Holy Father / Tatal nostru

Romania, 2020, Colour, 85 min, Romanian Režija / Director: Andrei Dăscălescu Scenarij / Screenplay: Andrei Dăscălescu

Filmski autor i njegova djevojka saznaju da će postati roditelji. Dok buduća majka s mukom pokušava izaći na kraj s pogrešnim uzorima koje pronalazi u okrilju vlastite razorene porodice, budući otac se mora pomiriti s davno izgubljenim ocem koji se zamonašio na planini Atos. I dok devet mjeseci trudnoće prolazi, potraga za odgovorima i pomirenjem – ponekad iznimno napeta i puna gorčine – kao da otvara put za nešto puno značajnije. Od sibirskih tajgi preko nedirnutih šuma u Rumuniji i prašuma u Peruu: širom svijeta ilegalna sječa šume pojedincima donosi ogroman profit. Potrošači u razvijenim zapadnim zemljama sretni su zbog niskih cijena u prodavnicama drvnih proizvoda i namještaja, ali bez sumnje bi bili šokirani kada bi znali odakle to što kupuju vuče porijeklo. Alexander von Bismarck, pra-pra-pranećak Željeznog kancelara, godinama progoni pripadnike drvne mafije. Kao predsjednik Agencije za istraživanje zločina protiv prirode sa sjedištem u Washingtonu, stalno je na terenu. Ne ustručava se prerušavati i pretvarati da je neko drugi, kao ni koristiti skrivena tehnička pomagala kako bi rasvijetlio ilegalne aktivnosti. E The filmmaker and his girlfriend are faced with the news of becoming parents. While the future mother is struggling with no worthy role models in her broken home, the soon-to-be-father must come to terms with his long-lost father, now a monk on Mount Athos. But as the nine months go by, the quest for answers and reconciliation – sometimes full of anxiety and resentment – seem to be making way for something much more

meaningful.

E From the taiga in Siberia to the primary forests of Romania to the primeval Peruvian jungle: around the world, billions of dollars are made from illegal logging. First-world consumers are happy about low prices at the hardware and furniture stores, but would doubtless be shocked if they knew the origins of these goods. Alexander von Bismarck, great-great-great-nephew of the Iron Chancellor, has been on the timber mafia’s trail for years. As the head of the Environmental Investigation Agency in Washington, DC, he takes to the road tirelessly. He doesn’t shy away from changing his persona and appearance and employing concealed technical means to bring illegal activities to light.

Porodica Enache – devetero djece i njihovi roditelji – dvije decenije živjeli su u kolibi u divljini bukureštanske delte, jednog od najvećih urbanih prirodnih rezervata na svijetu s jezerima i stotinama životinjskih i rijetkih biljnih vrsta. Kada vlasti odluče preuzeti taj jedinstveni urbani ekosistem, porodicu Enache deložiraju i sele u grad koji za njih predstavlja nepoznat svijet. Djeca koja su život provela u divljini moraju se navići na gradski život. Umjesto da plivaju u jezeru, moraju ići u školu, a svoje ribarske štapove mijenjaju za mobilne telefone. Njihov identitet je doveden u pitanje i preobražen ujedno s njihovim osjećajem slobode i porodičnim vezama.

U Sarajevu je 8. septembra 2019. prvi put organizovana Povorka ponosa. Povorke ponosa danas su nezaobilazan događaj u svim evropskim glavnim gradovima iako su pripadnici LGBTQI+ zajednica u mnogim od njih daleko od toga da se u potpunosti izbore za svoja prava. U Bosni i Hercegovini, kompleksnoj zemlji koja i dalje traži inkluzivan pristup pripadnicima te zajednice, a istovremeno se nosi s ratnim traumama, Povorka ponosa bila je preloman događaj u smislu javne percepcije LGBTQI+ osoba i njihovog prava na vidljivost.

Acasă, moj dom / Acasă, My Home

Romania, Germany, Finland, 2020, Colour, 86 min, Romanian Režija / Director: Radu Ciorniciuc Scenarij / Screenplay: Lina Vdovii, Radu Ciorniciuc

E For two decades, the Enache family – nine children and their parents – lived in a shack in the wilderness of the Bucharest Delta: an abandoned water reservoir, one of the biggest urban natural reservations in the world, containing lakes and hundreds of species of animals and rare plants. When the authorities decide to reclaim this rare urban ecosystem, the Enaches are evicted and told to resettle in the city – a reality they know nothing about. Kids who used to spend their days in nature have to learn about city life, go to school instead of swimming in the lake, and swap their fishing rods for mobile phones. Their identity has been questioned and transformed, along with their sense of freedom and family ties.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, 2020, Colour, 16 min, Bosnian, English Režija / Director: Ado Hasanović Scenarij / Screenplay: Ado Hasanović, Chiara Cruciatti, Prisca van der Mullen

E On 8 September 2019, Sarajevo hosted its first Pride March. Today, Pride marches are an unmissable event in all the major European cities, even though in many countries official recognition of equal rights for the LGBTQI+ community is still far from being secure. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, a complex country still torn by the aftermath of war and that is striving for an inclusive approach towards this community, this march marked a turning point in the general perception of the LGBTQI+ community in the country and of its right to exist.

Priča mojih majki / Her Mothers

Hungary, 2020, Colour, 75 min, Hungarian Režija / Director: Asia Dér, Sári Haragonics Scenarij / Screenplay: Asia Dér, Sári Haragonics

Zahvaljujući sve većoj radikalizaciji na mađarskoj političkoj sceni, Virág – nekadašnja članica Stranke zelenih – gubi vjeru u demokratičnost mađarskog parlamenta i povlači se iz politike. Ona i njena partnerica Nóra, inače muzičarka, odlučuju usvojiti dijete i posvetiti se osnivanju porodice. Asia Dér i Sári Haragonics prate te dvije žene tokom njihove duge i u konačnici uspješne borbe da usvoje djevojčicu romskog porijekla i dovedu je kući. Međutim, nakon ostvarenog cilja, napetost između protagonistica raste jer dok Virág uživa u ulozi majke, Nora se muči da pronađe svoje mjesto u njihovoj porodici. Komunistički ideali odavno su izgubili vrijednost u Yiwuu, gradu sa preko 600 božićnih fabrika u kojima se proizvodi sve što je potrebno za Božić širom svijeta. Zahvaljujući porastu plata, radnici u fabrikama mogu priuštiti da kupe najnovije telefone iPhone, ali još uvijek žive nagurani u radničkim barakama. Svi redom su migranti u vlastitoj zemlji, čeznu za dalekim destinacijama, nekima nedostaje porodica koju su ostavili u rodnom mjestu, a drugima, pak, kada se za praznike vrate kući, nedostaju prijatelji i ljubavnici iz fabrika u kojima rade. Mladim radnicima već su dosadili dugi radni sati, hemijska isparenja i šljokice, i ne zanima ih što njihovi roditelji žele da se oni obrazuju. E As Hungary’s political climate becomes increasingly radicalized, Virág, a former green politician, loses faith in the pretending-to-be democratic parliament of Hungary and retires from politics. She and her musician partner Nóra decide to adopt a child and focus on building a family together. Asia Dér and Sári Haragonics follow the two women through their lengthy and ultimately successful adoption process to bring home their young daughter of Roma origin. But tensions begin to rise between the two as Virág thrives in her role as a mother and Nóra struggles to find her place within the family.

REGIONALNA PREMIJERA / REGIONAL PREMIERE Merry Christmas, Yiwu

Scenarij / Screenplay: Mladen Kovačević E Communist ideals have long lost their value in Yiwu, China, a city that features 600 Christmas factories, in which Christmas as we know it is produced for the entire world. With rising wages, workers in these factories can now afford the newest iPhones, but they still live in crowded dormitories. All of them are migrants in their own country, nostalgic for some faraway place; some miss their families left in hometowns, other miss their friends and lovers from the factories when they go home for holidays. The younger generation is already tired of long factory hours, chemical fumes and glitter particles, and they do not care for their parents’ wishes that they become educated.

SVJETSKA PREMIJERA / WORLD PREMIERE Mir naše Gospe / Our Lady’s Peace

Montenegro, 2020, Colour, 18 min, No Dialogue Režija / Director: Vladimir Perović Scenarij / Screenplay: Vladimir Perović

Junak, protagonista ili trpilac ove priče jeste mjesto mira, čistoće i spokoja: skoro pet stoljeća staro svetilište na usamljenom ostrvcetu – Gospa od Škripjela, ispred Perasta u Boki Kotorskoj. Danas na njega nasrće čudan antagonista, s više lica: brzina, buka, površnost i taština modernog doba. Nebesko naspram zemaljskog, prolazno naspram vječnog, materijalno naspram duhovnog… ZACIJELI ME je dokumentarni film o posljedicama koje trpe žrtve i počinioci seksualnog nasilja, zasnovan na intimnim svjedočenjima osoba koje su preživjele seksualni napad. Film kombinuje svjedočanstva osoba koje su preživjele seksualni napad i sekvence iz njihovog kasnijeg života, postavljajući pitanje šta se može smatrati oporavkom. Autorica filma Danijela Štajnfeld snagu crpi iz empatije jer je i sama, kao mlada glumica u Srbiji, bila žrtva seksualnog nasilja. Nakon što je izgubila mogućnost da sigurno priča o napadu koji je doživjela, skupila je hrabrost da kroz proces susreta i intervjua svoju priču podijeli s drugima koji su prošli kroz slična iskustva. E The hero, main protagonist, or sufferer of this story is a place of peace, purity and comfort: Our Lady of the Rocks, a five-century-old church on a lonely islet off the coast of Perast in the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. Today, it is under assault by an unusual, multi-faced antagonist: the speed, noise, shallowness and vanity of modern times. Divine against worldly, transient against timeless, the

material against the spiritual…

Serbia, United States, 2020, Colour, 75 min, English, Serbian Režija / Director: Danijela Štajnfeld Scenarij / Screenplay: Danijela Štajnfeld

E HOLD ME RIGHT is a documentary that explores the aftermath of sexual assault through intimate first-hand testimonies that unveil the culture of sexual violence as it affects both survivors and perpetrators alike.

Filmmaker Danijela Stajnfeld finds power in empathy as she wrestles with her own experience of surviving an assault as a young actress in Serbia.

Osamdesetih godina prošlog vijeka mnogi mladi ljudi u Mađarskoj sanjali su o odmoru u jedinstvenom ljetnom kampu, magičnom mjestu gdje su se mogli pretvarati da su neko drugi. Harizmatični vođa Epipoa očaravao je djecu, ali nad njihovim nevinim igrama nadvijale su se sjene poniženja i prikrivenog zlostavljanja. E Nenad is a worker at a train repair factory in Prijedor in Bosnia and Herzegovina and, like many young people around him, he plans to go to work and possibly to live in Slovenia.

Na proslavi petnaestogodišnjice mature kolege iz razreda prisjećaju se srednjoškolskih dogodovština. Kako večer odmiče, sljedovi hrane i pića se nižu, razgovori su sve otvoreniji, ali jednu temu s nelagodom izbjegavaju, sve dok ih alkohol ne ohrabri da započnu razgovor o šokantnom pismu koje su svi primili. Pismu u kojem njihova kolegica iznosi svoju mučnu ispovijest o brutalnom zlostavljanju koje je proživljavala kao dijete i srednjoškolka. Istraživanje posebnog svemira: godišnjeg odmora grupe sedamdesetogodišnjakinja. Cica, Nana, Pupi i Elena dobrovoljno se izoluju u seoskoj vili, daleko od muškaraca i zahtjevne svakodnevnice. Dijele uspomene i nostalgiju, melanholiju i sreću, tračeve i zamjerke. Sve kako bi zadržale iluziju da vrijeme nije prošlo, da je sve što im se dogodilo bio jedan dug i iscrpljujući san i da su još uvijek jednako lijepe i mlade kao što su bile prije pedeset godina. E How do we speak about the horror with which we are faced but cannot come to terms with? The classmates have gathered for their fifteenth highschool reunion, reminiscing about their adolescent adventures. As the evening progresses, different dinner courses and drinks are brought out and the conversations become more open, yet there is one topic that everyone avoids, until alcohol encourages them to mention the shocking letter they have all received.

a child and during high school.

Kuća lutaka / House of Dolls

Romania, 2020, Colour, 68 min, Romanian Režija / Director: Tudor Platon Scenarij / Screenplay: Tudor Platon

E An exploration of a special universe: the annual vacation of a group of 70-year-old women. Far from men and the madness of daily life, Cica, Nana, Pupi and Elena isolate themselves voluntarily in a villa in the countryside. Together, they blend memories and nostalgia, melancholia and joy, gossip and reproaches. All this to keep up the illusion that time has not passed, that everything has been a long and exhausting dream. That they are still the same beautiful and attractive girls they were 50 years ago. Now, Cica, Nana, Pupi and Elena are captive in bodies they do not recognise and do not know how to deal with.

Od 2011. u Haifi se svake godine održava jedinstven izbor ljepote. Sve učesnice preživjele su holokaust. Usred tog raskošnog spektakla, koji sponzorira evangelistička crkvena organizacija, učesnice se i dalje bore sa svojim dubokim traumama. Ovaj dokumentarni film istražuje veze između sjećanja, politike i spektakla. Otvarajući nam vrata svog polako odumirućeg svijeta punog mitova, odvažnih susreta, poduhvata i dubokih sagledavanja manje očiglednih tokova društvene stvarnosti, Beto nas također vodi i tamo gdje najviše i sam voli da ide – u nepoznato. Sintetički svijet, nastao radi ovog filma, spaja maleno pustinjsko selo sa Shakespeareom, lokalne legende s romantičnom tragedijom dalekog kontinenta, aktuelnu svakodnevicu s tragovima minulih vremena. Vodeći nas u “središte ove zemlje”, Beto nas dovodi do ostvarenja namjere iskazane u naslovu filma i tačke iz koje se briga o sebi razotkriva kao neraskidivo povezana s brigom o bićima oko sebe.

Scenarij / Screenplay: Tamara Drakulić E By opening the door into his slowly dying world, which is rich in myths, brave encounters, adventures and deep insights into social processes, Beto takes us where he likes going the most: into the unknown. The synthetic world created for this film brings together a small desert village and Shakespeare, local legends and a distant continent’s romantic tragedy, present reality and traces of the old world. By taking us into the “centre of this world,” Beto helps us do what the title of the film calls for: bringing us to a point where caring for oneself is inseparable from caring for others.
