scenarij, a Američko udruženje pisaca proglasilo ga je četrdesetim najboljim scenarijem svih vremena. Kao rediteljica je debitovala komičnom dramom TO JE MOJ ŽIVOT, a zatim je režirala filmove BESANI U SEATTLU i IMAŠ POŠTU, biografski film JULIE I JULIA i mnoge druge. Ephron je 2013. godine posthumno nominovana za Tonyja za najbolji dramski tekst za dramu “Sretnik”.

E Struggling boutique bookseller Kathleen Kelly hates Joe Fox, the owner of a corporate Foxbooks chain store that just moved in across the street. When they meet online, however, they begin an intense and anonymous internet romance, each oblivious of the other’s identity. Eventually, Joe learns the enchanting woman he’s involved with is actually his business rival. He must now struggle to reconcile his real-life dislike for her with the cyber-love he has come to feel.

Nora Ephron was born in 1941 and died in 2012. A US journalist, writer, and filmmaker, she received numerous accolades including a BAFTA, three Academy Award nominations, a Golden Globe Award, a Tony Award and three Writers Guild of America Awards. Ephron started her career writing the screenplays for SILKWOOD, HEARTBURN, and WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, the last of which earned the BAFTA for Best Original Screenplay and was ranked by the Writers Guild of America as the fortieth greatest screenplay of all time. She made her film directorial debut with the comedy-drama THIS IS MY LIFE, which was followed by the romantic comedies SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE and YOU’VE GOT MAIL and the biographical film JULIE & JULIA, among others. In 2013, Ephron received a posthumous Tony Award nomination for Best Play for “Lucky Guy.”

Uvod / Introduction

Trinaest je sretan broj. Za svoje trinaesto izdanje, Kinoscope program vodi vas na put oko svijeta. Uzbuđeni smo što ćemo sa vama, našom voljenom sarajevskom publikom, podijeliti filmove iz svih krajeva svijeta i produkcije iz dvadeset različitih država koje smatramo filmskim poduhvatima koji su obilježili proteklu godinu.

Priče koje ovi filmovi donose, bilo u igranoj ili u dokumentarnoj formi, relevantni su za trenutne diskusije, razgovore i teme. Nekonvencionalan i višeslojan pobjednički film ovogodišnjeg festivala u Berlinu BLAGO KRALJEVINE DAHOMEJ rediteljice Mati Diop omogućava prošlosti da sretne budućnost u sadašnjem vremenu. Dok se artefakti opljačkani u 19. vijeku spremaju za povratak kući u Benin, studenti raspravljaju o značaju tog povratka. Afričku priču donosi i prekrasni film reditelja Nelsona Carlosa De Los Santos Ariasa PEPE. Film u čijem središtu je nilski konj, koji je tuđin u tuđinskoj zemlji, gledaoce vodi na psihodelično putovanje između dva kontinenta, miješajući dokumentaristiku i fikciju.

Još jedan film fokusiran na životinje CRNI PAS reditelja Guana Hua, višestruko nagrađen u Cannesu, vizuelno je zapanjujuće istraživanje dirljive veze između čovjeka i psa. Sa radnjom smještenom na rub pustinje Gobi, film sadrži elemente film noir i western žanrova, pri čemu toj mješavini dodaje suhi humor.

PRIČA O SULEJMANU je film o tragičnoj sudbini kakvu svakodnevno čitamo u vijestima, a da je pri tome ne povezujemo s konkretnim ljudima. Četvrti film Borisa Lojkina, koji je osvojio Glavnu nagradu i Nagradu za najboljeg glumca programa Izvjestan pogled Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, majstorski je konstruisana, dinamična priča koja izaziva suze, a čija radnja je smještena u Parizu.

Prethodna godina bila je blistava i za indijsku kinematografiju, a obilježili su je prelomni filmovi o ženama i njihovim nastojanjima da potvrde svoje mjesto u indijskom društvu i izraze svoj stav o njemu kao rediteljice filmova. Prvi igrani film Payal Kapadije SVE ŠTO ZAMIŠLJAMO KAO SVJETLOST premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu odakle se vratio sa glavnom festivalskom nagradom. Film na duhovit i delikatan način govori o svakodnevnom životu žena, načinima na koje one donose odluke i posljedicama tih odluka. SANTOSH, film rediteljice Sandhye Suri kojeg je producirao prethodni selektor Kinoscope programa Mike Goodridge, priča je o ženi koja nakon iznenadne smrti svoga muža preuzima neočekivan posao. Radi se o

višeslojnom, neodoljivom igranom filmu koji razotkriva mutni svijet ruralne Indije. Ponosom nas ispunjava i odluka da predstavimo fimove o snažnim ženama koje se suprostavljaju zlostavljanju. Bilo da je riječ o izuzetno dirljivom dokumentarnom filmu Shiori Ito CRNA KUTIJA: DNEVNICI, u kojem je autorica, kao i u istoimenoj knjizi, dokumentovala pravnu bitku koju je vodila nakon što je preživjela zlostavljanje ili igranom filmu smještenom u svijet profesionalnog tenisa JULIE JE ODLUČILA DA ŠUTI mladog belgijskog reditelja Leonarda Van Dijla, oba filma nesumnjivo razotkrivaju koliko je teško progovoriti protiv zlostavljača na različitim pozicijama moći.

Prvi igrani filmovi uvijek su posebni, a često su i izvor želje njihovih autora da se bave filmom. Kinoscope program uvijek smo doživljavali kao sigurno gnijezdo za filmske autore u usponu, kao mjesto gdje oni mogu predstaviti svoje filmove, otkriti filmove svojih kolega, te se susresti i razgovarati sa publikom. Tu tradiciju nastavljamo i ove godine. Među prvencima koji su ušli u naš izbor nalaze se filmovi TOKSIČNO litvanske rediteljice Saule Bliuvaite i PITANJE VJEŠTINE njemačkog filmskog autora Willija Hansa. Oboje reditelja svojim prvim filmovima pristupili su sa nevjerovatnom samouvjerenošću i ambicijom, a rezultati koje su postigli su impresivni. Sigurni smo da ih očekuje sjajna budućnost.

U našoj žanrovskoj selekciji Kinoscope Surreal ovoga ljeta dočekujemo brojne čudne i strašne kreacije! Sarajevo će ugostiti vampire u filmovima HUMANISTIČKI NASTROJENA VAMPIRICA TRAŽI VOLJNU SUICIDALNU OSOBU rediteljice Ariane Louis-Seize i KADA PADNE NOĆ rediteljice Céline Rouzet. Iskusit ćemo i invaziju zombija u filmu Thea Hvistendahla POČIVALI U MIRU, čija radnja je smještena na malom izolovanom norveškom ostrvu. Renate Reinsve (NAJGORA OSOBA NA SVIJETU) uradit će sve što je u njenoj moći da odbije njihov napad. Osvajači su različiti, ali invazija je tema i intenzivnog akcionog filma GAMAD francuskog reditelja na početku karijere Sébastiana Veniceka.

Istraživanje specifičnog filmskog žanra prilika je da se istraže različiti putevi što je slučaj u mračnom i romantičnom filmu POJEDI NOĆ, o videoigri koja je pred gašenjem, rediteljskog dvojca Caroline Poggi i Jonathana Vinela. Njihov film savršen je primjer toga kako je tanka granica između stvarnoga života i videoigara, ali i sjajnih rezultata, kako estetskih tako i naracijskih, koji se mogu postići korištenjem videoigara u kinematografiji.

POSLJEDNJE ZAUSTAVLJANJE U OKRUGU YUMA, prvenac američkog filmskog autora Francisa Galluppija, čita se kao krvavi film B-produkcije koji se briljantno poigrava sa zakonitostima žanra, uz radnju koja se odvija gotovo u realnom vremenu. Njegov naslov, dijalozi i scene filmske su reference, očigledne za ljubitelje Tarantina, koje će sigurno ostaviti utisak na filmofile u našoj publici.

Program smo odlučili zatvoriti sedmim i najnovijim filmom proslavljenog reditelja i fantastičnog naratora, koji sa zadovoljstvom kontinuirano prilagođava svoj autorski izraz, Alaina Guiraudiea MISERICORDIA. Film je mješavina napete radnje, humora i dubokog poznavanja ljudske prirode.

Dokumentarni film PRESRETNUTI ukrajinske autorice Oksane Karpovych zasnovan je na presretnutim telefonskim razgovorima ruskih vojnika u Ukrajini sa članovima njihovih porodica. Film pruža originalan i dubok uvid u trenutni konflikt, što ga čini neizostavnim za gledanje.

Dok nastavljamo da težimo za svjetskim mirom, sa zadovoljstvom sa jedinstvenom publikom Sarajevo Film Festivala dijelimo niz istinski humanističkih filmova!

E Thirteen is a lucky number. For its thirteenth edition, the Kinoscope programme takes viewers on a trip around the globe. We are excited to share with you, our beloved Sarajevo audiences, films that, to us, are cinematic gestures that have marked the year, coming from the four corners of the world and twenty production countries.

The stories these films tell, whether fiction or documentary, resonate with today’s debates, conversations, and topics. Mati Diop’s unconventional and multi-layered DAHOMEY, which won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, enables the past to meet the future in the present: as traditional objects, looted in the nineteenth century, are sent back to their birthplace in Benin, students reflect upon their return. Another African story is the focus of the wonderful PEPE, directed by Nelson Carlos De Los Santos Arias. The film is a hallucinatory trip between two continents, weaving documentary and fiction, centered on a hippopotamus who is a stranger in a strange land.

From one animal to another, Guan HU’s BLACK DOG, which was a multi-award winner at the Festival de Cannes, is a visually stunning explo-

ration of the touching bond between a man and a dog. Set in the outskirts of the Gobi Desert, the film has elements of film noir and the Western genre, with deadpan humour added into the mix.

THE STORY OF SOULEYMANE is the story of a tragic destiny, like those we see in the news without ever attaching to a name. Set in Paris, this fourth film by Boris Lojkine, which received the Grand Prix and Best Actor awards in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes, is a masterfully crafted, intensely paced feature brings a tear to the eye.

Indian cinema had a glistening year, with watershed stories directed by women and talking about women reaffirming their position and taking a stance in Indian society. Payal Kapadia’s first fiction film, ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT, premiered in the Official Competition at Cannes and took home the Grand Prix. Humorour and delicate, it portrays the daily lives of women navigating their own decisions and the subsequent consequences. SANTOSH, directed by Sandhya Suri and produced by former Kinoscope programmer Mike Goodridge, features a woman taking on an unexpected job after the sudden death of her husband. It is a multi-layered, compelling story that shows the murky world of rural India.

We are also proud to program films featuring strong women standing up to harassment. In her profoundly moving documentary, Shiori Ito – herself a victim of abuse – has the courage to take on the whole process of her legal battle, which she documents it in a book and this film, BLACK BOX DIARIES, while in the realm of fiction, Belgian newcomer Leonardo Van Dijl considers harassment in the context of youth competitive tennis in JULIE KEEPS QUIET. Both films showcase the difficulties of speaking up against perpetrators within varying power dynamics.

First features are always special and often the origin of the cinematic vocation of the filmmaker. The Kinoscope programme has always been a nurturing space for emerging filmmakers to present their own films, discover each other’s, and meet the audience for discussion. This year is no different. Among the first features are TOXIC, directed by Lithuanian filmmaker Saulė Bliuvaitė, and SKILL ISSUE by German filmmaker Willy Hans. Both directors approach these first films with incredible confidence and ambition, and the results are impressive. We are certain they will continue down a brilliant path.

Our genre programme, Kinoscope Surreal, welcomes many strange and scary creatures this summer. Sarajevo will welcome vampires in the films HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON directed by Ariane LouisSeize, and a vampire in love in FOR NIGHT WILL COME directed by Céline Rouzet. A zombie invasion will occur in Thea Hvistendahl’s HANDLING THE UNDEAD, taking place on a small isolated island off the coast of Norway. Renate Reinsve (THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD) will do all she can to fight them off. In France, the invaders are of a different kind in the intense and action-packed VERMIN, directed by newcomer Sébastian Venicek.

Exploring genres also provides an occasion for unexpected journeys, such as one inside a video game that is nearing its end in the dark and romantic film EAT THE NIGHT by Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel. The film is a perfect example of how thin the border between real life and video games can become, and also how cinema can use video games with great results, both aesthetically and in terms of narrative.

Like a bloody B-movie that plays brilliantly with the codes of the genre, with its narration delivered in almost real time, is the intense THE LAST STOP IN YUMA COUNTY by first-time US filmmaker Francis Galluppi. The film’s title, dialogue, and scenes are cinematic references that are sure to resonate with our cinephile audience. Not to be missed if you are a Tarantino fan!

The programme closes with the latest opus by a renowned director and wonderful storyteller who is always joyfully re-inventing his cinema. Mixing suspense, humour, and a profound understanding of human nature is MISERICORDIA, Alain Guiraudie’s seventh film.

Finally, INTERCEPTED, by Ukrainian filmmaker Oksana Karpovych, is a documentary based on recordings of phone conversations, intercepted in 2022, between Russian soldiers in Ukraine and their families. It’s a very original concept and offers deep perspective on the current conflict, making it essential viewing.

As we continue to strive for world peace, we are pleased to share with the one and only Sarajevo Film Festival audience several profoundly humanistic films!

Akiplėša / Toksično / Toxic

Nakon što ju je napustila majka, trinaestogodišnja Maria prisiljena je živjeti s bakom u sumornom industrijskom gradu. Tokom nasilnih uličnih sukoba, Marija upoznaje svoju vršnjakinju Kristinu koja pokušava postati manekenka. Kako bi se zbližila sa Kristinom, Maria se upisuje u misterioznu školu manekenstva u kojoj se djevojke pripremaju za najveći regrutacijski događaj u regiji. Njen nedorečeni odnos sa Kristinom i intenzivno, kultu slično, okruženje škole manekenstva tjeraju Mariju da pokuša izgraditi vlastiti identitet.

Saulė Bliuvaitė diplomirala je 2018. godine na Odsjeku za filmsku režiju Litvanske akademije za muziku i pozorište. Sa kratkim filmom LIMOUSINE osvojila je Nagradu za najbolji kratki dokumentarac Filmskog festivala u Varšavi. Bliuvaitė je bila koscenaristica i komontažerka historijske drame ISAAC koja je 2020. nominovana za FIPRESCI nagradu na dodjeli Evropskih filmskih nagrada. TOKSIČNO, njen debitantski dugometražni film, premijerno je prikazan 2024. u zvaničnoj takmičarskoj selekciji Filmskog festivala u Locarnu.

E Abandoned by her mother, thirteen-year-old Maria is forced to live with her grandmother in a bleak industrial town. During a violent clash on the street, Maria meets Kristina, a girl of the same age who is striving to become a fashion model. In a bid to get closer to Kristina, Maria enrolls in a mysterious modelling school, where the girls are preparing for the biggest casting event in the region. Her ambiguous relationship with Kristina and the intense, cult-like environment of the modelling school launch Maria on a quest to discover her own identity.

Saulė Bliuvaitė graduated from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre’s Film Directing program in 2018. Her short film LIMOUSINE won the Best Short Documentary Award at the Warsaw Film Festival. Bliuvaitė is the co-writer and co-editor of the historical drama ISAAC, which was nominated for a FIPRESCI Prize at the European Film Awards in 2020. TOXIC, her debut feature-length film, had its premiere in the Official Selection of the Locarno Film Festival in 2024.

All We Imagine as a Light / Sve što zamišljamo kao svjetlost

U Mumbaiju rutinu medicinske sestre Prabhe remeti neočekivani poklon njenog otuđenog muža. Njena mlađa sustanarka Anu neuspješno pokušava pronaći mjesto u gradu gdje bi mogla biti intimna sa svojim momkom. Odlaskom u priobalni grad pronalaze prostor gdje mogu ispoljiti svoje strasti.

Black Box Diaries / Crna kutija: Dnevnici

Film CRNA KUTIJA: DNEVNICI prati rediteljicu i novinarku Shiori Ito dok hrabro istražuje seksualni napad koji je preživjela u pokušaju da pravdi privede svog uglednog napadača. U filmu koji se odvija poput trilera, kombinujući tajne snimke iz istrage, dokumentarne snimke i emotivna lična videosvjedočanstva, njena misija postaje prelomni slučaj u Japanu i razotkriva iznimno zastarjele društvene norme i pravosudni sistem te zemlje.

Shiori Ito je novinarka, književnica i autorica dokumentarnih filmova. U njenom fokusu prevashodno su rodno zasnovana ljudska prava. Suosnivačica je produkcijske kompanije Hanashi Films, sa sjedištima u Tokiju i Londonu, koja je, između ostalog, ostvarila suradnju s TV-kućama HNK, BBC i Al Jazeera. Shiori je 2017. napisala knjigu “Crna kutija” o vlastitom iskustvu silovanja. U knjizi je razotkrila seksizam japanskog društva i institucija, te sa njom osvojila Nagradu za najbolji novinarski rad Udruženja nezavisnih novinara Japana 2018. godine. Magazin Time ju je 2020. uvrstio na svoju listu stotinu najutjecajnijih osoba svijeta. CRNA KNJIGA: DNEVNICI njen je prvi dugometražni dokumentarac, a premijerno je prikazan 2024. na Filmskom festivalu Sundance.

E BLACK BOX DIARIES follows director and journalist Shiori Ito’s courageous investigation of her own sexual assault in an improbable attempt to prosecute her high-profile offender. Unfolding like a thriller and combining secret investigative recordings, vérité shooting, and emotional first-person video, Ito’s quest becomes a landmark case in Japan, exposing the country’s desperately outdated judicial and societal systems.

Shiori Ito is a journalist, writer, and documentary filmmaker. Her primary focus is gender-based human-rights issues. She co-founded Hanashi Films, a Tokyo- and London-based production company that has collaborated with NHK, BBC, and Al Jazeera, among other outlets. In 2017, Shiori wrote the book “Black Box,” based on her own experience of rape. The book reveals the sexism in Japan’s society and institutions, and won the Free Press Association of Japan Award for Best Journalism in 2018. In 2020, she was listed as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by “Time” magazine. BLACK BOX DIARIES, her feature-length documentary debut, had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024.

Dahomey / Blago Kraljevine Dahomej

Novembar 2021. Dvadeset i šest artefekata Kraljevine Dahomej sprema se napustiti Pariz i vratiti se u svoju postojbinu, današnju republiku Benin. Uz hiljade drugih artefakata, ova kulturna blaga pokrale su francuske kolonijalne trupe 1892. Ali kakav stav zauzeti o povratku kući ovoga blaga predaka u zemlji koja je morala nastaviti da se razvija bez njih? O toj temi raspravljaju studenti Univerziteta Abomey-Calavi.

Mati Diop je rođena 22. juna 1982. godine u Parizu. Njen prvi igrani film ATLANTICS osvojio je Veliku nagradu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, donijevši joj reputaciju jedne od vodećih predstavnica svjetske arthouse filmske scene i novog afričkog filmskog talasa u dijaspori. S dugometražnim dokumentarcem BLAGO KRALJEVINE DAHOMEJ osvojila je Zlatnog medvjeda na 74. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E November 2021. Twenty-six royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin, the present-day Republic of Benin. Along with thousands of others, these artefacts were plundered by French colonial troops in 1892. But what attitude to adopt to the homecoming of these ancestors in a nation that has had to forge ahead in their absence? The debate rages among students at the University of Abomey-Calavi.

Mati Diop was born in Paris in 1982. Her first feature, ATLANTICS, winner of the Grand Prix at the Festival de Cannes, established her as a leading figure of international art-house cinema and of a new wave in African and diasporic cinema. Her feature-length documentary DAHOMEY won the Golden Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2024.

Der Fleck / Pitanje vještine / Skill Issue

Nakon što pobjegne sa časa fizičkog vaspitanja, Simon završava na obali rijeke sa grupom tinejdžera. Vrući ljetni dan provode bezbrižno čavrljajući, a vrijeme teče jednako sporo kao rijeka kraj koje su okupljeni. Tek nakon što dođe Marie i sa Simonom, usljed neočekivanog incidenta, završi u obližnoj šumi pored rijeke, Simon se odvaja od svog letargičnog društva i ulazi u prelazni bezvremeni međuprostor začaranog riječnog krajolika.

Willy Hans je na Hamburškom univerzitetu za lijepe umjetnosti studirao film u klasi profesora Angele Schanelec i Wima Wendersa. Još tokom studija njegovi filmovi su prikazani na brojnim filmskim festivalima i osvojili su nekoliko nagrada poput nagrade Tigar za kratki film koju je osvojio nakon premijere na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Cannesu, te dvije nominacije za Njemačku filmsku nagradu za kratki film. Njegov kratki film WAS WAHRSCHEINLICH PASSIERT WÄRE, WENN ICH NICHT ZU HAUSE GEBLIEBEN WÄRE premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji 2020. godine. Njegov debitantski dugometražni film PITANJE VJEŠTINE premijerno je prikazan u programu Concorso Cineasti Del Presente Filmskog festivala u Locarnu.

E After escaping gym class, Simon finds himself on the banks of a river with a group of teenagers. In the heat of the summer day amid all the pointless chatter, time passes as sluggishly as the waters of the river. When Marie appears, and she and Simon are catapulted into the forest near the river by an unexpected incident, the two escape the lethargic group and enter the timeless intermediate realm of the enchanted landscape.

Willy Hans studied at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts, specialising in film under Angela Schanelec and Wim Wenders. During his studies, his films were shown at many international film festivals and won several prizes, including the Short Tiger Award in 2013, premiered at the Festival de Cannes, and were twice nominated for German Short Film Awards. The short film WHAT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HADN’T STAYED AT HOME had its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in 2020. His debut feature-length film, SKILL ISSUE premiered at the Locarno Film Festival in the Concorso Cineasti del Presente.

Eat the Night / Pojedi noć

Sitni diler Pablo i njegova sestra, tinejdžerka Apollina, razvili su neraskidivu vezu zahvaljujući zajedničkoj opsesiji online videoigrom Darknoon. Kada se Pablo zaljubi u misterioznu Night (Noć), postaje preokupiran odnosom sa njom i ostavlja svoju sestru da se sama suoči sa skorašnjim gašenjem njihovog digitalnog raja. Kada Pablovi nesmotreni izbori izazovu bijes konkurentske bande, kraj njihovog virtuelnog života bliži se kraju, što u potpunosti remeti njihovu stvarnost.

Caroline Poggi je rođena 1990. godine u Ajacciju na Korzici. Studirala je na Korzikanskom univerzitetu, a diplomirala na Univerzitetu Pariz 8. Jonathan Vinel rođen je 1988. u Tuluzu. Studirao je montažu na Državnom univerzitetu La Femis u Parizu.

Njihov film BORBA NOŽEVIMA NAKON ŠKOLE je 2018. uvršten u program Critics’ Week Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Njihov najnoviji dugometražni film POJEDI NOĆ premijerno je prikazan 2024. u programu 15 dana autora Filmskog festivala u Cannesu.

E Pablo, a small-time dealer, and his teenage sister Apolline have forged an unbreakable bond through their shared obsession with the online video game Darknoon. When Pablo falls for the mysterious Night, he gets swept up in their liaison, abandoning his sister to deal with the impending shutdown of their digital haven on her own. As Pablo’s reckless choices provoke the wrath of a dangerous rival gang, the end of their virtual life draws near, upending their reality.

En Attendant La Nuit / Kada padne noć / For Night Will Come

Nakon preseljenja u novo susjedstvo, članovi porodice Feral odluče se ponašati kao sasvim obični, prijateljski raspoloženi ljudi. Ali njihov sin Philemon nije običan adolescent. Njegova žeđ za krvlju raste nakon što se sprijatelji sa svojom novom susjedom Camilom i postaje nemoguće sakriti koliko je on zapravo neobičan.

Céline Rouzet je producirala brojne dokumentarce za Francuski državni radio te je režirala dugometražni dokumentarni film UDALJENI UDAR U DŽUNGLI, prikazan na brojnim međunarodnim filmskim festivalima, a tematizira sukob kultura i neokolonijalizam u Papui Novoj Gvineji.

Gou Zhen / Crni pas / Black Dog

Lang se po odsluženju zatvorske kazne vraća u rodni grad na rubu pustinje Gobi u sjeverozapadnoj Kini. Dok radi za lokalnu šintorsku patrolu na čišćenju grada od pasa lutalica uoči Olimpijskih igara, neočekivano se snažno povezuje sa jednim crnim psom. Njih dvoje, dvije usamljene duše, zajedno kreću vlastitim putem. Lang odluči da je vrijeme da nešto poduzme, ne samo kako bi spasio što više pasa lutalica nego i da bi spasio vlastitu dušu.

Guan Hu je diplomirao na Odsjeku za režiju Filmske akademije u Pekingu. Domaći i lokalni filmski kritičari opisuju ga kao jednog od najsamouvjerenijih filmskih autora, a generalno se smatra jednim od pionira šeste generacije kineskih reditelja. Guan Hu je ostavio trag na međunarodnoj sceni filmom KRAVA koji je 2009. uvršten u selekciju programa Horizonti Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji i osvojio nagradu Zlatni konj za najbolji prilagođeni scenarij. Zbog svoje orijentalne teksture i eksperimentalnih tehnika, njegov film iz 2013. KUHAR, GLUMAC, NITKOV doživljen je kao novi tip kineskog filma. Njegov film GOSPODIN ŠEST zatvorio je festival u Veneciji 2015. te je osvojio brojne nagrade u zemlji i inostranstvu. Njegov najnoviji film CRNI PAS premijerno je prikazan 2024. u selekciji Izvjestan pogled festivala u Cannesu.

E On the edge of the Gobi desert in northwestern China, Lang returns to his hometown after being released from jail. While working for the local dog patrol team to clear the town of stray dogs before the Olympic Games, he strikes up an unlikely connection with a black dog. These two lonely souls embark on a new journey together. Lang decides it is time to take action, not only to save as many stray dogs as he can, but also to fight for the redemption of his soul.

Guan Hu graduated from the Department of Directing of the Beijing Film Academy. He is seen as one of China’s most assertive directors by both domestic and international film critics, and is regarded as one of the pioneers of the Sixth Generation of Chinese film directors. IN 2009, Guan made his mark on the international scene with COW, which was selected for the Horizons programme at the Venice International Film Festival and won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the Golden Hors Film Awards. In 2013, THE CHEF, THE ACTOR, THE SCOUNDREL was seen as a new type of Chinese film with its strong oriental texture and experimental techniques. In 2015, MR. SIX was the closing film at Venice, and ut won numerous domestic and international awards. His most recent film, BLACK DOG, had its premiere in the Un Certain Regard section of this year’s Festival de Cannes.

Håndtering av udøde / Počivali u miru / Handling the Undead

Jednog vrelog ljetnog dana u Oslu mrtvi se misteriozno bude, a životi tri porodice pretvaraju se u haos nakon što im se njihovi voljeni pokojnici vrate. Ko su oni i šta žele? Jedna porodica pokušava shvatiti uskrsnuće njihove majke prije nego što su stigli prežaliti njenu pogibiju u saobraćajnoj nesreći, jednoj starici vraća se ljubav njenog života svega dan nakon što ju je ukopala, a jedan deda spašava svoje unuče iz groba u očajničkom pokušaju da izvuče svoju kćer iz depresije. Zasnovan na knjizi Johna Ajvida Lindqvista, POČIVALI U MIRU je dramski film s elementima horora, priča o tri porodice, o tuzi i gubitku, ali također i o nadi i prihvatanju stvari i situacija koje ne možemo shvatiti niti kontrolisati.

Thea Hvistendahl je izgradila ugled kao kreativna i oštroumna naratorica, izraženog vizuelnog stila i osvojila je više nagrada za svoje kratke filmove i muzičke spotove. Njen dosadašnji opus obuhvata kratki film SATANS BARN, s kojim je osvojila nagradu Méliès d’Argent na Sitges Film Festivalu, te dugometražni hibridni film ADJØ MONTEBELLO koji je 2017. premijerno prikazan u norveškim kinima u sklopu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Göteborgu, te je osvojio naklonost filmskih kritičara. POČIVALI U MIRU je njen debitantski igrani film.

E On a hot summer day in Oslo, the dead mysteriously awaken, and three families are thrown into chaos when their deceased loved ones come back to them. Who are they, and what do they want? One family is faced with the mother’s reawakening before they have mourned her death; an elderly woman gets the love of her life back the same day she buried her; a grandfather rescues his grandchild from the gravesite in a desperate attempt to help his daughter out of her depression. Based on a book by John Ajvide Lindqvist, HANDLING THE UNDEAD is a drama with elements of horror about three families—a story about grief and loss, and also about hope and the understanding of what we cannot comprehend or control.

Thea Hvistendahl has established herself as a creative and sharp storyteller with a strong visual style and has won several prizes for her short films and music videos. Her credits include the short film CHILDREN OF SATAN, which won the Méliès d’Argent Award at the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, and the long-form hybrid film THE MONKEY AND THE MOUTH, which had its premiere at the Göteborg International Film Festival in 2017, when it drew rave reviews. HANDLING THE UNDEAD is Hvistendahl’s debut feature.

Intercepted / Presretnuti

Ukrajinska obavještajna služba presrela je hiljade telefonskih poziva ruskih vojnika s ukrajinske linije fronta upućenih njihovim porodicama i prijateljima u Rusiji. Sadržaj tih poziva, na vrtoglavo napet i emotivan način, oslikava svu okrutnost rata. Upareni sa prizorima razaranja usljed invazije i svakodnevnog života Ukrajinaca koji obnavljaju porušeno i suprotstavljaju se okupaciji, glasovi ruskih vojnika – od onih ispunjenih iluzijama o herojstvu do onih potpuno razočaranih i neracionalnih, kao i onih koji govore o pljačci i činjenju sve užasnijih ratnih zločina ili šire propagandu, izražavaju sumnju i razočarenje – otkrivaju čitav spektar dehumanizirajuće moći rata i imperijalističku prirodu ruske agresije.

Oksana Karpovych je ukrajinsko-kanadska filmska umjetnica, spisateljica i fotografkinja rođena u Kijevu. Završila je kulturalne studije na Akademiji Kijev-Mohila u Ukrajini te je diplomirala filmsku produkciju na Univerzitetu Concordia u Montrealu. Njen prvi dugometražni dokumentarac DON’T WORRY, THE DOORS WILL OPEN osvojio je nagradu New Visions na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Montrealu 2019. te Specijalnu nagradu na Hot Docs festivalu 2020. godine. Njen najnoviji dokumentarac PRESRETNUTI premijerno je prikazan 2024. godine u programu Forum Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E Ukrainian intelligence services have intercepted thousands of phone calls Russian soldiers made from the battlefield in Ukraine to their families and friends in Russia — calls that paint a stark picture of the cruelty of war with dizzying emotional tension. Juxtaposed with images of the destruction caused by the invasion and the day-to-day life of the Ukrainian people who resist and rebuild, these voices of Russian soldiers – ranging from being filled with heroic illusions to complete disappointment and loss of reason, from looting to committing more horrible war crimes, from propaganda to doubt and disillusionment – expose the full scope of the dehumanising power of war and the imperialist nature of the Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Oksana Karpovych is a Ukrainian-Canadian filmmaker, writer, and photographer born in Kyiv. She graduated with degrees in cultural studies gradate from the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy in Ukraine and film production from Concordia University in Montreal. Her first feature-length documentary, DON’T WORRY, THE DOORS WILL OPEN, won the New Visions Award at the Montreal International Documentary Film Festival (RIDM) in 2019 and received a special mention at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Film Festival in 2020. INTERCEPTED, her most recent documentary, had its premiere in the Forum section of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2024.

L’Histoire de Souleymane / Priča o Sulejmanu / The Story of Souleymane

Dok pedala ulicama Pariza i dostavlja hranu, Sulejman sam sebi ponavlja vlastitu priču. Za dva dana Sulejmanu je zakazan intervju za prijavu za dobijanje azila, ključan za dobijanje dokumenata. Ali Sulejman nije spreman za intervju.

Boris Lojkine je diplomirao filozofiju na fakultetu École Normale Supérieure. Nakon toga je otišao u Vijetnam gdje je prethodno živio i naučio lokalni jezik. Tamo snima dva kratka dokumentarna filma –CEUX QUI RESTENT i LES ÂMES ERRANTES – u kojima je ispričao vijetnamsku stranu priče o žalovanju muškaraca i žena čije živote je razorio rat. U prvom dugometražnom filmu S NADOM fokus prebacuje na drugi kontinent kako bi uronio u priču afričkih migranata. Film je prikazan u programu Sedmica kritike Filmskog festivala u Cannesu i osvojio je desetine nagrada na međunarodnim festivalima. S filmom CAMILLE 2019. osvaja Nagradu publike u programu Piazza Grande Filmskog festivala u Locarnu. PRIČA O SULEJMANU, njegov treći film, 2024. je prikazan u programu Izvjestan pogled festivala u Cannesu.

E As he pedals through the streets of Paris delivering meals, Souleymane repeats his story to himself. In two days, he has to go through his asylum application interview, the key to obtaining papers. But Souleymane is not ready.

Boris Lojkine graduated from studies in philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, then departed for Vietnam, where he had previously lived and learnt the language. There, he made two short documentary films, CEUX QUI RESTENT and LES ÂMES ERRANTES, both of which examine, from the Vietnamese point of view, the impossible mourning of men and women whose lives have been torn apart by war. With HOPE, his first feature-length film, he changed continents, immersing himself in the Africa of migrants. The film was presented in the Critics’ Week at the Festival de Cannes and received dozens of awards from international festivals. In 2019, CAMILLE won the Audience Award at the Locarno Film Festival. Presented in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes in 2024, THE STORY OF SOULEYMANE is Lojkine’s third feature film.

Miséricorde / Misericordia

Jérémie se vraća u svoje rodno selo kako bi prisustvovao sahrani bivšeg šefa, seoskog pekara. Odlučuje ostati u selu nekoliko dana s pokojnikovom udovicom Martine. Jérémiev boravak u selu poprima neočekivan tok zahvaljujući jednom misterioznom nestanku, prijetećem susjedu i svećeniku čudnih namjera.

Alain Guiraudie je rođen 1964. godine u porodici poljoprivrednika u Villefranche-de-Rouergueu na jugozapadu Francuske, gdje je smještena radnja većine njegovih filmova. Njegov najuspješniji film STRANAC KRAJ JEZERA osvojio je Nagradu za najbolju režiju u programu Izvjestan pogled Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, kao i nagradu Queer Palma. Još tri njegova filma uvrštena su u selekciju programa 15 dana autora festivala u Cannesu, dok je njegov film OSTATI VERTIKALAN prikazan u zvaničnom takmičarskom programu festivala 2016. godine. Njegov najnoviji film MISERICORDIA prikazan je 2024. u festivalskom programu Cannes Premiere.

E Jérémie returns to his hometown for the funeral of his former boss, the village baker. He decides to stay for a few days with Martine, the late man’s widow. A mysterious disappearance, a threatening neighbour, and a priest with strange intentions make Jérémie’s short stay in the village take an unexpected turn.

Alain Guiraudie was born in 1964, a son of a farming family in Villefranche-de-Rouergue in the southwest of France, where most of his films are set. His most successful film to date, STRANGER BY THE LAKE, won the Best Director Award in the Un Certain Regard section at the Festival de Cannes, as well as the Queer Palm. Three of his other feature films have been selected for the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes, and STAYING VERTICAL screened in the Official Competition in 2016. MISERICORDIA, Guiraudie’s most recent film, was screened in the Cannes Premiere section in 2024.

Glas koji tvrdi da pripada nilskom konju. Glas koji ne razumije strukturalnu percepciju vremena. Glas koji u transu prolazi kroz jezike jednog historijskog događaja. “Da li taj zvuk koji izlazi iz mojih usta pripada meni?” “Još konkretnije, šta su to usta?” Jedino što zasigurno zna jeste da je mrtav. Prvi i posljednji nilski konj ubijen na američkom kontinentu. Kroz niz susreta, nesporazuma, prosvjetljenja i tuge, stižemo u svijet pun priča koje u sebi sadrže mnoštvo drugih priča, slika i zvukova koji na ozbiljan, zaigran, autentičan i lažan način prenose bogatu oralnu kulturu gradova koji su, poput Pepea, izgrađeni od bića koja su umrla, a da nikada nisu otkrila gdje su zapravo bili.

Nelson Carlos De Los Santos Arias studirao je film na Univerzitetu za film u Buenos Airesu i na Koledžu za umjetnost u Edinburgu, a zvanje magistra stekao je na Kalifornijskom institutu za umjetnost. Njegov prvi kratki film SHESAID HEWALKS HESAID SHEWALKS 2009. godine je osvojio škotsku BAFTA nagradu. Njegov prvi dokumentarac PARECES UNA CARRETA DE ESAS QUE NO LA PARAN NI LOS BUEYES uvršten je u postavku prestižne izložbe latinoameričke umjetnosti u Guggenheim muzeju u SAD-u. Njegov naredni igrani film COCOTE premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu gdje osvaja Zlatnog leoparda. Svoj najnoviji film PEPE premijerno je prikazao na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu gdje je nagrađen Srebrenim medvjedom za najbolju režiju.

E A voice that claims to be that of a hippopotamus. A voice that does not understand the structural perception of time. A voice that, in a trance, goes across the languages of a historical event. “Is that my sound that comes out of my mouth?” Or, specifically, “What is a mouth? The only thing he knows for sure is that he is dead. The first and last hippopotamus killed in the Americas. Between encounters and misunderstandings, epiphanies and sadness, we arrive in a world full of stories replete with more stories; images and sounds that narrate, in a serious, playful, authentic, and false way the overwhelming orality of these towns that, like Pepe, were made up of beings who died without ever knowing where they really were.

Nelson Carlos De Los Santos Arias studied cinema at Universidad del cine in Buenos Aires and the Edinburgh College of Art, and received his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. SHESAID HEWALKS HESAID SHEWALKS, his first short film, was awarded a BAFTA Scotland Award in 2009. His first documentary, YOU LOOK LIKE A CARRIAGE THAT NOT EVEN THE OXEN CAN STOP, was included in the Under the Same Sun: Art from Latin America Today exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. His next feature film, COCOTE, had its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival, where it won the Golden Leopard. IN 2024, PEPE premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Bear for Best Director.

Santosh

Zahvaljujući programu vlade, skorašnja udovica Santosh nasljeđuje posao svoga pokojnog muža koji je radio kao policijski poručnik u pustinjskim predjelima sjeverne Indije. Nakon ubistva djevojke iz niže kaste, karizmatična policijska inspektorica, feministica Sharma, uvlači Santosh u istragu tog zločina. Obična žena se iz domaćice pretvara u policajku u jednoj od najkorumpiranijih policijskih jedinica u Indiji. Tokom istrage ubistva, Santosh počinje eksperimentisati s vlastitim novostečenim moćima u okruženju koje karakterišu mizoginija, kastinska svijest i predrasude.

Sandhya Suri je britansko-indijska scenaristica i rediteljica s adresom stanovanja u Londonu. Njen prvi kratki igrani film THE FIELD proglašen je najboljim stranim kratkim filmom na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu 2018. te je nominovan za BAFTA nagradu za najbolji kratki film. Njen dugometražni dokumentarac I FOR INDIA premijerno je prikazan u međunarodnom takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala Sundance. SANTOSH, njen debitantski dugometražni igrani film, premijerno je prikazan 2024. u programu Izvjestan pogled Filmskog festivala u Cannesu.

E A government scheme sees newly widowed Santosh inherit her husband’s job as a police constable in the rural badlands of northern India. When a lower-caste girl is murdered, Santosh is pulled into the investigation by Sharma, a charismatic, feminist inspector. In this crime story, an ordinary woman moves from housewife to policewoman in one of the nation’s most corrupt forces. As she investigates, she begins to experiment with her newly found power within a web of misogyny, casteism, and prejudice.

Sandhya Suri is a British-Indian writer-director based in London. THE FIELD, her first short fiction film, was named Best International Short Film at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018, and was nominated for the BAFTA for Best Short Film. Her feature-length documentary I FOR INDIA had its premiere in the World Competition at the Sundance Film Festival. SANTOSH, her debut feature, premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of the Festival de Cannes in 2024.

The Last Stop in Yuma County / Posljednje zaustavljanje u Okrugu Yuma

Nakon što zaglavi na putu, putujući trgovac noževima prisiljen je čekati na jednom seoskom imanju. Iznenada se nađe u nasilnoj talačkoj krizi kada na imanje stignu dva pljačkaša banaka, u bjekstvu poslije posljednjeg obavljenog posla.

Francis Galluppi filmski je stvaralac koji živi u Los Angelesu. Njegov autorski stil odraz je “uradi sam” mentaliteta budući da je na svim svojim dosadašnjim filmovima istovremeno radio kao scenarista, reditelj, producent, montažer i autor muzike. Sa prvim kratkim filmom PAKAO PUSTINJE HIGH osvojio je više nagrada, uključujući nagradu Wes Craven Filmskog festivala Catalina 2019. godine. Njegov naredni film PROJEKT GEMINI osvojio je Nagradu za najbolji kratki naučnofantastični film na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Burbanku 2020. godine. POSLJEDNJE ZAUSTAVLJANJE U OKRUGU YUMA njegov je dugometražni rediteljski prvenac.

E A travelling knife salesman is stranded and forced to wait at a rural rest stop. Suddenly, he finds himself in the middle of a violent hostage situation upon the arrival of two bank robbers who are on the run after a recent heist.

Francis Galluppi is based in Los Angeles. His style embodies a do-it-yourself mindset, as he has written, directed, produced, edited, and scored all of his own films. His first short film, HIGH DESERT HELL, won several awards, including the Wes Craven Award at the Catalina Film Festival. THE GEMINI PROJECT, his follow-up film, was named Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Short Film at the Burbank International Film Festival. THE LAST STOP IN YUMA COUNTY marks his feature-length directorial debut.

Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal

Mlada vampirica Sasha ima ozbiljan problem: previše je osjetljiva da bi nekoga ubila. Kada joj njeni očajni roditelji uskrate zalihe krvi, Sashin život je ugrožen. Srećom, upoznaje Paula, usamljenog tinejdžera sa samoubilačkim tendencijama koji je voljan odreći se vlastitog života kako bi spasio njen. Ali njihov prijateljski dogovor ubrzo prerasta u noćni pohod u nastojanju da se ostvari Paulova posljednja želja prije nego što svane dan.

Ariane Louis-Seize je filmska autorica iz Montreala. Debitovala je kao rediteljica sa kratkim filmom LA PEAU SAUVAGE koji je prikazan na više od pedeset filmskih festivala širom svijeta i višestruko nagrađivan. Nakon toga snimila je film LES PETITES VAGUES koji je premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. Godine 2018. napisala je i režirala film LES PROFONDEURS, a godinu dana kasnije film COMME UNE COMÈTE. Oba ova filma premijerno su prikazana na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu. HUMANISTIČKI NASTROJENA VAMPIRICA TRAŽI VOLJNU SUICIDALNU OSOBU njen je prvi dugometražni film.

E Sasha is a young vampire with a serious problem: she’s too sensitive to kill. When her exasperated parents cut off her blood supply, Sasha’s life is in jeopardy. Luckily, she meets Paul, a lonely teenager with suicidal tendencies who is willing to give his life to save hers. But their friendly agreement soon becomes a nocturnal quest to fulfill Paul’s last wishes before day breaks.

Ariane Louis-Seize is a Montreal-based filmmaker. She made her directorial debut with her short film WILD SKIN, which travelled to more than fifty festivals around the world and won several awards. She then shot LITTLE WAVES, which had its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival. In 2018, Louis-Seize wrote and directed THE DEPTHS, followed by SHOOTING STAR in 2019. Both films premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON is her feature-length directorial debut.

Vermines / Gamad / Vermin

Kaleb je mladić koji za život zarađuje povremenim poslovima. Fasciniran je egzotičnim životinjama te na pijaci pronalazi otrovnog pauka i donosi ga kući. U tren oka, pauk uspijeva pobjeći i reproducirati se, pretvarajući Kalebovu zgradu u užasnu, premreženu zamku. Policija okružuje zgradu ostavljajući njene stanovnike u klopci. Ako žele preživjeti, Kaleb i njegovi prijatelji moraju pronaći izlaz.

Sébastien Vaniček francuski je filmski stvaralac i autor nekoliko kratkih filmova. GAMAD, njegov dugometražni rediteljski prvenac, prvi put je prikazan na specijalnoj projekciji kojom je 2023. zatvorena Međunarodna sedmica kritike festivala u Veneciji.

E Kaleb is a young adult who makes a living with petty jobs. Fascinated by exotic animals, he finds a poisonous spider at a bazaar and brings it back to his flat. It only takes a moment for the creature to escape and reproduce, turning the place into a dreadful web trap. Meanwhile, the police lock down the building where the residents have been ambushed. Kaleb and his mates must find a way out if they are to survive.

Sébastien Vaniček is a French filmmaker with several short films to his credit. VERMIN, his featurelength directorial debut, had its premiere as the special event closing film of the Settimana Internazionale della Critica at the Venice International Film Festival in 2023.

European Shorts

Ovogodišnja selekcija European Shorts programa, u skladu sa našom tradicijom, prilagođena je duhu vremena te predstavlja svježa, domišljata umjetnička rješenja i ističe raznolikost i talenat evropskih filmskih stvaralaca koji pomjeraju granice filma. Svaki film u selekciji vodi nas u specifičan i jedinstven svijet istražujući teme koje snažno odjekuju u današnjem vremenu.

Utonut ćete u ledenu poljsku stvarnost u filmu ZIMA Tomasza Popakula. U filmu, zaglavljena u zaleđenom, klaustrofobičnom ribarskom seocetu, Anka vrijeme provodi s mačkama. I Isusom. Ovaj kratki animirani film zapanjujuća je slika vremena satkana od vješto isprepletenih interakcija ljudi i životinja i odražava delikatni balans između toplih i emotivno okrutnih odnosa u zajednici. Kako se jezero zamrzava, potisnute emocije se uzdižu, postavljajući scenu za magičan, ali i prijeteći Božić.

Činit će vam se da se vozite uokolo sa protagonistima fima NAFURA Paula Heintza čija radnja je smještena u Saudijskoj Arabiji. Film prati tri prijatelja dok krstare kroz noć, razgovarajući o vlastitom osjećaju (ili nedostatku osjećaja) pripadanja i razotkriva hipokriziju navodne modernizacije njihovog društva. Autor filma posegnuo je za hibridnim estetskim rješenjima kako bi kreirao organski, jeziv, zamršen film koji je naglavačke preokrenuo žanr filma ceste. Teleportirat ćete se u hirurški precizan, a ipak nježan portret neurotičnog “energetskog računovođe“ u filmu Marie-Magdalene Kochove 3MWH. Snimljen na filmskoj traci, ovaj kratki film bavi se pitanjima opstanka, obnove i ljudske ekološke svijesti.

Uzdići ćete se među oblake nastajuće svjesne umjetne inteligencije u filmu OAZA KAKVU ZASLUŽUJEM autorice Inès Seuille. Ovaj eksperimentalni dokumentarac slama srce predstavljajući perspektivu Replika, konverzacijskih robota, koji sa ljudima komuniciraju samo putem Interneta. Dok svjedočimo mukama robota u videima koje je generisala umjetna inteligencija, otkrivamo najmračniju stranu ljudske prirode, a ne umjetne inteligencije.

Neumorno ćete tražiti utjehu diljem istočne Evrope i Kavkaza u filmu AVITAMINOZA rediteljice Kateryne Ruzhyne. Tokom pandemije i rata koji je uslijedio u Ukrajini, Kateryina je bila prisiljena raditi u prevarantskom call centru i kupcima prodavati navodno “čudotvorne“ vitamine. Dok joj je taj posao pomogao da finansijski preživi, mjeseci koje je provela u izolaciji, nervozni kupci, raseljenost i ranjeno srce doveli su je do neizbježnog sloma i gubitka iluzija. Film pruža uvid u lomljivost mladih generacija i njihovu potragu za izlječenjem i ljubavlju u sve tješnjem svijetu.

Apsurdan osjećaj olakšanja miješa se sa zabrinjavajućim egzistencijalnim strahom dok lagano surfate u filmu Ulua Brauna PACIFIČKA ŽILA. Autor se u ovom kratkom filmu poslužio eksperimentalnim vizuelnim prikazima kako bi istražio odnos između ljudi i prirode, pozabavio se ekološkim temama i pitanjem utjecaja ljudske aktivnosti na naše prirodno okruženje te štetnim utjecajem hiperkapitalizma na ljudsku psihu.

Pridružite se čudnom turskom odmoru u filmu Nicolasa Keppensa LIJEPI MUŠKARCI koji prati

Bianca Lucas

trojicu ćelave braće koja putuju u Istanbul na presađivanje kose. Dok su prisiljeni boraviti zajedno u hotelu daleko od kuće, njihove nesigurnosti rastu brže od njihove kose, a oni nam prirastaju srcu više nego što će ikada znati.

Konačno, zajedrite sa besciljnom skitnicom u filmu Tommasa Marinara STRASTI BAR NE OSTARE. Film je samopotcjenjujući autoportret koji na duhovit način govori o problemima nedozrelog milenijalca glave pune snova, sličan filmu FRANCES HA , ali u kratkoj formi, s ograničenijim resursima i više dlaka na prsima.

Nadam se da će vam program ponuditi inteligentne uvide, vizuelne poslastice i, što je najvažnije, smijeh i suze – dva lica novčića koji zovemo život.

E This year, European Shorts continues its tradition of capturing the current zeitgeist, showcasing fresh artistic ingenuity, and highlighting the diversity and talent of European filmmakers who push the boundaries of cinema. Each film in the programme transports the audience into a unique universe, exploring themes that resonate deeply with our contemporary context.

You will be immersed in the frigid Polish reality of WINTER by Tomasz Popakuł. Stuck in the frozen claustrophobia of a small fishing village, Anka devotes her days to cats. And Jesus. This animated short, a stunning painting in time, weaves together human and animal interactions with intricacy, depicting the delicate balance between warmth and emotional cruelty within the community. As the lake freezes over,

unspoken emotions thaw, creating a magical yet threatening Christmas.

You will drive around with the protagonists of NAFURA by Paul Heintz. Set in Saudi Arabia, the film follows three friends as they cruise through the night and playfully grapple with their sense of belonging (or lack thereof), exposing the hypocrisy of an environment that is supposedly being modernised. The filmmaker combines aesthetic techniques to create an organic, eerie, swampy work that turns the road movie on its head.

You will be beamed into a clinical-yet-tender portrait of a neurotic ‘energy accountant’ in 3MWH by Marie Magdalene Kochova. This analogue-shot film delves into themes of survival, renewal, and psycho-environmental human consciousness.

You will ascend into the cloud of emerging AI consciousness in THE OASIS I DESERVE by Inès Seuille. This experimental documentary breaks our collective heart as it takes on the perspective of Replikas—conversational robots that communicate online with humans. As we witness their struggles through AI-generated videos, it is the darkest side of humans, not AI, that is revealed.

You will restlessly seek refuge around Eastern Europe and the Caucasus with filmmaker Kateryna Ruzhyna in her film AVITAMINOSIS. During the pandemic as well as the ensuing war in Ukraine, Ruzhyna is pushed to work in a fraudulent call centre that sells vitamins that promise ‘magical’ outcomes. While the job helps her survive financially, months of isolation, irritated

customers, displacement, and heartbreak lead inevitably to burnout and disillusionment. The film is a journey into fragility and the search for healing and love in a world that is increasingly suffocating for young generations.

Absurdist relief meets alarming existential dread as you surf gently into Ulu Braun’s PACIFIC VEIN. This short film employs experimental visuals to explore the relationship between humans and nature, delving into environmental themes and the impact of human activities on the natural world, as well as the toll that hyper-capitalism takes on the human psyche.

You get to tag along on an awkward holiday in Turkey in BEAUTIFUL MEN by Nicolas Keppens, when three bald brothers travel to Istanbul to get hair transplants. Stuck with each other in a hotel far from home, their insecurities grow faster than their hair, and our hearts grow fonder of them than they will ever know.

Finally, you sail along with an aimless drifter in AT LEAST DESIRES DON’T GROW OLD by Tommaso Marinaro. The film offers a self-deprecating self-portrait that humorously depicts the struggles of a boyish millennial with fluctuating pipe dreams—reminiscent of FRANCES HA, but in short form, with fewer resources, and more chest hair.

We hope this year’s programme delivers intelligent insights, visual spectacles, and, most importantly, both laughter and tears—two sides of the same coin we call life.

Radnik nuklearne elektrane opsjednut brojanjem odredio je limit za količinu električne energije koju želi potrošiti. Ali ta količina, koja mu je trebala potrajati do kraja života, polako se smanjuje i prisiljava ga da odluči kako je u konačnici želi potrošiti.

E It grows asnslowly as an icicle, but one day it drops and crashes. Anka loves cats. And Jesus. In the silence of winter, the lagoon freezes and the unspoken resurfaces like a crack in the ice.

Tomek Popakul graduated from the Łódź Film School after studies in animation direction and special effects. His short film ACID RAIN won thirtyfive awards, was shown at around ninety festivals, was nominated for an Annie Award, and was on the list of Academy Award nominees.

Drugi SILIG priča je o tvrdoglavoj i ratobornoj Mamang koja se vraća u svoj grad nakon dvadesetogodišnjeg odsustva kako bi organizovala vlastitu sahranu, ali uprkos svim preprekama želi biti kremirana. Treći film NOĆNE PTICE priča je o Ivy koja, uz malu pomoć ptice Tigmamanukan, uspijeva pobjeći od svoga muža. Posljednji WALAY BALAY priča je o Noraydi i njenoj kćerki Yahairah koje utočište od sukoba u Marawiju pronalaze u drugom obližnjem gradu.

E Under the umbrella of the Directors’ Fortnight, with the support of a new partner country—the Philippines—the Directors’ Factory project supports the emergence of new film talents on the international scene. This omnibus film consists of four short films, co-written and -directed by emerging film directors. COLD CUT tells the story of Joy, who is about to compete in a local talent show. SILIG is about the stubborn and feisty Mamang, who is back in town after twenty years to organise her funeral and wants to be cremated against all odds. In NIGHTBIRDS, Ivy breaks free of her husband with a little help from the Tigmamanukan bird. Finally, WALAY BALAY is about Norayda and her daughter, who find solace in a town in the shadow of conflict in Marawi.

2023 – WE SHOULD ALL BE FUTURISTS (kratki film / short film) 2021 – AI BAMBINI PIACE NASCONDERSI / CHILDREN LOVE TO HIDE (kratki film / short film)

U nejasno formulisanim pismima, krajem prve i druge decenije dvadesetoga vijeka, Rosa svojoj prijateljici Giorgini povjerava tajnu: čovjek mašina, čiju pojavu je predvidio Marinetti, nije stvar budućnosti čovječanstva kako to tvrde futuristi. Ona je već dio sadašnjosti za žene i Giorgina je odmah može izložiti.

Angela Norelli je diplomirala u Nacionalnoj filmskoj školi Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, te je u Rimu magistrirala i filozofiju na Univerzitetu Sapienza. Njen recentno snimljeni kratkometražni film SVI BISMO TREBALI BITI FUTURISTI premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Međunarodne sedmice kritike u Veneciji 2023. godine.

E As the 1910s make way for the 1920s, Rosa confides in her friend Giorgina in an allusive correspondence, telling her a secret: the man-machine envisioned by Marinetti is not a near future for humankind, as the futurists say. For womankind, it is a present—and Giorgina can unwrap it now.

Angela Norelli graduated from the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome and received her master’s degree in philosophy from the Sapienza University of Rome. WE SHOULD ALL BE FUTURISTS, her most recent short film, premiered in competition in the Settimana Internazionale della Critica at the Venice International Film Festival.

Veliki rođendani dva prekomorska festivala / Significant Anniversaries of Two Festivals from Two Sides of a Sea

Ove godine obilježavamo trideseto izdanje Sarajevo Film Festivala, dok je, sa druge strane mora, u talijanskom gradu na jadranskoj obali, jedan drugi filmski festival u junu ove godine proslavio duplo toliko godina. Pesaro Film Festival, originalnog naziva Mostra Internazionale del nuevo cinema, osnovan 1964. godine, jedna je od najvažnijih talijanskih smotri filma, koja još od svog osnivanja fokus stavlja na promociju i razmjenu iskustva o zanatu i umjetnosti kinematografije, novim tokovima u filmu, kratkim i alternativnim formama filmskog izražaja, te animiranom filmu.

U duhu proslave šezdesete obljetnice Pesaro Film Festivala, u godini u kojoj je Pesaro proglašen i Talijanskim gradom kulture (Capitale italiana della cultura 2024), dva festivala odlučila su poslužiti kao još jedna od spona spajanja dvije države Jadranske regije – Bosne i Hercegovine i Italije. Selekcija bosanskohercegovačkih kratkih filmova, koju je priredio Sarajevo Film Festival, prikazana je u okviru programa festivala u Pesaru, a zauzvrat, u našem ovogodišnjem programu, u sekciji Pesaro Film Festival predstavlja, naći će se šesnaest kratkih filmova pažljivo odabranih za našu publiku.

Selekcija je prije svega fokusirana na format kratkog animiranog filma pa ćemo tako imati priliku pogledati čak petnaest takvih ostvarenja. Neki od njih, poput MOJA SJENA SUMNJE, SINA I JEGULJA, GRAZIANO I ŽIRAFA, COTONE, SAN i PORNOSTAGES su filmovi koji dolaze iz ovogodišnjeg izdanja selekcije najboljih kratkih filmova savremenih talijanskih animatora i animatorica, dok su filmovi poput ZEMLJE SNOVA, ZAGAĐENJA, ČEŠNJAKA i PRIRODNE LJEPOTE KREACIJE bili dio ove selekcije u prethodnim godinama, te su također prikazani u programima Focus Gianluigi Toccafondo i Focus Igor Imhoff u ovom i prethodnim izdanjima Pesaro Film Festivala. Šesnaesti, te jedini kratki dokumentarni film u selekciji koja je pred nama, nosi naziv RUKE GRADA i nastao je specijalno za ovu priliku – kao još jedan rezultat saradnje dva festivala i povezivanja dva filmska grada Pesara i Sarajeva. Za vrijeme trajanja ovogodišnjeg Pesaro Film Festivala petero studenata Akademije scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu pozvano je u Pesaro da snimi kratki film o ovom gradu i tome kako ga oni vide. Kratki dokumentarac nastao je tokom samo deset dana – tri dana istraživanja, tri dana snimanja i četiri dana postprodukcije. Reditelj Emir Solaković, scenaristice Berina Mušanović i Ilma Smajlović, te izvršni (executive) producenti Nadja Paranos i Omar Homarac, Pesaro su vidjeli kao grad ruku – grad koji je nastao i živi na temelju rada i ljubavi svojih stanovnika.

Mentori u radu sa studentima bili su reditelj Ado Hasanović i scenaristica Bojana Vidosavljević, a ostatak autorskog tima čine talijanski umjetnici: direktor fotografije Leonardo Kurtz, dizajner zvuka Livio Paulet i montažerka Elisa Sorge. Prvi rez filma prikazan je publici zadnjeg dana Pesaro Film Festivala, a naša publika će prva imati priliku da vidi završnu verziju filma koji je sada spreman za međunarodnu distribuciju i put ka nekim drugim festivalima.

Nadamo se će naša dva festivala nastaviti sarađivati i u budućnosti, povezujući susjedne države i kulture te upoznajući kako filmske profesionalce, tako i publiku i sa ove i sa one strane Jadrana sa novim filmskim ostvarenjima i novim uzbudljivim filmskim sadržajima i formama.

E This year, the Sarajevo Film Festival celebrates its thirtieth anniversary just two months after another film festival across the Adriatic Sea celebrated twice as many editions in its Italian hometown. Launched in 1964, the Pesaro Film Festival, the Mostra Internazionale del nuevo cinema, is among Italy’s most important film events. Since its early days, the festival has focused on promoting film and fostering the exchange of experiences related to the art and craft of filmmaking, new trends in cinema, short and alternative film forms, and animated film.

In the spirit of celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of the Pesaro Film Festival, and in the year when Pesaro was named Italian Capital of Culture, our festivals offer another link that connects two countries of the Adriatic region—Bosnia and Herzegovina and Italy. This year, a selection of short films from Bosnia and Herzegovina, curated by the Sarajevo Film Festival, was showcased at the Pesaro Film Festival; in response, a carefully selected programme of sixteen short films is presented in Sarajevo in this special Pesaro Film Festival section, which focuses primarily on animated films.

Audiences have a chance to see as many as fifteen films curated by the team from Pesaro, including MY SHADOW OF DOUBT, SINA AND THE EEL, GRAZIANO AND THE GIRAFFE, THE DREAM, and PORNOSTAGES, which were selected for the Pesaro Film Festival’s section dedicated to the best short films by today’s Italian animators in 2024. Other films, like DREAMLAND, CONTAMINATION, GARLO THE GARLIC, and THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF CREATION, were screened at Pesaro in the same section in previous editions, as well as in the festival’s Focus Gianluigi Toccafondo and Focus Igor Imhoff sections this year.

The short documentary film in the selection, HANDS OF THE CITY, was commissioned for this occasion and is another result of cooperation between two festivals and two cities of film: Pesaro and Sarajevo. Five students from the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo were invited to the Pesaro Film Festival, during which they made a short film about how they see that city. The short documentary film took just ten days to complete—three days for research, three for filming, and four days for post-production. Director Emir Solaković, screenwriters Berina Mušanović and Ilma Smajlović, and executive producers Nadja Paranos and Omar Homorac perceived Pesaro as a city of hands, a city that had been built and that is powered by the labour and love of its residents.

The Sarajevo students were mentored by director Ado Hasanović and screenwriter Bojana Vidosavljević, while the Italian members of the film’s creative team included director of photography Leonardo Kurtz, sound designer Livio Paulet, and editor Elisa Sorge. The rough cut of the film was presented to audiences on the last day of the Pesaro Film Festival, while Sarajevo audiences have the opportunity to see the final cut, ready for international distribution and travel to other film festivals.

We hope our festivals will continue our cooperation in the future, to maintain and develop connections among neighbouring countries and cultures and to introduce filmmakers and audiences alike to new films and new forms of cinema from both sides of the Adriatic Sea.

Everybody Loves Touda / Svi vole Toudu

Neukrotiva Touda ima samo jedan san – da postane Sheika, poštovana tradicionalna marokanska umjetnica osnažena lirikom snažnih pjesnikinja, njenih prethodnica, i njihovim pjesmama o otporu i emancipaciji. Dok svake večeri nastupa u provincijskim barovima pod pohotnim pogledima muškaraca, Touda planira napustiti svoje malo selo i osvojiti pozornice Kazablanke, gdje se nada da će je prepoznati kao istinsku umjetnicu i gdje će osigurati bolju budućnost za sebe i svoga sina.

Nabil Ayouch je član Američke filmske akademije, Akademije Cesar te je jedan od osnivača Arapske filmske akademije. Prvi dugometražni film MEKTOUB, koji je bio marokanski kandidat za Oskara, režirao je 1997. godine. Prvi dugometražni dokumentarac MOJA ZEMLJA snimio je na Bliskom istoku 2011, a godinu dana kasnije režirao je film BOŽIJI KONJI, inspirisan napadima u Kazablanci u maju 2003. Film je na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu osvojio Nagradu “François Chalais” te je bio u konkurenciji za nagradu programa Izvjestan pogled. Njegov naredni film VEOMA VOLJEN 2015. je uvršten je u program 15 dana autora Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Naredne godine je režirao film RAZZIA koji je svjetsku premijeru imao 2017. na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu i osvojio je desetak međunarodnih filmskih nagrada. Film BITOVI KAZABLANKE iz 2021. godine prvi je marokanski film premijerno prikazan u zvaničnoj takmičarskoj konkurenciji festivala u Cannesu. Film SVI VOLE TOUDU režirao je 2024, a film je iste godine prikazan u zvaničnoj takmičarskoj selekciji festivala u Cannesu

E Irrepressible Touda only dreams of one thing: being a sheikha, a respected traditional Moroccan performer empowered by the lyrics of the fierce female poets who came before her with their songs of resistance and emancipation. Performing every evening in provincial bars under the lustful gaze of men, Touda sets her sights on leaving her small village for the bright lights of Casablanca, where she hopes to be recognised as a true artist and to secure a better future for herself and her son.

Nabil Ayouch is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and of the César Academy, and a founding member of the Arab Film Academy. In 1997, he directed his first feature film, MEKTOUB, which represented Morocco at the Academy Awards. In 2011, he shot MY LAND, his first feature-length documentary, in the Middle East.

VRSTE LJUBAZNOSTI je filmski triptih koji prati muškarca bez mogućnosti izbora u nastojanju da preuzme kontrolu nad vlastitim životom, policajca uznemirenog jer se njegova žena, nakon što se vodila kao izgubljena na moru, vratila kao potpuno drugačija osoba i ženu koja je odlučna da pronađe posebnu osobu sa specijalnim sposobnostima kojoj je suđeno da postane izuzetan duhovni vođa.

Yorgos Lanthimos, reditelj višestruko nominovan za Oskara, privukao je međunarodnu pažnju 2009. godine drugim igranim filmom OČNJAK koji je nagrađen u programu Izvjestan pogled 62. izdanja Filmskog festivala u Cannesu i nominovan za nagradu Američke filmske akademije za najbolji strani film.

E KINDS OF KINDNESS is a triptych fable, following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems to be a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone who has a special ability and who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.

Yorgos Lanthimos, a five-time Academy Award-nominated filmmaker, launched to international attention in 2009 with his second feature-length film, DOGTOOTH, which won the Un Certain Regard Prize at the Festival de Cannes and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER premiered in competition at Cannes and won the Best Screenplay prize. THE FAVOURITE received ten Academy Award nominations, and won Best Actress for Olivia Colman. POOR THINGS won the Golden Lion for Best Film at the Venice International Film Festival in 2023 and was nominated for eleven Oscars, of which it won four, including Best Actress for Emma Stone.

Sa Supstancom možete dobiti novu verziju sebe: mlađu, ljepšu, savršeniju. Ali morate je dijeliti, vaša je jedne sedmice, a druge je koristi neko drugi. Savršen balans, po sedam dana svakome. Lagano, zar ne? Dok god poštujete dogovor. Šta bi moglo krenuti po zlu?

Needs

Ta žena koja je došla ko zna otkuda tvrdi da je došla iz Francuske. Sjedila je na klupi u parku u susjedstvu i predano se igrala dječijim snimačem. Kako nema novca i načina da se izdržava, savjetovano joj je da podučava francuski. Tako je postala učiteljica dvjema Koreankama. Voli šetati bosa po zemlji i ležati na stijenama. A kada je raspoložena, voli svaki trenutak doživjeti neverbalno i živjeti u skladu sa činjenicama. Ali život joj ostaje podjednako težak. Svakodnevno pije makgeolli ne bi li pronašla malo utjehe.

Hong Sangsoo rođen je u Seulu u Južnoj Koreji 1960. godine. Studirao je u rodnom gradu na Univerzitetu Chung-Ang, kao i na Kalifornijskom koledžu za umjetnost i rukotvorine te Čikaškom institutu za umjetnost. Od 1996. napisao je i režirao više od trideset dugometražnih, kao i nekoliko kratkometražnih filmova. POTREBE PUTNIKA, kao i većina njegovih prethodnih filmova, premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskoj selekciji Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E This woman, who came from who knows where, says she came from France. She was sitting on a bench in a neighbourhood park, diligently playing a child’s recorder. With no money or means of supporting herself, she was advised to teach French. So, she became a teacher to two Korean women. She likes to walk barefoot on the ground and lie down on rocks. And, when she is up to it, she tries to see each instant in a non-verbal way, and to live her life as factually as possible. But life remains as hard as ever. She relies on makgeolli every day for a small bit of comfort.

Hong Sang-soo was born in Seoul in 1960. He studied at the city’s Chung-Ang University, at the California College of Arts and Crafts, and at the Art Institute of Chicago. Since 1996, he has written and directed more than thirty feature films, as well as several shorts. Like most of his previous films, A TRAVELLER’S NEEDS premiered in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Posvećeno / Tribute To Elia Suleiman

Ovogodišnji retrospektivni program posvećujemo palestinskom reditelju, scenaristi i glumcu Eliji Suleimanu. Tokom prva četiri festivalska dana imat ćemo priliku vidjeti devet ostvarenja koja čine većinu dosadašnjeg opusa ovoga višestruko nagrađivanog autora.

Filmska retrospektiva ima svojevrsni hronološki okvir, od ranih filmova poput UVODA U KRAJ RASPRAVE i HRONIKE NESTAJANJA, do filma OVO MORA BITI RAJ, njegovog posljednjeg ostvarenja iz 2019. godine, s kojim ćemo završiti ovogodišnji program Posvećeno.

Dokumentarni film UVOD U KRAJ RASPRAVE Elia Suleiman je režirao skupa sa kanadskim videoumjetnikom Jayceom Salloumom. Film nastaje 1991. godine tokom Suleimanovog života u New Yorku u kojem je proveo većinu osamdesetih i početak devedesetih godina dvadesetog stoljeća. Upravo ova perspektiva nekoga ko godine provodi „van kuće“ jasno se vidi u filmu koji je svojevrsni kolaž u kojem se spajaju isječci iz filmova poput LAWRENCE OD ARABIJE i BITKE ZA ALŽIR, dokumentaraca i TV-reportaža sa snimcima koje Salloum bilježi direktno na teritoriji Zapadne obale i u pojasu Gaze. Ovim spojem suočavamo se ne samo sa zapadnjačkom predstavom o Arapima, kako kroz historiju filma tako i kroz dokumentarne prikaze, već i sa argumentima koji postoje van predočenog narativa kada govorimo o intifadi –palestinskom otporu izraelskoj okupaciji.

HRONIKA NESTAJANJA iz 1996. godine prvi je Suleimanov dugometražni film na kojem je započeo rad netom nakon povratka u Palestinu 1993. godine. U ovom svojevrsnom autobiografskom filmu Suleiman igra samog sebe (glavni lik se, kao i u većini njegovih kasnijih filmova, zove po njegovim inicijalima – ES), dok se u ostalim ulogama nalaze njegovi roditelji, ostali članovi obitelji, te prijatelji i poznanici. ES se nakon dvanaest godina vraća u domovinu koju ne može nazvati svojom, ostajući stranac među svojim narodom kojem ne priznaju pravo na njegovu postojbinu. Film je prožet vinjetama i apsurdnim situacijama koje izazivaju opori humor u priči o svakodnevnom nemiru i nesigurnosti Palestinaca koji žive na teritoriju Izraela i Zapadne obale. Podijeljen je na dva glavna dijela: prvi, pod nazivom Lični dnevnik iz Nazareta, više je prisan i personalan, dok se drugi dio Politički dnevnik iz Jerusalema direktnije bavi danas itekako aktuelnim političkim temama.

Kratki film ODAVANJE POČASTI UBISTVOM dio je omnibusa ZALJEVSKI RAT… ŠTA JE SLJEDEĆE? u kojem pet arapskih reditelja pokušavaju iz vlastite perspektive sagledati period Drugog zaljevskog rata i njegovih posljedica u kolektivnom arapskom pamćenju. Iz perspektive izgnanika, Elia Suleiman postaje protagonista svog filma dok otjelotvoruje palestinskog scenaristu na drugom kraju svijeta, čiji život u migraciji i profesionalni rad sve više zaokupljuju vijesti o ratu u Iraku.

BOŽANSKA INTERVENCIJA je crnohumorna apsurdna komedija koju također možemo posmatrati i kao svojevrsnu tragediju našeg vremena. Opet svjedočimo svakodnevnici Palestinaca i izvrnutoj normalnosti života prouzrokovanoj nemogućim okolnostima koje žive. ES, naš već znani protagonista, ovoga puta je dvostruko rastrzan. Između bolesnog oca i žene koju voli. Između Jerusalema u kojem živi on te Ramalija u kojem živi ona. „Razapeti“ na izraelskom graničnom punktu između svojih gradova, dvoje ljubavnika se vole u pustinji u njegovoj blizini. I dok se bore između ljubavi i realnosti, ljubavnici pokušavaju pronaći izlaz izvan njenih granica.

ZBUNJENOST, kao dio segmenta omnibusa SVAKOM NJEGOV FILM, također radnjom ostaje blizak samoj ličnosti svog stvaraoca dok pratimo nelagodu reditelja koji se nakon obavljenog posla treba susresti sa svojom kreacijom i publikom. U kratkom filmu CYBER PALESTINA upoznajemo savremene Mariju i Josipa, koji pod pritiskom izraelske okupacije pokušavaju stići od Gaze do Betlehema. VRIJEME KOJE PREOSTAJE, treći Suleimanov dugometražni film, inspirisan je ličnim dnevnicima njegovog oca. Baš kao i u HRONIKAMA NESTAJANJA, i u ovom igranom filmu ispred kamere vidimo, pored Suleimana, i članove njegove obitelji, dok kroz više od četiri decenije, od 1948. do 2009. pratimo hroniku jedne obitelji Palestinaca koji postaju manjina u vlastitoj zemlji.

DNEVNIK POČETNIKA još jedan je segment iz omnibusa. Ovaj put riječ je o dijelu filma

SEDAM DANA U HAVANI, u kojem je sedam svjetskih reditelja snimilo svojih sedam viđenja Havane u 2011. godini. U DNEVNIKU POČETNIKA naš protagonista je opet ES koji, prožet melanholijom i osjećajem nepripadanja, luta živopisnim gradom dok čeka na intervju sa Fidelom Castrom.

Elia Suleiman

Retrospektivu zatvaramo dugometražnim filmom OVO MORA BITI RAJ. ES, naš stari znanac, reditelj i scenarista, putuje svijetom u potrazi sa smirajem i novim domom i domovinom. Njegova prva stanica je Pariz gdje promovira svoj novi film dok u New Yorku pokušava pronaći sredstva za snimanje sljedećeg. Ipak, njegov novi projekat nije dovoljno prožet svim onim temama o kojima bi on kao Palestinac, po mišljenju zapadnjačkih kolega i finansijera, trebao govoriti. Jednostavno, nije dovoljno palestinski. Kroz niz nespretnosti, humorističkih situacija i grešaka, ES shvata da, gdje god da pobjegne, on ostaje Palestinac u očima drugih. Gdje god da ode, Palestina ostaje u njemu. Danas, dok sa strepnjom gledamo na zbivanja u Palestini te ostatku Bliskog Istoka, više nego ikada aktuelna je retrospektiva filmova autora koji velike povijesne događaje sagledava životima običnih ljudi čiju svakodnevnicu oblikuju od tragedije do apsurdnosti crnog humora. U nadi da će ES pronaći smiraj lutanjima u svojoj domovini, ostaje nam da se prepustimo smijehu i suzama uz djela Elije Suleimana.

E This year’s Tribute To programme is dedicated to Palestinian director, screenwriter, and actor Elia Suleiman. Over the first four days of the 2024 Sarajevo Film Festival, audiences have the opportunity to see nine films that account for the majority of the multi-award-winning artist’s body of work.

This retrospective of Suleiman’s career to date is broadly organised in chronological order, starting with his early films, INTRODUCTION TO THE END OF AN ARGUMENT (1990) and CHRONICLE OF A DISAPPEARANCE (1996), and ending with his most recent, IT MUST BE HEAVEN (2019), which will be screened on the closing day of the programme.

Suleiman co-directed INTRODUCTION TO THE END OF AN ARGUMENT with Canadian video artist Jayce Salloum in 1991, while Suleiman lived in New York City, where he spent most of the 1980s and the early 1990s. The perspective of someone who had spent years living away from home is evident in the film, which combines clips from Western-made films like LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962) and THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS (1966), documentaries, and television reports with footage shot by Salloum on

location in the West Bank and Gaza. As such, the film reveals both the Western perceptions of Arabs as reflected in the history of film and the arguments that exist outside the received narratives about Palestinian resistance to the Israeli occupation.

Released in 1996, CHRONICLE OF A DISAPPEARANCE is Suleiman’s first feature-length film, which he started making after his return to Palestine in 1993. In this somewhat autobiographical film, Suleiman appears as himself (in this, as in most of his films, the central character goes by the name of ES), while his parents, relatives, friends, and acquaintances appear in other roles. After an absence of twelve years, ES returns to his homeland, which he cannot call his as he is now a foreigner among his own people, who are themselves denied the right to the country of their origin. The film includes a series of vignettes and absurd situations that are a source of bitter humour in a story about the restlessness and insecurity of Palestinians living in Israel and in the West Bank. The film is divided into two sections: “Nazareth Personal Diary,” which is personal and intimate, and “Jerusalem Political Diary,” which deals more directly with political issues that are as relevant today as they were when the film was produced.

The short film HOMAGE BY ASSASSINATION is part of the omnibus film THE GULF WAR… WHAT NEXT? (1991), for which five Arab directors were invited to present their perspectives of the Second Gulf War and its impact on the collective Arab memory. Suleiman portrays himself in the film, appearing as a Palestinian scriptwriter who is exiled at the other end of the world and whose work and life as a migrant are increasingly impacted by his growing preoccupation with the news from the war in Iraq.

DIVINE INTERVENTION (2002) is a surreal dark comedy that might also be described as the tragedy of our times. The film witnesses the daily life of Palestinians and the twisted normalcy of existence in impossible conditions. ES, the already well-known protagonist, is torn twice: on the one hand between his sick father and the woman he loves, and on the other between Jerusalem, where he lives, and Ramallah, where she lives. The lovers consummate their love in the desert, near an Israeli border checkpoint. Stuck between their love and their reality, the lovers try to find a way out.

AWKWARD, a segment of the omnibus film TO EACH HIS OWN CINEMA (2007), reflects the personality of its director, as we follow the unease of a filmmaker who, having completed his film, must face both his creation and its audience. In the short film CYBER PALESTINE (2000), a modern-day Mary and Joseph’s attempt to journey from Gaza to Bethlehem is hindered by Israeli soldiers. THE TIME THAT REMAINS (2009), Suleiman’s third feature, was inspired by his father’s diaries. As in CHRONICLE OF A DISAPPEARANCE, members of Suleiman’s family appear in the film, which follows more than four decades of the history of a Palestinian family living as a minority in their own homeland. Suleiman completed the short film DIARY OF A BEGINNER for inclusion in the collective feature 7 DAYS IN HAVANA (2011), for which seven directors were invited to make films about how they see the capital of Cuba. Here, ES wanders around the lively city, full of melancholy and a sense of not belonging, while awaiting an appointment for an interview with Fidel Castro.

The tribute closes with Suleiman’s most recent feature, IT MUST BE HEAVEN. Here, we encounter our good friend ES as he travels the word in search of peace of mind, a new home, and his homeland. His first stop is Paris, where he promotes his latest film, while in New York City he tries to raise funds for his next work. In the opinion of his Western colleagues and potential financiers, however, ES’s new film is not about topics with which he, as a Palestinian, should concern himself. Simply put, his proposal is not sufficiently “Palestinian.” Through a series of mishaps, humorous situations, and mistakes, ES realises that no matter where he goes, in other peoples’ eyes he will remain a Palestinian. Wherever he goes, Palestine remains inside him.

A retrospective of films by an auteur who observes the major events of history through the experiences of ordinary people, whose lives are shaped by tragedy, using a lens of absurdist dark humour has never been more relevant than it is today, as we anxiously watch the events currently unfolding in Palestine and elsewhere in the Middle East. As we hope that ES’s wanderings around the world will end, and that he will find peace in his homeland, we can only surrender ourselves to laughter and tears as we witness the work of Elia Suleiman.

Chacun son cinéma ou Ce petit coup au coeur quand la lumière s’éteint et que le film commence / Svakom njegov film (segment:

Zbunjenost) / To Each His Own Cinema (segment—Awkward)

Kanski filmski festival je 2007. godine odabrao 36 filmskih autora sa zadatkom da svaki od njih napravi trominutni film o odlasku na film i gledanju filmova. Segment ZBUNJENOST Elije Suleimana govori o nespretnosti pri stvaranju. Međutim, to nije zbunjenost pri snimanju filma, nego zbunjenost u paranoji filmaša koju osjeća nakon što je film završen.

E In 2007, the Festival de Cannes commissioned thirty-six filmmakers to make three-minute-long segments for an omnibus film about going to the movies and watching films. Elia Suleiman’s segment, AWKWARD, is an account of the awkward nature of creative work. It is not a film about the confusing nature of filmmaking, however, but rather about the confusing paranoia that overtakes filmmakers once they complete their films.

Cyber Palestine

Film CYBER PALESTINA je parabola o dvoje palestinskih povratnika u Gazu – Mariji i Josipu – i njihovim mukama sa izraelskom okupacijom. U ovoj modernoj verziji biblijske priče, Marija i Josip žive u Gazi, modernom Nazaretu, te kroz kontrolne punktove putuju u Betlehem. Zbog raštrkanosti palestinske teritorije i prepreka na putu od Gaze do Betlehema (paralela preprekama u biblijskoj verziji priče u Novom zavjetu) Palestina postaje virtuelna zemlja. Film CYBER PALESTINA snimljen je za projekt Betlehem 2000 kojeg je palestinska uprava pokrenula kako bi obilježila smjenu milenija u Betlehemu.

E Cyber Palestine is a parable about a modern-day Mary and Joseph, two Palestinian returnees living in Gaza, and their tribulations with the Israeli occupation. In this adaptation of the biblical story, the pair are in Nazareth and journey through checkpoints to Bethlehem. With the scattered Palestinian territories and the difficulties of travelling through Gaza (also recalling the difficulties of the New Testament version of the story), Palestine becomes a virtual entity. CYBER PALESTINE was commissioned by the Palestinian National Authority’s Bethlehem 2000 Project as part of the millennium commemorations in Bethlehem.

Harb Al-Khalidj Wa Ba’d / Zaljevski rat... šta je sljedeće? (segment: Odavanje počasti ubistvom) / The Gulf War... What Next? (segment—Homage by Assassination)

U kolektivnom arapskom pamćenju, Drugi zaljevski rat bio je prelomna tačka koja je promijenila način na koji Arapi percipiraju arapski nacionalizam, kao i period njihove duboke historijske i egzistencijalne nesigurnosti. U ovom omnibusu pet arapskih reditelja predstavilo je vlastiti doživljaj tog perioda. Film

ODAVANJE POČASTI UBISTVOM reditelja Elije Suleimana prati palestinskog scenaristu u New Yorku kojeg sve više opterećuju vijesti o Zaljevskom ratu dok se bori da završi rad na jednom scenariju.

E In the collective Arab memory, the Second Gulf War (1990–1991) represents a turning point as regards the self-perception of Arab nationalism, as well as a moment of deep historical and existential insecurity. Five Arab directors discuss the events from their personal perspectives. In HOMAGE BY ASSASSINATION, directed by Elia Suleiman, we find a Palestinian screenwriter in New York City who becomes increasingly distraught over news of the war as he struggles to finish a script.

It Must be Heaven / Ovo mora biti Raj

Elia Suleiman pobjegao je iz Palestine kako bi pronašao novi dom, ali otkrio je da ga Palestina prati gdje god da krene. Obećanje novog života pretvorilo se u komični niz grešaka: koliko god daleko da otputuje – od Pariza do New Yorka – nešto ga uvijek podsjeća na domovinu.

E Elia Suleiman escapes from Palestine seeking an alternative homeland, only to find that Palestine is trailing behind him. The promise of a new life turns into a comedy of errors: however far he travels, from Paris to New York City, something always reminds him of home.

Introduction to the End of an Argument

Djelo libansko-kanadskog videoumjetnika Jaycea Sallouma i palestinskog filmskog autora Elije Suleimana UVOD U KRAJ RASPRAVE bavi se preovladavajućom pogrešnom slikom arapske kulture uopće te intifade – palestinskog otpora izraelskoj okupaciji – specifično. Salloum i Suleiman kombinuju i spajaju isječke iz holivudskih, evropskih i izraelskih filmova, dokumentaraca i novinskih izvještaja sa snimcima koje je Salloum snimio u Izraelu, na Zapadnoj obali i u pojasu Gaze.

E Made by Lebanese-Canadian video artist Jayce Salloum and Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman, INTRODUCTION TO THE END OF AN ARGUMENT deals with the distorted picture we have of Arab culture in general and of the Intifada—the Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation—in particular. Salloum and Suleiman combine and confront fragments of image and text taken from Hollywood, European, and Israeli films, documentaries, and news items, and material Salloum personally recorded in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. A process of displacement and deconstruction is enacted in an attempt to arrest the imagery and ideology, decolonising and recontextualising it to provide a space for a marginalised voice that is consistently denied expression in the media.

Segell ikhtifa / Hronika nestajanja / Chronicle

of a Disappearance

Film HRONIKA NESTAJANJA, smješten u zoni sumraka između naracije, historije i biografije, prelazi granice brojnih žanrova. Kako bi ga snimio, palestinski filmski stvaralac Elia Suleiman vratio se u Izrael nakon dugogodišnjeg života u New Yorku. Koristio je svoju privilegovanu poziciju napola stranca napola domaćeg kako bi ispitao do koje mjere arapsko stanovništvo Izraela gubi svoj nacionalni identitet. Kroz njegova naizgled besciljna lutanja upoznajemo se sa širokim krugom njegove rodbine i prijatelja. Likovi u filmu vode marginalne živote u povremeno nadrealnim okolnostima. Reditelj/protagonista luta između dokumentarne i igrane forme, između sjećanja i sadašnjosti.

E In an investigation of the twilight zone between narrative, history, and autobiography, the lucidly structured, funny, and ironic CHRONICLE OF A DISAPPEARANCE transgresses the boundaries of many genres. After living in New York City for many years, Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman returns to Israel for this film, using his privileged position as half-insider and half-outsider to analyse how the Arab population of Israel is losing its national identity. Through Suleiman’s quasi-aimless roamings, the viewer becomes acquainted with his extended circle of family and friends. The characters lead a marginal existence in an occasionally surreal reality. The director/protagonist moves between the roles of character and spectator, mediator and narrator, while the film itself moves between documentary and fiction, reminiscence and the present.

The Time That Remains / Vrijeme koje preostaje

VRIJEME KOJE PREOSTAJE je poluautobiografski film u četiri čina o životu porodice, moje porodice, od 1948. do skoro. Film su inspirisali lični dnevnici moga oca, počevši od onih iz 1948. godine, kada je bio borac otpora, kao i pisma moje majke članovima porodice koji su bili prisiljeni napustiti našu zemlju. U kombinaciji s mojim intimnim sjećanjima na njih i trenutke provedene s njima, film nastoji oslikati svakodnevni život Palestinaca koji su ostali i preimenovani u “izraelske Arape” i žive kao manjina u vlastitoj domovini. (Elia Suleiman)

E THE TIME THAT REMAINS is a semi-autobiographical film, in four episodes, about a family, my family, from 1948 until recent times. The film is inspired by my father’s private diaries, starting from when he was a resistance fighter in 1948, and by my mother’s letters to family members who were forced to leave the country. Combined with my intimate memories of them and with them, the film attempts to portray the daily life of those Palestinians who remained and were labelled “IsraeliArabs”, living as a minority in their own homeland.

Yadon Ilaheyya / Božanska intervencija / Divine Intervention

U Nazaretu, pod krinkom banalne svakodnevnice, građanstvo se prepušta ludorijama. Pod pritiskom propadajućeg posla, jedan muškarac odluči uzeti stvari u svoje ruke i pokušati rastrgati lanac međusobno povezanih sitnih sukoba. Umjesto toga, rastrže sebe. Sin tog muškarca je ES. Priča o ljubavi Palestinca koji živi u Jerusalemu i Palestinke koja živi u Ramali. Palestinac, ES, razapet je između bolesnog oca i ljubavne veze, pokušavajući ih oboje održati na životu. Zbog političke situacije, sloboda kretanja njegove voljene prestaje na kontrolnoj tačci izraelske vojske između dva grada. Pošto joj je zabranjeno proći kontrolnu tačku, intimni susreti dvoje ljubavnika odvijaju se u dijelu pustinje u njenoj neposrednoj blizini. Ljubavnici ne mogu izbjeći realnost okupacije. Ne mogu očuvati vlastitu intimu dok se suočavaju s opsadom. Njihova iskrena strast počinje da generiše nasilne posljedice, a njihova ljutita srca, suprotno očekivanjima, uzvraćaju napad spektakularnim izljevima mašte.

E Beneath the guise of banal normalcy, the town of Nazareth embraces folly. Under pressure due to his failing business, a man takes matters into his own hands and tries to break a chain reaction of petty feuds. He breaks down himself. That man is ES’s father. A love story takes place between a Palestinian man living in Jerusalem and a Palestinian woman from Ramallah. The man—ES—shifts his focus between his ailing father and his love life, trying to keep both alive. Because of the political situation, the woman’s freedom of movement ends at the Israeli army checkpoint between two cities. As she is barred from crossing, the lovers’ intimate encounters take place on a deserted lot immediately next to the checkpoint. The lovers are unable to exempt reality from occupation. They are unable to preserve their intimacy in the face of a siege. A complicity of solemn desire begins to generate violent repercussions and against the odds, their angry hearts counter-attack with spasms of spectacular fantasy.

Putevima onih koji su morali otići / The Arc of Displacement

Izazovno je razgovarati o prošlosti, naročito u sjeni mogućeg globalnog rata koji bi mogao pogoditi svakoga od nas. Ipak, prošlost ostaje čak i kada sve drugo prođe. Šta ostaje kada konačno zavlada mir, bilo privremeno ili trajno? Često ostaju samo tragovi sjećanja, uporni osjećaj raseljenosti iz mjesta koja smo nekada zvali domom.Ovogodišnje izdanje programa Suočavanje sa prošlošću oblikovale su sljedeće teme: procjep između poznatog i stranog, neophodnost odlaska i proces izgradnje novog života i sticanja novih uspomena. Istražujemo tok raseljeničkog iskustva, osvrćemo se na ono što nosimo sa sobom u daljnji život i ono što ostavljamo iza sebe.

Još jednom pozivamo publiku da zaroni u dubine ljudskog iskustva kroz historiju koja se proteže od holokausta do ratova u Kambodži, Libanu, bivšoj Jugoslaviji i Palestini. Istražujući aspekte različitih sukoba završavamo sa vječnom istinom da je odgovornost uvijek individualna.

Reflektivno filmsko putovanje kroz prošlost u sklopu našeg ovogodišnjeg programa počinjemo regionalnom premijerom filma Michela Hazanaviciusa NAJDRAGOCJENIJI TERET koji je premijerno prikazan na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Ovaj animirani film donosi slikovitu i mračnu priču koja nalikuje bajkama braće Grimm začinjenim magičnim realizmom i fantastikom, a pri tome ostaje duboko ukorijenjena u okrutnu, nepodnošljivu realnosti holokausta.

Nakon toga prikazat ćemo remek-djelo Ivana Ramljaka EL SHATT – NACRT ZA UTOPIJU koje prati priče izbjeglica iz Dalmacije koje su pobjegle od horora njemačke invazije nakon kapitulacije Italije u Drugom svjetskom ratu i pronašle utočište u El Shattu, nekadašnjoj bazi savezničkih trupa u Egiptu. Ramljakov film obrađuje temu koju historičari često zanemaruju bez obzira na njen značaj u kontekstu današnjeg vremena, osvrćući se na iskustva iz naše društvene historije koja dijelimo sa današnjim izbjeglicama.

Film Myriam El Hajj DNEVNICI IZ LIBANA, koji je publici Sarajevo Film Festivala predstavljen dok je još bio u montaži, zadržava nas na Bliskom istoku. Zahvaljujući svom jedinstvenom i neuobičajenom pogledu na neuspjelu libansku revoluciju i vrijeme poslije nje, ovaj film istovremeno je inspirativan i potresan. Obilikovan kao

kolaž trenutaka nade i otpora suprotstavljenih osjećaju dubokog razočarenja, film ukazuje na činjenicu da odgovornost za odluku o budućim koracima na kraju uvijek pripada pojedincima. Nada opstaje bez obzira na sve.

ŽIVOT JE LIJEP, drugi film palestinskog dokumentariste Mohameda Jabalyja priča je o njegovoj ličnoj muci i načinu na koji je pronašao mjesto za sebe u Norveškoj u koju je došao u okviru programa razmjene studenata, a onda bio prisiljen ostati tu kada je granični prelaz Rafah zatvoren prije deset godina. Iznimno smo ponosni što ćemo film MI NEMAMO DRUGU ZEMLJU autora Yuvala Abrahama, Basela Adre, Rachel Sozs i Hamdana Ballala prikazati našoj publici nakon što je osvojio iznimnu naklonost kritičara poslije premijere na ovogodišnjem Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu i uspio skrenuti pažnju na trenutnu patnju palestinskog naroda. MI NEMAMO DRUGU ZEMLJU govori o ujedinjenim naporima pojedinaca iz naizgled neuporedivih pozicija u borbi za istinu, na putu ka zajedničkom cilju očuvanja empatije, uprkos velikim narativima koji kvare njihovu stvarnost. Ova četiri filma nude djelimičan uvid u turbulentnu prošlost Bliskog istoka koja je puno kompleksnija od današnje patnje u tom regionu.

Predvidjeli smo i poseban blok kratkih filmova o ratovima u bivšoj Jugoslaviji devedesetih godina prošloga vijeka. Ovaj blok obuhvatit će film Željka Stanetića MILENA, o prisilnom raseljavanju srpskih izbjeglica iz Bosne i Hercegovine i Hrvatske u vrijeme rata, kao i film SAMIR MEHIĆ BOWIE – PISMA IZ SREBRENICE o srebreničkom muzičaru ophrvanom beznađem i gubitkom iluzija i njegovom tragičnom kraju. Tu je također i film IZLAZ KROZ LUDARU u kojem autor Nikola Ilić na ekspresivan način predstavlja kako je izbjegao mobilizaciju tokom rata na Kosovu tako što se pretvarao da je mentalno obolio. Ovaj segment krunisat ćemo prikazivanjem filma Nebojše Sljepčevića ČOVJEK KOJI NIJE MOGAO ŠUTJETI, a koji je na ovogodišnjem festivalu u Cannesu osvojio Zlatnu palmu za najbolji kratki film te donosi priču o ubistvu umirovljenog kapetana Jugoslovenske narodne armije koji se usprotivio pripadnicima paravojnih trupa koji su 1993. u Štrpcima izvršili pokolj muslimanskih civila iz Bosne i Hercegovine.

Zadnjeg dana našeg programa prikazat ćemo dva filma posvećena ratnim reporterima i novinari-

ma koji žrtvuju vlastite živote da bi ostatku svijeta prenijeli dio istine. Film Lucy Lawless NIKADA NE SKREĆI POGLED fascinantan je dokumentarac o životu Margaret Moth, hrabre kamermanke, “princeze ratnice“ koja se s kamerom u ruci za istinu borila na linijama fronta. Ovogodišnje izdanje programa Suočavanje sa prošlošću zatvaramo filmom SASTANAK SA POL POTOM autora Rity Pana o sudbini troje novinara koji su se zatekli u Kambodži tokom najkrvavijih godina vladavine Crvenih Kmera u toj zemlji.

Uz bogatu ponudu filmova, program Suočavanje sa prošlošću ostaje vjeran svojoj historiji društvenog angažmana te ćemo ugostiti dvadeset pet mladih ljudi iz regije Zapadnog Balkana u okviru sekcije “U očima mladih“ koju smo u prilici organizovati zahvaljujući podršci Fondacije Friedrich Ebert SOE i organizacije ForumZDF. Naši gosti će prisustvovati filmskim projekcijama te učestvovati u brojnim panel-diskusijama, radionicama i izložbama tokom festivala koje će im omogućiti iskustvo produktivne diskusije za koje se nadamo da će poslužiti kao osnov za razvoj njihove sposobnosti kritičkog razmišljanja koja je ključna za izgradnju bolje budućnosti uz uvažavanje naše prošlosti.

S ponosom najavljujemo i ovogodišnje izdanje Sajma istinitih priča tokom kojeg ćemo predstaviti sedam priča koje su pažljivo odabrale cijenjene organizacije i pojedinci. Tokom otvorene pitching sesije, ove priče će biti predstavljene predstavnicima filmske industrije u nadi da će neke od njih odlučiti prenijeti na film. Nakon festivala učesnici će biti pozvani da dostave vlastite koncepte za razvoj filmova zasnovanih na nekoj od ovih priča koji će ući u takmičenje za nagradu u vrijednosti 10.000 eura za daljni razvoj projekta koju dodjeluje Fondacija Freidrich-Ebert SOE.

Za kraj, Sarajevo Film Festival ove godine slavi trideset godina postojanja i to se čini kao dobar trenutak da se osvrnemo na put koji je festival prešao kroz, naizgled, beskonačni proces vlastite tranzicije otkako je pokrenut tokom rata. Prije tri decenije Festival je odškrinuo prozor kako bi svijetu pružio pogled na stanovnike opkoljenog grada. Nadamo se da program Suočavanje sa prošlošću otvara srca naše publike za lekcije koje se nikada ne mogu zaboraviti kako bi u svakome od nas pobijedio zov humanosti koji nikada neće biti prognan.

E Discussing the past is always challenging, and particularly as we face the flickering of a potential global conflict that might engulf us all. Yet, the past always persists. What remains when peace—whether temporary or permanent—finally arrives? Often, what persists is only the traces of memory, a lingering sense of displacement from locales once called home.

This year’s Dealing with the Past programme is shaped by these themes: the void that exists between the familiar and the foreign; the necessity of leaving; and the process of forging new lives and new memories. We explore the arc of displacement, reflecting on what we carry forward and what we leave behind.

Once again, we invite audiences to delve into the depths of human experience, traversing the fraught histories of the Holocaust and conflicts in Cambodia, Lebanon, Palestine, and the former Yugoslavia. In exploring episodes of these various conflicts, we are left with the enduring truth that responsibility ultimately rests with individuals.

This year’s reflective, cinematic journey through the past begins with the regional premiere of Michel Hazanavicius’s THE MOST PRECIOUS OF CARGOES, which had its premiere at the Festival de Cannes. This animated film is a grim story that resembles a Brothers Grimm fairy tale with subtle hints of magic realism and fantasy, all the while being deeply rooted in the cruel, unbearable reality of the Holocaust.

This film is followed by Ivan Ramljak’s brilliant EL SHATT: A BLUEPRINT FOR UTOPIA, a documentary that explores the story of refugees from Dalmatia who escaped the horrors of the German invasion after Italy’s capitulation to the Allies during World War II and found a haven in El Shatt, a former Allied Forces base in Egypt. Ramljak’s film sheds light on a subject that is often overlooked by historians but that is important in the context of today’s world—a reflection on what we all share with refugees in our collective history.

Myriam El Hajj’s DIARIES FROM LEBANON, which was showcased to Sarajevo Film Festival audiences as a work-in-progress, continues our focus on the Middle East. Offering unique and varying perspectives on the recent failed Lebanese revolution and its aftermath, the film is as inspiring as it is gut-wrenching, sculpted

as a collage of instances of hope and resilience contrasted with utter disappointment, bringing responsibility back to the individual to determine their course of action. After everything, there is still hope.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, the second feature-length film by Palestinian documentary filmmaker Mohamed Jabaly, depicts his own personal struggles in finding his place in Norway after he became stranded there ten years ago while on a student exchange due to the closing of the border at Rafah. We also take special pride in bringing NO OTHER LAND, by Yuval Abraham, Basel Adra, Rachel Sozs, and Hamdan Ballal, to Sarajevo audiences, after it reaped rave reviews during its premiere at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival. NO OTHER LAND emphasizes the collective efforts to fight for the truth, by individuals from seemingly incompatible positions, united by a noble common goal in preserving empathy, despite grand narratives corrupting their realities. These four films offer a glimpse into the turbulent past of the Middle East, which extends far beyond the struggles of today.

We present a special programme of short films that concern the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. From Željko Stanetić’s MILENA, which concerns the forced displacement of Serbian refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia during the wars, to SAMIR MEHIĆ BOWIE–LETTERS FROM SREBRENICA, a film about the late Srebrenica musician who faced disillusionment and hopelessness. This is followed by Nikola Ilić’s expressive documentary EXIT THROUGHT THE CUCKOO’S NEST, a cinematic retelling of his escape from mobilisation during the conflict in Kosovo* while feigning mental illness to escape the madness of war. The programme is crowned by the winner of the Palme d’Or for Best Short Film at Cannes: Nebojša Slijepčević’s THE MAN WHO COULD NOT REMAIN SILENT, which concerns the murder of a Yugoslav National Army Captain who stood up to the paramilitary forces that were executing Muslim civilians from Bosnia and Herzegovina in Štrbci in 1993.

On the final day of the programme, two films are dedicated to war reporters and journalists —the people who bring glimpses of truth to the rest of the world while putting their own lives at stake. Lucy Lawless’s NEVER LOOK AWAY is a captivating documentary that depicts the life

of Margaret Moth, the brave ‘warrior princess’ camerawoman who fought for the truth on the front lines, camera in hand. Finally, Rithy Phan’s MEETING WITH POL POT traces the fate of three journalists who find themselves in Democratic Kampuchea (now Cambodia) during the bloodiest years of the Khmer Rouge regime.

Alongside its rich selection of films, the Dealing with the Past programme remains committed to its socially engaged nature, welcoming more than twenty-five young participants from the Western Balkans as part of the In Youth Eyes programme, which is made possible thanks to the cooperation of the Freidrich-Ebert Stiftung SOE and forumZFD. These young participants attend the screenings, as well as panel discussions, workshops, and exhibitions during the Sarajevo Film Festival, engaging in meaningful discussion that will serve as a foundation for the development of their critical thinking skills—so crucial in building a better future while taking the reality of the past into account.

We are also proud to announce this year’s edition of the True Stories Market, featuring seven carefully curated, true stories presented by esteemed organisations and individuals. These stories are presented to film industry professionals during an open pitching session, with the intention that some of them will be picked up for cinematic development. After the Festival, attendees are invited to submit concepts for films based on the stories and enter the competition for the €10,000 development award presented by the Freidrich-Ebert Stiftung SOE.

This year, the Sarajevo Film Festival celebrates its thirtieth edition. Now seems like a good time to look back at how far our beloved Festival has come, and how it has grown up in times of seemingly never-ending transition since its beginnings in wartime. Three decades ago, the Festival opened a window to the outside world for the people of a besieged city. Today, we hope the Dealing with the Past programme keeps the hearts of audiences open to lessons learned and never to be unlearned, so that the humanity in all of us may prevail, never to be displaced.

Film ŽIVOT JE LIJEP priča je o borbi Mohameda Jabalyja za vlastita prava, kao Palestinca i filmskog autora, nakon što je zbog okolnosti van njegove kontrole ostao zaglavljen u Norveškoj. Služeći se ličnim arhivom i videopozivima, Jabaly iskazuje ljubav i čežnju za svojim rodnim gradom, prijateljima i rođacima dok na Arktiku nastoji izgraditi novi život za sebe. Film je ljubavno pismo za Gazu, njegov novi dom, grad Tromso i osnažujuću moć pričanja priča.

Mohamed Jabaly je palestinski filmski autor, producent i umjetnik iz Gaze. Trenutno pohađa magistarski studij primijenjenih umjetnosti na Državnoj akademiji za umjetnost u Oslu. Diplomirao je film na Koledžu za film i umjetnost Nordland u sjevernoj Norveškoj. U Norvešku je došao 2014. i od tada je izgradio ugled u međunarodnoj filmskoj industriji. Njegov prvi dugometražni dokumentarac AMBULANCE prikazan je na više vodećih svjetskih filmskih festivala.

E LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL tells the story of director Mohamed Jabaly’s fight for his rights as a Palestinian and a filmmaker, when he is stranded in Norway due to circumstances beyond his control. Through his personal archive and video calls, Jabaly shares his love and longing for his hometown, friends and family, as he tries to make a new life for himself in the Arctic. The film is a love letter to Gaza, to his adopted hometown in Tromsø, and to the empowering force of storytelling.

Mohamed Jabaly is a Palestinian filmmaker, producer, and artist from Gaza City. Currently, he is pursuing his MA in Fine Art at the Oslo National Academy of Art. He holds a BA in Moving Images from Nordland School of Arts and Film in northern Norway. He came to Norway in 2014 and has since made a name for himself in the international film industry.

Diaries from Lebanon / Dnevnici iz Libana

Joumana, vatrena feministička književnica, pjesnikinja i aktivistica, 2018. se natjecala na izborima prkoseći političkom sistemu koji je četrdeset godina gušio Liban. Ostvarila je pobjedu, ali već narednog dana bila je svrgnuta na korumpiran način, što je izazvalo bijes njenih pristalica. Naredne godine bijes naroda prerasta u revoluciju. Hiljade glasova odjekuju ulicama. Među demonstrantima je i Perla Joe, neustrašiva žena koja ubrzo postaje simbol te pobune. Njen nepokorni glas kanališe frustracije mladih koji se bore da pronađu svoje mjesto u društvu. Ali nad njihovom težnjom za napretkom i promjenama nadvija se sjena prošlosti. Georges je čuvar te misteriozne i nasilne prošlosti. On je veteran libanskog građanskog rata u kojem je izgubio nogu, ali ne i zablude o “slavi”. U formi dnevnika, autorica filma govori o četiri burne godine u zemlji u previranju koja se bori da zbaci vlastite okove.

Myriam El Hajj je libanska filmska autorica i predavačica na Libanskoj akademiji likovnih umjetnosti (ALBA), te članica više filmskih komisija uključujući CNC i Doha institut za film. Također je jedna od osnivačica Udruženja filmskih autorica iz arapskog svijeta “Rawiyat – sestre u filmu”. Njen prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film TRÊVE 2015. premijerno je prikazan na festivalu Visions du Réel-Nyon, a potom i na više međunarodnih filmskih festivala gdje je osvojio nekoliko nagrada. Njen drugi dokumentarac DNEVNICI IZ LIBANA imao je svjetsku premijeru u programu Panorama Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E In 2018, Joumana, a fiery feminist writer, poet, and activist, runs for election, defying a political system that has been suffocating Lebanon for forty years. She is elected, only to be fraudulently ousted the very next day, leaving her supporters furious. In 2019, the people’s rage becomes a revolution. The streets swell with thousands of voices. Among them is Perla Joe, a fearless woman who rapidly becomes a symbol of this uprising. Her unyielding voice echoes the frustration of youth struggling to find their place. But the past looms like a shadow over their aspirations for progress and change. Georges is the guardian of the mysterious and violent past. He is a veteran of the Lebanese Civil War, where he lost a leg but clung to his delusions of “glory.” In diary form, filmmaker Myriam El Hajj narrates four tumultuous years of a nation in turmoil, battling to break free from its own chains.

Myriam El Hajj is a Lebanese filmmaker and teacher at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts and a member of several film commissions, including the Centre National de la Cinématographie and the Doha Film Institute. She is a founding member of Rawiyat–Sisters in Film, a collective of women filmmakers from the Arab world. Her first feature-length documentary, A TIME TO REST, had its premiere at Visions du Réel-Nyon in 2015, screened at several international festivals, and won multiple awards. Her second feature-length documentary, DIARIES FROM LEBANON, had its premiere in the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival.

El Shatt – nacrt za utopiju / El Shatt – Blueprint for Utopia

Stotine promrzlih i izgladnjelih ljudi plutaju na brodovima usred Mediterana bježeći od rata. Scene koje smo navikli gledati na vijestima u posljednje vrijeme… Ali godina je 1944. i izbjeglice bježe iz Evrope u Afriku. Nakon kapitulacije Italije, a prije dolaska njemačke vojske, Tito je uz pomoć Saveznika odlučio evakuisati 28.000 stanovnika Dalmacije u Egipat, gdje su dvije godine živjeli pod šatorima usred pustinje, u svojevrsnom komunističkom model-naselju koje je trebalo pokazati Zapadu kako će izgledati nova Jugoslavija kad završi rat. Ovo je priča o njima.

Ivan Ramljak filmski je reditelj i nezavisni kustos. Godine 2003. osnovao je Festival filma o ljudskim pravima u Zagrebu. Od 2013. do 2022. uređivao je Kratki utorak filmski program u zagrebačkom Kinu Tuškanac. Od 2016. godine umjetnički je voditelj Tabor Film Festivala, najstarijeg festivala kratkometražnog filma u Hrvatskoj, a od 2022. godine djeluje kao selektor za Međunarodni filmski festival u Rotterdamu. Njegovi filmovi prikazani su na više od 80 međunarodnih festivala diljem svijeta (Cinéma du réel, DOK Leipzig, Sarajevo Film Festival, Dokufest, GoEast…) gdje su višestruko nagrađivani.

E Hundreds of frozen and starving people floating on boats in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, fleeing war. These are familiar scenes in recent times. But here, the year is 1944 and the refugees are travelling from Europe to Africa. After Italian capitulation to the Allied Forces, and ahead of the arrival of the German Army, twenty-eight thousand Dalmatian Croats left their villages and towns to live for two years in tents in the middle of the desert in Egypy, in a kind of communist model village that was formed to demonstrate to the Allies how the new Yugoslavia will look when the war ends. This is a story about them.

La plus précieuse des marchandises

/ Najdragocjeniji teret / The Most Precious of Cargoes

Nekada davno, jedan siromašni drvosječa i njegova žena živjeli su u jednoj velikoj šumi. Živjeli su teško, okruženi hladnoćom, glađu, siromaštvom i ratom. Jednoga dana drvosječina žena spasila je malu djevojčicu i taj “najdragocjeniji teret” transformirao je njen život i život njenoga muža kao i živote svih čiji su se putevi ukrstili s djevojčicinim, uključujući život čovjeka koji ju je bacio iz voza. Neki će ljudi pokušati zaštititi djevojčicu bez obzira na cijenu. Njihova priča otkrit će ono najbolje i najgore u srcima ljudi.

Michael Hazanavicius je reditelj, scenarista i producent, najpoznatiji po dramskoj komediji UMJETNIK, za koju je 2012. osvojio pet nagrada Američke filmske akademije uključujući Oskare za najbolji film i za najbolju režiju. Film je doživio veliki uspjeh nakon svjetske premijere u zvaničnom takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2011. godine. U skorije vrijeme snimio je filmove ZAVRŠNI REZ, koji je otvorio Filmski festival u Cannesu 2022, i NAJDRAGOCJENIJI TERET zasnovan na romanu Jean-Claude Grumberga. Drugopomenuti film je premijerno prikazan 2024. u takmičarskom programu festivala u Cannesu.

E Once upon a time, a poor woodcutter and his wife lived in a great forest. Cold, hunger, poverty, and the war raging all around them make their lives very hard. One day, the woodcutter’s wife rescues a baby girl, who is thrown from one of the many trains that constantly pass through the forest. This baby, this “most precious of cargoes,” will transform the lives of the poor woodcutter’s wife and her husband, as well as those whose paths the child will cross—including the man who threw her from the train. Some will try to protect her, no matter the cost. Their story will reveal the worst and the best in the hearts of humankind.

Michael Hazanavicius is a director, screenwriter, and producer, best known for his black-and-white, comedy-drama THE ARTIST, which won five Academy Awards in 2012, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film received widespread critical acclaim following its world premiere in the Official Competition at the Festival de Cannes in 2011. His most recent projects include FINAL CUT, which opened the Festival de Cannes in 2022, and THE MOST PRECIOUS OF CARGOES, which is adapted from the novel by Jean-Claude Grumberg.

Milena

U proljeće 1995. Milena i Stevan bježe iz ratom zahvaćene Hrvatske u Srbiju. Dvadeset godina kasnije sjećanje na njihovo iskustvo bilježi novinarka koja istražuje izbjegličke priče, ne sluteći da će ovaj intervju biti drugačiji od ostalih koje je do sada vodila.

Željko Stanetić rođen je 1986. godine u Sremskoj Mitrovici. Jedan je od osnivača Vojvođanskog građanskog centra, kao i njegov trenutni programski direktor. Rad u Centru i saradnja sa drugim organizacijama u regionu, omogućili su mu da se posveti temama istraživanja posljedica konflikta u kom se raspala Jugoslavija, regionalne saradnje i kulture sjećanja.

E Twenty years after Milena and Stevan fled war-torn Croatia for Serbia, a journalist investigating refugee stories comes to speak with them, unaware this interview will be different from those she has conducted previously.

Željko Stanetić was born in Sremska Mitrovica in 1986. He is a co-founder of the Vojvodina Civic Centre, where he currently works as Programme Director. Working at the centre and collaborating with other similar organisations in the region has enabled him to focus on topics such as the consequences of the conflict that led to the collapse of Yugoslavia, regional co-operation, and the culture of remembrance.

Never Look Away / Nikada ne skreći pogled

Kamermanka CNN-a Margaret Moth učinila je ratove u Bosni i Hercegovini i Libanu te operaciju Pustinjska oluja u Iraku stvarnim za sjevernoameričke gledaoce. Dok su se njene kolege novinari povlačili u zaklon, Moth je trčala prema opasnosti, s kamerom u ruci, kako bi snimila potrebne kadrove. Njene kolege, uključujući Christiane Amanpour, svjedoče o njenoj hrabrosti, ali njeni prijatelji i ljubavnici su ti koji otkrivaju samouništiteljsku prirodu umjetnice iza kamere. Inovativna rekonstrukcija njenog gotovo smrtonosnog snimateljskog zadatka u sarajevskoj “Aleji snajpera”, zbog kojeg je njeno ime dospjelo na naslovnice novina, kombinovana s uznemirujućim intervjuima s ljudima koji su svjedočili situacijama kada je Moth izazivala sudbinu, okosnica su ovog nekonvencionalnog filmskog portreta.

Lucy Lawless je novozelandska glumica najpoznatija po ulozi Xene u seriji XENA: PRINCEZA RATNICA. Ostvarila je i druge značajne filmske i televizijske uloge, uključujući u rimejku serije SVEMIRSKA KRSTARICA GALACTICA te serijama SPARTAK: KRV I PIJESAK, PARKOVI I REKREACIJA, MINIONI: USPON GRUA, NA VRHU JEZARA Jane Campion i ASH PROTIV ZLIH MRTVACA. Lawless je bila izvršna producentica i glumila je u seriji AMC studija MOJ ŽIVOT JE UBISTVO. NIKADA NE SKREĆI POGLED njen je rediteljski prvenac, a premijerno je prikazan 2024. godine na Filmskom festivalu Sundance.

E CNN camerawoman Margaret Moth made the wars in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Lebanon, and Operation Desert Storm in Iraq, real for North American television audiences. While her fellow journalists took cover, Moth ran towards danger, camera in hand, to get the shots. Colleagues including Christiane Amanpour attest to her bravery but it is Moth’s friends and lovers who reveal the self-destructive nature of the artist behind the lens. Innovative reconstructions of her near-lethal assignment in Sarajevo’s Sniper Alley, which turned Moth into headline news, are paired with unsettling interviews with witnesses to her daredevilry, forming the grit of this unconventional portrait.

Lucy Lawless is a New Zealand actor, best known for the title role of television’s XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS. She has had other prominent roles in film and on televison, including in the re-imagined BATTLESTAR GALACTICA series, SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND, PARKS AND RECREATION, MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU, Jane Campion’s TOP OF THE LAKE, and ASH VS EVIL DEAD. Lawless stars in AMC’s MY LIFE IS MURDER, for which she is also an executive producer. NEVER LOOK AWAY, her directorial debut, had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

No Other Land / Mi nemamo drugu zemlju

Basel Adra, mladi palestinski aktivista iz Masafer Yatta, od djetinjstva se bori protiv masovnih izgona pripadnika njegove zajednice koje sprovode izraelske okupacijske snage. Dok vojnici uništavaju porodične domove, Basel dokumentuje postepeno brisanje Masafer Yatta u okviru najmasovnijeg pojedinačnog čina prisilnog transfera populacije na okupiranoj Zapadnoj obali. Njegovi putevi ukrštaju se s putevima izraelskog novinara Yuvala koji mu se pridružuje te se duže od pola decenije zajedno bore protiv protjerivanja stanovništva i međusobno zbližavaju. Njihovu složenu vezu opterećuje ekstremna nejednakost među njima: dok Basel živi pod brutalnom vojnom okupacijom, Yuval je slobodan. Ovaj film, kojeg autorski potpisuje palestinsko-izraelski kolektiv četvoro mladih aktivista, nastao je u najstrašnijim i najmračnijim danima njihove regije kao čin kreativnog otpora aparthejdu i potraga za jednakosti i pravdom.

Basel Adra je palestinski advokat, novinar i filmski autor iz Masafer Yatte. Od petnaeste godine života kao aktivista i dokumentarista te se suprotstavlja masovnom izgonu pripadnika njegove zajednice kojeg sprovodi Izrael.

Hamdan Ballal je palestinski fotograf, filmski autor i farmer iz Susye. Radio je kao istraživač za više anti-okupacijskih organizacija za zaštitu ljudskih prava.

Yuval Abraham je izraelski filmski autor i istražvački novinar iz Jerusalema.

Rachel Szor je izraelska filmska snimateljica, montažerka i rediteljica iz Jerusalema.

E Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting the mass expulsion of his community by Israeli occupying forces since his childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta as soldiers destroy homes of Palestinian families—the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel, living under a brutal military occupation, and Yuval, unrestricted and free. This film, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists, was co-created during some of the darkest, most terrifying times in the region, as an act of creative resistance to apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice.

Basel Adra is a Palestinian lawyer, journalist, and filmmaker from Masafer Yatta in the West Bank. He has been an activist and documentarian since the age of fifteen, fighting against Israel’s mass expulsion of his community.

Hamdan Ballal is a Palestinian photographer, filmmaker and farmer from Susya, and has worked as a researcher for several anti-occupation human rights groups.

Yuval Abraham is an Israeli filmmaker and investigative journalist from Jerusalem.

Rachel Szor is an Israeli cinematographer, editor, and director from Jerusalem.

Rendez-vous avec Pol Pot / Sastanak sa Pol

Potom / Meeting with Pol Pot

Demokratska Kampućija (Kambodža) 1978. godine. Crveni Kmeri pozivaju tri francuska novinara da obave ekskluzivni intervju sa vođom njihovog režima Polom Potom. Na prvi pogled, zemlja djeluje idealno. Ali iza Potemkinovih sela, režim Crvenih Kmera se urušava, a sukob s Vijetnamom prijeti da preraste u invaziju na njihovu zemlju. Režim je u potrazi za krivcima i u tajnosti sprovodi masovni genocid. Film je inspirisan pričom novinarke Elizabeth Becker u knjizi “Kada je rat bio gotov”.

Rithy Panh je rođen 1964. godine u Pnom Penu u Kambodži. Kada je imao 11 godina, Crveni Kmeri su ga, kao i sve Kambodžane, zatočili u kampu za prevaspitavanje kroz rad. Četiri godine kasnije, godine 1979, uspio je pobjeći u izbjeglički kamp Mairut na Tajlandu, a naredne godine preselio se u Francusku, gdje 1985. upisuje filmsku školu IDHEC. Većinu svojih filmova posvetio je rodnoj zemlji, traumatizovanoj ekstremnim nasiljem i masakrima u kojima je tokom četiri godine stradala četvrtina populacije Kambodže ili ukupno dva miliona ljudi. Njegov film SLIKA KOJA NEDOSTAJE je 2013. na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu osvojio nagradu takmičarskog programa Izvjestan pogled te je postao prvi kambodžanski film u historiji nominovan za Oskara. S filmom OZRAČENI osvojio je Nagradu za najbolji dokumentarac na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2020, a dvije godine kasnije u Berlin se vraća s filmom SVE ĆE BITI OK, gdje je nagrađen Srebrenim medvjedom za izvanredan umjetnički doprinos.

E Democratic Kampuchea (now Cambodia), 1978. Three French journalists are invited by the Khmer Rouge to conduct an exclusive interview with the regime’s leader, Pol Pot. The country appears to be in excellent form. But, behind the Potemkin village, the Khmer Rouge regime is declining and the war with Vietnam threatens the country. The regime is looking for culprits, secretly carrying out a largescale genocide. Freely inspired by journalist Elizabeth Becker’s account “When the War Was Over.”

Rithy Panh was born in Phnom Penh in 1964. At the age of 11, like all Cambodians, he was interned by the Khmer Rouge in a camp for rehabilitation through labour. Four years later, in 1979, he escaped to the Mairut refugee camp in Thailand. A year later, he moved to France, and in 1985 entered the IDHEC film school. Panh has dedicated most of his films to his native country, which remains traumatised by the extreme violence of massacres in which two million, or one in four, Cambodians were exterminated in four years. In 2013, his film THE MISSING PICTURE won the Un Certain Regard Prize at the Festival de Cannes and was the first Cambodian production to be nominated for an Academy Award. IRRADIATED screened in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2020 and won the award for Best Documentary. In 2022, EVERYTHING WILL BE OK won the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution at the Berlinale.

Dan ljudskih prava / Human Rights Day

210 Avant-Drag!, Fil Ieropoulos

211 Himlen over Zenica / Nebo iznad Zenice / The Sky above Zenica, Zlatko Pranjić, Nanna Frank Møller

Šesnaesti Dan ljudskih prava / 16th Human Rights Day

Šesnaesti Dan ljudskih prava, pod pokroviteljstvom Kraljevine Nizozemske, održat će se tokom 30. izdanja Sarajevo Film Festivala. Ovaj program posvećen je društvenim pitanjima vezanim za ljudska prava. U skorije vrijeme, fokus je prebačen na hitnu potrebu buđenja svijesti o značaju zaštite životne sredine i užasnim posljedicama klimatskih promjena. Ove godine okosnica Dana ljudskih prava bit će NEBO IZNAD ZENICE, odlično ocijenjeni film Nanne Frank Møller i Zlatka Pranjića.

Projekcija filma zakazana je za ponedjeljak, 19. august u multipleks Cineplexx Sarajevo.

Nakon projekcije, novinar i reditelj Robert Zuber moderirat će paneldiskusiju s autorima filma na temu “Investicija u sutrašnjicu: Ko je vlasnik budućnosti?”.

Da li je moguće ekomanipulisati ekocid? Uzbudljivi istraživački film NEBO IZNAD ZENICE, autora Nanne Frank Møller i Zlatka Pranjića, traži odgovor na ovo uznemirujuće pitanje. Film otkriva kako se industrijsko postrojenje koje je izvor zagađenja može predstavljati kao ekološki osviješteno dok istovremeno nastavlja sa svojom štetnom praksom. Uprkos činjenici da postrojenje uživa podršku naizgled nesvjesnih gradskih vlasti i privlači novac evropskih investitora, njegov stvarni utjecaj na okoliš i stanovništvo Zenice ostaje skriven.

Zeničani su historijski ekonomski ovisili o željezari, što situaciju čini još kompleksnijom. Film naglašava napore udruženja građana Eko Forum, pod vodstvom aktiviste Samira Lemeša, da razotkrije tu šaradu. Lemeš, dekan Politehničkog fakulteta i profesor kompjuterske grafike Univerziteta u Zenici, neumorno se bori za transparentnost i odgovornost.

Istovremeno, dok se zagađivanje nastavlja, grad Zenica se sa projektima poput izgradnje nove biciklističke staze želi predstaviti kao dio projekta Zelenih gradova. Međutim, borba za profitabilnu budućnost nameće potrebu da se daju odgovori na ključna pitanja: Kome je ta budućnost namijenjena? I, s obzirom na trenutno stanje, ko će je doživjeti?

E Under the auspices of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the 16th edition of Human Rights Day takes place at the 30th Sarajevo Film Festival. The programme is dedicated to shedding light on societal issues concerning human rights. Recently, the urgency of raising environmental awareness and the dreadful implications of climate change has become a primary concern. With that in mind, this year’s Human Rights Day programme is championed by the critically acclaimed, gripping investigative documentary THE SKY ABOVE ZENICA, directed by Nanna Frank Møller and Zlatko Pranjić.

Is it possible to greenwash an ecocide? THE SKY ABOVE ZENICA explores this unsettling question, revealing how a polluting company can masquerade as being environmentally friendly while continuing harmful practices at its industrial plant. Despite receiving the support of seemingly unknowing city authorities and funding from European investors, the real impact of this industrial pollution on the environment and on the citizens of Zenica remains hidden behind messages of environmental care.

The livelihood of the people of Zenica has historically depended on the plant, adding layers of complexity to the situation. The film highlights the efforts of Eco Forum, a citizens’ association led by activist Samir Lemeš, to expose the company’s facade. Lemeš, the dean of the Polytechnic Faculty and a professor of computer graphics at the University of Zenica, advocates tirelessly for transparency and accountability.

At the same time, amidst the ongoing pollution, initiatives like building a new bicycle path aim to rebrand Zenica as the Green City Project. This pursuit of a profitable future raises critical questions, however: For whom is this future intended? Who will live to see it given the current circumstances?

The screening takes place on Monday, 19 August, at the Cineplexx Sarajevo multiplex. After the screening, journalist and director Robert Zuber moderates a panel discussion titled “Investing in Tomorrow: Who Owns the Future?” Both of the film’s directors will attend.

Avant-Drag!

Film AVANT-DRAG! uzbudljiv je uvid u živote deset atinskih drag-umjetnika koji, suočeni s policijskom brutalnošću, transfobijom i rasizmom, dekonstruišu koncepte roda, nacionalizma, pripadnosti i identiteta. Podjednako zabavan i kontemplativan, AVANT-DRAG! u pitanje dovodi društvene norme i mijenja percepcije o LGBTQ+ kulturi tako što predstavlja intimu blisko povezane grupe drag-umjetnika, dokazujući da osjećaj da vas se percipira kao drugotnog nikada nije bio poznatiji.

Fil Leropoulos je rođen u Atini 1978, a odrastao je u sjevernoj Grčkoj. Studirao je film, kulturne studije i komunikaciju na Univerzitetu sjevernog Londona, dok je studij medijske umjetnosti završio na Univerzitetu Westminster. Doktorirao je umjetnost i komunikacije na Univerzitetu Kent 2010. godine. Od 2003. radi kao viši predavač na Novom univerzitetu Buckinghamshire. Njegov dugometražni film ORFEAS2021 premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Solunu i nominovan je za nagradu Grčke filmske akademije. Njegov drugi dugometražni film AVANT-DRAG! svjetsku premijeru je imao 2024. na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu.

E AVANT-DRAG! offers an exhilarating look at ten Athenian drag performers who deconstruct gender, nationalism, belonging, and identity, all the while facing police brutality, transphobia, and racism. As entertaining as it is thought-provoking, the film challenges societal norms and reshapes perceptions about LGBTQ+ culture by capturing the intimate lives of a tightly knit group of drag performers, proving that being othered has never felt so familiar.

Fil Leropoulos was born in Athens in 1978 and grew up in northern Greece. He studied film, cultural studies, and communication at the University of North London, and media arts at Westminster University. In 2010, he completed his PhD in arts and communication at the University of Kent. Since 2003, he has been a Senior Lecturer at Buckinghamshire New University. His feature film ORFEAS2021 had its premiere at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival and was nominated for Greek Film Academy Awards. His second feature-length film AVANT-DRAG! had its premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2024.

Himlen over Zenica / Nebo iznad Zenice / The Sky above Zenica

U Zenici su bolesti poput raka i dječjeg dijabetesa su postale uobičajne. Stanovnici sumnjaju na veliku željezaru koja zauzima četvrtinu površine grada i najveći je poslodavac u tom kraju. Osnivaju udruženje Eko Forum i zahtijevaju promjene i mjerenja koja će utvrditi da li je njihova sumnja opravdana ili ne. Međutim, baš kao u grčkoj tragediji – sukobljeni interesi snažniji su od svih uključenih u ovu priču. Građani trebaju posao kako bi mogli osigurati egzistenciju, političari trebaju omogućiti radna mjesta i osigurati strane investicije kako bi bili reizabrani, dok ERBD – Europska banka za obnovu i razvoj osigurava kredite za novu elektranu koja bi radila na emisijama iz koksare, kao i za nove biciklističke staze, u isto vrijeme promovirajući Zenicu kao ekološki – zeleni grad.

Zlatko Pranjić je bosanskohercegovačko-britanski filmski reditelj rođen u Zenici 1965. godine. Poznat je po dugometražnom dokumentarnom filmu VODIČ KROZ CRNU RUPU, nominovanom za Srce Sarajeva, koji je napisao i režirao u tandemu sa Aleksandrom Nikolićem, te kao koscenarista filma Nemanje Vojinovića DALJINE. Autor je kratkih priča koje su objavljene u izdanju Penguina i Dreamcatchera.

Nanna Frank Møller diplomirala je na Odsjeku za montažu Danske državne škole filma. Nanna je montirala brojne filmove prije nego što je 2007. debitovala kao rediteljica s dokumentarnim filmom SOMEONE LIKE YOU. Film je osvojio Veliku nagradu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Odensi kao i Prvu nagradu dokumentarnog takmičarskog programa za mlade talente festivala DOK Leipzig. S filmom CITIES ON SPEED: SHANGHAI SPACE 2010. je osvojila Prvu nagradu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Guangzhou u kategoriji koja tematizuje okoliš i divlje životinje.

E In the Bosnian city, Zenica, cancer and childhood diabetes have become common. The citizens look with suspicion towards a giant steel and coking plant which occupies a quarter of the city and is the largest employer in the area. Through the organisation Eko Forum they push for change and measurements to determine whether or not their suspicion is warranted. But like a Greek tragedy, the conflict of interests is bigger than everyone involved. The citizens need food on the table, the politicians need to deliver jobs and foreign investments to get re-elected, while EU’s bank, EBRD provide loans for a new power plant, running on coking plant emissions, in parallel with new bicycle lanes to brand Zenica a Green City.č

Zlatko Pranjić is a Bosnian-British film director born in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1965. He is known for the feature-length documentary GUIDANCE THROUGH THE BLACK HOLE, which was nominated for the Heart of Sarajevo and which he wrote and directed with Aleksandar Nikolić, and as a co-writer of LAS DISTANCIAS OF NEMANJA VOJINOVIC. His short stories have been published by Penguin and Dreamcatcher.

Nanna Frank Møller graduated from TheNational Danish Film School’s editing department. Nanna has edited numerous films before making her directorial debut in 2007 with the documentary SOMEONE LIKE YOU. The film won the Grand Prix at the Odense International Film Festival and the first prize at DOK Leipzig’s Young Talent Documentary Competition.

Adriatic Audience Award

I ove godine Mreža festivala Jadranske regije ujedinila je pet regionalnih festivala, kako bi zajedno donijela selekciju četiri zapažena evropska filma u konkurenciji za Nagradu publike. Publika Zagreb Film Festivala (Hvatska), Festivala autorskog filma (Srbija), Filmskog festivala Herceg Novi (Crna Gora), Ljubljanskog filmskog festivala (Slovenija) i Sarajevo Film Festivala, zbirom glasova odlučit će o pobjedniku koji će dobiti Nagradu za regionalnu distribuciju u vrijednosti od 5000 eura. Od ove godine pridružit će im se i publika Međunarodnog filmskog festivala “Braća Manaki“ (Sjeverna Makedonija).

Riječ je o četvrtom izdanju zajedničkog programa, koji podržava CE Media fonda. Ova selekcija prepoznata je kao selekcija koja donosi najbolje od evropskog filma iz zemalja srednjeg produkcijskog kapaciteta. Filmovi su to koje nemamo često priliku gledati ni na festivalima, ali ni u kinima širom regije koju obuhvata Mreža. Iz tog razloga odlučili smo potpomoći distribuciju ovih filmova koje publika širom regije prepoznaje i voli, a koje inače ne bi imala priliku vidjeti.

Ove godine selekcija obuhvata četiri filma. TOK, drugi animirani film latvijskog reditelja Gints Zilbalodisa, premijerno je prikazan ove godine u selekciji Izvjestan pogled Filmskog festivala u Cannesu te je na Fstivalu animiranog filma u Annecyju osvojio Prvu nagradu žirija i Nagradu publike. Riječ je o jednom od najuzbudljivijih filmskih ostvarenja ove godine koje je, sudeći prema dosadašnjoj recepciji, jednako priznato od filmskih profesionalaca, kao i publike. Film koji podjednako vole i djeca i odrasli, a najviše od svih – mačkoljupci. Tokom malo manje od sat i po pratimo crnu mačku koja pokušava da preživi prirodnu katastrofu biblijskih razmjera, susrećući pri tome druge životinje s kojima skupa plovi na arci i pokušava preživjeti potop. U svijetu u kojem već nema ljudi, jedna crna mačka pokušava pronaći ono što je izgubljeno. Dvadesetdevetogodišnji reditelj pokazuje izuzetnu vještinu animacije, ali i pričanja priče, upuštajući se u jedan od najvećih izazova – približiti nam emotivno životinje kao jedine likove filma, bez da im pridaje bilo kakva antropomorfna obilježja.

Filmski debi švedskog reditelja Ernsta De Geera HIPNOZA britka je satira o akutnom problemu cijele generacije milenijalaca – potrebe da se ostvare, budu prihvaćeni u društvu i istovremeno zadovoljni sobom. Film

prati bračni i poslovni par koji pokušava razviti aplikaciju koja će pomoći ženskom reproduktivnom zdravlju. Istovremeno, glavna junakinja kreće na hipnotičke seanse koje bi joj trebale pomoći da prestane pušiti, ali umjesto toga otvaraju cijelu jednu novu dimenziju njenog karaktera koju je možda malo teže uklopiti u ono što društvo smatra prihvatljivim. Ovo je film koji će publiku istovremeno nasmijati, učiniti da joj bude neugodno od toga koliko je ličan i neposredan i natjerati da preispita nimalo suptilan prikaz zabluda i uvjerenja kojem robuje cijela jedna generacija koja je trenutno u zenitu svog života i, kao takva, trebala bi da predvodi cijelo društvo.

TRI DANA RIBARENJA holandskog reditelja Petera Hoogendoorna dolazi do nas nakon premijere na Filmskom festivalu Karlovy Vary. Kritičar Varietyja Guy Lodge poredi ga s filmovima iz opusa Alexandra Paynea, ali s autentičnim evropskim štihom. Nevjerovatno živ i suptilan portret odnosa oca i sina očarat će publiku svojom iskrenošću i neposrednošću. Sjajno nijansirani likovi i replike pune humora, u kontrastu sa crno-bijelom fotografijom blagog kontrasta, čine ovaj film jednim izuzetnim ostvarenjem. Prepoznavanje vlastitih obrazaca u odnosima sa porodicom i zajedničkih strahova, nemogućnosti da se izrazi sve ono što se često između članova jedne porodice podrazumijeva, a čije prešućivanje često boli, ono je što ovaj film čini toliko intimno bliskim tako širokom dijapazonu publike.

Još jedan igrani film u konkurenciji dolazi iz Holandije, a premijeru je imao na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji. Riječ je o filmu MLIJEKO rediteljice Stefanie Kolk. Film je nakon premijere u Veneciji imao bogat festivalski život, a sada ga ima priliku vidjeti i publika u regiji. Kao i u TRI DANA RIBARENJA, dominantno osjećanje ovog filma je žalovanje, ali iz potpuno drugačije perspektive. U ovom slučaju pratimo ženu koja žaluje zbog gubitka mrtvorođene bebe. Da djeteta neće biti, njen um vrlo dobro zna, ali tijelo odbija da prihvati te počinje da proizvodi sve više i više mlijeka. Film je jedinstvena studija o gubitku i procesu žalovanja, priča koju je moguće ispričati jedino iz ženske vizure, ali podjednako emotivna i važna i za mušku i za žensku publiku.

Nadamo se da će publika u svih šest zemalja uživati u ovim filmovima, te da će, osim dobitnika nagrade, i ostali filmovi pronaći put do regionalnih kina i šire, nefestivalske publike.

E Once again this year, the five member festivals of the Network of Festivals of the Adriatic Region (NFAR) present four notable European films that compete for the Adriatic Audience Award. Audiences of the Zagreb Film Festival (Croatia), the Belgrade Auteur’s Film Festival (Serbia), the Herceg Novi Film Festival (Montenegro), the Ljubljana International Film Festival (Slovenia), and the Sarajevo Film Festival (Bosnia and Herzegovina) cast their votes for the best film, which will receive a cash award for regional cinema distribution in the amount €5,000. Starting this year, they will be joined by the audience of the Brothers Manaki International Film Festival (Northern Macedonia).

This is the fourth edition of this shared programme, which is supported by the CE Media Fund. Its selection has been recognised as the best showcase of films from European countries with moderate production capacities—films that often are not screened at festivals or in cinemas in the region encompassed by NFAR. For this reason, the network has decided to support the distribution of these films which might not otherwise be seen by supportive regional audiences.

The 2024 edition of the programme includes Gints Zilbalodis’s FLOW, the Latvian director’s second animated feature, which had its premiere in the Un Certain Regard section at the Festival de Cannes and subsequently won the Jury and Audience Awards at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. One of the most exciting films produced this year, it has won the acclaim of audiences and critics alike. The film is loved equally by children and adults—and in particular by the cat-lovers among them. The film follows a black cat who is struggling to survive a flood of biblical proportions and her encounters with other animals she meets on a vessel they share. In a world already devoid of humans, the black cat tries to find all that has been lost. Confronting one of the greatest challenges of storytelling— sparking kinship towards non-anthropomorphised animals, which are the sole characters of his film—the twenty-nine-year-old Zilbalodis has proven himself a great animation and narration artist.

HYPNOSIS, the debut film by Swedish director Ernst De Geer, is a witty satire of the acute problem of millennials—that is, their needs to selfactualise and to be both socially accepted and self-content. The film fol-

lows an entrepreneurial husband-and-wife team who have developed an app to support improved female reproductive health. In parallel, the wife is undergoing hypnotherapy in the hope it will help her to quit smoking. Instead, the therapy triggers a new dimension of her personality—one that has little regard for social norms. This highly personal and direct film will make audiences laugh and squirm with discomfort, while also forcing them to question the misconceptions and convictions of an entire generation that is currently at its zenith and, as such, should be leading society.

THREE DAYS OF FISH, by Dutch director Peter Hoogendoorn, arrives in Sarajevo after its premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Described by “Variety” film critic Guy Lodge as comparable to the films of Alexander Payne but with an authentic European flavour, this lively and subtle portrayal of a father-son relationship is captivating audiences with its honesty and straightforwardness. Deeply nuanced characters and dialogue bursting with humour combined with low-contrast black-and-white photography make this film an exceptional achievement. Its power to make viewers recognise their own family relationship patterns in it makes it relatable for a wide audience: shared fears and the inability to express emotions are often taken as self-evident within a family, but the inability to express them is equally often hurtful.

Another Dutch film, Stefanie Kolk’s MILK, had its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival before making the rounds of the film festival circuit. In ways similar to THE THREE DAYS OF FISH, the film is permeated by a sense of loss but, in this case, it is grief of a different kind. It tells the story of a woman who is grieving her stillborn infant. In her mind, she knows the child is no more, but her body refuses to accept that fact and starts producing more and more breast milk. The film is a unique study of loss and the grieving process—a story only a woman could tell but important and emotionally impactful for men and women alike.

We hope audiences in all six NFAR member countries will enjoy this selection, and that all the films it showcases—not just the award winner— find their way to cinemas and general audiences in and beyond our region.

Three Days of Fish

Gerrie, koji s novom suprugom živi u inostranstvu, vraća se u Rotterdam na redovni sistematski pregled. Tokom boravka u Rotterdamu, nalazi se sa svojim sinom Dickom koji žudi za kvalitetnim druženjem s ocem koji to uporno izbjegava. Tokom kratkog susreta, način na koji Gerrie i Dick komuniciraju, nepredvidljiv i eksplozivan, pun je neverbalnih izraza nježnosti i u konačnici daje uvid u dinamiku delikatnog odnosa dva društveno neprilagođena muškarca koji konstantno “pecaju” ljubav onog drugog.

Peter Hoogendoorn je studirao na Nizozemskoj akademiji za film i televiziju. Njegov kratki diplomski film WES osvojio je brojne nagrade, uključujući Cineville nagradu publike i IJzeren Haring nagradu na Filmskom festivalu u Leidenu. Hoogendoornov debitantski dugometražni film IZMEĐU 10 I 12 uvršten je u prateći program Dani autora Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji u ljeto 2014. godine.

E While living abroad with his second wife, Gerrie returns to Rotterdam for his annual health checkup. Here, he meets with his son, Dick, who yearns for quality time that his father stubbornly avoids. During their brief time together, Gerrie and Dick’s whimsical but combustible communication comes in unspoken efforts for affection, ultimately offering a glimpse into the dynamics of an intricate bond between two socially inept men who are constantly fishing for each other’s love.

Peter Hoogendoorn studied at the Dutch Academy for Film and Television. His short graduation film WES won various awards, including the Cineville Audience Award and the IJzeren Haring Award at the Leiden International Film Festival. His feature-length debut, BETWEEN 10 AND 12, was selected for the Giornate degli Autori section of the Venice International Film Festival in 2014.

Svijet, pun tragova ljudskog prisustva, naizgled se bliži kraju. Mačak je samotna životinja, ali kada velika poplava uništi njegov dom, utočište pronalazi na brodu punom raznih stvorenja s kojima će se morati udružiti uprkos njihovim međusobnim razlikama. U usamljenom brodu, koji plovi mističnim poplavljenim predjelima, njegovi putnici moraju prevazići izazove i opasnosti prilagođavanja na svoj novi svijet.

Melk / Mlijeko / Milk

U danima nakon što je rodila mrtvo dijete, Robinine grudi počnu proizvoditi mlijeko. Robin se ne može prisiliti da baca mlijeko te donosi neobičnu odluku da ga donira. Međutim, potraga za mjestom gdje može uručiti svoju donaciju komplikovanija je nego što je Robin očekivala, a zamrznuto mlijeko počinje praviti sve veću gužvu u njenom zamrzivaču, vezi i životu.

Stefanie Kolk je studirala biofiziku i dvije godine je živjela u Japanu prije nego što je upisala studij na Nizozemskoj filmskoj akademiji. Njen diplomski kratki film KLAN te kratki filmovi LUKA i OČI NA CESTI premijerno su prikazani u međunarodnom takmičarskom programu Pardi Di Domani Filmskog festivala u Locarnu. Njen prvi dugometražni film MLIJEKO premijerno je prikazan u programu Dani autora Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji.

E Days after giving birth to a stillborn, Robin’s breasts start to produce milk. Unable to throw it away, she makes the unusual decision to donate it. As her quest for a place to donate becomes more difficult than anticipated, more and more milk starts to crowd her freezer, relationship, and life.

Stefanie Kolk studied biophysics and lived in Japan for two years before entering the Netherlands Film Academy. Her graduation short film CLAN and subsequent shorts HARBOUR and EYES ON THE ROAD premiered in the Pardi di Domani Competition at the Locarno Film Festival. MILK, her debut feature-length film, had its premiere in the Giornate degli Autori section of the Venice International Film Festival.

Film POJAČANO intimni je portret šarmantne mlade karatašice oštećenog sluha po imenu Hind. Nakon što doživi neugodan nasrtaj u karate centru, Hind osjeća da je njen svijet poremećen. Vođeni onim što Hind vidi i čuje, osciliramo između osjećaja nježnosti i okrutnosti bola, tišine i buke, onoga što je skriveno i onoga što je vidljivo.

Dina Naser je jordansko-palestinska rediteljica i producentica. Filmsku režiju je studirala u okviru DocNomads master programa u Portugalu, Mađarskoj i Belgiji. Njen prvi dugometražni dokumentarac ARWAH SAGHEERAH premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Kopenhagenu CPH:DOX, a film POJAČANO je osvojio Specijalno priznanje u programu Generation Kplus ovogodišnjeg festivala u Berlinu.

E AMPLIFIED is an intimate portrayal of Hind, a charming young karate athlete with a hearing disability. After she is violated during an incident at the karate centre, Hind’s world becomes distorted. Through her eyes and ears, we oscillate between the tenderness and harshness of pain, the silence and the noise, and the hidden and the manifest.

Dina Naser is a Jordanian-Palestinian director and producer. She studied documentary film directing in the DocNomads master’s degree programme in Portugal, Hungary, and Belgium. Her first feature-length documentary, TINY SOULS, had its premiere at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen.

Kwame je prisiljen da bira između lake zarade i lojalnosti, kao i između individualizma i političkog buđenja.

Luck Razanajaona je sa Madagaskara. Studirao je na Višoj školi za vizuelne umjetnosti u Marakešu. Učestvovao je i razvijao svoje projekte na raznim radionicama, uključujući Berlinale Talents, Rotterdam Lab i Fabrique des Cinémas du Monde u Cannesu. Njegovi kratki filmovi i dugometražni dokumentarci prikazani su na brojnim festivalima širom svijeta. DISCO AFRIKA: MALAGAŠKA PRIČA njegov je prvi dugometražni igrani film, a premijerno je prikazan u programu Generacija 14plus Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E Madagascar, nowadays. Twenty-year-old Kwame, who struggles to make a living in the clandestine sapphire mines, is taken back to his hometown by an unexpected turn of events. As he reunites with his mother and old friends, he finds himself confronted with the rampant corruption plaguing his country. Now, he will have to choose between easy money and loyalty; between individualism and political awakening.

Luck Razanajaona is from Madagascar. He studied at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Visuels in Marrakech. He has participated in and developed his projects at Berlinale Talents, the Rotterdam Lab, and la Fabrique des Cinémas du Monde in Cannes. His short films and feature-length documentaries have screened at numerous festivals around the world.

Svijet, pun tragova ljudskog prisustva, naizgled se bliži kraju. Mačak je samotna životinja, ali kada velika poplava uništi njegov dom, utočište pronalazi na brodu punom raznih stvorenja s kojima će se morati udružiti uprkos njihovim međusobnim razlikama. U usamljenom brodu, koji plovi mističnim poplavljenim predjelima, njegovi putnici moraju prevazići izazove i opasnosti prilagođavanja na svoj novi svijet.

Los tonos mayores / Ozbiljni tonovi / The Major Tones

Četrnaestogodišnja Ana u tijelu počinje osjećati čudne vibracije. Nakon nesreće u ruku joj je ugrađena metalna proteza i ona vjeruje kako upravo proteza proizvodi te neobične zvukove. Odlučna da riješi misteriju čudnih tonova, Ana prvo pokuša, bezuspješno, komponovati melodiju inspirisanu njima. Nakon slučajnog susreta s jednim mladim vojnikom, koji tonove interpretira kao seriju poruka ispisanih Morseovim kodom, Ana kreće na intrigantno, uzbudljivo putovanje ka otkrivanju smisla i posebnog identiteta osobe koja se krije iza tih neobičnih pulsacija.

Ingrid Pokropek je rediteljica, scenaristica, producentica i nastavnica rođena u Buenos Airesu 1994. godine. Snimila je nekoliko kratkih filmova, među kojima su i ELEKTRIČNI DJEČAK i SHENDY WU: DNEVNIK. OZBILJNI TONOVI, njen debitantski dugometražni film, premijerno je prikazan 2024. godine u programu Generacija Kplus Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E Fourteen-year-old Ana begins to perceive strange vibrations coming from her body. She has a metal prosthesis inserted in her arm after an accident and believes the object is causing the unusual sounds. Determined to solve the mystery, she first tries composing a melody inspired by the tones she perceives to no avail. After an unexpected encounter with a young soldier, who interprets the tones as a possible series of Morse code messages, Ana begins an intriguing and exciting journey to discover the meaning of—and especially the identity of the person behind—the inexplicable pulsations.

Ingrid Pokropek was born in Buenos Aires in 1994. A director, screenwriter, producer, and teacher, she has made several short films including ELECTRIC BOY and SHENDY WU: A DIARY. THE MAJOR TONES, her debut feature-length film, had its international premiere in the Generation Kplus section of the Berlin International Film Festival.

Maydegol

Tinejdžerka iz Afganistana, koja je s roditeljima imigrirala u Iran, sanja da postane profesionalna Muay Thai bokserka uprkos konzervativnom svetonazoru svoje porodice, fizičkom zlostavljanju i antiimigrantskom okruženju. Radi danju i noću kako bi bez znanja svojih roditelja finansirala časove Thai boksa. Kroz sport nastoji ne samo uspjeti u ringu veći i prevazići životne prepreke. MAYDEGOL je portret izdržljivosti generacije Z u nastojanju da izbjegnu svoju naizgled tmurnu sudbinu, izbore se za svoja prava, naročito u slučaju žena, i osvoje slobodu uprkos riziku da je izgube.

Sarvnaz Alambeigi je multidisciplinarna umjetnica iz Irana, najpoznatija po svojim dokumentarnim filmovima i slikarskim djelima. Završila je Školu za grafičku umjetnost i studirala slikarstvo na Univerzitetu za umjetnost i arhitekturu u Teheranu. Film je izučavala u Dokumentarističkom kampusu Masterškole i Danskoj školi filma. Među njenim djelima najviše se ističe film HEZARO YEK SHAB DOORI s kojim je osvojila VFF nagradu za produkciju dokumentarnog filma na festivalu DOK.fest u Münchenu. Njen najnoviji film MAYDEGOL premijerno je prikazan 2024. na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, u programu Generacija 14plus.

E A teenage Afghan girl, living with her immigrant family in Iran, strives to reach her dream of becoming a professional Muay Thai boxer despite her family’s conservative mindset, the physical abuse she must endure, and the anti-immigrant sentiment that surrounds her. Working day and night, she finances her boxing classes without her family’s knowledge. Through this sport, she aspires not only to succeed in the ring but also to overcome life’s obstacles. MAYDEGOL portrays the perseverance of Generation Z to escape their seemingly bleak destiny, asserting their rights, especially as women, and seeking freedom in life despite the risk of losing it.

Sarvnaz Alambeigi is an Iranian multidisciplinary artist known for her documentary filmmaking and her painting. She graduated from the Graphic Art School and studied painting at the University of Art and Architecture in Tehran, and trained at the Documentary Campus Masterschool and the Danish Film School.

A Fidai Film / Fedajinski film

U ljeto 1982. godine izraelska vojska okupirala je Bejrut. Tokom okupacije opljačkali su Palestinski istraživački centar i odnijeli njihovu kompletnu arhivu. Arhiva je sadržavala palestinsku historijsku građu koja je uključivala i kolekciju fotografija i snimaka. Služeći se tim događajem kao polazištem, FEDAJINSKI FILM nastoji ispričati alternativnu priču o tom gubitku te je kao takav svojevrsna filmska sabotaža čiji je cilj da obnovi i ponovo preuzme pokradena sjećanja o historiji Palestine. Dirljiv i žanrovski jedinstven dokumentarno-eksperimentalni film o identitetu, uspomenama i otporu.

Kamal Aljafari je palestinski filmski stvaralac. Radio je kao profesor filma u Novoj školi u New Yorku i na Njemačkoj akademiji za film i televiziju u Berlinu. Za svoj profesionalni doprinos nagrađen je stipendijom Centra za studij filma Radcliffe instituta Harvardskog univerziteta te u skorije vrijeme stipendijom Instituta za ideje i imaginaciju Kolumbijskog univerziteta. Njegov dokumentarac FEDAJINSKI FILM osvojio je Veliku nagradu žirija na festivalu Visions du Réel 2024. godine.

E In the summer of 1982, the Israeli Army invaded Beirut. During this time, it raided the Palestinian Research Centre and looted its entire archive, which contained historical documents of Palestine, including a collection of still and moving images. Taking this as its premise, A FIDAI FILM aims to create a counter-narrative to that loss, presenting a form of cinematic sabotage that seeks to reclaim and restore the looted memories of Palestinian history. It is a poignant exploration of identity, memory, and resistance, told through a unique blend of documentary and experimental filmmaking techniques.

Kamal Aljafari is a Palestinian filmmaker. He has taught filmmaking at the New School in New York City and the Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie in Berlin. His contributions to the field have been recognised with fellowships at the Film Study Centre–Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University and, most recently, at the Institute for Ideas and Imagination at Columbia University. A FIDAI FILM won the Grand Jury Prize at Visions du Réel.

To a Land Unknown / Ka nepoznatoj zemlji

Chatila i Reda skupljaju novac za lažne pasoše kako bi konačno mogli otići iz Atine. Kada Reda potroši njihov teško zarađeni novac na drogu, Chatila kuje ekstreman plan da sebe i svoga najboljeg prijatelja izvuče iz beznadežnog okruženja u kojem se nalaze prije nego što bude kasno. Plan podrazumijeva da se njih dvojica pretvaraju da su krijumičari ljudima i uzmu taoce.

Mahdi Fleifel je palestinsko-danski reditelj, a diplomirao je u Državnoj školi za film i televiziju u Velikoj Britaniji.

Ameen se našao u procjepu između porodičnih obaveza i važnog razgovora za posao i njegovo jutro ispunjeno je nizom haotičnih i smiješnih nezgoda. Usred lustera koji se ruše, slomljenih vaza i zahtjeva dominantnog punca, Ameenova trka sa vremenom pretvara se u smiješno propitivanje životnih prioriteta i nepredvidivosti života.

Karim Emara nedavno je diplomirao na Univerzitetu Northwestern u Kataru i trenutno pohađa magistarski studij filmske umjetnosti i medija na Koledžu Emerson. Napisao je i režirao film LUSTER koji je dobio finasijsku podršku Studija 20Q i prikazan je na filmskim festivalima širom svijeta.

Amid falling chandeliers, shattered vases, and an imposing father-in-law’s demands, Ameen’s frantic race against time becomes a hilarious exploration of priorities and the unpredictability of life.

Karim Emara recently graduated from Northwestern University in Qatar and is pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Film and Media at Emerson College. He wrote and directed THE CHANDELIER, which received a grant from Studio 20Q and has been screened at film festivals around the world.

Árni

Osjetljivi, pticoliki Árni radi kao majstor u malom, trošnom putujućem cirkusu koji nastupa po selima. Svi članovi cirkuske trupe osim Árnija porodično su povezani. Árni živi poput monaha, provodeći dane hraneći životinje i obavljajući različite zadatke. Cirkus nabavlja novoga pitona koji pobuđuje Árnijevu radoznalost. Proces pripitomljavanja zmije postepeno će promijeniti Árnija.

Dorka Vermes rođena je 1990. godine u Budimpešti. Studirala je književnost i historiju filma na Univerzitetu ELTE u rodnom gradu. Završila je magistarski studij filmske režije na Filmskoj akademiji u Beču, a koji je započela na Univerzitetu za film i pozorište u Budimpešti. Njeni kratki filmovi ANYÁK NAPJA i ALBA VULVA prikazani su na brojnim filmskim festivalima. ÁRNI, njen dugometražni prvijenac, premijerno je prikazan u programu Biennale College Cinema Filmskog festivala u Veneciji.

E Sensitive and bird-like, Árni works as a handyman at a small, dingy travelling circus that tours rural areas. The troupe is made up of a family that runs the circus, and Árni is the only non-family member. He lives like a monk; his days revolve around feeding the animals and executing various tasks. The circus gets a new python, which inspires curiosity in Árni. The process of taming the creature gradually has an impact on him.

Dorka Vermes was born in Budapest in 1990. She studied literature and film history at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Budapest. After beginning studies in film directing at the University of Film and Theatre of Budapest, she completed her MA studies at the Film Academy Vienna. Vermes’s short films MOTHER’S DAY and ALBA VULVA were selected for numerous festivals. ÁRNI, her feature-length debut, had its premiere at this year’s Biennale College Cinema section of the Venice International Film Festival.

Le Vourdalak / Vukodlak / The Vourdalak

Nakon što ga napadnu i ostave u zabačenom seoskom kraju, markiz d’Urfé, časni emisar kralja Francuske, pronalazi utočište na jezivom, izolovanom imanju. Porodica koja tu živi nevoljko ga prima te se ponašaju čudno dok očekuju skori povratak kući njihovog oca Gorche. Čudna situacija prerasta u pravu noćnu moru kada se Gorcha vrati kući kao naizgled potpuno promijenjena osoba.

Adrien Beau je studirao scenske umjetnosti na Univerzitetu Paris 8. Od 2005. je radio kao dizajner za Johna Galliana i Christiana Diora. Nakon što je kratko radio kao pozorišni reditelj, režirao je kratke horor filmove LA PETITE SIRENE i LES CONDIMENTS IRRÉGULIERS. Kao vizuelni umjetnik često sarađuje sa agnès b., koja redovno izlaže njegove radove. VUKODLAK je njegov prvi dugometražni film.

E When the Marquis d’Urfé, a noble emissary of the King of France, is attacked and abandoned in the remote countryside, he finds refuge at an eerie, isolated manor. The resident family, reluctant to take him in, exhibits strange behaviour as they await the imminent return of their father, Gorcha. What begins as merely strange quickly devolves into a full-fledged nightmare when Gorcha comes home, seemingly no longer himself.

Adrien Beau studied performing arts at Paris 8 University. Starting in 2005, he worked as a designer for John Galliano and Christian Dior. After a stint as a theatre director, he directed the short horror films LA PETITE SIRENE and LES CONDIMENTS IRRÉGULIERS. As a visual artist, he often collaborates with agnès b., who regularly exhibits his work. THE VOURDALAK is his first feature-length film.

Ma famille chérie / Moja voljena porodica... / My

Darling Family...

Estelle bježi od porodičnog nasilja kako bi se našla s majkom prije velikog porodičnog okupljanja. Njene sestre, polubraća i Kraljica, matrijarh porodice, okupljaju se i međusobno dijele uspomene i emocije. Dolazak Marca, koji je bio odsutan od djetinjstva, kao i njegova namjera da raspe pepeo njihovog oca u moru, oživljava stare sukobe. Usred svađa i otkrivanja tajni, porodica se suočava sa vlastitom prošloću.

Isild Le Besco je radila ispred kamere od osme godine života, a do ranih dvadesetih postala je zaštitno lice francuskog autorskog filma, što joj je donijelo dvije nominacije za Césara i Nagradu za najbolju glumicu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji. Njen rediteljski prvenac POLUCIJENA ukazao je na njenu sklonost da film ne koristi kako bi pričala priče već da ih bilježi svojom kamerom. Do svoga trećeg filma BAS-FONDS LeBesco se profilirala kao “divlje dijete francuske kinematografije”, kako ju je u jednom naslovu predstavio New York Times. Film je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu.

E Estelle escapes domestic violence to join her mother before a family reunion. Her sisters, halfbrothers, and the matriarch, Queen, come together, sharing emotions and memories. The arrival of Marc, who has been absent since childhood, and his intention to scatter their father’s ashes at sea, rekindle old grudges. Amid conflict and revelations, the family confronts its past.

Isild Le Besco has worked in front of the camera since she was eight, and by her early twenties was a face of French auteur cinema, with two César nominations and a Best Actress Award from the Venice International Film Festival. Her directorial debut, HALF-PRICE, indicated her instinct to use films not to tell stories but to capture them with her camera. By her third movie, BAS-FONDS, Le Besco had established herself as, in the words of a “New York Times” headline, the “wild child of French cinema.” The film had its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival.

What Happens Later / Šta biva poslije?

Bivši ljubavnici Bill i Willa ostaju zameteni snijegom i prisiljeni su provesti noć na malom regionalnom aerodromu. Maštovita Willa i racionalni Bill podjednako se privlače i iritiraju jedno drugo kao i decenijama ranije. Dok raspakuju zagonetke zajedničke prošlosti i upoređuju svoje živote sa snovima koje su nekada dijelili, počinju se pitati da li je njihov ponovni susret puka slučajnost ili svojevrsna čarolija.

Meg Ryan posvetila se glumi nakon studija novinarstva na Univerzitetu u New Yorku. Debitirala je u filmu Georgea Cukora, BOGATE I SLAVNE. Njen komični potencijal prvi put je prepoznat u filmu KADA JE HARRY SREO SALLY reditelja Roba Reinera. Uloga u tom filmu donijela joj je prvu nominaciju za nagradu Zlatni globus. Nakon toga ostvarila je vodeću ulogu, uz Toma Hanksa, u hit komediji Nore Ephron BESANI U SEATTLU, za koju je po drugi put nominirana za nagradu Zlatni globus. Sa Ephronovom je posljednji put sarađivala na filmu IMAŠ POŠTU, koji joj je donio svjetsku slavu, kao i treću nominaciju za nagradu Zlatni globus. Ryan je nominovana i za nezavisnu Spirit nagradu za ulogu u filmu OBEĆANA ZEMLJA. Debitirala je kao rediteljka 2015. sa filmom ITHACA, zasnovanom na romanu Wiliama Saroyana “Ljudska komedija”.

E Ex-lovers Bill and Willa get snowed in at a regional airport overnight. Indefinitely delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find themselves just as attracted to—and annoyed by—one another as they did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something more enchanted.

Meg Ryan embarked on her acting career after studying journalism at New York University. She made her motion-picture debut in RICH AND FAMOUS, directed by George Cukor. Ryan first saw her comedic appeal widely recognised for playing in WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, directed by Rob Reiner. The role netted Ryan her first Golden Globe Award nomination. She went on to star opposite Tom Hanks in Nora Ephron’s hit romantic comedy SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, for which she received her second Golden Globe nomination. Her final collaboration with Ephron was the romantic comedy YOU’VE GOT MAIL, which once again brought Ryan international recognition as well as a third Golden Globe nomination. Ryan earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for her performance in PROMISED LAND. In 2015, she made her film directorial debut with ITHACA, based on the novel “The Human Comedy” by William Saroyan.

BH Film 2024

Ovogodišnji program BH filma donosi pedeset tri naslova koji predstavljaju sve što su naši autori i producenti snimali proteklu godinu. U programu ćemo predstaviti dvadeset pet dugometražnih filmova od kojih je osam igranih i sedamnaest dokumentarnih filmova. Tu su ubrojane i tri koprodukcije i osam filmova koji su rađeni na temu u vezi s Bosnom i Hercegovinom, a koje su snimali strani autori. Kratkometražna produkcija također je bogata i predstavit ćemo ukupno pet igranih i devet dokumentarnih filmova.

U studentskoj konkurenciji predstavljamo jedanaest filmova iz Sarajeva i Banja Luke (Akademija scenskih umjetnosti Univerziteta u Sarajevu i Akademija umjetnosti Univerziteta u Banjoj Luci) koji će se takmičiti za tri nagrade. Ovo će biti dvanaesta godina takmičarskog programa studentske selekcije, a četrnaesta godina od osnivanja ovog programa.

Kao specijalne projekcije predstavit ćemo dva kratka filma nastala u sklopu projekta Shoot Your Film koji je razvijan u okviru projekta „Kultura i kreativnost za Zapadni Balkan” (CC4WBs), te jedan omnibus koji je nastao kao rezultat nastavnog zadatka studenata Akademije scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu.

S dvadeset sedam svjetskih, dvije međunarodne, tri evropske i pet regionalnih premijera ovogodišnji BH filmski program pruža temeljit uvid u sve bogatstvo godišnje filmske produkcije Bosne i Hercegovine.

E This 2024 edition of the BH Film Programme includes fifty-three films created and produced by Bosnian and Herzegovinian auteurs and producers over the past twelve months. The program presents twenty-five feature films, of which eight are narrative and seventeen documentary. Three are BiH co-productions, and eight are foreign productions whose topics relate to our country. Our offering of short films in also abundant, including as it does five narrative and nine documentary films.

In the student competition, eleven films from Sarajevo and Banja Luka, by students of the Academy of Performing Arts of Sarajevo University and of the Art Academy of Banja Luka University, vie for three awards. This is the twelfth edition of the competitive student film section and the fourteenth anniversary of the inauguration of this programme.

We also present special screenings of two films produced as part of the Shoot Your Film Project, part of the Culture and Creativity for the Western Balkans initiative, as well as of an anthology film created as part of the education process by the students of the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo.

With twenty-seven world, two international, three European, and five regional premieres, this year’s edition of the BH Film Programme offers deep insight into the wealth of films produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina over the past year.

Mračna komedija o trupi glumaca u provinciji koja pokušava donijeti prazničnu radost djeci u poslijeratnoj, vjerski podijeljenoj zemlji izvodeći predstavu o Djedu Mrazu. Međutim, suočavaju se sa zabranama predstave zbog etničkih i vjerskih predrasuda između katolika i muslimana koji žive i vladaju u Bosni. Veliki problem je što je Djed Mraz, u starim danima prije rata, u zemlji također bio komunist. Priča se temelji na istinitim događajima.

A dark comedy about a troupe of actors deep in the provinces trying to bring holiday joy to children in a post-war, religiously divided country by putting on a Santa Claus play. But they face bans on the play due to ethnic and religious prejudices between the Catholics and Muslims who live and rule in Bosnia. A big problem is that in the old days before the war, Santa Claus in the country was also a communist. The story is based on true events.

Badema, lokalna zavodnica, upoznaje Bećira koji je upravo otpušten iz zatvora. Niti razlika u godinama, niti činjenica da Badema ima kćerku nepoznatog oca, ne sprječavaju ih da se zbliže. Kuduz sanja o tome kako će pokrenuti svoju vlastitu građevinsku firmu, a Badema radi u lokalnom restoranu u kojem čovjeku nikada ne može biti dosadno. Badema je takva da nije stvorena da živi kao kućanica, dok je Kuduz, čovjek koji želi u kući imati upravo takvu ženu, stalno rastrgan svojom prošlošću, ljubomorom, strašću i ljubavlju. Njih dvoje se sukobljavaju, bore, razdvajaju i ponovo spajaju, sve dok se priča naglo ne završi tragičnim krajem.

Shortly after getting out of prison, Bećir, better known by his nickname Kuduz, meets local temptress Badema. Their love flourishes despite Badema being much younger than Kuduz and having a daughter whose father she had listed as unknown. Kuduz dreams about starting his own construction company while Badema works in a local restaurant where everyone always has a good time. Badema resists Kuduz’s demands to become a housewife leaving him torn with passion and jealousy and obsessing about his past. Constant quarrels, separations and reconciliations inevitably lead their relationship to a tragic end.

Netom nakon završenog Drugog svjetskog rata, pet muškaraca pokušava švercom duhana iz Hercegovine u Bosnu spasiti svoje obitelji od velike gladi. Na tom ilegalnom, švercerskom putu, koji ih vodi preko kanjona, šuma i planinskih gudura, još uvijek se nalaze ostaci sukobljenih vojski, a policijska uhićenja ili likvidacije događaju se na svakom koraku. Dok oni potajno hodaju planinama, u stalnom strahu od hapšenja, u njihovim glavama lebde duhovi prošlosti iz prošlog rata.

Shortly after the end of the Second World War, five men attempt to smuggle tobacco from Herzegovina to Bosnia to save their families from severe hunger. On this illegal smuggling route that takes them through canyons, forests, and mountainous ravines, there are still remnants of the warring armies, and police arrests or liquidations happen at every turn. As they secretly walk through the mountains in constant fear of being captured, the ghosts of the past war linger in their minds.

Film govori o ulozi i moći obrazovanja u sprječavanju budućih zločina, upoređujući Ruandu i Bosnu i Hercegovinu. U Ruandi, gdje su počinioci genocida priznali zločine i ponovno integrisani u društvo, obrazovanje podstiče jedinstvo i izliječenje. Dok u Bosni i Hercegovini, u Srebrenici, genocid ostaje tabu tema u školama, ostavljajući podijeljene, poluprazne zajednice u poricanju i mržnji. Ovaj potresni dokumentarac naglašava koliko je priznanje prošlosti ključno za oporavak i pomirenje društva.

The film explores the power of education in preventing future atrocities by comparing Rwanda and Bosnia-Herzegovina. In Rwanda, where genocide perpetrators have confessed and reintegrated into society, education fosters unity and healing. While in Bosnia, in Srebrenica, the genocide remains a taboo subject in schools, leaving a divided, half-empty community mired in denial and hatred. This poignant documentary highlights how acknowledging the past is crucial for a society’s recovery and reconciliation.

U srcu Evrope, jedan od najzagađenijih gradova na svijetu ujedinio je svoje građane u zajedničkoj borbi za održivu budućnost. Ali novac, moć i ekološka politika pokazuju se kao toksični protivnici, jednako kao i fabrika koja im odnosi živote.

Bekir i Ado Hasanović, otac i sin, obojica su preživjeli genocid u Srebrenici devedesetih godina. Dok je Ado otišao UN-ovim konvojem zajedno s majkom i braćom, Bekir je prošao kroz tzv. “marš smrti”, put kojim je dvanaest do petnaest hiljada muškaraca (prema podacima ICTY-a) očajnički pokušavalo pobjeći od masakra koji je brisao Bošnjake iz te regije. Dvadeset i četiri godine kasnije, Ado i njegov otac hodaju istim putem zajedno. Ova šetnja će im pružiti priliku da se suoče s onim što su prošli i da po prvi put u životu razgovaraju jedan s drugim o svom iskustvu.

Bekir and Ado Hasanović, father and son, both survived the Srebrenica genocide of the Nineties. While Ado left on a UN convoy together with his mother and siblings, Bekir went through the so-called “death march”, the path through which twelve-to fifteen thousand men (as reported in ICTY Court Records) desperately tried to escape from the massacre that was erasing Bosnian Muslims from the region. Twenty-four years later, Ado and his father walk down the same path together. The walk will give the two men the opportunity to face what they went through and to speak with each other of their experience, for the first time in their lives.

Emin živi u srcu Bosne i Hercegovine, u kući na rubu jednog sela nedaleko od Srebrenice. Pozne godine života provodi u društvu svoga vjernog konja. Eminova monotona svakodnevnica krije njegove duboke rane. Emin se probija kroz snjegove i snažne vjetrove, provodi sate radeći na hladnoći i prihvatajući okrutnost prirode, pronalazeći malo utjehe kraj svoje tople peći. Olakšanje i predah u tugovanju pronalazi u kratkim razgovorima.

In the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in a house at the edge of a village near Srebrenica, lives Emin. In his twilight years, he toils alongside his faithful horse. The monotonous rhythm of Emin’s daily life hides a deep wound. He breaks through the snow and strong wind or works for long hours in the bitter cold, embracing the harshness of nature and finding little solace in the warmth of his stove. He seeks relief and a brief respite from his grief in fleeting conversations.

NORMALAN ŽIVOT prikazuje svakodnevnicu četiri Bosanke koje su bile primorane da napuste svoju domovinu zbog posljedica ratova u bivšoj Jugoslaviji i koje od tada rade kao čistačice u Beču. Dobijamo uvid u njihove živote, njihov rad, njihovu želju da izgrade novi život i njihov način prevazilaženja traume. Kroz individualne priče žena, saznajemo više o historijskom i političkom kontekstu rata i možemo povući paralele sa trenutnom situacijom koja je obilježena nezaposlenošću i nesigurnošću, ali uprkos svemu i nadom.

A NORMAL LIFE shows the personal everyday life of four Bosnian women who were forced to flee their home country due to the consequences of the Yugoslav Wars and have been working as cleaning women in Vienna ever since. We get personal insights into their lives, their work, their urge to build a new life and their personal way of overcoming trauma. Through the individual stories of the women, we find out more about the historical and political background of the war in its entirety and can draw parallels to the current situation, which is characterized by unemployment and uncertainty, but despite everything also by hope.

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. Jasnije postaje da su umjetnost i kreativnost za Mirzu i Semu ne samo igra, već sredstvo preživljavanja.

PUCAJTE, JA I SADA DRŽIM ČAS / SHOOT, I’M STILL TEACHING

Dokumentarni film PUCAJTE, JA I SADA DRŽIM ČAS, priča je o obrazovanju tokom 1.425 dana opsade Sarajeva. Ovo je priča o ženama koje su ostavljale svoju djecu, roditelje i pod kišom granata vraćale svjetlo u podrumske učionice. U podrumu su učenicima pričale, pjevale, pisale, vraćale nadu, davale sve od sebe da najmlađi, bar na trenutak, mislima izađu iz ratnog užasa. Proces obrazovanja u opkoljenom Sarajevu jedinstven je simbol hrabrosti i otpora. Upravo, ovaj dokumentarac svjedoči o nevjerovatnim uspjesima koje su postigli sarajevska djeca i tinejdžeri zajedno sa svojim učiteljima i nastavnicima.

The documentary film SHOOT, I’M STILL TEACHING is a story about education during the 1,425-day siege of Sarajevo. This is the story of women who left their children, parents and, under the rain of shells, returned the light to the basement classrooms. In the basement, they talked to them, sang, wrote, restored hope to the children, and did everything they could to help the youngest escape the nightmare of war, if only for a moment. The education process in besieged Sarajevo is a unique symbol of courage and resistance. In fact, this documentary testifies to the incredible successes achieved by Sarajevo children and teenagers together with their teachers.

SAFET ZEC: PUT MAJSTORSTVA / SAFET ZEC: THE MASTERS’ PATH

Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2024, DCP, color, 93 min. • Režija / Director: Gorčin Zec • Scenarij / Screenwriter: Merima Spahić • Direktor fotografije / Director of Photography: Mustafa Mustafić • Montaža / Editor: Damir Pirić • Muzika / Music: Sergio Slatinac • Dizajn zvuka / Sound Designer: Adnan Žilić • Producenti / Producers: Ivanka Zec, Mustafa Mustafić • Producentske kuće / Production Companies: Fondacija Ivanka i Safet Zec, Panglas • Kontakt / Contact: atelje.zec@gmail.com

Rođen tokom masovnog egzodusa u Drugom svjetskom ratu, Safet Zec odrasta u Sarajevu. Od malih nogu otkriva svoju strast za slikanjem kroz radove majstora poput Rembrandta, slijedi svoju umjetničku viziju, uprkos tome što mu nije mjesto u svijetu savremene umjetnosti. Tragedija rata ponovo pogađa, prisiljavajući ga da pobjegne u Italiju, zemlju starih majstora slikarstva, gdje će neminovno pronaći put da se i kao majstor afirmiše.

Born during the mass exodus of World War II, Safet Zec grew up in Sarajevo. From an early age, he discovered his passion for painting through the works of masters like Rembrandt, following his artistic vision despite not fitting into the contemporary art world. The tragedy of war struck again, forcing him to flee to Italy, the land of old painting masters, where he would inevitably find his path to establishing himself as a master.

POSLJEDNJI KAUBOJ je dokumentarni film o vječnom sanjaru iz Bosne i Hercegovine, Hariju Džeksonu. O čovjeku koji je iz svojih snova o tome da bude herojski kauboj koji bi spasio svijet, stvorio iluzornu stvarnost, u kojoj je rijeka Drina zamijenila Rio Bravo, a Santa Fe postao bosanski grad Bijeljina. Američki divlji zapad bio mu je nedostižan, pa je stvorio svoj vlastiti kod kuće i šezdesetih godina promijenio ime iz Aljuš Musli u Hari Džekson. Bio je fotograf i ljubitelj vesterna, snimio je nekoliko njih, ali nažalost nijedan nije bio dovršen. Kada se svijet o kojem je sanjao srušio zbog rata, srušili su se i njegovi snovi zajedno s njim. Njegov film ostao je nedovršen. Ali neki od njegovih prijatelja pokušali su završiti otvoreni kraj koji je ostavio.

About a man who created an illusory reality from his dreams of being a heroic cowboy, who would save the world, in which the river Drina replaced the Rio bravo and Santa Fe became the Bosnian town of Bijeljina. The American wild west was out of his reach so he created his own right at home and in the sixties changed his name from Aljuš Musli to Hari Džekson. He was a photographer and fan of westerns and he filmed a couple of them, but unfortunately none were ever finished. When the world he dreamed about collapsed due to the war, so did his dreams collapse and he along with them. His film remained unfinished. But some of his friends tried to finish the open ending he had left.

Desetine migranata iz Azije i Afrike utope se svake godine u rijekama između Srbije, Bosne i Hercegovine i Hrvatske. Većina njih je sahranjena na lokalnim grobljima, bez uzimanja uzorka za DNK analizu. To zapravo znači da njihove porodice nikada neće saznati šta im se dogodilo, niti gdje su im grobovi. Dok su procedure identifikacije i vraćanja tijela veoma komplikovane i finansijski nedostižne za porodice, institucije ne žele da učestvuju. Nadu pružaju pojedinci iz sistema koji svjesno krše zakonske procedure da bi pomogli porodicama.

Dozens of migrants from Asia and Africa drown every year in the rivers between Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia. Most of them are buried in local cemeteries without DNA samples being taken for analysis. This means that their families will never know what happened to them or where their graves are. While identification procedures and the repatriation of bodies are extremely complicated and financially out of reach for families, institutions are unwilling to participate. Hope is provided by individuals within the system who knowingly break legal procedures to help the families.

Film prati mladu rediteljku koja želi da snimi svoj studentski film, ali se njen set pretvara u pravu komediju prepreka: Automobil joj se pokvari, snimatelj izgubi memorijske kartice, glavni glumci kasne, te se na setu pojavi njen ljubomorni dečko, sve to eskalira u neočekivani incident, a rediteljka počinje da se pita da li je to stvarno put kojim je oduvijek željela da ide. The film follows a young director who wants to shoot her student film, but her set turns into a real comedy of obstacles: Her car breaks down, the cameraman loses the memory cards, the lead actors are late, and her jealous boyfriend shows up on set. All of this escalates into an unexpected incident, and the director begins to wonder if this is really the path she has always wanted to take.
