Dobrodošli na 23. Sarajevo Film Festival / Welcome to the 23rd Sarajevo Film Festival U istoriji svakog filmskog festivala postoje godine koje se posebno pamte. Gledaoci ih obično pamte po filmovima i gostima koji su označili pojedinu godinu. Mi, koji osmišljavamo i realiziramo ovaj događaj, posebno pamtimo godine u kojima smo pomicali granice, uvodili nove programe i razvijali Festival do veličine i kvaliteta kakvog poznajete danas.

E In the history of any film festival, there are especially memorable years. Audiences often remember festival editions by films and festival guests; for those of us who organize the Sarajevo Film Festival, the remarkable years are those when we push limits, introduce new sections and grow the Festival in size and calibre.

Izdvojit ću neke od godina koje su, po mom mišljenju, bile presudne za njegov razvoj. Sve je počelo 1995. Bio je to veliki povratak celuloidne trake u opkoljeno Sarajevo bez struje, vode, grijanja i hrane. Organizacija Festivala uslijedila je kao prirodni nastavak onoga što smo građanima Sarajeva nudili u godinama opsade, počevši od 1993. godine, kada smo u našem «ratnom kinu», u podrumu Akademije scenskih umjetnosti, organizirali filmske projekcija sa VHS traka. Danas se u tom istom prostoru odvija sedmodnevni program Talents Sarajevo, koji smo uz pomoć Berlinalea započeli 2007. i koji je namijenjen najtalentovanijim mladim stvaraocima regije.

Some years were particularly important for our growth. It all started in 1995, the year celluloid truly returned to besieged Sarajevo, where people were living without electricity, running water, heating or food. The decision to organise a film festival was a natural extension of what we had been offering to the citizens of Sarajevo during the siege. We started in 1993 by transforming the basement of the Academy of Dramatic Arts into a “war cinema”, where we projected VHS tapes of films. It is in that same space that we now organise a week-long Talents Sarajevo programme, which we launched in 2007 with the support of Berlinale Talents to serve our region’s most talented young filmmakers.

Godine 1996. Festival je dobio svoje prepoznatljive lokacije, koje će postati svojevrsni prostorni logotip Sarajevo Film Festivala i našeg grada. Zahvaljujući izuzetnom zalaganju članova SFF tima i brojnih ljubitelja filma koji su svojim donacijama omogućili izgradnju i opremanje dvije lokacije, te godine gledaoci su mogli uživati u projekcijama u otvorenom kinu u dvorištu Prve gimnazije (Ljetno kino Raiffeisen) i kinu Meeting Point. Uslijedile su godine u kojima smo kreirali programske cjeline koje postoje i danas i čine SFF prepoznatljivim širom Evrope i svijeta. Godine 2000. pokrenut je program «Posvećeno» koji je našoj publici u goste doveo neke od najznačajnijih filmskih autora današnjice. Oni su svojim prisustvom, dijeleći svoje znanje i talenat, dali puni smisao našem nastojanju da inspirišemo nove generacije filmskih stvaralaca Jugoistočne Evrope. Nastojanje da u prvi plan stavimo mlade autore iz regije (Jugoistočne Evrope) konačno je 2003. godine dobilo svoju punu formu u obliku Takmičarskog programa, za igrane i kratke filmove. Iste godine pokrenut je i CineLink koprodukcijski market, kao izraz težnje da regionalnim kreativnim snagama damo izravnu pomoć na putu do realizacije novih filmskih projekata. Godine 2006, uvažavajući činjenicu da naša regija njeguje izvanredno zanimljivu i uspješnu tradiciju dokumentarnog filma, takmičarskim programima dodata je i ova sekcija. Počevši od 2008, u okviru projekta Sarajevo Grad Filma, u nekoliko narednih godina producirali smo 26 kratkih filmova – sa željom da pružimo mogućnost za praktični rad i potaknemo networking učesnika Talents Sarajevo. Snažan razvoj CineLink koprodukcijskog marketa ukazao je na potrebu upotpunjavanja priče o razvoju regionalne filmske prakse. On je danas evoluirao u CineLink Industry Days kojem se, uz koprodukcijski market, dodaju specijalizovani potprojekti, kao što su Regionalni Forum, Work in progress, Docu Rough Cut Boutique, Avantpremiers te CineLink Drama. Danas, pred nama je novi format Festivala koji je nastao kao rezultat nastojanja da integrišemo njegove segmente programiranja, industrije i treninga. Ovi segmenti su sada čvrsto uvezani između sebe u sedam dana intenzivnog djelovanja. Osmi dan festivala ostavljen je za uživanje u filmovima koje će stručni žiri i sarajevska publika odrediti kao one koje vrijedi ponovo gledati. Za Srce Sarajeva, od ove godine, borit će se i najmlađi regionalni autori u okviru novog Takmičarskog programa koji je posvećen budućnosti sedme umjetnosti – današnjim studentima filma. Uživajte u projekcijama, druženju i razgovorima s autorima koje ove godine predvode naši uvaženi gosti John Cleese, Oliver Stone, Joshua Oppenheimer i Michel Franco.

In 1996, we moved to locations that have become symbols of the Festival and of Sarajevo itself. Thanks to the efforts of members of the SFF team and film-lovers who donated funds to construct and equip two screening locations, that year audiences were able to enjoy film projections in an outdoor cinema set up in the playground of the First Sarajevo Grammar School – today, the Raiffeisen Open Air Cinema – and at the Meeting Point Cinema. Over the following years, we developed programme sections that continue today, and that make the Festival recognisable throughout the world. In 2000, we launched the “Tribute to...” section, which has brought prominent contemporary filmmakers to Sarajevo to meet with our audiences. Through their presence and their sharing of their knowledge and talent, these guests have contributed to our mission of inspiring new generations of filmmakers in Southeast Europe. Our resolve to focus on young auteurs from Southeast Europe and the Southern Caucasus came to fruition in 2003, when we introduced competition sections for short and feature-length films. That same year, we initiated the CineLink Co-Production Market to fulfil our goal of helping members of the regional creative community in making new films. In 2006, honouring the lengthy and successful documentary-making tradition of our region, we introduced a competition section for non-fiction films. Since 2008, when we launched the Sarajevo City of Film project, we have produced 26 short films, offering Talents Sarajevo participants the practical experience and networking opportunities. The significant interest in the CineLink Co-Production Market indicated that more needed to be done to help the growth of regional cinema. The market evolved into today’s CineLink Industry Days, which now incorporates a number of specialised sub-projects: Regional Forum, Work in Progress, Docu Rough Cut Boutique, Avant Premieres and CineLink Drama. Now, the Festival has developed a new format to integrate its programming, industry and coaching arms, which are now intertwined during the seven days of the Festival and its Industry Days. The eighth day of the Festival is reserved for enjoyment, featuring repeat screenings of films that our juries and audiences believe deserve to be seen again. As of this year, our youngest auteurs – the film students of our region – compete for the Heart of Sarajevo Awards in a new competition section dedicated to the future of regional cinema. Enjoy the festival screenings, social events and discussions with this year’s guests, among them John Cleese, Michel Franco, Joshua Oppenheimer and Oliver Stone.

Želimir Žilnik međunarodno je priznat reditelj igranih i dokumentarnih filmova i jedan od začetnika žanra doku-drame. Poznat je po filmovima koji su posvećeni savremenim temama i kritički se osvrću na društvena, politička i ekonomska zbivanja. Tema njegovog prvog dugometražnog filma, RANI RADOVI, s kojim je osvojio nagradu Zlatni medvjed Filmskog festivala u Berlinu, bile su studentske demonstracije 1968. godine. Žilnik sredinom sedamdesetih godina prošlog vijeka napušta Jugoslaviju gdje je bio suočen sa cenzurom. Po povratku u Jugoslaviju osamdesetih godina prošloga vijeka, Žilnik režira nekoliko popularnih televizijskih dokudrama, uključujući drame BRUKLIN GUSINJE i STARA MAŠINA, koje su nagovijestile skori raspad Jugoslavije i buđenje nacionalizama. Tokom devedesetih godina prošlog vijeka proizveo je niz nezavisnih dokumentarnih i igranih filmova o napetostima na Balkanu, uključujući filmove. U nedavnom ciklusu filmova, Žilnik problematizira slom sistema vrijednosti u posttranzicijskim zemljama centralne i istočne Evrope, te probleme s kojima se izbjeglice i imigranti suočavaju u novoj „proširenoj” Evropi.

In the 1990s, he produced a number of independent documentary and fiction films about the Balkan turmoil The breakdown of the system of values in post-transitional Central and Eastern Europe and the problems encountered by migrants and refugees within the new, “enlarged” Europe were the focus of his most recent project cycle.

Aktivni i savremeni pristup filmu / Active and Contemporary Approach to Film

Elma Tataragić

Ove godine, više nego ikada, svjetska kinematografija bila je suočena s pitanjem kako sačuvati relevantnost u svijetu neprekidnih društvenih i političkih promjena. Taj izuzetno dinamičan ritam promjena konstantno pomjera granice nekadašnjeg pristojnog i nepristojnog, korektnog i nekorektnog, odnosno, granice ljudskosti i neljudskosti, granice dozvoljenog i jednostavno nezamislivog. Danas ne živimo u mirnom svijetu. Svuda su ratovi, patnje, izbjegličke krize i nevjerovatni strah i mržnja. Možemo reći da živimo u eri konstantnog straha i promjena, ali i u eri nevjerovatne apatije. Intelektualna apatija možda je najopasnija od svih, a paraliza koja je razumljiva nastaje od činjenice da su se iscrpili učinkoviti modeli reagovanja. Ipak, čini se da nam je, više nego ikada, potrebna umjetnost da nas upozori i podsjeti koliko je krhak svijet u kojem živimo. Ovogodišnja selekcija, u kojoj se nalazi sedam filmova u konkurenciji za Srce Sarajeva, i dvije gala projekcije nedavno završenih bh. filmova, donosi nam upravo taj trenutak aktivne savremenosti, i pokazuje svijet iz različitih uglova. Program otvara svjetska premijera filma GRAIN / ZRNO turskog reditelja Semiha Kaplanoğlua. Film donosi distopijsku priču, smještenu u bliskoj budućnosti, u kojoj je jedina vrijednost zrno pšenice koje postaje metafora i simbol života, te preživljavanja općenito. Reditelj se hrabro upušta u priču koja je najbliža naučnoj fantastici, s impozantnom fotografijom i snažnim glumačkim ostvarenjima, među kojima se posebno ističu Jean-Marc Barr te bosanskohercegovački glumac Ermin Bravo. Iz Albanije dolazi svjetska premijera filma DITA ZË FILL / RAĐANJE DANA debitanta Gentiana Koçija koji je razvijan kroz CineLink koprodukcijski market. U centru filma nalazi se Leta, samohrana majka jednogodišnjeg djeteta, koja se zbog teške ekonomske situacije useljava kod stare gospođe. Da bi spasila sebe i svoje dijete, Leta staricu mora održavati u životu. U takvoj situaciji postaje spremna na sve. Film postavlja pitanje granica, ali i pitanje u kolikoj mjeri čovjekovo rasuđivanje ovisi o okolnostima u kojima se nalazi. Gruzijski film MZEVLEBI / TAOCI reditelja Reze Gigineishvilija u Takmičarskom programu imat će svoju regionalnu premijeru, a svjetsku

24 23. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – IGRANI FILM

je imao na Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu u programu Panorama Special. Radnja filma smještena je u 1980-im u Sovjetskoj Gruziji i prati istinitu priču kada je grupa mladih Gruzijaca odlučila da otme avion da bi pobjegli iz Sovjetskog Saveza. Film je izuzetno uzbudljiv i dinamičan te na autentičan način postavlja pitanje slobode, njene važnosti i mogućnosti. Ove godine iz Bugarske dolazi film POSOKI / PRAVCI reditelja Stephana Komandareva, premijerno prikazanom na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu u programu UnCertain Regard. Reditelj kroz niz taksi vožnji tokom jedne noći stvara mozaični portret života u današnjoj Sofiji. Komandarev skače iz jednog taksija u drugi, iz jedne priče u drugu, tako da film često liči na niz kratkih filmova koje povezuje činjenica da svi imaju probleme koje pokušavaju da riješe. Ono što se ističe su egzistencijalni problemi izuzetno karakteristični za ove dijelove svijeta u kojima svaki građanin zna da svi ljudi ipak nisu jednaki. MEDA SAU PARTEA NU PREA FERICITĂ A LUCRURILOR / MEDA ILI NE TAKO SVIJETLA STRANA STVARI debitantski je film reditelja Emanuela Pârvua koji će u Takmičarskom programu imati svjetsku premijeru. Film donosi priču o udovcu koji se mora boriti za djevojčicu čiji staratelj je postao zajedno sa svojom nedavno preminulom ženom. MEDA ILI NE TAKO SVIJETLA STRANA STVARI psihološka je studija o borbi glavnog junaka koja postaje sve intenzivnija i graniči sa egzistencijalnom. O GIOS TIS SOFIAS / SOFIJIN SIN rediteljice Eline Psykou premijerno je prikazan na Tribeca Film Festivalu gdje je nagrađen nagradom za najbolji film. Psykou nam donosi priču o ruskom dječaku koji pokušava da se navikne na svoj novi život u Grčkoj s majkom i njenim novim mužem, starijim Grkom. SOFIJIN SIN bajkovita je priča o odrastanju u kojoj se realnost sudara sa svijetom mašte i fantazije. Iz Gruzije dolazi još jedno ostvarenje, SASHISHI DEDA / STRAŠNA MAJKA, debitantice Ane Urushadze. Film na intrigantan i uzbudljiv način govori o savremenom gruzijskom društvu s posebnim fokusom na žensko-muške odnose unutar porodice. U okviru Takmičarskog programa, ove godine prikazat ćemo i gala projekcije dva nova bosanskohercegovačka filma. MUŠKARCI NE PLAČU / MEN DON’T CRY debitanta Alena


Drljevića donosi priču o ratnim vojnim veteranima dvadeset godina nakon rata, koji za njih nikada nije prestao. Film je nagrađen Specijalnom nagradom žirija na Filmskom festivalu u Karlovym Varyma. Druga gala, s kojom i zatvaramo program, film je BIRDS LIKE US / PTICE KAO MI, reditelja Faruka Šabanovića i Amele Ćuhare. Ovo je prvi bh. igrani dugometražni animirani film, a okupio je sjajnu autorsku i glumačku podjelu. Svaki od odabranih filmova izuzetno aktivno promatra realnost i donosi priče, junake, preokrete koji bude iz apatije i tjeraju na akciju i zauzimanje stava. Selekcija kao da savremenost podiže na još jedan viši i aktivniji nivo. Dobro došli na Takmičarski program 23. Sarajevo Film Festivala. E This year, more than ever, the major issue facing world cinema has been how to remain contemporary – which is to say, how to adapt to an ever-morphing social and political landscape. Accelerating changes keep shifting old rules of what is acceptable and what is not; what is appropriate and what is otherwise – that is, the divide between being human and inhuman, between what is permissible and what is simply unimaginable. We do not live in a peaceful world. Ours is a time of war and suffering, a refugee crisis, and overwhelming fear and hatred. We can say we live in an era marked by perpetual fear and change, as well as a period characterised by deep apathy. Intellectual apathy may well be the most dangerous of all our problems – and the understandable paralysis it brings about is a symptom of the fact that all effective response modules have been exhausted. It appears that we need art now more than ever: creative endeavours as a warning and a reminder of the fragility of the world we live in. The seven films that will vie for the Heart of Sarajevo awards in this year’s Competition Programme are contemporary and actively engaging, and offer a view of the world from several perspectives. The competition programme is complemented by out-of-competition gala screenings of two recently completed Bosnian films.

Turkish director Semih Kaplanoğlu’s GRAIN sees its world premiere as the competition’s opening night film. In this dystopian film set in the near future, a grain is the only thing of value –a metaphor and symbol of life and survival. The director dives bravely into a story that bears all the hallmarks of the sci-fi genre, relying on impressive photography and powerhouse performances by a strong cast, most notably Jean-Marc Barr and Bosnian actor Ermin Bravo. DITA ZË FILL / DAYBREAK, the directorial debut of Albania’s Gentian Koçi, which was developed through the CineLinkCo-Production Market, also sees its world premiere here. The film focuses on Leta, the single mother of a one-yearold boy, who is forced by difficult economic circumstances to move in with an elderly woman. In order to save herself and her child, Leta must keep her landlady alive – and she is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. The film questions the boundaries of socially acceptable behaviour, but also ponders the question of whether, and to what extent, peoples’ actions are dependent upon their living conditions. Georgian director Rezo Gigineishvili’s thriller MZEVLEBI / HOSTAGES has its regional premiere in the competition, after celebrating its world premiere in the Panorama Special section at the Berlinale. Set in the 1980s in the Soviet republic of Georgia, it recounts the true story of a youthful gang of Georgians who decided to hijack a plane in a bid to escape the USSR. HOSTAGES is a dynamic, suspenseful film that authentically examines notions of the importance and possibility of freedom. Bulgaria is represented by Stephan Komandarev’s POSOKI / DIRECTIONS, which premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival. Komandarev paints a picture of life in modern-day Sofia through a series of taxi rides. He jumps from one taxi into another, from one story into another, creating a work that feels like a mosaic of short films bound together by the fact that each centres on a problem requiring a solution. The most prominent of these are existential problems – typical in our part of the world, where everyone knows that all people are not considered equal. Romanian director Emanuel Pârvu’s featurelength debut, MEDA SAU PARTEA NU PREA FERICITĂ A LUCRURILOR / MEDA OR THE NOT SO

BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS has its world premiere here in Sarajevo. The film tells the story of a widower who is fighting to retain custody of a girl he took under his wing together with his recently deceased wife. The psychological study of the main character’s fight grows in intensity until it borders on an existential struggle. Elina Psykou’s drama O GIOS TIS SOFIAS / SON OF SOFIA premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, where it was named Best International Narrative Feature. The film tells the story of a Russian boy who is trying to acclimatise to a new life in Greece with his mother and her new, elderly Greek husband. SON OF SOFIA is a fairytale-esque coming-of-age drama, in which reality commingles with an imaginary world full of fantasy. Ana Urushadze’s first feature, SASHISHI DEDA / SCARY MOTHER, is another Georgian film screening in competition. The film is an intriguing and exciting portrayal of contemporary Georgian society that specifically focuses on male-female relationships in marriage. The programme is rounded off by two out-ofcompetition screenings. Alen Drljević’s fiction feature debut MUŠKARCI NE PLAČU / MEN DON’T CRY brings the story of veterans of Yugoslav wars of the 1990s who are stuck in the past, more than two decades after the end of the conflicts. The film won both the Europa Cinema Label and the Special Jury Prize at the recent Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. The programme closes with a gala screening of PTICE KAO MI / BIRDS LIKE US, the first feature-length animated film from Bosnia and Herzegovina, co-directed by Faruk Šabanović and Amela Ćuhara and featuring an excellent cast and creative team. All the films in this year’s selection actively observe reality, bringing to life stories, heroes and twists that force the viewers to overcome their apathy, and to stand up and take action. It is as though the filmmakers represented here have taken on the task of addressing contemporary issues to a higher and more actively engaging level. Welcome to the Competition Programme of the 23rd Sarajevo Film Festival. Elma Tataragić Selektorica / Programmer

Mdzevlebi / Taoci / Hostages Sovjetska Socijalistička Republika Gruzija 1983. godine. Pripreme za Nikino i Anino vjenčanje, koje njihove elitne porodice doživljavaju kao veliki dan, u punom su zamahu. Međutim, mladenci i njihovi prijatelji pripreme koriste kao paravan iza kojeg kuju planove za odvažan bijeg iz Sovjetskog Saveza. Njihov cilj je da pobjegnu iz svog klaustrofobičnog okruženja, istraže slobodni svijet i riješe se uskogrudog svjetonazora svojih roditelja. Dan nakon vjenčanja, Nika i Ana odluče sprovesti najrizičniji mogući plan: oteti avion na lokalnoj liniji između Tbilisija i Batumija i prisiliti pilota da sleti u Turskoj, najbližoj destinaciji izvan granica Istočnog bloka. Međutim, nakon što avion uzleti, a pritisak se ubrzano povećava, svi planovi otmičara amatera padaju u vodu. Rezo Gigineishvili rođen je 1982. u Tbilisiju. Studirao je na Institutu za kinematografiju Gerasimov (VGIK). Svoj debitantski igrani film HEAT snimio je 2016. godine. Film je u međunarodnoj distribuciji zaradio 15.7 miliona dolara i još uvijek nosi epitet najprofitabilnijeg filma svih vremena na ruskom kino tržištu. Gigineishvili je 2012. godine u Gruziji napisao i režirao romantičnu komediju LOVE WITH ACCENT. Nastavak tog filma, NO BORDERS, koji je sniman na lokacijama u Gruziji, Armeniji, Rusiji i Kazahstanu, pušten je u opticaj 2015. godine. U svome posljednjem filmu TAOCI u potpunosti se posvetio temama od ličnog interesa za njega kao umjetnika. E Soviet Georgia, 1983. Preparations for Nika and Ana’s wedding are in full swing, and it’s a big day for both of their elite families. For the newlyweds and their friends, however, the celebrations are in fact part of a cover-up, as they have an audacious escape from the Soviet Union plotted out. They plan to flee their claustrophobic daily lives, discover the free world and break away from their parents’ stifling worldview. The day after the wedding, Nika and Ana decide to move forward with their riskiest plan yet: hijacking a local flight from Tbilisi to Batumi and forcing it to land in Turkey, the closest country to Georgia that isn’t part of the Eastern Bloc. But as the plane leaves the ground and the pressure quickly mounts, nothing goes as planned for these amateur would-be hijackers.

Rezo Gigineishvili was born in 1982 in Tbilisi, and studied at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK). In 2006, he directed his feature debut HEAT. The film to this day remains a box-office leading film in the Russian market. In 2012, Rezo wrote and directed the romantic comedy LOVE WITH ACCENT in Georgia. Its sequel, NO BORDERS, which was shot in Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Russia, was released in 2015. In HOSTAGES, his most recent film, he focuses fully on the issues that concern him as an artist.

Kao da smrt supruge nije bila dovoljna, Doru u sirotište mora vratiti djevojčicu Medu kojoj je njegova supruga bila surogat majka prethodnih osam godina. Doru bi teoretski mogao usvojiti Medu, ali papirologija koja je za to potrebna je skupa, a on živi u području gdje se novac legalno može zaraditi jedino ukoliko radiš kao drvosječa ili uzgajaš krave.

There is a possibility that Doru can adopt Meda, but the paperwork is expensive, and he lives in a region where cutting wood and rearing cows are the only legal means of earning money. After trying everything in order to keep Meda, Doru realises he may have to step onto the wrong side of the law in order to succeed.

Sloboda kratke forme / The Creative Freedom of the Short Film Genre Ovogodišnja selekcija u kategoriji kratkog filma donosi 10 regionalnih filmskih ostvarenja koji predstavljaju mladu generaciju autora regije, te samim tim i budućnost regionalne kinematografije. Sam proces izbora bio je izuzetno uzbudljiv i intenzivan, a imali smo uvida u nešto manje od 500 kratkometražnih filmskih ostvarenja. Ono što općenito možemo zaključiti, ne samo na osnovu zvanične selekcije već i na osnovu cijelog procesa odabira, jeste da je primjetan izuzetan skok kako u kvaliteti sadržaja filmova, tako i u nivou same produkcije.

grčkog filma apsurda s izuzetnim humorom, autoironijom, ali i laganim pristupom temama koje nisu bezazlene. Film je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu u okviru programa Quinzaine des réalisateurs. Drugi film iz Grčke je ostvarenje Efthimisa Kosemunda Sanidisa AKTISTO FOS / UNIŠTENO SVJETLO i donosi priču o posljednja tri mjeseca u životu čovjeka prije njegove finalne transformacije. Ovo ostvarenje, koje će svjetsku premijeru imati u okviru našeg programa, poigrava se s vremenom koje je razapeto između sjećanja, susreta i snova.

Iako najstarija filmska forma, kratki film nastavlja da egzistira i prevazilazi samog sebe. Ova forma, ograničena samo svojim trajanjem, jedna je od najslobodnijih i najuzbudljivijih oblika filmskog izraza. Prostor koji kratki film pruža za umjetničko istraživanje, narativno eksperimentisanje i stilsko izražavanje je neograničen, a upravo tu otvorenost pokazuje ovogodišnja selekcija.

Mađarska je još jedna od kinematografija koja svake godine ponudi možda najveći izbor kvalitetnih kratkih filmova. Ove godine dva filma su u selekciji: WELLNESS i ZABIGYEREK / IGROM SLUČAJA. U filmu WELLNESS autor Virág Szabó u fokus stavlja dvije penzionerke koje su na odmoru, čije prijateljstvo bi mogla narušiti jedna tajna. Priča je izuzetno duhovita i autentična, smještena u prostor wellness centra, a tretira pitanja prijateljstva i iskrenosti. IGROM SLUČAJA studentski je film Leventea Kölcseya, koji na jedan izuzetno zreo i stilski dosljedan način prikazuje okrutnost odrastanja u mađarskoj provinciji.

Zvanična selekcija donosi četiri svjetske, četiri međunarodne te dvije regionalne premijere. Iz bliže regije dolaze nam dva filma iz Hrvatske te jedan iz Crne Gore. Rediteljica Antoaneta Alamat Kusijanović debitira u Takmičarskom programu s filmom U PLAVETNILO, koji je nastao u koprodukciji Hrvatske, Slovenije i Švedske. Svjetska premijera filma održana je na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, a na Sarajevo Film Festivalu film će doživjeti regionalnu premijeru. Drugi film koji nam stiže iz Hrvatske jeste PLAN A reditelja Tomislava Luetića. Dok se film U PLAVETNILO bavi odrastanjem i prekretnicom u životima mladih ljudi, PLAN A donosi priču o problemima odraslih, bacajući fokus na posao kao egzistencijalno pitanje čovjeka zrele dobi. Crnogorski reditelj Dušan Kasalica vraća se u konkurenciju s kratkim filmom SOA u kojem gradi tenziju na osnovu dvije paralelne priče – dok je u jednoj priči fokus na čovjeku, u drugoj je na prirodi kao bitnom čovjekovom okruženju. Kasalica vješto i neočekivano uspijeva da spoji ova dva narativa. Ova godina bila je izuzetna za grčki kratkometražni film, a u našoj selekciji su se našla dva. COPA-LOCA Christosa Massalasa pravi je predstavnik

38 23. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – KRATKI FILM

Iz Gruzije ove godine dolazi film SRULKOPILI SHEKVETA / SAVRŠENI RED rediteljskog dvojca Anne Sarukhanove i Kataline Bakradze, koji na duhovit način postavlja pitanje identiteta i potrebe za ljudskim kontaktom. Iz Turske ove godine prikazujemo dva filma. HINTERLANT/ PREDGRAĐE reditelja Sinana Kesova na vrlo suptilan način donosi priču u kojoj tematizira pitanje dobra i zla. Drugi turski film MUTLULUK / SREĆA Necipa Çağhana Özdemira, koji će svjetsku premijeru imati u našem programu, na izuzetno humorističan način govori o ljudskoj prirodi, i možda je najduhovitiji film ovogodišnje selekcije. Selekcija je izuzetno raznovrsna i stilski i tematski, a sveukupno predstavlja jedan dobar presjek regionalnog kratkometražnog stvaralaštva koje ne prestaje da iznenađuje. Ovi kratki filmovi odvest će vas u nove i uzbudljive svjetove te vam zasigurno pokazati nešto što ranije niste vidjeli.


E The 2017 short film selection at the Sarajevo Film Festival includes 10 films from the new generation of filmmakers who represent the future of the cinema of our region. The selection process was very intense and exciting, as we had to select from the nearly 500 short films that were submitted. The films selected, as well as the selection process, indicate that significant progress has been made in the quality of films in our region, in terms of both content and production.

Although it is the oldest of film genres, the short form continues to thrive. It is restrained only by duration, and is thus one of the most liberating and exciting forms of creative expression. The short film genre offers unlimited room for artistic exploration, as well as narrative and stylistic experimentation, and this year’s programme reflects that openness. The line-up of the 2017 competition includes four world, four international and two regional premieres. Three selected films come from our immediate neighbourhood – two from Croatia and one from Montenegro. Antoaneta Alamat Kusijanović’s directorial debut U PLAVETNILO / INTO THE BLUE, a Croatian-Slovenian-Swedish co-production, premiered at this year’s Berlinale before embarking on a tour of international film festivals. The film will have its regional premiere at the Sarajevo Film Festival. The second Croatian film in the selection is Tomislav Luetić’s PLAN A. While INTO THE BLUE is a coming-of-age story focusing on the turning points in the lives of young people, PLAN A is a story about problems of adults, specifically the challenges they face in finding employment. Montenegrin director Dušan Kasalica returns to Sarajevo with his short film SOA, in which suspense is built via two parallel stories – one focused on a man and the other focused on Nature as the human habitat. Kasalica merges the two narrative strands in a very skilful and surprising manner. The past year has proven to be a good period for Greek short films, as is indicated by the two Greek shorts in our selection. Christos Massalas’s COPA-LOCA is a true example of Greek absurdist cinema. A humorous,

ironic film that takes a light approach to serious matters, it premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival. The second Greek film is Efthimis Kosemund Sanidis’ AKTISTO FOS / UNBUILT LIGHT, which takes place over three months in the life of a man preceding his final transformation. The film plays with the notion of time, alternating among memories, encounters and dreams. Hungary is a very rich source of quality short films, and is represented in the selection by two films – Virág Szabó’s WELLNESS and Levente Kölcsey’s ZABIGYEREK / COME BY CHANCE. WELLNESS focuses on two elderly friends on vacation whose friendship might be jeopardised by a secret. This funny and authentic story set in a wellness centre explores the concepts of friendship and honesty. The student film COME BY CHANCE exposes the cruelty of life for children in rural Hungary in a very mature and visually consistent manner. Georgian entry SRULKOPILI SHEKVETA / THE PERFECT ORDER, co-directed by Anna Sarukhanova and Katalina Bakradze, questions the concept of identity and the need for human contact in a very comical way. This year also sees two Turkish films. Sinan Kesov’s HINTERLANT / OUSKIRTS uses a very simple story to explore the dichotomy of good and evil. MUTLULUK / HAPPINESS, Necip Çağhan Özdemir’s story about human nature, is probably the funniest film in our selection and is presented as a world premiere. The line-up of the short film programme includes films of great narrative and stylistic variety; as such, it offers a good overview of regional short film output that never ceases to surprise us. These short films will transport you to new and exciting worlds where you will certainly find something that you have never seen before. Elma Tataragić Selektorica / Programmer

REGIONALNA PREMIJERA / REGIONAL PREMIERE

U plavetnilo / Into the Blue Trinaestogodišnja Julija i njena majka bježe iz nasiljem ispunjenog doma i pronalaze utočište na idiličnom hrvatskom otoku na kojem je Julija provela djetinjstvo. Emotivno ranjena, Julija očajnički nastoji obnoviti vezu sa nekadašnjom najboljom prijateljicom Anom, ali Ana se zaljubila i Julija više nije centar njenog svijeta. Anina rastuća odbojnost produbljuje Julijine rane i oživljava njena sjećanja na porodičnu dramu, te budi čudovišno nasilje za koje je Julija vjerovala da ga je ostavila iza sebe. Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović rođena je 1985. godine u Dubrovniku, Hrvatska. Magistrirala je režiju na Univerzitetu Columbia u New Yorku. Njen posljednji kratki film U PLAVETNILO osvojio je Specijalnu pohvalu međunarodnog žirija Filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2017. E Thirteen-year-old Julija and her mother flee their abusive household to find refuge on the idyllic Croatian island where Julija grew up. Emotionally scarred, Julija is desperate to reconnect with her best friend Ana. But Ana is in love with a boy and Julija is no longer a priority. Ana’s mounting rejection reignites Julija’s wounds and family history, awakening the monster of violence she thought she had left behind.

Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović was born in 1985 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. She holds an MFA in directing from Columbia University in New York. Her most recent short, INTO THE BLUE, was awarded a Special International Jury Mention at the Berlinale in 2017.

Početak novih priča / The Beginning of New Stories

Asja Krsmanović

Sarajevo Film Festival, kao festival otkrića, već godinama prikazuje studentske filmove u različitim takmičarskim i netakmičarskim sekcijama. Kako bi afirmisali mlade autore na samom početku njihovog stvaralaštva, odlučili smo im dati poseban okvir, zbog čega smo otvorili novu sekciju Takmičarski program – Studentski film. Potvrda neophodnosti ove novine očituje se već u količini prijavljenih filmova – njih 260, od kojih će publika imati priliku vidjeti 16 najboljih – 13 u konkurenciji i 3 filma gostujuće filmske škole. Neopterećeni finansiranjem i plasmanom filma, njegovim formatom i trajanjem, jedino tokom školovanja reditelji imaju posebnu vrstu kreativne slobode. Nesputanog entuzijazma oni pričaju priče koje ih se tiču, pokazujući time da i mlada generacija može artikulisati svoju stvarnost i ispoljiti maštu i kreativnost na zreo i relevantan način. Njihov festivalski život dolazi kao neočekivana nagrada, ali i kao prvi susret sa onim što ih čeka nakon što završe školovanje i krenu putem svog profesionalnog razvoja. U selekciji dominiraju igrani filmovi, njih deset, od kojih je većina nastala kao diplomski ili magistarski rad. Neki od autora ovih filmova naginju formi srednjeg metra, pokazujući time spremnost za snimanje složenijih i komplikovanijih priča. Takav je slučaj sa slovenačkim filmom LJUBLJANA – MÜNCHEN 15:27 / LJUBLJANA – MUNICH 15:27 Katarine Morano sa Akademije za film i pozorište u Ljubljani, koji se našao i u Future Frame selekciji Međunarodnog filmskog festivala Karlovy Vary, i koji na melanholičan način portretira ljudski strah od velikih životnih promjena. Bosanskohercegovački film ČISTOĆA Nevena Samardžića sa Akademije scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu tretira problem ovisnosti u tranzicijskoj stvarnosti savremenog Sarajeva, a mađarski film – nastao na Univerzitetu za teatar i film u Budimpešti, a premijerno prikazan u Cinéfondation sekciji filmskog festivala u Cannesu – LÁTHATATLANUL / NEVIDLJIVO Árona Szentpéterija, zanimljiv je uvid u život glavnog junaka koji je slijep. Iako ostaju u formatu kratkog metra, ovoj tendenciji pridružuju se i austrijski filmovi sa Filmske akademije u Beču – WANNABE Jennis

Lenz i MATHIAS Clare Stern. Oba filma se bave mladim ljudima, prvi tretirajući potrebu za samopotvrđivanjem kroz društvene mreže, a drugi društvenim i privatnim aspektima rodne i spolne tranzicije lika. Film Nikice Zdunić, 13+, nastao na Akademiji dramskih umjetnosti u Zagrebu, još je jedna priča o odrastanju i sazrijevanju. Sa Fakulteta dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu prikazat ćemo diplomski rad Katarine Koljević ŽIVOT TRAJE TRI DANA, i magistarski rad Jelene Gavrilović NIKOG NEMA, koji je svoju međunarodnu premijeru imao u takmičarskoj sekciji Filmskog festivala u Locarnu. Obje autorice suptilno se bave klasnim pitanjima kroz intimne porodične priče. Sa istog fakulteta dolazi i jedan od dva dokumentarna filma u ovogodišnjoj selekciji – LJUBAV Dušana Zornića, jednostavan i efektan portret tinejdžerskog porno glumca koji odrasta u srbijanskoj provinciji. Dokumentarni film Inge Kukobat SATSEVA minuciozno je režiran portret lika, film o usamljenosti i anticipiranju smrti, a dolazi sa Akademije umjetnosti u Banjaluci kao drugi bosanskohercegovački film u selekciji. Sva tri animirana filma u konkurenciji dolaze iz Mađarske i odlikuju ih izuzetna likovnost i animacijska tehnika, ali prije svega velika rediteljska maštovitost i inventivnost. Sa Moholy-Nagy Univerziteta za umjetnost i dizajn stižu filmovi KÖTELÉK / VEZA, rediteljice Judit Wunder i VULKÁNSZIGET / VULKANSKO OSTRVO, diplomski film rediteljice Anne Katalin Lovrity, premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu u programu Generation Kplus. Sa Metropolitan Univerziteta dolazi duhovita animacija rediteljice Noémi Barkóczi SECOND HAND. Van konkurencije prikazat ćemo dva kratkometražna igrana i jedan dokumentarni film gostujuće škole Sam Spiegel iz Jerusalema. ANNA, rediteljice Or Sinai, drama je o ženi koja pokušava da preuzme kontrolu nad svojim životom, i prošlogodišnji pobjednički film programa Cinéfondation Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Film 212 Boaza Frankela prati radnika noćne smjene u staračkom domu, gdje smrt postaje još jedna od njegovih usputnih obaveza. Dokumentarni film BEIT HA’ILEMET / KUĆA


NIJEME ŽENE Tamar Kay prikazuje rat iz dječije perspektive. I dok možda još uvijek ne možemo definisati jedinstveni glas nove generacije, možemo ustanoviti da ovaj zbor različitih glasova većinski čine žene, njih čak jedanaest. Svi filmovi u ovogodišnjoj selekciji i tematski i stilski su različiti i pokazuju različite pristupe koliko shvatanju samog filma, toliko i shvatanju života i svijeta uopšte. Većina autora bavi se mladima i njihovim problemima, njihovim strahovima i željama, ali svaki od njih radi to na jedinstven i sebi svojstven način. Da je njihov pristup prepoznat kao relevantan, svjedoči i prisustvo nekih od filmova na velikim filmskim festivalima. U njihovim rediteljskim namjerama dostojno ih prati i nova generacija glumaca, scenarista, direktora fotografije i drugih kreativnih saradnika. Sigurni smo da će sa ovim autorima budućnost regionalne kinematografije biti kvalitetna i uzbudljiva. E As a festival on a mission to discover new talents, the Sarajevo Film Festival has long been screened student films in its various competition and non-competition sections. In order to promote filmmakers who are at the beginning of their careers, we introduce a brand-new section: Competition Programme– Student Film, dedicated solely to these young auteurs. There is no doubt that this decision was justified, considering that we received 260 submissions for the new section. The final competition line-up includes 13 films, while three further films produced by students of the Sam Spiegel Film School in Jerusalem will be screened out of competition. Student directors have a unique creative freedom because they do not have to worry about funding or distribution, nor about the format or duration of their films. They tell their stories with unbridled enthusiasm, proving that youngsters can articulate their reality and show their imagination and creativity in a mature and relevant way. Entering the film festival circuit is an added bonus for them, but it also gives them their first taste of the reality that awaits them once they complete their education and begin their professional careers.

The student film line-up is dominated by works of fiction, as it includes 10narrative works, most of which were produced as graduation films.

Inga Kukobat of the Banja Luka Arts Academy, is a carefully directed tale of loneliness and the anticipation of death.

The selection includes some medium-length films that indicate their author’s readiness to delve into more complex and complicated film projects. One such film is LJUBLJANA – MÜNCHEN 15:27 / LJUBLJANA – MUNICH 15:27, by Katarina Morano, a student at the Academy for Film and Television in Ljubljana. A melancholic portrayal of the fear of major life changes, Morano’s film was previously screened in the Future Frame section at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival.

Hungary contributed the three animated films in our line-up, which are characterised by exquisite visual identity and animation techniques, but primarily by the directors’ imagination and ingenuity. Moholy-Nagy University is represented by Judith Wunder’s KÖTELÉK/ BOND and Anne Katalin Lovrity’s VULKÁNSZIGET/ VOLCANO ISLAND, which premiered in the Generation Kplus section at the Berlinale, while Metropolitan University is represented by Noémi Barkóczi’s humorous animated SECOND HAND.

ČISTOĆA / CLEAN by Neven Samardžić, a film student at the Sarajevo Academy of Performing Arts, explores the problem of drug addiction in contemporary Sarajevo, while LÁTHATATLANUL / INVISIBLY, a selection of the Cinéfondation section at the Cannes Film Festival by University of Theatre and Film Arts of Budapest student Áron Szentpéteri, offers an interesting insight into the life of its blind protagonist.

Two shorts and one documentary produced by students of the Jerusalem-based Sam Spiegel Film&Television School will screen out of competition. The shorts are Or Sinai’s ANNA, about a woman who tries to gain control of her life, which was the 2016 winner of the First Prize of the Cinéfondation Selection at Cannes, and Boaz Frankel’s 212, about the night staff at an old people’s home, who perceive death as just another work assignment. The out-of-competition programme is rounded off by Tamar Kay’s documentary BEIT HA’ILEMET / THE MUTE’S HOUSE, which presents war as seen through the eyes of a child.

While remaining faithful to the short film format, Film Academy in Vienna students Jennis Lenz and Clare Stern also show maturity in their respective films WANNABE and MATHIAS. Both films focus on young people, but while the first looks at the ways in which youth use social networks to enhance their self-esteem, the second examines the social and personal impact of gender transition. Nikica Zdunić from the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb offers another coming-of-age story13+. The Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade is represented by Katarina Koljević’s graduation film ŽIVOT TRAJE TRI DANA / LIFE LASTS THREE DAYS and Jelena Gavrilović’s Master’s degree film project NOBODY HERE, which premiered in competition at the Festival del Film Locarno. Both directors subtly make use of their intimate family films to explore issues related to class divisions and inequality. One of the two documentary films in the competition is also the work of a student of the Belgrade Faculty, Dušan Zornić. His documentary LJUBAV / LOVE is a simple and effective portrayal of a teenage porn actor growing up in rural Serbia. SATSEVA / SERVING GOD, by

While it might be too early for us to identify the unique voice of the new generation of filmmakers, we can say with certainty that most – in fact 11 of them – are women. The selected filmmakers differ in style and in their choice of stories, but also in their approach to filmmaking and their understanding of the world and life in general. However, most of them focus on young people and their problems, fears and desires. The relevance of their approach is confirmed by the acceptance of their films into some of world’s leading film festivals. These directors are accompanied in their work by a new generation of actors, screenwriters, cinematographers and other creative talents. We have no doubt these filmmakers herald an exciting and excellent future for regional cinema. Asja Krsmanović Selektorica / Programmer

Láthatatlanul / Nevidljivo / Invisibly Dvoje ljudi upoznaje se u mraku jedne nevidljive izložbe. Tokom cijeloga filma pratimo kako se međusobno približavaju i udaljavaju, prelazeći slabo definisane granice. Granice koje postoje između ljudi i u ljudima, a koje su uglavnom nevidljive. I to ne samo slijepima. Áron Szentpéteri rođen je 1987. godine.

Rada Šešić

Dokumentarni filmovi postaju sve cjenjeniji širom svijeta, pa čak i u okvirima popularne filmske industrije. Oni se danas, više nego ikada ranije, prikazuju na vodećim filmskim festivalima, poput festivala u Cannesu, Berlinu ili Veneciji, i sve češće osvajaju značajne nagrade. Dokumentarni žanr privlači sve više slavnih umjetnika poput Leonarda di Caprija, koji je s Netflixom sarađivao na dokumentarnim filmovima i serijama, ili Seana Penna koji se pronašao u ulozi producenta dokumentarnih filmova. Dokumentarci se u kinima uspješno bore za publiku s igranim art filmovima; emituju se u programu ne samo javnih već i privatnih televizija, a kritičari o njima pišu na stranicama vodećih novina. Iako se takav razvoj situacije na prvi pogled može učiniti čudnim, on je zapravo mogao biti i očekivan. Kada stvarnost nalikuje igranom filmu, hororu ili nevjerovatnoj drami, dokumentaristi osjećaju snažan nagon da istraže uzroke šokantnih događanja i uznemirujućih činjenica s kojima se susrećemo u svakodnevnom životu. Regionalni dokumentaristi bez sumnje idu u korak sa svijetom. Posljednja sezona obiluje izuzetnim uspjesima. Njihovi filmovi imali su svjetske premijere na vrhunskim festivalima poput Berlinalea, Sundancea, Locarna i kanadskog Hot Docsa, da ni ne pominjemo prestižne evropske festivale dokumentarnog filma poput IDFA-e, Dok Leipziga i Visions du Réela. Ali uspjeh nije došao preko noći – autori su predano radili, često i više godina na pronalaženju odgovarajuće narativne strukture, upečatljivog vizualnog izraza i originalnog autorskog filmskog jezika. Upravo je to bila sudbina bh. filma UNDERCOVERED koji je pripreman punih šest godina. Rediteljice Sabrina Begović Ćorić i Nejra Latić Hulusić govore o ženama svoje generacije, baveći se temom koja nije značajna samo za BiH, već i za cijelu Evropu. Poetični filmski esej Ratija Onelija MZIS QALAQI / GRAD SUNCA govori o nekad moćnom industrijskom gruzijskom gradu koji je danas gotovo apokaliptično mjesto puno duhova, po čemu dijeli ekonomsku sudbinu mnogih tranzicijskih zemalja na istoku i jugoistoku Evrope. Sličnu sudbinu prati film talentovanog Andreija Dăscălescua PLANETA PETRILA, koji na originalan način donosi priču o poznatom rudarskom gradu u Rumuniji čiju slavu danas čuvaju samo umjetničke slike i intrigantni grafiti. Zanimljivo je da se čak nekoliko odabranih filmova na veoma kreativan i duboko promišljen

način bave idejom doma i osjećaja pripadanja. U svom intimnom dokumentarcu VODIČ KROZ CRNU RUPU Zlatko Pranjić i Aleksandar Nikolić prate životnu priču umjetnika i boema Suleta, koji je emigrirao iz BiH i danas živi u Velikoj Britaniji. Film saosjećajno preispituje koncepte doma i pripadanja, ali i zaborava i sjećanja. U svom poetičnom dokumentarcu GÖZYAŞINA YER YOK / ZA SUZE MJESTA NEMA rediteljica Reyan Tuvi – inače sjajno novo ime turske kinematografije – s puno dostojanstva se fokusira na imigrantsku zajednicu iz sirijskog grada Kobanea. Još jedna turska rediteljica, Ayşe Toprak, u filmu MR. GAY SYRIA, također se na zanimljiv način bavi izbjeglicama i njihovom borbom da pronađu novi smisao života i ponovo izgrade doživljaj doma i osjećaj pripadanja. U kojoj mjeri i na koji način mjesta na kojima živimo u određenim periodima svoga života doživljavamo kao dom? Dirljiv i dramaturški izuzetno precizan austrijski film braće Riahi KINDERS / DJECA fokusira se na najmlađe i prati njihove mentalne procese kroz muzičku terapiju. Čin sjećanja se uvijek odvija u sadašnjosti, a trenutno okruženje onoga koji se prisjeća, neminovno oblikuje njegove uspomene koje po definiciji pripadaju prošlosti. U svom šarmantnom, duhovitom filmu KADA DOĐU SVINJE srbijanska rediteljica Biljana Tutorov prati svoju tetku koja je živjela u četiri različite države a da se skoro nikad nije ni pomakla iz vlastite kuće. DOM, šokantni hrvatski cinéma-vérité film, hercegovačkog reditelja Zdenka Jurilja, također preispituje ideju doma. Njegova kamera se uvijek nalazi na pravom mjestu u pravo vrijeme; u samom je središtu zbivanja, čak i kada prati apsurdne i užasno bolne policijske intervencije. Slovenački reditelj Rok Biček je za svoj film DRUŽINA / OBITELJ više od deset godina pratio intimu, odrastanje i porodične probleme jednog pubertetlije, te njegovu transformaciju u mladića i obiteljskog čovjeka. Neki od filmova doimaju se kao ljubavna pisma životnim strastima. PLAYING MEN slovenačkog reditelja Matjaža Ivanišina autorski je esej koji priziva sjećanja na igre razigranih muškaraca u različitim dijelovima južne Evrope, potcrtavajući pri tome kako strastvenost igranja tako i tragove usamljenosti. Nemoguće je ne upitati se da li usamljenost i želja za bijegom od stvarnosti tjeraju ljude da učestvuju u 246 km dugoj trci Spartatlon o kojoj govori impresivni mađarski film ULTRA. Reditelj filma, Balázs Simonyi, i sam je jedan od učesnika trke, a njegova lična,


hrabra i krajnje otvorena priča uvodi gledaoce u svijet o kojem većina nas vjerovatno malo zna. Šarmantni i prilično duhoviti film AVEC L’AMOUR makedonskog reditelja Ilije Cvetkovskog saga je o običnom čovjeku s velikom strašću koja nam otkriva puno toga i o društvu u kojem živimo. Izuzetnom strastvenošću odlikuje se i satirična dokumentarna parabola SLATKO OD NIŠTA srbijanskog sineaste Borisa Mitića, koji je na ovom dugo godina pripremanom filmskom eseju sarađivao s desetinama snimatelja širom svijeta, a kao lucidnog naratora u ulozi Ničega angažovao Iggy Popa. Uzbudljive priče, zanimljivi autorski pristupi kao i relevantna društvena pitanja – sve to možete pronaći u naših 14 odabranih filmova. Velika nam je čast što će veliki broj filmova iz naše selekcije imati svjetsku premijeru u Sarajevu. Želimo srdačnu dobrodošlicu kako autorima tako i vama, dragi poklonici dokumentaraca. Radujemo se uzbudljivim diskusijama nakon projekcije filmova u kinu kao i na našem uvijek dinamičnom Docu Corneru. Dobro nam došli! E Worldwide, even within the mainstream film industry, documentary films have gained a great deal of respect in recent years. Nowadays more than ever, they are represented at toptier film festivals in Cannes, Berlin and Venice, and they increasingly win the main awards. Big industry names like Leonardo di Caprio, who has partnered with Netflix on individual and serial documentaries, or Sean Penn, who has produced topical non-fiction pieces, among others, are keen to engage with the documentary scene. Often, documentaries find themselves competing in cinemas with well-respected art-house narrative films; they are reviewed in the film pages of major national newspapers and are broadcast not only on public television stations, but also on private channels. At first glance, this may seem odd, but in fact it is to be expected. When reality looks like a fiction film – often amazingly hard-to-believe drama, or even something straight out of the horror genre, documentary makers are obliged to observe the origins of the shocking events and astonishing facts we encounter in our day-to-day lives. Doc makers from close to home – Southeast Europe and the Southern Caucasus – are certainly catching up. The results are to be admired: last

season was extremely successful for docs from our region – they saw their premieres at prestigious festivals like the Berlinale, Sundance, Locarno and Hot Docs, not to mention IDFA, DOK Leipzig, Visions du Réel and many others. However, this success did not come about overnight – on most of the productions, the teams struggled to find narrative lines, visual styles and their authors’ fresh and remarkable approaches to cinema. This was very much the trajectory of the Bosnian film UNDERCOVERED, which was in the making for six years. Generation Y directors Sabrina Begović Ćorić and Nejra Latić Hulusić take a look at the issues facing some of their female peers, tackling a topic relevant not only to Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also to the whole of Europe. A seemingly post-apocalyptic ghost town in Georgia is depicted in the poetic essay film CITY OF THE SUN. This remarkable feature-length debut by director Rati Oneli reflects an economic situation seen in many transitional countries in East and Southeast Europe. Similarly, a famous former mining town in Romania is only to be celebrated in paintings and elaborate graffiti, as we see in PLANETA PETRILA, by talented Andrei Dăscălescu. Several films tackle the notion of home and belonging in a creative and deeply considered manner. Zlatko Pranjić and Aleksandar Nikolić, in their intimate documentary GUIDANCE THROUGH THE BLACK HOLE, observe the life story of Sule, a Bosnian artist and bohemian who emigrated to the UK. The film deals compassionately with these ideas of how to make a home and become part of a community, but also considers remembering and forgetting. Similarly, director Reyan Tuvi – a significant new female voice in Turkish cinema – zooms in on the migrants of Kobanî, observing this community with dignity and a poetic eye in her NO PLACE FOR TEARS. MR. GAY SYRIA, by Ayşe Toprak – another female Turkish director is an interesting take on the migrant community, and their struggle to find new directions in life and establish themselves in a new home. How do we experience the places where we live at certain points in our lives as “home”? Brothers Riahi’s compelling and remarkably precise Austrian film KINDERS focuses on the world of children taking part in a music education programme, through which they develop from outsiders into confident young people. The act of remembering takes place in the present and all input of the current reality is shaping

someone’s memories that per definition belong to the past. In her charming, humorous featurelength debut WHEN PIGS COME, Serbian director Biljana Tutorov observes her aunt, who has lived in four different states while always making her home in the same house. The idea of home is also depicted in the amazingly disturbing Croatian cinéma-vérité drama HOME by Herzegovinian director Zdenko Jurilj. Always in the right place at the right time, his camera finds its topic in medias res, even during the most absurd and painful police interventions. Slovenian director Rok Biček’s THE FAMILY observes an adolescent and his peculiar family over more than ten years, with amazing access to the youth’s everyday life. Several films can be seen as love letters to the beauty of living with passion. PLAYING MEN, by Slovenian director Matjaž Ivanišin, is an author-driven essay film that evokes memories of games performed by men in different parts of Southern Europe, a subject that brings traces of loneliness to the surface. After watching the compelling Hungarian film ULTRA, one will no doubt ponder whether it is loneliness or escapism that is triggering people to run the 246km Spartathlon. Director Balázs Simonyi is one of the race participants, and his personal, bold and confronting story opens up a universe that is very likely unknown to most of us. A different take on passion is explored in the delightfully engaging and at times very funny AVEC L’AMOUR, by Macedonia’s Ilija Cvetkovski. This saga about a common man with a huge passion tells us also a lot about society. A lot of passion & wit has been invested in the satirical documentary parable IN PRAISE OF NOTHING by Serbian cineaste Boris Mitic, filmed by dozens of cinematographers from around the globe and narrated by Iggy Pop, in the role of Nothing. Important stories, new voices, relevant debates: all are to be found in our selection of fourteen films, of which several will have world premieres here in Sarajevo. We are pleased to extend a warm welcome to this year’s documentary filmmakers and to you, our audience and we look forward to the discussions they are sure to inspire after the screenings and during our always lively Docu Corner debates. Welcome! Rada Šešić Selektorica / Programmer

Avec L’Amour Dionis je nastavnik biologije pred penzijom. Posjeduje više od stotinu zahrđalih, starih auta od kojih većina više i ne radi, i svake noći spava pokraj njih i sanja da otvori muzej za svoju neobičnu kolekciju. Ali njegova strast i njegovi snovi traže svoj danak. Ilija Cvetkovski rođen je 1990. u Negotinu, Makedonija. Nakon što je studirao arhitekturu u Montpellieru, obrazovanje nastavlja na Akademiji ESRA u Skoplju. Svoj prvi kratki film, DUSHAN, koji je prikazan na brojnim festivalima studentskog filma, snimio je 2012. godine. AVEC L’AMOUR, njegov prvi dokumentarni film, premijerno je prikazan na HotDocs Toronto festivalu 2017. godine. E Dionis is a retiring biology teacher. He owns more than 100 rusty old cars, most of which don’t even work, and every night he sleeps next to them, dreaming of turning this unusual collection into a museum. But his passion and his dreams come with a price.

Ilija Cvetkovski was born in 1990 in Negotino, Macedonia. After studing Architecture in Montpellier, he continued his education at ESRA in Skopje.

Dom / Home Zbog nemogućnosti plaćanja kredita ili režija, uslijed gubitka posla i bolesti, svaka dvadeseta porodica u Hrvatskoj ostaje bez stana ili kuće. Rigorozni zakoni o izvršenju omogućili su bankama i ostalim institucijama da lakše dođu u posjed nekretnine. Kad zakaže sistem, kad se građanin više nema kome obratiti i kad ga beskrupulozna administracija izbacuje iz kuće ili stana, tada u pomoć stižu mladi aktivisti koji svojim tijelima sprečavaju provedbu deložacija. Film kamerama s lica mjesta evidentira mučne scene u kojima kordoni specijalne policije silom odvlače mlade, starce, žene, djecu, a čija je jedina želja ostati živjeti u svom jedinom domu. Zdenko Jurilj rođen je 1972. u Širokom Brijegu, Bosna i Hercegovina. U svijetu sedme umjetnosti našao se nakon studija historije i žurnalistike. Dugo je radio kao novinar izvještavajući o situaciji u bivšoj Jugoslaviji i širem regionu Jugoistočne Evrope. Proteklih sedam godina radi kao scenarista i reditelj u produkcijskoj kući „Kadar“ u Širokom Brijegu. Njegovi dokumentarni filmovi prikazani su na više međunarodnih filmskih festivala, a pojedini i u programu nekoliko regionalnih televizija. Režirao je desetine dokumentarnih i promotivnih filmova, te radio kao koproducent na nagrađivanim igranim filmovima. E One in five families in Croatia lose their apartment or house due to being unable to pay back credit or keep up with overhead expenses. The rigorous Seizure Law has provides banks and other institutions with an easier way of gaining real estate. When the system fails, when a citizen has nowhere to apply for assistance and when the unscrupulous administration dislodges them from their flats or houses, then young activists arrive to help and with their bodies prevent the execution of the eviction. HOME has recorded grievous scenes from the very places where the cordons of special police use force to drag away children, women, the young and the old... whose one and only wish is to stay and live in their only home.

Zdenko Jurilj was born in 1972 in Široki Brijeg, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He studied History, then Journalism, but ended up in the world of the seventh art. He worked for a long time as a reporter, following the situation in the former Yugoslavia and in the wider region of Southeast Europe. For the last several years, he has worked for the production house Kadar in Široki Brijeg as a writer and director. His documentaries have been screened at several international festivals, and some have been shown on regional television. He has directed dozens of documentaries and promotional films, and worked as co-producer on award-winning feature films.

Družina / Obitelj / The Family Film OBITELJ prati mladića Mateja tokom deset godina njegovog života. Matej se još kao tinejdžer morao starati o starijem bratu i roditeljima, koji su imali intelektualnih poteškoća. Nakon što je u dvadesetoj godini života i sam postao otac, činilo se kao da će moći zasnovati vlastitu porodicu. Međutim, obrasci njegovog ponašanja i razmišljanja, koji su rezultat odrastanja u disfunkcionalnom okruženju, narušavaju Matejev porodični mir. Rok Biček rođen je 1985. godine u Novom mestu, Slovenija. Diplomirao je na Univerzitetu u Ljubljani, a u svijet filma ulazi kao prominentni učenik PoEtike, neformalne filmske akademije poznatog slovenskog filmaša Janeza Lapajne. Njegov igrani prvenac, RAZREDNI SOVRAZNIK / CLASS ENEMY, premijerno je prikazan i nagrađen u program Critics’ Week Filmskog festivala u Veneciji 2013. godine, gdje je osvojio nagradu FEDEORA. E THE FAMILY follows Matej over the course of 10 years. As a teenager, he already had to take care of his mentally challenged parents and elder brother. When he became a father at the age of 20, it seemed as if he would be able to create a family of his own. However, his behaviour and personality patterns that arise from living in a dysfunctial family disrupt his new young family’s peace...

Rok Biček was born in 1985 in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, and graduated from the University of Ljubljana. Biček entered the world of cinema as a prominent student at Janez Lapajne’s PoEtika, an occasional academy for researching the art of film directing. CLASS ENEMY, his feature-length debut, had its premiere in the Critics’ Week at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the FEDEORA Award.

Gözyaşina Yer Yok / Za suze mjesta nema / No Place for Tears Okupacijske, džihadističke trupe ISIS-a su u septembru 2014. započele brutalan napad na kurdski grad Kobane u Siriji. Kurdske jedinice narodne zaštite YPG-a do tada su neporaženom ISIS-u pružile herojski otpor te su nakon 134 dana uličnih borbi i uz pomoć zračnih udara međunarodnih koalicijskih snaga uspjele u potpunosti osloboditi Kobane. Stanovnici Kobanea, koji su utočište od rata pronašli u susjednoj Turskoj, bili su prisiljeni s distance pratiti borbe za svoj grad. Danima, sedmicama i mjesecima stajali su na tursko-sirijskoj granici čekajući vijesti o svojim sinovima, kćerima i rodbini koji su ostali da brane Kobane. Kada je ratom razoreni grad konačno oslobođen, 26. januara 2016, njegove stanovnike čekala je nova borba: borba da obnove život na ruševinama svojih domova. Reyan Tuvi rođena je 1967. godine. Studirala je engleski jezik i književnost na Univerzitetu Bogazici, a zvanje magistrice za proizvodnju dokumentarnog programa stekla je na Sjevernoj školi za medije u Sheffieldu u Velikoj Britaniji. Tuvi živi u Istanbulu gdje radi kao nezavisna autorica dokumentarnog filma. E In September, 2014, the Kurdish Kobanê Canton in Syria, was violently attacked by occupying ISIS gangs. The YPG / YPJ forces showed exemplary resistance against ISIS, who had never been defeated during previous occupations. After 134 days of street fighting and the bombing of coalition planes, the city of Kobanê was liberated. During the war, some of the people of Kobanê escaped and took shelter on the Turkish side of the border, where they had to observe the fighting from afar. They waited for days, weeks and months at the border, where the sounds of war were always present, expecting to hear from their sons, daughters and relatives who were defending the city. As war-torn Kobanê was liberated on January 26, 2016, another tough struggle was awaiting the people: building a new life on top of the ruins.

Kada dođu svinje / When Pigs Come Dragoslava ima četiri TV aparata, troje unučadi, dvije najbolje prijateljice, i muža s kojim se stalno otima za daljinski upravljač. Ima i vlastitu kolekciju uspomena na sve ključne događaje u skorijoj historiji pet država u kojima je živjela, a da se pri tome nikada nije selila iz svoga stana. Prošla je obuku za izbornog posmatrača i strastveno brani svoje pravo da bude pripadnica manjine, ali njen očaj raste sve više kako se približavaju još jedni prijevremeni izbori. Biljana Tutorov rođena je 1971. u Bačkoj Palanci, Srbija. Nakon što je diplomirala arheologiju i historiju umjetnosti na Katoličkom univerzitetu u Louvainu u Belgiji, studirala je antropologiju filma na Školi za napredne humanističke studije (EPHE) u Parizu, kao i dramu na Međunarodnoj školi za teatar Jacques Lecoq. Tokom 2006. tri mjeseca je pohađala rezidencijalni program za dokumentarni film u centru Maison du Doc u Lussasi, Francuska. Autorica je više igranih i dokumentarnih filmova, video instalacija i performansa. Godine 2010. osnovala je nezavisnu produkcijsku kuću Wake Up Film, koja se bavi razvojem i produkcijom kreativnih dokumentarnih, animiranih i igranih filmova. E Dragoslava has four TV sets, three grandchildren, two best friends, and a husband with whom she fights over a remote control. She keeps her private archive of memories of all major events in recent political history of five countries in which she has lived, without ever moving from her apartment. She is a trained poll monitor, passionate about her right to be in the minority, but more and more desperate as another early election approach.

Biljana Tutorov was born in 1971 in Bačka Planka, Serbia. After graduating in Archaeology and Art History from the Catholic University in Louvain, Belgium, she studied Film Anthropology at the École Pratique des Hautes Études, and Drama at the École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris. In 2006, she spent three months in documentary filmmaking residency at Maison du Doc in Lussas, France.

Kinders / Djeca U filmu DJECA pratimo djecu i adolescente različitih profila tokom njihovog teškog, zbunjujućeg i smiješnog svakodnevnog života, upoznajući se s njihovim stavovima i viđenjima svijeta. U fokusu filma jedinstveni je muzički obrazovni program (superar), koji su pokrenuli Karitas, Bečki koncertni dom i Hor bečkih dječaka, a koji „nevidljivim“ i odbačenim članovima društva pomaže da izrastu u samouvjerene mlade ljude. Zbog prilike da zajedno pjevaju i uče svirati, životi ovih socijalno ugroženih mladih ljudi dobijaju iznenađujuć, uzbudljiv i kreativan karakter. Arash T. Riahi rođen je 1972. u Iranu, a od 1982. godine živi u Beču. Studirao je film i umjetnost, a od 1995. do 2000. godine radio je za ORF. Njegovi filmovi THE SOUVENIRS OF MR. X, EXILE FAMILY MOVIE, EVERYTHING WILL NOT BE FINE, MISSISSIPPI i multimedijalni projekt EVERYDAY REBELLION (The Riahi Brothers) osvojili su preko 70 međunarodnih nagrada. Njegov prvi igrani film, FOR A MOMENT FREDOM, bio je austrijski kandidat za nagradu Oscar Američke filmske akademije 2010. godine. Arman T. Riahi rođen je u Iranu, a odrastao u Beču. Sa svojim prvim kino dokumentarcem, SCHWARZKOPF, osvojio je Nagradu publike na Austrijskom državnom filmskom festivalu Diagonale i Specijalnu nagradu žirija na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma Docudays u Bejrutu. Njegov drugi kino dokumentarac, EVERYDAY REBELLION, koji je režirao zajedno s bratom Arashem, prikazan je na preko 60 međunarodnih filmskih festivala i osvojio je nekoliko nagrada. Nedavno je završio rad na svom prvom igranom filmu, THE MIGRUMPIES, koji bi se tokom ove godine trebao početi prikazivati u kinima. E In KINDERS we accompany children and adolescents from different backgrounds throughout their difficult, confusing and funny day-to-day lives, and come to know their perspectives and stances. The central theme is the edgy musical education programme ((superar)), founded by Caritas, Wiener Konzerthaus and the Vienna Boysʼ Choir, in which the children are transformed from “invisible” outsiders into self-confident young people. Through their singing together and learning to play musical instruments, the lives of these socially disadvantaged young people also take on an extremely surprising, vibrant and creative dimension.

Mr. Gay Syria Husein radi kao frizer u Istanbulu, i vodi dvostruki život rastrzan između konzervativne porodice i vlastite homoseksualnosti. Mahmoud je osnivač sirijskog LGBTI pokreta i živi u Berlinu kao izbjeglica. Ono što ih spaja jeste zajednički san da učestvuju na međunarodnom natječaju ljepote kako bi pobjegli od monotonije svakodnevnog života i prestali se osjećati nevidljivim. Hoće li uspjeti ostvariti svoj san, ili će ga izbjeglička kriza i oštre reakcije na homoseksualnost u muslimanskom društvu razbiti u paramparčad? Ayşe Toprak filmska je autorica s adresom stanovanja u Istanbulu. Diplomu iz primijenjenih umjetnosti stekla je na Odsjeku za film i televiziju u školi Tisch Univerziteta u New Yorku, a zvanje magistrice na Univerzitetu The New School. Radila je na Kanalu 13 javnog RTV servisa (PBS) u New Yorku, te kao producentica za televiziju Al Jazeera u Dohi, Istanbulu i Londonu. E Husein, a barber in Istanbul, lives a double life between his conservative family and his gay identity. Mahmoud is the founder of Syria’s LGBTI movement and is a refugee in Berlin. What brings them together is a dream: to participate in an international beauty contest, both as an escape from the confines of their lives and as an answer to their invisibility. Will the dream come true? Or will the refugee crisis and the harsh consequences of being gay in the Muslim world shatter it to pieces?

Ayşe Toprak is a filmmaker based in Istanbul. She received her BFA in Film & TV from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, and an MA from the New School. Her work experience includes Channel Thirteen/PBS in New York, and producing for Al Jazeera in Doha, Istanbul and London.

Mzis Qalaqi / Grad sunca / City of the Sun Gotovo polovina ukupne količine globalno korištenog metala mangana nekada se crpila u gradu Chiatura u zapadnoj Gruziji. Chiatura danas nalikuje postapokaliptičnom gradu duhova. GRAD SUNCA prati živote nekoliko preostalih stanovnika ovoga grada. Zurab, po profesiji nastavnik muzičkog, ogoljava oronule betonske zgrade kako bi ostvario dodatni prihod prodajom željezne armature. Archil je još uvijek zaposlen u rudniku, ali strašću ga ispunjava rad u lokalnom amaterskom pozorištu. Uprkos neuhranjenosti, dvije lokalne sportistkinje i dalje stoički treniraju za naredne Olimpijske igre. Rati Oneli rođen je 1977. godine u Tbilisiju. U periodu od 1999. do 2014, živio je u New Yorku, a potom se vratio u Gruziju kako bi snimio dokumentarni film GRAD SUNCA. Diplome iz bliskoistočnih studija i međunarodnih odnosa stekao je na Slobodnom univerzitetu u Tbilisiju i Univerzitetu Columbia u New Yorku. Oneli je 2014. godine producirao kratki film INVISIBLE SPACES, na kojem je radio i kao jedan od montažera. Film je premijerno prikazan u okviru takmičarskog programa na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Njegov sljedeći producentski uradak iz 2016, kratki film LETHE, također je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu u programu Director’s Fortnight. GRAD SUNCA njegov je prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film. E Up to 50 percent of the world’s manganese, a vital metal across the globe, used to be mined in Chiatura, in western Georgia. Today, it resembles an apocalyptic ghost town. CITY OF THE SUN portrays a few of the remaining inhabitants. Music teacher Zurab dismantles ramshackle concrete buildings by hand and sells the iron girders to make some money on the side. Archil still works in the mine, but his real passion is the local amateur theatre group. Despite being malnourished, two young female athletes train stoically for the next Olympic Games.

Rati Oneli was born in 1977 in Tbilisi. He lived in New York City from 1999 to 2014, when he moved back to Georgia in order to make his documentary CITY OF THE SUN. He specialised in Middle East Studies, as well as International Affairs, at the Free University Tbilisi and at Columbia University in New York. In 2014, he produced and co-edited INVISIBLE SPACES, a short film that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Palme d’Or. In 2016, his next production, LETHE premiered at the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes. CITY OF THE SUN is Oneli’s first feature-length documentary.

Planeta Petrila Dok se rudari u rumunskom gradu Petrila spremaju da posljednji put siđu u okno, umjetnik i bivši rudar Ion Barbu predano radi na tome da gradski rudnik uglja sačuva kao kulturno nasljeđe. Međutim, gradske vlasti planiraju u potpunosti uništiti rudnik kako bi ispoštovali relevantna pravila Evropske unije. Ukoliko se njihov plan ostvari, naprasno će biti okončana dugogodišnja rudarska tradicija za koju je lokalna zajednica još uvijek jako vezana, ali za koju vlasti, naizgled, ni najmanje ne mare. Barbu odbija da odustane od svoje misije i radi sve što je u njegovoj mogućnosti da očuva uspomenu na rudnik i identitet svog rodnog grada – slika murale na administrativnim zgradama rudnika i organizuje predstave, ulične proteste, podzemni pozorišni festival i tajno snimanje filma. Njegova upornost jednaka je upornosti onih kojima se suprotstavlja, a njegova djela, koja obilato posuđuju iz historije umjetnosti, prožeta su apsurdnošću koja odgovara situaciji. Međutim, Barbuovi postupci prerastaju u nešto više od banalnog protesta i postaju sredstvo kolektivnog žalovanja za granom industrije koja izumire. Andrei Dăscălescu rođen je 1984. godine u Piatra Neamțu, Rumunija. Studirao je montažu i zvuk na Fakultetu za film u Bukureštu, a prije nego što je počeo snimati vlastite filmove, imao je jedinstvenu priliku da radi kao pomoćnik legendarnog montažera Waltera Murcha. Sa svojim prvim dokumentarcem, CONSTANTIN AND ELENA, osvojio je nagradu za najbolji debitantski film Festivala dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu, kao i nekoliko drugih nagrada. Njegovi kratki dokumentarci GYURI i AN AWESOME FILM, kao i kratki igrani film FLY, prikazani su na više filmskih festivala. Za vrijeme studiranja, Dăscălescu je učestvovao i na brojnim radionicama u Sarajevu, Amsterdamu, Lisabonu, Londonu, Berlinu i Rijeci. PLANETA PETRILA njegov je drugi dugometražni dokumentarni film. E As coalminers in Petrila go down into the depths of the earth for the last time, artist and ex-miner Ion Barbu is working on his mission of preserving the Romanian town’s mine as a symbol of cultural heritage. But in accordance with EU agreements on the closure of the facility, the authorities are committed to demolishing it. This would bring about an abrupt end to a history with which the mining community still feels deep affinity, but one that does not appear to interest politicians in the slightest. Barbu refuses to back down, doing all he can to keep the memories of the mine – and the identity of his hometown – alive. He covers the mine buildings in murals and organises performances, street protests, an underground theatre festival and a clandestine film. His resolve is a match for that of his opponents, and his art, which samples freely from art history, is charged with an absurdism that is well suited to the situation. Nonetheless, his actions prove to be more than just a frivolous protest; they become a channel for the collective mourning of a redundant industry.

Andrei Dăscălescu was born in 1984 in Piatra Neamț, Romania. He studied Editing and Sound at the Film Faculty in Bucharest, and had the chance to work as an assistant to the legendary editor Walter Murch. He then moved on to make his own films, having an acclaimed documentary debut with CONSTANTIN AND ELENA, that won an IDFA First Appearance Award as well as several other prizes. His other works to appear on the festival circuit include the short documentaries GYURI and AN AWESOME FILM, and the short fiction film FLY. Besides his film studies, Dăscălescu has taken part in numerous workshops in Amsterdam, Berlin, Lisbon, London, Rijeka and Sarajevo. PLANETA PETRILA is his second feature-length documentary.

Playing Men PLAYING MEN esejistički je dokumentarac o muškarcima s područja Mediterana koji prati njihove obrasce zabave i igre kojih se igraju. Film je snimljen u formi putopisa kroz južnu Evropu (Slovenija, Hrvatska, Italija i Turska) i predstavlja muškarce, mlade i stare, koji se susreću iz istih razloga kao i njihovi pretci, kako bi igrali razne igre. Međutim, za vrijeme snimanja, reditelj filma iznenada zapada u jaku kreativnu krizu te objektiv kamere okreće prema sebi i pretvara film u razigranu posvetu apsurdnim situacijama. Matjaž Ivanišin rođen je 1981. godine u Mariboru, Slovenija. Godine 2007. diplomirao je filmsku i TV režiju na Akademiji za pozorište, radio, film i televiziju u Ljubljani. Režirao je nekoliko igranih i dokumentarnih filmova s kojima je osvojio određeni broj slovenačkih i međunarodnih filmskih nagrada. E PLAYING MEN is a documentary essay about the relationships among Mediterranean men and their games. The film takes the form of a travelogue across Croatia, Italy, Slovenia and Turkey, and examines men, young and old, who come together like their ancestors did – to play games. During filming, however, the director suddenly faces a serious creative crisis and turns the camera on himself, turning the film into a playful homage to absurdity.

Matjaž Ivanišin was born in 1981 in Maribor, Slovenia. He graduated as a film and television director from the Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film and Television in Ljubljana in 2007. He has directed several fiction and documentary films, for which he has won national and international awards.

Ultra Godinu za godinom trkači iz svih dijelova svijeta učestvuju u jednoj od najtežih i najprestižnijih trka, 246 kilometara dugom Spartatlonu od Atine do Sparte, koji moraju istrčati za manje od 36 sati. Svaki od trkača, među kojima je i reditelj filma Balázs Simonyi, ima vlastiti razlog za učešće u ovom ekstremnom sportskom poduhvatu. Niko od njih ne zna da li će uspjeti završiti trku, ali od ključne im je važnosti da pokušaju ostvariti taj naizgled nemoguć cilj. Film govori o atletama koji testiraju granice vlastitih mogućnosti i pri tome liječe svoju dušu i oslobađaju se ličnih demona. Balázs Simonyi rođen je 1980. godine u Budimpešti. Studirao je književnost i film, a trenutno završava doktorat iz teorije umjetnosti. Njegovi filmovi učestvovali su na nekim od vodećih filmskih festivala, uključujući festivale u Cannesu, Karlovym Varyma, Krakówu, Aspenu, St. Louisu, Seattleu i Vancouveru. Simonyi je dobitnik više nagrada, uključujući nagradu CamerImage, Nagradu publike Filmskog festivala Asiana i nagradu francuskih kino-distributera (GRAC). Simonyi je, također, i jedan od organizatora i selektora Festivala kratkog filma u Budimpešti. E Year after year, runners from around the world participate in one of the most prestigious and challenging of races, the Spartathlon – 246km from Athens to Sparta in under 36 hours. The film’s subjects and its director, Balázs Simonyi, each have their own personal reasons for participating in the extreme run. None of them knows if they will ever be able to finish, but they do know that it is crucial for them to try – and possibly accomplish the seemingly impossible. These are everyday athletes who test their limits, heal their souls and release their demons.

Balázs Simonyi was born in 1980 in Budapest. He studied Literature and Film, and is currently completing his PhD in Art Theory. His films have been screened at major festivals in Cannes, Karlovy Vary, Cracow, Aspen, St. Louis, Seattle and Vancouver, among others. Simonyi has won several awards, including the CamerImage, the Audience Award at the Asiana Film Festival, and the French Cinema Distributors’ (GRAC) prize. Simonyi is also an organizer and programmer at the Budapest Short Film Festival.

Undercovered U svijetu postoji komad odjeće koji je postao skandalozan nakon terorističkih napada u New Yorku 2001. godine. Marama. Velike debate o tome treba li dozvoliti muslimankama da nose maramu na javnim mjestima stalno se vode u svijetu. Sada, s rastom terorističke grupe ISIL, koja se predstavlja kao islamistička i prijeti slobodnom svijetu uništenjem, marama na glavi žene se sve više posmatra kao prijeteća zastava terorizma. U međuvremenu, u postkomunističkoj i postratnoj Bosni i Hercegovini, mlade žene se sve češće odlučuju na pokrivanje kao izraz slobode vjere i uvjerenja, a ponekad i kao izraz pobune protiv kapitalističke vizije slobodne žene. UNDERCOVERED je film koji govori o takvim ženama. Nejra Latić Hulusić rođena je 1985. godine u Sarajevu. Diplomirala je na Odsjeku za režiju na Akademiji scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu. Režirala je kratki film U PLAVO, kratki dokumentarni film HER CINEMA LOVE, koji je prikazan na najvažnijim festivalima dokumentarnog filma (HOTDOCS, Visions du Reel, DOK Leipzig, ZagrebDOX, Dokufest, MakeDOX), nekoliko dokumentarnih filmova za BHT1 te TV serijale i magazine.

Osnivačica je i članica Udruženja za afirmaciju žena kroz umjetnost i kulturu HAVA. E Following the 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City, one item of clothing has gained a scandalous global reputation: the headscarf. All over the world, a major debate is going on about whether Muslim women should be allowed to wear the headscarf in public. Meanwhile, young women in post-communist, post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina are increasingly embracing the wearing of the hijab as a symbol of freedom of religion and conviction, and sometimes as an act of rebellion against the capitalist vision of female liberation. UNDERCOVERED is a film about some of these women. Nejra Latić Hulusić was born in 1985 in Sarajevo, and graduated from the Directing Department of the Sarajevo Academy of Performing Arts. Her previous work as a director includes the short feature film U PLAVO; the short documentary HER CINEMA LOVE, which was screened at leading documentary film festivals including Hot Docs, Visions du Réel, DOK Leipzig, ZagrebDOX, Dokufest and MakeDOX; a number of documentary films produced for BHT1; and several television series and magazine programmes.

U dubini duše Sule je svjestan da zapravo treba da izgladi odnose sa sinom. Savršena prilika za to mu se ukazuje kada bh. ambasada u Londonu ponudi da organizuje izložbu njegovih slika pod naslovom “Vodič kroz crnu rupu”. Datum izložbe je utvrđen, ali slike još nisu gotove, i Suletu je jasno da mora odbaciti vlastite poroke. Aleksandar Nikolić rođen je 1979. u Beogradu. Godine 1991. s porodicom seli u London gdje stiče zvanje magistra kompjuterske grafike. Dosad je producirao i režirao pet kratkih filmova koji su prikazani na brojnim filmskim festivalima, uključujući festivale Brief Encounters u Bristolu i Kino Film u Manchesteru. Nikolić je 2014. okončao rad na svom prvom dugometražnom dokumentarnom filmu THE SERBIAN LAWYER, koji je prikazan u preko 20 zemalja, uključujući i Njemačku gdje je ostvario značajan kino uspjeh. Trenutno radi na scenariju za igrani film i na nekoliko kreativnih dokumentaraca. Zlatko Pranjić rođen je 1965. godine u Zenici. Studirao je filozofiju i sociologiju u Sarajevu, a 1993. u Zagrebu je radio kao slobodni novinar i učestvovao u protivratnoj kampanji. Pranjić je 1993. uhapšen, da bi ga misija Ujedinjenih nacija po oslobađanju evakuisala u London, gdje i danas živi. Pranjić je 2004. osnovao pozorišnu trupu “Pozorište s akcentom” i u prvoj godini njenog postojanja režirao je političku predstavu “Helverova noć” s Juliette Binoche u jednoj od uloga. E Sule is a poet, an artist and the last bohemian in London’s Portobello Road. His greatest dream is to go back to his beloved Banja Luka one day, but he keeps sabotaging his chances. Deep down, Sule understands that what he really needs is to mend his relationship with his son. A perfect opportunity arises when the Bosnian embassy invites him to put on an exhibition called “Guidance Through the Black Hole”. The date is set, but the paintings are not finished, and Sule knows that he must first overcome his vices. Aleksandar Nikolić was born in 1979 in Belgrade. In 1991, together with his family, he moved to London, where he continued his education and eventually graduated with a Master’s degree in Computer Graphics. To date, he has produced and directed five short films, which have been screened at various international film festivals including Brief Encounters in Bristol and Kino Film in Manchester. In 2014, he completed his first feature documentary, THE SERBIAN LAWYER, which has screened in more than 20 countries, and saw an acclaimed cinema run in Germany. Nikolić is currently developing a feature-length script and several creative documentaries. Zlatko Pranjić was born in 1965 in Zenica, Bosnia, and studied Philosophy and Sociology in Sarajevo. In 1993, he was a freelance journalist in Zagreb and took a part in an anti-war campaign in Zagreb. During the summer of 1993, he was arrested, then evacuated by the UN to London, where he now lives. In 2004, he started the theatre group The Theatre with Accent. In the first year, he directed the political play “Helver’s Night”, with Juliette Binoche taking part in the project.

U fokusu / In Focus 2017 Ovogodišnji program U fokusu donosi šest filmova koji su obilježili proteklih dvanaest mjeseci u svijetu filma.

E This year’s In Focus section showcases six films that define the past 12 months in the world of cinema.

U Veneciji 2016. godine, u programu Venice Days, premijerno je prikazan debitantski film Hane Jušić NE GLEDAJ MI U PIJAT / QUIT STARING AT MY PLATE. Nakon što autoritativni otac postane nepokretan zbog moždanog udara, njegova dvadesetčetverogodišnja kći polako počinje da izlazi iz sjene svoje porodice koja se svakom minutom filma pokazuje kao sve disfunkcionalnija. Glavna junakinja najzad preuzima kontrolu nad svojim životom.

Hana Jušić’s feature-length debut, NE GLEDAJ MI U PIJAT / QUIT STARING AT MY PLATE premiered in Venice Days at the Venice Film Festival in 2016. It tells the story of a 24-year-old woman who slowly emerges from the shadow of her increasingly dysfunctional family after her despotic father is left bedridden by a stroke. The woman is finally taking control of her life.

Na Filmskom festivalu u Sundanceu premijerno je prikazan film Nane Ekvtimshvili i Simona Grossa CHEMI BEDNIERI OJAKHI / MOJA SRETNA PORODICA. Glavna junakinja, zrela žena s odraslom djecom i mužem, odlučuje da napusti svoju porodicu. Film, s dugim porodičnim scenama, u kojima svi pričaju naglas, a ne slušaju jedni druge, i s dokumentarističkim stilom kamere, podsjeća na najbolje primjere rumunskog novog talasa, dok autori nastavljaju da seciraju gruzijsko savremeno društvo. Kao što je bio slučaj i s njihovim prvencem IN BLOOM, nagrađenim Srcem Sarajeva. Makedonska rediteljica Teona Strugar Mitevska ovaj put se vraća u program Sarajevo Film Festivala s filmom KOGA DENOT NEMAŠE IME / KADA DAN NIJE IMAO IME, nakon što je film premijerno prikazan u Panorama Special programu Filmskog festivala u Berlinu. Mitevska kao okvir svoje priče koristi istinit događaj – neriješeno ubistvo četiri tinejdžera – i od toga pravi kondenzovanu dramu koju smješta u vremenski okvir od jednog dana. Film je strukturiran kao ansambl film koji kroz priču o šest tinejdžera istražuje duboki mačoizam balkanskog društva, kao i opću agresiju i tenzije u društvu. Drugi igrani film Bojana Vuletića REKVIJEM ZA GOSPOĐU J., također prikazan u programu Panorama Special, prati nesretnu i depresivnu udovicu koja se odlučuje na ekstremne mjere te se priprema da si okonča život. No REKVIJEM ZA GOSPOĐU J. nije tragedija već više kafkijanska komedija koju reditelj naziva savremenom bajkom o današnjoj Srbiji. Dobitnica Zlatnog medvjeda na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu Ildikó Enyedi s filmom TESTRŐL ÉS LÉLEKRŐL / O TIJELU I DUŠI donosi neobičnu priču o ljubavi, žanrovski smještenu u brutalnu romantičnu dramu. Enyedi miješa realistični humor sa stiliziranom senzualnošću u priči o dvoje usamljenih ljudi koji rade u klaonici i na neobičan način završe skupa. Iz selekcije Filmskog festivala u Cannesu donosimo film JUPITEROV MJESEC / JUPITER’S MOON reditelja Kornéla Mundruczóa. Film se fokusira na aktuelnu izbjegličku krizu, no vrlo brzo postaje nešto mnogo više od očekivane priče o izbjeglicama. Mundruczó ponovo uspijeva da iznenadi i ovaj put pravi film pun akcije i uzbuđenja kroz vizuelno izuzetan film. Da zaključimo, ove godine donosimo priče o ljubavnicima, depresivnim ženama, neumornim tinejdžerima, izbjeglicama i profiterima, filmove o mladim i zrelim ženama – a svi ovi likovi zapravo su u potrazi za slobodom u društvima koja se raspadaju i odražavaju sveopći kolaps pravih vrijednosti.

CHEMI BEDNIERI OJAKHI / MY HAPPY FAMILY by Georgian directing duo Nana Ekvitimshvili and Simon Gross premiered at Sundance. It is a sociological drama about a middle-aged married woman and mother of two who decides to leave her family. With its long family argument scenes, in which everyone talks and nobody listens, and documentary-style lensing, the film is reminiscent of the Romanian New Wave. As was the case with their debut film IN BLOOM, the helmers’ second feature is an examination of contemporary Georgian society. Macedonian director Teona Strugar Mitevska returns to Sarajevo with WHEN THE DAY HAD NO NAME, which premiered in the Panorama Special section at the Berlinale. The film is a condensed drama that plays out over the course of one day, closely based on the unsolved real-life murder of four teenagers. Structured as an ensemble film, WHEN THE DAY HAD NO NAME uses the story of six teenagers to survey ingrained machismo, aggression and cultural tension in the Balkans. Bojana Vuletić’s second feature REKVIJEM ZA GOSPOĐU J. / REQUIEM FOR MRS. J., which also screened in the Panorama Special programme, follows a depressed widow as she prepares to commit suicide. Rather than a tragedy, however, the film is a Kafkaesque comedy, described by Vuletić as a fairytale about modern-day Serbia. Ildikó Enyedi’s ON BODY AND SOUL, the winner of the Golden Bear for Best Film at the 2017 Berlin International Film Festival, is an unusual love story that plays out in a brutal setting. Enyedi mixes realist humor and stylised sensuality in her tale of two lonely slaughterhouse employees who take an unusual path to end up together. Another film that screened at the Cannes is Kornél Mundruczó’s JUPITER’S MOON, which revolves around today’s refugee crisis, but soon expands well outside the conventional refugee tale model. As he has in the past, Mundruczó manages to surprise with this action-packed, exciting and visually stunning movie. In conclusion, this year we present to you films about lovers, depressed women, restless teenagers, refugees and profiteers, about young and middle-aged women – but all these characters are in the pursuit of happiness in societies that are falling apart and that reflect the collapse of the values we hold dear.

Chemi bednieri ojakhi / Moja sretna porodica / My Happy Family U noći svog pedeset i drugog rođendana, gruzijska nastavnica književnosti Manana neočekivano obavještava članove svoje porodice da odlazi. Manana već 30 godina živi s mužem, roditeljima, dvoje djece i kćerkinim mužem u istom trosobnom stanu u Tbilisiju. Ukućani njenu odluku u početku ne shvataju ozbiljno. Međutim, Manana pakuje kofere i odlazi. Porodica je šokirana i zbunjena i pitaju se gdje to ona ide i ko ju je uznemirio. Na kraju krajeva, „prestara je za razvod“, a ima dobrog muža koji ne pije, ne drogira se i ne tuče je. Nana Ekvtimishvili rođena je 1978. u Tbilisiju. Studirala je dramske umjetnosti i scenarij na filmskoj školi u Potsdam-Babelsbergu. Godine 2011. režira kratki film WAITING FOR MUM, a godinu dana kasnije osniva produkcijsku kompaniju Polare Film sa Simonom Grossom, s kojim potom zajednički piše, režira i producira film IN BLOOM. Film je osvojio preko 30 međunarodnih festivalskih nagrada, kao i Srce Sarajeva za najbolji film, a 2014. godine bio je gruzijski kandidat za nagradu Oscar za najbolji film na stranom jeziku. Njen drugi igrani film, MOJA SRETNA PORODICA, koji je, također, režirala zajedno sa Simonom Grossom, premijerno je prikazan na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu Sundance.

Nakon što je režirao nekoliko kratkih filmova, snima svoj prvi igrani film FATA MORGANA. Saradnju s Nanom Ekvtimishvili počeo je tokom rada na istom filmu. Njegov posljednji film, MOJA SRETNA PORODICA, koji je također režirao zajedno sa Nanom, premijerno je prikazan na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu Sundance. E On the evening of her 52nd birthday, Georgian literature teacher Manana unexpectedly announces to her family that she is leaving. She has been married for 30 years and lives in a three-bedroom flat in Tbilisi with her husband, parents, two children and her son-in-law. Initially, the family members do not take Manana’s decision seriously. But then she packs her suitcase and leaves. The family is shocked and incredulous: where is she going? Who has upset her? She is past ‘divorce age’, after all, and has a good husband who doesn’t drink, take drugs or beat her.

Nana Ekvtimishvili was born in 1978 in Tbilisi. She studied Dramatics and Screenwriting at the film school in Potsdam-Babelsberg. She directed the short film WAITING FOR MUM in 2011. Ekvtimishvili founded her own production company Polare Film with Simon Gross and wrote, co-directed and coproduced IN BLOOM in Georgia in 2012. The film won 30 awards at international festivals, including Heart of Sarajevo for the Best Film and was Georgia’s submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2014.

Koga denot nemaše ime / Kada dan nije imao ime / When the Day Had no Name Milan i njegov najbolji prijatelj Petar se sa grupom drugih tinejdžera iz skopskih predgrađa pripremaju za uzbudljiv izlet. Puni su adrenalina i spremni za noć opijanja i zezanja prije jutarnjeg odlaska na pecanje. Kao i svi tinejdžeri, seksualno i emotivno su frustrirani, i zaokupljeni materijalnim problemima. Ponekad se ponašaju kao vragovi, a ponekad kao anđeli. Žude da budu odrasli, ali se uglavnom i dalje ponašaju kao djeca. Svi su u lošim odnosima sa roditeljima i tipični su predstavnici generacije koja odrasta u vrijeme tranzicije i upitnih društvenih vrijednosti. Etničke tenzije i posjeta maloljetnoj prostitutki, koja se neće odvijati po planu, zasjenit će njihov noćni izlazak. Teona Strugar Mitevska rođena je 1974. u Skoplju, Makedonija. Mitevska je 2001. godine stekla zvanje magistrice filmske umjetnosti na prestižnoj Tisch školi za umjetnost Univerziteta u New Yorku. Njen debitantski kratki film VETA osvojio je Specijalnu nagradu žirija Filmskog festivala u Berlinu, a njen prvi dugometražni igrani film HOW I KILLED A SAINT prikazan je na više od 50 filmskih festivala i osvojio je niz nagrada širom svijeta. Njen drugi igrani film I AM FROM TITOV VELES prikazan je na više od 80 filmskih festivala širom svijeta i osvojio je preko 20 nagrada, uključujući Specijalnu nagradu žirija Sarajevo Film Festivala. Film je 2008. i 2009. godine uvršten u kino repertoar u 15 zemalja. E Milan and his best friend Petar prepare an adventurous excursion with some other teenagers from the outskirts of Skopje. They are full of adrenaline for a boys’ night out of drinking and horseplay before an early morning fishing expedition – typical teenagers full of sexual and romantic tensions, and angst about money and material things. They are sometimes devilish and sometimes angelic; hungry to be adults, yet they still mostly act like children. All have dysfunctional relationships with their parents, and they represent a whole generation of youth raised in a time of transition and questionable values. Their night of fun is tainted by ethnic tensions and a visit to a teenaged prostitute that goes wrong...

Teona Strugar Mitevska was born in 1974 in Skopje, Macedonia. In 2001, she finished the Master of Film Arts programme at New York University’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts. She made her directorial debut in 2001 with the short film VETA, which received the Special Jury award at the Berlin International Film Festival. Her first feature-length film, HOW I KILLED A SAINT, travelled to more than 50 film festivals and won numerous prizes around the world. Her second film, I AM FROM TITOV VELES, was theatrically released in 15 countries in 2008-2009, and was screened in the official competition of the Sarajevo Film Festival, where it won a Special Jury Award. The film was invited to more than 80 festivals around the world and won more than 20 international awards.

Ne gledaj mi u pijat / Quit Staring at My Plate Htjela ona to ili ne, Marijanina se svakodnevica vrti isključivo oko njene obitelji. Petkovići žive doslovno jedan na drugome u minijaturnom stanu, međusobno se dovodeći do ludila. Nakon što dominantni otac obitelji doživi moždani udar i ostane prikovan za krevet, Marijana preuzima ulogu vođe čopora. Dok njena neodgovorna majka i brat sa poteškoćama u razvoju situaciju čine sve težom, Marijana radi dva posla kako bi održala obitelj. Kada stvari postanu nepodnošljive, ona počinje iskušavati svoje osobne granice kroz susrete s nepoznatim muškarcima: ovaj, za nju nov, okus slobode navodi je da granice pomiče još dalje. Odlučiti šta bi zapravo trebala s tom slobodom, sad kad je napokon ima, Marijani je veliko iskušenje. Hana Jušić rođena je 1983. u Šibeniku, Hrvatska. Magistrirala je filmsku i TV režiju na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Njeni kratki filmovi prikazani su i višestruko nagrađivani na značajnim domaćim i međunarodnim festivalima. Napisala je scenarije za dugometražne filmove ZAGONETNI DJEČAK reditelja Dražena Žarkovića i UZBUNA NA ZELENOM VRHU rediteljice Čejen Černić. NE GLEDAJ MI U PIJAT njen je prvi dugometražni igrani film. E Whether she likes it or not, Marijana’s daily life revolves around her family. The members of the Petković family share their days crammed into a tiny flat, where they drive each other crazy. When her overbearing father is bedridden after suffering a stroke, Marijana takes over his role as head of the household. She has to work two jobs to keep her family afloat, while her irresponsible mother and mentally impaired brother make her life increasingly difficult. When her troubles become too much to bear, Marijana starts testing her own boundaries through flings with unknown men, but the taste of freedom only makes her push the limits all the more. After she has finally won her freedom, it is a huge challenge for Marijana to decide what to do with it.

Hana Jušić was born in 1983 in Šibenik, Croatia. She finished the Master of Film and TV Directing programme at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. Her short films were screened at numerous national and international film festivals, where they won several awards. She wrote the screenplays for Dražen Žarković’s THE MISTERIOUS BOY and Čejen Černić’s THE MISTERY OF GREEN HILL. QUIT STARING AT MY PLATE is her first feature-length film.

Rekvijem za gospođu J. / Requiem for Mrs. J. Jeleni je dosadio život. Godinu dana ranije, umro joj je muž i Jelena se, bez obzira što živi sa svoje dvije kćeri i svekrvom, neprestano osjeća usamljeno i umorno. Na kraju sedmice, na godišnjicu muževljeve smrti, odlučuje se na samoubistvo. Jelena je već pripremila pištolj, ali prije toga ima dosta za obaviti: naći klesara koji će uklesati sliku na nadgrobni spomenik, te ovjeriti zdravstvenu knjižicu. Da bi to uradila, potrebno je da donese potvrdu da je proteklih dvadeset godina bila zaposlena i dobijala platu. U zemlji, koja se stalno nalazi u procjepu između patnje i tranzicije, ova tiha, skromna žena polako počinje shvatati da ništa nije onako jednostavno kakvim se na početku čini. Vlast je preopterećena, Jelenina nekadašnja firma je bankrotirala, a preostali zaposlenici samo trate vrijeme. A kraj sedmice sve je bliži. Bojan Vuletić rođen je 1977. godine u Beogradu. Studirao je filmsku i TV režiju na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti. Njegov nagrađivani igrani prvenac, PRAKTIČAN VODIČ KROZ BEOGRAD SA PEVANJEM I PLAKANJEM, premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom fimskom festivalu u Karlovym Varyma. Njegov drugi igrani film, REKVIJEM ZA GOSPOĐU J., premijerno je prikazan u programu Panorama Special ovogodišnjeg Filmskog festivala u Berlinu. E Jelena has had enough of life. Her husband died a year ago, and she feels tired and lonely – in spite of her two daughters and her mother-in-law, all of whom share her flat. She has decided that at the end of the week, on the anniversary of her husband’s death, she will commit suicide. She has a pistol ready for the job. But there are a number of things to sort out beforehand: she needs to get a mason to put her portrait photograph on her gravestone and renew her health insurance card. In order to do so, Jelena needs proof she has been a salaried employee for the past 20 years. Gradually, this quiet, humble woman begins to realise that nothing is simple in a country that is constantly swinging back and forth between torment and transition. The authorities are unable to cope, Jelena’s former employers are now bankrupt and the remaining staff are just killing time. And the end of the week is drawing near.

Bojan Vuletić was born in 1977 in Belgrade. He studied Film and Television Directing at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade. His feature film debut PRACTICAL GUIDE TO BELGRADE WITH SINGING AND CRYING premiered at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and went on to win several awards. His second feature REQUIEM FOR MRS. J. had its world premiere at the Berlinale in the Panorama Special section in 2017.

Testről és lélekről / O tijelu i duši / On Body and Soul Čudnovato lijepa ljubavna priča odvija se u jednoj klaonici u Budimpešti. Tik nakon što preuzme posao kontrolorke kvalitete, Mária postaje predmet ogovaranja. Tokom ručka u sterilnoj kantini, ova mlada žena uvijek bira sto za kojim će moći sjediti sama i jesti svoj obrok u tišini. Posao shvata izuzetno ozbiljno i čvrsto se pridržava pravila, te za svaki suvišni gram sala dodjeljuje kaznene bodove. Njen svijet sastoji se od brojki i podataka koji su joj usađivani u glavu još od ranoga djetinjstva. Márijin nešto stariji šef Endre također je samozatajan tip. Njih dvoje se oprezno i postepeno počinju upoznavati. Nakon što spoznaju svoju duhovnu bliskost, sa iznenađenjem otkrivaju da noću sanjaju čak i iste snove, te ih pažljivo pokušaju pretvoriti u stvarnost. Ildikó Enyedi rođena je 1955. u Budimpešti. Studirala je ekonomiju i film na Univerzitetu u Budimpešti, a zatim i u Montpellieru, Francuska. Nakon rada na više eksperimentalnih i narativnih kratkih filmova, Enyedi je od 1989. godine snimila šest igranih filmova s kojima je osvojila više značajnih nagrada. S filmom MY 20TH CENTURY osvojila je nagradu Zlatna kamera za najbolji debitantski film na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu, dok su njeni filmovi MAGIC HUNTER i TAMÁS AND JUL prikazani u zvaničnoj konkurenciji Filmskog festivala u Veneciji 1995. i 1997. godine. Njen film O TIJELU I DUŠI premijerno je prikazan na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu gdje je osvojio nagradu Zlatni medvjed. E A slaughterhouse in Budapest is the setting for a strangely beautiful love story. No sooner does Mária start work as the new quality controller than the whispers begin. At lunchtime, the young woman always chooses a table on her own in the sterile canteen, where she sits in silence. She takes her job seriously and adheres strictly to the rules, deducting penalty points for every excess ounce of fat. Hers is a world that consists of figures and data that have imprinted themselves on her memory since early childhood. Her slightly older boss Endre is also the quiet type. Tentatively, they begin to get to know each other. Recognising their spiritual kinship, they are amazed to discover that they even have the same dreams at night. Carefully, they attempt to make them come true.

Aus dem Nichts / Niotkuda / In the Fade Katjin život zauvijek se promijeni kada se DNK analizom ustanovi da ostaci pronađeni na mjestu bombaškog napada pripadaju njenom mužu i sinu.

Baby Driver / Vozač Baby, talentovani mladi vozač auta za bijeg, oslanja se na ritam muzike koju neprestano sluša kako bi bio najbolji u igri. Kad upozna djevojku svojih snova, odluči napustiti svijet kriminala i početi život iz početka. Međutim, Baby biva prisiljen raditi za jednog od šefova podzemlja, a nakon jedne neuspjele pljačke, morat će se suočiti s posljedicama vlastitih izbora i pokušati da otkloni opasnost koja se nadvila nad njegovim životom, ljubavi i slobodom. Edgar Wright rođen je 1974. godine u Pooleu, Velika Britanija. Filmski je reditelj, scenarista, producent i glumac. Još kao tinejdžer snimio je nekoliko amaterskih filmova, a u svojoj 20. godini snima dugometražni igrani prvenac, niskobudžetni film A FISTFUL OF FINGERS. Rad za televiziju, a naročito angažman na mjestu reditelja kultne serije „Spaced“ (1999-2001), na kojoj je sarađivao sa Simonom Peggom i Jessicom Stevenson, predstavljao je prekretnicu u njegovoj karijeri. Postaje poznat kao autor filmske trilogije THREE FLAVORS CORENTTO, koja je uključivala filmove SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ i THE WORLD’S END, na kojima se poigrao s konvencijama različitih filmskih žanrova. Podjednako subverzivni su i njegov kratki film DON’T, koji je uključen u filmski projekat GRINDHOUSE Quentina Tarantina i Roberta Rodrigueza, i njegova filmska adaptacija stripa SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD. E A talented young getaway driver relies on the beats of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. When he meets the girl of his dreams, Baby sees a chance to ditch his criminal life and make a clean getaway. But after being coerced into working for a crime boss, he must face the music when a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom.

Edgar Wright was born 1974 in Poole, UK. He is a film director, screenwriter, producer, and actor. As a teen in the 1980s, he shot several short amateur films before making his feature-length debut at the age of 20 with the low-budget A FISTFUL OF FINGERS. An important milestone in his career was his work for television, in particular as director of the cult series “Spaced” (1999-2001), on which he collaborated with Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson. He first gained wider recognition as the creator of the THREE FLAVOURS CORNETTO trilogy, in which he toyed with and exploded various genre conventions: SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ and THE WORLD’S END. Equally subversive were his short film DON’T, which was included in Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s GRINDHOUSE, and his comic-book adaptation SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD.

A Fish Called Wanda / Riba zvana Wanda Kad se spoje četiri lukava kradljivca dragulja, tri jokširska terijera, par čvrstih grudi i jedan tipični britanski advokat, dobije se mješavina koja osigurava „neprekidan slijed beskrajno smiješnih obrata i nevjerovatnih glumačkih izvedbi“. U ovoj nevjerovatno smiješnoj filmskoj farsi, žena po imenu Wanda, u nastojanju da se dočepa dragulja, mora prevariti plaćenog ubicu koji voli životinje, smotanog advokata i svoga momka koji obožava citirati Nietzschea. Charles Crichton rođen je 1910. godine u Walleseyju, Velika Britanija. Tokom tridesetih godina prošlog vijeka radio je kao filmski montažer i sarađivao na filmovima u produkciji Alexandera Korde SANDERS OF THE RIVER, THINGS TO COME, ELEPHANT BOY i THE THIEF OF BAGDAD. Režijom se počeo baviti 1941. snimivši kratki film THE YOUNG VETERANS. Svoj prvi dugometražni film snimio je 1944. u filmskom studiju Ealing, a godinu dana kasnije u sklopu horor omnibusa DEAD OF NIGHT režira smiješno-strašni kratki film THE GOLFING STORY. Crichton je najveći uspjeh postigao sa svojim komedijama, prvenstveno s filmovima HUE AND CRY, THE LAVENDER HILL MOB, THE TITFIELD THUNDERBOLT i THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES. Šezdesetih godina prošlog vijeka preusmjerio je pažnju na televiziju, ali se 1988. godine izuzetno uspješno vraća filmu s crnom komedijom RIBA ZVANA WANDA. E Four conniving jewel thieves… three Yorkshire terriers… two heaving bosoms and one proper British barrister. It all adds up to “a non-stop barrage of …outrageous plot twists and over-the top performances” when a woman called Wanda tries to deceive her Nietzsche-quoting boyfriend, an animal-loving hitman and an embarrassment-prone counsellor out of a fortune in jewels in this hilariously funny farce!

Charles Crichton was born in 1910 in Wallasey, UK. He was a film editor in England during the ‘30s and worked on the Alexander Korda productions SANDERS OF THE RIVER, THINGS TO COME, ELEPHANT BOY and THE THIEF OF BAGDAD. He began directing in 1941 with the short film THE YOUNG VETERANS. At Ealing, he made his first feature in 1944; the following year he directed the comic chiller THE GOLFING STORY in the classic horror anthology DEAD OF NIGHT. Crichton reached his height in comedy, most notably with HUE AND CRY, THE LAVENDER HILL MOB, THE TITFIELD THUNDERBOLT and THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES. He shifted his attention to television in the ‘60s, but enjoyed a cinema renaissance in 1988, directing the black comedy A FISH CALLED WANDA.

Las Hijas de Abril / Avrilina kćerka / April’s Daughter Sedamnaestogodišnja Valerija zatrudnjela je sa svojim maloljetnim momkom, ali o tome nije obavijestila svoju majku Avril. Kada njena sestra Clara u tajnosti nazove Avril, njihova majka dolazi puna brige, podrške i nježnosti. Ali, kratko nakon rođenja bebe, postaje jasno zašto je Valerija željela držati Avril što dalje od sebe. Michel Franco rođen je 1979. u Ciudad de Méxicu. Kratke filmove počeo je snimati po završetku medijskih studija. Njegov film CUANDO SEA GRANDE, snimljen za potrebe antikorupcijske kampanje, prikazivao se u 500 kino dvorana širom Mexica 2001. godine. S filmom ENTRE DOS osvojio je Veliku nagradu Filmskog festivala u Huesci 2003. godine, kao i nagradu za najbolji kratki film na Filmskom festivalu u Dresdenu. Njegov prvi dugometražni igrani film, DANIEL AND ANA, uvršten je u Directors’ Fortnight program Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2009. godine, da bi potom bio prikazan na brojnim festivalima širom svijeta, kao i u kinima niza zemalja, uključujući Meksiko, Španiju, Francusku i Sjedinjene Američke Države. Francov drugi dugometražni igrani film, AFTER LUCIA, osvojio je nagradu Un Certain Regard programa Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2012. godine. CHRONIC, njegov treći film, također je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2015, gdje je osvojio nagradu za najbolji scenarij. E Seventeen-year-old Valeria got pregnant with her teenage boyfriend, but she has not yet informed her absent mother, April. Valeria’s sister Clara goes behind her back and calls April, who arrives with displays of concern, support and tenderness. But once the baby is born, it soon becomes clear why Valeria wanted to keep April as far away as possible.

Michel Franco was born in 1979 in Mexico City. He started making short films after media studies. In 2001, CUANDO SEA GRANDE, made for an anti-corruption campaign, was released in 500 cinemas across Mexico. In 2003, ENTRE DOS won the Grand Prize of the Festival of Huesca and received the prize for Best Short Film at the Filmfest Dresden. In 2009, DANIEL AND ANA, his first feature-length film, was selected for the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival. It subsequently appeared at several international festivals and was distributed in numerous territories including France, Mexico, Spain and the USA.

Toivon tuolla puolen / Druga strana nade / The Other Side of Hope Bježeći iz ratom razorene zemlje, s planom da u Finskoj zatraži azil, Sirijac Khaled stiže u helsinšku luku sakriven u kontejneru s ugljem. Zbunjen i frustriran monolitnim birokratskim aparatom s kojim se suočava, Khaled bježi iz azilantskog centra. Lutajući ulicama upoznaje Wikströma, bivšeg prodavača košulja, koji je nedavno napustio ženu alkoholičarku i započeo novi život kao vlasnik ugostiteljskog lokala. Njih dvojica će se međusobno pomagati u prevazilaženju problema s kojim se suočavaju u svojim nepoznatim i često zbunjujućim novim životima. Aki Kaurismäki rođen je 1957. godine u Orimattili, Finska. Karijeru je započeo kao koreditelj na filmovima svog starijeg brata Mike Kaurismäkija. Njegov prvi samostalni rediteljski uradak bio je film CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, zasnovan na istoimenoj knjizi Fjodora Mihajloviča Dostojevskog, ali s radnjom smještenom u savremeni Helsinki. Značajniju međunarodnu slavu stekao je zahvaljujući saradnji na više svojih filmova s rock bendom Leningrad Cowboys. Njegov najpoznatiji film THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST je 2002. godine osvojio Veliku nagradu i Nagradu ekumenskog žirija Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, a 2003. godine nominiran je za nagradu Oscar za najbolji film na stranom jeziku. S filmom DRUGA STRANA NADE osvojio je nagradu Srebreni medvjed za najbolju režiju Filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2017. godine. E Khaled arrives at the port of Helsinki concealed inside a coal container, fleeing war-torn Syria to seek asylum in Finland. Dazed and frustrated by the monolithic administration he encounters at the detention centre, he makes a break for it and heads out onto the streets. There he meets Wikström, a former shirt salesman who has recently left his alcoholic wife for a new life as a bachelor restaurateur. Together, the two men help each other navigate the adversities they face in these unfamiliar and often baffling new worlds.

Aki Kaurismäki was born in 1957 in Orimattila, Finland. He started his career as a co-director on the films of his elder brother Mika Kaurismäki. His debut as an independent director was CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, an adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s novel set in modern Helsinki. Through his collaboration with the rock band the Leningrad Cowboys in several of his films, his worldwide fame has increased. Kaurismäki’s most acclaimed film is THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST, which won the Grand Prix and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2003. His 2017 film THE OTHER SIDE OF HOPE won the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival.

Žaba / The Frog Zeko, brico i bivši borac sa PTSP-om, poziva brata Bracu i prijatelja Švabu na Bajram. Namjerava da iskoristi praznično raspoloženje, te brata, kockara i alkoholičara, nagovori da se promijeni. Braco ga ne želi slušati i ne shvata priču ozbiljno. Zeko uzima britvu i prislanja je na Bracin vrat, te silom iznudi od njega obećanje da će se promijeniti. Braco bijesan odlazi, ne želeći ga više ikad vidjeti, a Švabo predlaže Zeki da posjeti psihijatra. Kad ostane sam, bez jedinog prijatelja i brata, Zeko uzima bombu. Izvjesno samoubistvo sprečava dolazak Mukija, mladića koji ide od vrata do vrata i prodaje knjige. Elmir Jukić rođen je 1971. godine u Sarajevu. Diplomirao je na Akademiji scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu, 2000. godine. Režirao je u pozorištu i na televiziji. Objavio je nekoliko tekstova u bosanskohercegovačkim magazinima. Predaje režiju na Akademiji scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu. E Zeko, a barber and ex-soldier suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, invites his brother Braco and his friend Švabo to Eid festivities. He intends to take advantage of the festive mood and ask his brother, a gambler and alcoholic, to change his ways. Braco doesn’t want to listen and will not take the conversation seriously. Zeko puts a razor under his brother’s neck, forcing him to promise he will change; furious, Braco leaves, telling Zeko he will never see him again, while Švabo suggests that Zeko see a psychiatrist. Alone, without his only friend and his brother, Zeko decides to kill himself – until Muki, a young man selling books door-to-door, stops him.

Elmir Jukić was born in 1971 in Sarajevo. He graduated in Directing from the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo in 2000, and has directed work for theatre and television. He has published several texts in magazines in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and teaches Directing at the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo.

Uvod / Introduction Dobrodošli u Kinoscope – našu godišnju smotru filmova proizvedenih van granica jugoistočne Evrope. Od stotinu pregledanih filmova, odabrali smo 17 naslova koje ćemo predstaviti sarajevskoj publici. Prošla godina u svijetu filma bila je plodonosna, ali kao što već postaje uobičajeno za festivale koji vole film, odlučili smo da djela već priznatih filmskih umjetnika upotpunimo iznenađujućim i uzbudljivim naslovima novih autora iz raznih dijelova svijeta. Otkrivanje novih talenata zapravo i jeste razlog postojanja filmskih festivala. Mike Goodridge

Naravno, bilo bi pogrešno smatrati da već etablirani reditelji nisu u stanju ponuditi svježe ideje i vizije. Uzmite za primjer Andreya Zvyagintseva, ruskog reditelja koji je svoj sjajni opus (THE RETURN, LEVIATHAN i dr.) upravo dodatno obogatio novim filmom NELYUBOV / BEZ LJUBAVI. BEZ LJUBAVI postiže ono što uspijeva samo istinski sjajnim djelima: kroz intimnu i angažovanu priču daje širi pogled na društvo u kojem je radnja smještena. Autorova razorna vizija moderne Rusije govori o otuđenom bračnom paru suočenom s misterioznim nestankom dvanaestogodišnjeg sina. Sličan je slučaj i s Rubenom Östlundom čije su filmske kritike društva uvijek začinjene dozom oštrog humora. THE SQUARE / TRG, njegov posljednji film, vjerovatno je njegov najambiciozniji dosadašnji projekat. Iznimno smiješan, nefokusiran i često okrutan, TRG u konačnici govori o dubokom jazu između bogatih i siromašnih kao, vjerovatno, ključnoj odrednici modernog društva. Jedan od velikana evropske kinematografije Michael Haneke u filmu HAPPY END / SRETAN KRAJ kritički se osvrće na malograđanštinu i političku korektnost bogatih. Njegova posljednja priča o ispraznim likovima koji ne znaju kako komunicirati jedni s drugima, uprkos neograničenom pristupu brojnim komunikacijskim uređajima i društvenim mrežama, zaigranija je od većine njegovih prethodnih filmova slične tematike. Ne samo iskusni, već i mladi autori u svoje filmove suptilno preslikavaju današnji haotični svijet. Odličan primjer toga je THE RIDER / JAHAČ kineske rediteljice Chloé Zhao. Film prati dvadesetogodišnjeg kauboja iz Južne Dakote koji nakon povrede mozga pokušava prihvatiti činjenicu da se vjerovatno više neće moći baviti poslom koji voli, niti provoditi vrijeme s konjima. Kroz nježni portret jednog mladića, ovaj film pruža uvid u život zapuštenih krajeva ruralne Amerike, koje su zapostavili centri moći, a čije stanovnike je osvojila retorika Donalda Trumpa.

Ovogodišnje izdanje Kinoscopea donosi nekoliko prekrasnih karakternih drama koje nas navode da se upitamo kakav je to osjećaj biti čovjek u svijetu lažnih vijesti, široko rasprostranjenog terorizma i masovnih migracija. THE WORK / RAD, emotivni dokumentarac Gethina Aldousa i Jairusa McLearyja, prati četverodnevnu radionicu u zloglasnom kalifornijskom zatvoru Folsom. Radi se o sjajnom filmu koji zalazi iza nasilne, mačo-maske osuđenika i razotkriva nježne duše kojima nikad nije pružena prava šansa. Vizuelno snažni i poetični dokumentarac Ziada Kalthouma, TASTE OF CEMENT / UKUS CEMENTA, na drugom kraju svijeta prati drugu grupu muškaraca, redom sirijskih izbjeglica, koji rade kao građevinski radnici u Bejrutu. Ovi muškarci, koji su iza sebe ostavili razrušenu domovinu, bore se da izađu na kraj s posttraumatskim stresom, odvojeni od svojih voljenih i suočeni s neizvjesnom budućnošću. Još jedan od filmova u našem programu fokusiran isključivo na muškarce je WESTERN Valeske Grisebach. Ovaj igrani film prati grupu njemačkih fizičkih radnika koji se tokom rada u Bugarskoj sukobljavaju s lokalnim stanovništvom. WESTERN je klasična priča o modernoj Evropi i kulturnim razlikama koje nas definišu. Ovogodišnje kasnonoćne projekcije neće biti ništa manje smislene ili umjetnički vrijedne zbog eksperimentisanja s različitim filmskim žanrovima. Naime, prilikom izbora filmova nismo mogli odoljeti sjajnom horor-prvencu GRAVE / SIROVO francuske rediteljice Julije Ducournau. Kanibali nikada nisu bili tako kompleksni i ranjivi kao u ovom filmu. Alice Lowe u svom rediteljskom prvencu PREVENGE igra ženu u visokom stadiju trudnoće koju njeno nerođeno dijete uspješno nagovara na seriju ubistava. Film na metaforičan način govori o anksioznosti kao sastavnom dijelu trudnoće. Meditativna drama američkog reditelja Davida Loweryja, A GHOST STORY / PRIČA JEDNOG DUHA, govori o tugovanju žene nakon smrti supruga, prikazujući njega kao duha zaogrnutog čaršafom koji je uhodi. Francuski filmski vizionar reditelj Bertrand Bonello u filmu NOCTURAMA / NOKTURAMA gledaoce upoznaje s grupom radikalnih mladih bogataša koji noć provode skriveni u pariskoj robnoj kući nakon što su prethodnog dana izvršili seriju besmislenih terorističkih napada. Kinoscope donosi još nekoliko filmskih poslastica, uključujući uzbudljivi film Léonor Serraille JEUNE FEMME / MLADA ŽENA s fantastičnom mladom glumicom Laetitijom Dosch u ulozi


žene koja pokušava ponovo izgraditi život nakon što je okončala desetogodišnju vezu. U programu se našlo mjesta i za film AVA još jedne mlade francuske rediteljice Leae Mysius koja nas vodi u francusko primorsko odmaralište, gdje je tvrdoglava trinaestogodišnja djevojčica upravo saznala da će izgubiti vid. Carla Simon iz Španije osvrće se na vlastiti život u svome izvanrednom i sjetnom filmu ESTIU 1993. / LJETO 1993. o šestogodišnjoj djevojčici koja se, nakon što joj je majka umrla od AIDS-a, seli kod ujne i ujaka. U filmu GABRIEL E A MONTANHA / GABRIEL I PLANINA, Fellipe Barbosa nas vodi u Afriku kako bismo pratili putovanje jednog Brazilca. Film ceste kineskog reditelja Mong-hong Chunga, YI LU SHUN FENG / SRETAN PUT, uzdržana je komedija o vozaču taksija koji slučajno upada u svijet kriminala nakon što u neznanju poveze jednog narko-dilera. Joshua Z. Weinstein nas u svome filmu MENASHE, priči o smotanom udovcu koji se s bratom svoje pokojne supruge bori za starateljstvo nad vlastitim sinom, upoznaje s ultrakonzervativnom jevrejskom zajednicom u Brooklynu, New York. Kao i uvijek, Kinoscope vam donosi obilje priča iz raznih zemalja i različitih kultura širom svijeta. Ponosni smo što se u našoj selekciji našlo sedam filmova koje su režirale žene, što je siguran pokazatelj sve veće otvorenosti i raznolikosti moderne svjetske kinematografije.

E Welcome to Kinoscope 2017, our annual programme of cinema from the world outside Southeast Europe. The 17-film selection is highly curated from hundreds of titles viewed and considered for discerning Sarajevo audiences. It has been a rich year for film but, as has become customary at such a film-loving festival, we found ourselves complementing work from established auteurs with the surprising and exciting visions of new voices from around the world. Discovery, after all, is the raison d’être of any film festival.

You can never discount established directors from delivering new cinematic ideas and visions. Take Andrey Zvyagintsev, the Russian filmmaker whose increasingly dazzling œuvre (THE RETURN, LEVIATHAN, etc) just got even better with NELYUBOV / LOVELESS. LOVELESS does what the best cinema does: it tells an intimate and involving story while at the same

time taking a much wider view of the society in which it is set. This devastating vision of contemporary Russia shows an estranged couple confronted with the mysterious disappearance of their 12-year-old son. Likewise, Ruben Östlund, whose films have always laced their social critiques with acerbic comedy, comes up with his most ambitious film to date in THE SQUARE. Hilarious, meandering and often savage, THE SQUARE ultimately addresses the gulf between rich and poor that perhaps defines today’s world. Michael Haneke, one of cinema’s great European masters, takes pot-shots at the bourgeoisie and the politically correct arrogance of the prosperous in HAPPY END. Haneke’s latest tableau of empty characters who are unable to communicate with each other – here despite the plethora of social media devices at their fingertips – is more playful than most of his films. Moving away from veteran directors, today’s chaotic world is subtly reflected in the work of younger filmmakers. Take Chloé Zhao’s THE RIDER, a tender and moving film about a 20-year-old cowboy in South Dakota struggling with a brain injury and the threat of no longer being able to work with his beloved horses. Her tender portrait of the cowboy gives us insight into a world of disenfranchised heartland Americans who are neglected by coastal powerbases and who felt connected to the rhetoric of Donald Trump. Indeed, this year’s Kinoscope features several beautiful character studies that lead us to consider what it means to be human in a world of fake news, widespread terrorism and vast migration. Gethin Aldous and Jairus McLeary’s emotional documentary THE WORK shows a four-day workshop in California’s infamous Folsom Prison. This is a tearful film that strips away these men’s violent masculinity to reveal sensitive souls that never had a chance. On the other side of the world, another group of men – all Syrian refugees – labour on a building site in Beirut in Ziad Kalthoum’s visually arresting and poetic documentary TASTE OF CEMENT. These men struggle with the post-traumatic stress of leaving their country in ruins, separation from their loved ones and an uncertain future. In a third film exclusively about groups of men, Valeska Grisebach’s narrative feature WESTERN is the story of a bunch of German labourers who clash with locals in Bulgaria. WESTERN is a classic tale of modern Europe and the cultural differences that define us all. Our late-night screenings this year are no less

cinematic or profound for experimenting with the tropes of genre filmmaking. We could not resist programming Julia Ducournau’s delicious horror debut GRAVE / RAW from France. Cannibals have never been this complex or vulnerable. Alice Lowe is a very pregnant murderess encouraged in her killing spree by the voice of her unborn child in Lowe’s directorial debut PREVENGE, a metaphor for the anxiety of pregnancy. And David Lowery’s meditative US drama A GHOST STORY addresses a woman’s grief for her late husband by having him haunt her as a ghost covered by a sheet. Meanwhile, visionary French director Bertrand Bonello takes us on a night of debauchery as a gang of affluent radical youths hide out in a Paris department store after a day of committing random terrorist acts in NOCTURAMA. There are several more gems to savour in Kinoscope, including Leonor Serraille’s exhilarating JEUNE FEMME / MONTPARNASSE BIENVENÜE, which stars the glorious young actor Laetitia Dosch as a woman trying to re-establish herself after ending a 10-year relationship. In AVA, Lea Mysius, another young French director, takes us to a French seaside resort where a spiky 13-year-old girl has just been told she is going to lose her eyesight. Carla Simon from Spain tells her own story as a six-year-old relocated to live with her uncle and aunt after her parents die of AIDS in the extraordinary and evocative ESTIU 1993 / SUMMER 1993. From further afield, Fellipe Barbosa takes us to Africa to follow a Brazilian traveller on the road in GABRIEL E A MONTANHA / GABRIEL AND THE MOUNTAIN. Mong-hong Chung’s Chinese road movie YI LU SHUN FENG / GODSPEED is a dead pan comedy about a cab driver who inadvertently enters a world of crime when he takes on a drug-peddling customer. And Joshua Z Weinstein takes us into the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community of Brooklyn, New York, where a klutzy widower battles his late wife’s brother over custody of his son in MENASHE. As ever, Kinoscope offers a world of stories from countries and cultures around the world. We are proud that seven of the 17 films in the selection are directed by women, a mark of the increasingly diverse palette of storytelling in world cinema today.

Ava Tokom ljetovanja na obali Atlanskog okeana, trinaestogodišnja Ava saznaje da će izgubiti vid prije nego što je očekivala. U namjeri da kćeri priušti najbolje ljetovanje u životu, njena majka odluči da se ponaša kao da se ništa ne dešava. Ava se s problemom suočava na vlastiti način: od mladića u bijegu, krade velikog crnog psa. Léa Mysius rođena je 1989. u Bordeauxu, Francuska. Nakon studija književnosti, diplomirala je scenaristiku na pariskoj filmskoj školi La Fémis 2014. godine. Režirala je tri kratka filma koja su prikazana na brojnim festivalima: CADAVRE EXQUIS, zatim LES OISEAUX-TONNERRE, koji je prikazan u takmičarskoj selekciji Cinéfondation programa Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, i L’ÎLE JAUNE, koji je režirala zajedno s Paulom Guilhaumom. AVA je njen prvi dugometražni igrani film. E Thirteen-year-old Ava is spending the summer on the Atlantic coast when she learns she will lose her sight sooner than previously expected. Her mother decides to act as though everything were normal so as to spend the best summer ever. Ava confronts the problem in her own way: she steals a big black dog that belongs to a young man on the run...

Léa Mysius was born in 1989 in Bordeaux, France. After studying Literature, she graduated from the La Fémis screenwriting department in 2014. She has directed three award-winning short films, which were selected for a number of festivals: CADAVRE EXQUIS; LES OISEAUX-TONNERRE, which was selected for the Cannes Cinéfondation Award; and L’ÎLE JAUNE, co-directed with Paul Guilhaume. AVA is her feature-length debut.

Estiu 1993 / Ljeto 1993. / Summer 1993 Nakon smrti roditelja, šestogodišnja Frida se u ljeto 1993. iz Barcelone seli u katalonsku provinciju kako bi živjela s ujnom i ujakom koji su postali njeni zakonski skrbnici. Život na selu za Fridu predstavlja izazov – tu vrijeme teče drugačije nego u Barceloni, a priroda koja je okružuje misteriozna je. Sada ima mlađu sestru za koju se mora brinuti i prisiljena je da se nosi s novim osjećajima poput ljubomore. Frida često naivno vjeruje da bi bijeg od kuće bio najbolje rješenje za njene probleme. Međutim, njeni rođaci rade sve što je u njihovoj moći da postignu novi, iako osjetljiv, balans i uspostave normalan život. Povremene posjete lokalnim festivalima, odlasci na bazen, kuhanje ili slušanje jazza u bašti predstavljaju trenutke sreće. Frida postepeno shvata da će tu morati ostati i da se mora prilagoditi novom okruženju. Prije kraja ljeta, Frida mora izaći na kraj sa svojim emocijama, a njeni novi roditelji moraju naučiti da je vole kao što vole vlastitu kćerku. Carla Simón rođena je 1986. godine u Barceloni. Nakon što je godinu dana studirala na Univerzitetu u Kaliforniji, diplomirala je audiovizuelne komunikacije na Univerzitetu Autònoma u Barceloni. Poslije sticanja diplome završava studij TV drame u sklopu kursa u organizaciji Katalonske televizije, a zatim i u Školi filma u Londonu. Njeni kratki filmovi prikazani su na brojnim festivalima. Uporedo s radom na vlastitim projektima, Simón u Barceloni drži časove filma za djecu, u okviru školskog programa Cinema en Curs. E In the summer of 1993, following the death of her parents, six-year-old Frida moves from Barcelona to the Catalan countryside to live with her aunt and uncle, who are now her legal guardians. Country life is a challenge for Frida – time passes differently in her new home and the nature that surrounds her is mysterious. She now has a little sister to take care of, and has to deal with new feelings like jealousy. Often, Frida is naively convinced that running away would be the best solution to her problems. However, the family do what they can to achieve a new, if fragile, balance, and bring normality to daily life. Occasional family outings to a local fiesta or a swimming pool, cooking or listening to jazz in the garden bring moments of happiness. Slowly, Frida realises that she is here to stay, and that she must adapt to her new environment. Before the season is over, she has to cope with her emotions and her new parents have to learn to love her as their own daughter.

Grave / Sirovo / Raw Svi članovi Justinine porodice su veterinari. I vegetarijanci. Sa 16 godina, ona je briljantna studentica koja puno obećava. Nakon što upiše školu za veterinare, Justine ulazi u dekadentan, bešćutan i opasno zavodljiv svijet. Tokom prve sedmice školovanja, u sklopu inicijacijskih rituala kroz koje sve novajlije moraju proći kako bi bili prihvaćeni u društvo, gonjena očajničkom potrebom da se uklopi bez obzira na cijenu, Justine odstupa od porodičnih principa i prvi put u životu jede sirovo meso. Nedugo nakon toga, na površinu isplivava njena prava priroda i Justine se suočava s užasnim i neočekivanim posljedicama svojih postupaka. Julia Ducournau rođena je 1983. godine u Parizu. Studirala je scenaristiku na prestižnoj pariskoj filmskoj školi La Fémis. Njen kratki film JUNIOR uvršten je 2011. godine u selekciju programa Semaine de la Critique Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, gdje je osvojio nagradu Petit Rail d’Or. Njen debitantski igrani film, SIROVO, također je premijerno prikazan u programu Semaine de la Critique, gdje su ga filmski kritičari odlično prihvatili. E Everyone in Justine’s family is a veterinarian. And a vegetarian. At 16, she’s a brilliant and promising student. When she starts at veterinary school, she enters a decadent, merciless and dangerously seductive world. During the first week of hazing rituals, desperate to fit in whatever the cost, she strays from her family principles when she eats raw meat for the first time. Justine will soon face the terrible and unexpected consequences of her actions when her true self begins to emerge.

Julia Ducournau was born in 1983 in Paris. She attended La Fémis and studied screenwriting.

Happy End / Sretan kraj SRETAN KRAJ je filmska drama o dobrostojećoj francuskoj porodici koja živi u zatvorenom buržujskom okruženju na sjeveru Francuske, nesvjesna ljudske patnje u migrantskim kampovima u lučkom gradu Calaisu, udaljenom svega nekoliko kilometara od njihovog doma. Michael Haneke rođen je 1942. u Münchenu. Na Univerzitetu u Beču studirao je filozofiju, psihologiju i teatrologiju, inače akademske discipline koje su obilježile veći dio njegovog rediteljskog opusa. Karijeru je započeo 1969. radeći kao scenarista za televiziju Südwestfunk (ARD), a 1970. godine počinje raditi kao nezavisni televizijski i pozorišni reditelj. Njegov prvi igrani film, THE SEVENT CONTINENT, prikazan je na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu, kao i na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu, gdje je osvojio nagradu Ernest Artaria. U Cannesu je osvojio nagradu Ekumenskog žirija za film CODE UNKNOWN, Veliku nagradu žirija za film THE PIANO TEACHER, nagradu FIPRESCI i nagradu za najboljeg reditelja za film CACHÉ. Osvojio je još jednu nagradu FIPRESCI i Zlatnu palmu za film THE WHITE RIBBON te Zlatnu palmu za film AMOUR, koji je, također, osvojio i nagradu Oscar Američke filmske akademije za najbolji film na stranom jeziku. E HAPPY END is a drama about a well-off French family living in a bourgeois bubble in northern France, oblivious to the human misery unfolding in migrant camps around the port town of Calais, a few kilometres from their home.

Michael Haneke was born in 1942 in Munich. At the University of Vienna, Haneke studied Philosophy, Psychology and Theatre – academic interests which have defined much of his directorial work. He began his career as a playwright for the Südwestfunk (ARD) in 1967 and started working as a freelance director for television and theatre in 1970. His first feature, THE SEVENTH CONTINENT, screened at the Cannes Film Festival and won the Ernest Artaria Award at the Festival del Film Locarno. At Cannes, Haneke won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury for CODE UNKNOWN, the Grand Prize of the Jury for THE PIANO TEACHER, the FIPRESCI Prize and Best Director award for CACHÉ, another FIPRESCI Prize and the Palme d’Or for THE WHITE RIBBON and the Palme d’Or for AMOUR, which also won the Awademy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Menashe Ljubazni Menashe radi kao prodavač u zelenari, u srcu ultrakonzervativne zajednice hasidskih Jevreja u New Yorku. Nakon smrti svoje žene Leahe, pokušava sastaviti kraj s krajem i biti dobar otac maloljetnom sinu Rievenu. U skladu s tradicijom, Menashe sina ne smije odgajati sam te uz ogromnu žalost pristaje da Rievena usvoji strogi ujak. Iako se čini da se Menashe spotiče o svaku prepreku koja mu se nađe na putu, njegov rabin mu daje priliku da s Rievenom provede sedam dana uoči Leahine komemoracije. Joshua Z Weinstein rođen je 1983. godine u New Yorku, a filmske studije završio je na Univerzitetu u Bostonu. Osim što režira vlastite filmove, Weinstein radi i kao direktor fotografije. MENASHE je njegov dugometražni igrani prvenac, a prethodno je režirao tri dokumentarna filma. E Deep in the heart of New York’s ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jewish community, Menashe, a kind grocery store clerk, struggles to make ends meet and responsibly parent his young son, Rieven, following his wife Leah’s death. Tradition prohibits Menashe from raising his son alone, so Rieven’s strict uncle adopts him, leaving Menashe heartbroken. Although Menashe seems to bungle every challenge in his path, his rabbi grants him one special week with Rieven before Leah’s memorial.

Joshua Z Weinstein was born in 1983 in New York City, and studied film at Boston University. In addition to directing his own films, he also works as a director of photography. Following three documentaries, MENASHE is his first feature-length fiction film.

Nocturama / Nokturama Jutro u Parizu. Grupa adolescenata različitih društvenih profila. Svako za sebe, započinje čudni ples kroz labirint linija podzemne željeznice i gradskih ulica. Čini se kao da se kreću prema zadatom planu. Kretnje su im precizne, gotovo opasne. Okupljaju se na istom mjestu, u robnoj kući, u vrijeme zatvaranja. Noć počinje... Bertrand Bonello rođen je 1968. godine u Nici. Njegov prvi igrani film, SOMETHING ORGANIC, prikazan je u programu Panorama Filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

Prevenge / Trudosveta TRUDOSVETA prati trudnicu Ruth na ubistvenom pohodu, jednako komičnom koliko i okrutnom. Ruthinim djelovanjem rukovodi njeno nerođeno dijete, mizantrop, koje krivi čovječanstvo za činjenicu da neće imati oca. Dijete se Ruth obraća iz maternice, instruirajući je kako da namami, a zatim i ubije svoje naivne žrtve. Rastrzana između vlastite savjesti, usamljenosti i čudnog pretporođajnog ludila, Ruth u trenutku ostvarenja majčinstva mora napraviti izbor između pokajanja i destrukcije. Alice Lowe rođena je 1977. godine u Coventryju, Velika Britanija. Diplomirala je na Kraljevskom koledžu Univerziteta Cambridge, a zatim se posvetila pozorišnoj glumi. Za film se odlučila nakon što je napisala prvi scenarij za SIGHTSEERS, u kojem je ostvarila i jednu od uloga. SIGHTSEERS je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu, a zatim je osvojio niz nagrada, uključujući nagrade za najbolju žensku ulogu i najbolji scenarij. Filmski magazin Empire proglasio ga je najboljim britanskim filmom u 2013. godini. Na svom rediteljskom prvencu, TRUDOSVETA, Lowe je radila kao scenaristica i glumica, a film je nominovan za nagradu BIFA za najbolje debitantsko rediteljsko ostvarenje. E PREVENGE follows Ruth, a pregnant woman, on a killing spree that is as funny as it is vicious. Her misanthropic unborn baby is dictating Ruth’s actions, holding society responsible for the absence of a father. The child speaks to Ruth from the womb, coaching her to lure and ultimately kill her unsuspecting victims. Struggling with her conscience, loneliness and a strange strain of prepartum madness, Ruth must ultimately choose between redemption and destruction at the moment of motherhood.

Alice Lowe was born in 1977 in Coventry, UK. She graduated from King’s College, Cambridge, and began acting for the theatre. She made her move into film with her screenwriting debut SIGHTSEERS, in which she also starred. After its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, SIGHTSEERS received several accolades, was named Empire’s Best British Film, and garnered acting and screenwriting awards.

The Rider / Jahač Mladi kauboj Brady, nekadašnja rodeo zvijezda u usponu, nakon tragične nesreće na jahanju saznaje da su njegovi takmičarski dani odbrojani. Po povratku kući, Brady se počinje pitati čemu život ako ne može raditi ono što ga ispunjava – jahati i takmičiti se. U pokušaju da povrati kontrolu nad svojim životom, Brady nastoji izgraditi novi identitet i redefinisati svoje stavove o tome kakav bi muškarac trebao biti da ga se u srcu Amerike smatra pravim muškarcem. Chloé Zhao, nagrađivana rediteljica i producentica, rođena je u Pekingu, a odrastala je u Engleskoj i Americi.

E Once a rising star of the rodeo circuit, young cowboy Brady is warned that his competition days are over after a tragic riding accident. Back home, Brady finds himself wondering what he has to live for when he can no longer do what gives him a sense of purpose: riding and competing. In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady undertakes a search for new identity and tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of the United States.

Chloé Zhao, born in Beijing and raised in the UK and the USA, is an award-winning director and producer.

The Square / Trg Christian je respektabilan kustos u jednom muzeju moderne umjetnosti. Razveden je i ima dvoje djece kojoj je u potpunosti posvećen. Christian vozi električni auto i podržava plemenite ciljeve. Trenutno radi na postavci umjetničke instalacije „Trg“, u sklopu koje slučajne prolaznike poziva na iskazivanje altruizma i podsjeća ih na njihovu ulogu odgovornih ljudskih bića. Ali ponekad je teško živjeti u skladu s vlastitim ubjeđenjima, te Christiana njegova besmislena reakcija na krađu telefona dovodi u niz sramotnih situacija. U međuvremenu, marketinška agencija koja radi za njegov muzej osmišljava neočekivanu kampanju za „Trg“. Javnost na tu kampanju reaguje pretjerano burno, što Christiana, ali i muzej, dovodi u krizu. Ruben Östlund rođen je 1974. godine na Styrsöu, malom otoku na zapadu Švedske. Studirao je grafički dizajn, a zatim upisao studij na Univerzitetu u Göteborgu. Devedesetih godina prošlog vijeka počeo je režirati skijaške filmove, da bi se, kratko nakon toga, upisao na Školu filma u Göteborgu, gdje je i diplomirao 2001. godine. Sa svojim prvim dugometražnim igranim filmom, THE GUITAR MONGOLOID, osvojio je nagradu FIPRESCI na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Moskvi, dok je za kratki film INCIDENT BY A BANK, 2011. godine dobio nagradu Zlatni medvjed na Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu i Veliku nagradu Filmskog festivala Tampere. Östlundov film FORCE MAJEURE prikazan je u programu Un Certain Regard Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, gdje je osvojio Nagradu žirija. Na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu, osvojio je prestižnu nagradu Zlatna palma za film TRG. E Christian, the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, is a divorced but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is “The Square”, an installation that invites passers-by to altruism, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But sometimes, it is difficult to live up to your own ideals: Christian’s foolish response to the theft of his phone drags him into shameful situations. Meanwhile, the museum’s PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for ”The Square”. The response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential crisis.

Ruben Östlund was born in 1974 in Styrsö, a small island on the West coast of Sweden. He studied Graphic Design before enrolling at the University of Gothenburg. He started as a director of skiing films in the 1990s, and eventually went on to study at the film school in Gothenburg, from which he graduated in 2001. THE GUITAR MONGOLOID, his first feature-length fiction film, won the FIPRESCI Prize at the Moscow International Film Festival. His short film INCIDENT BY A BANK won the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the Berlin International Film Festival and the Grand Prix at the Tampere Film Festival in 2011. Östlund’s film FORCE MAJEURE was selected to compete in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize. In 2017, his film THE SQUARE won the prestigious Palme d’Or at Cannes.

Taste of Cement / Ukus cementa / Taste of Cement Sirijski građevinski radnici grade neboder u Bejrutu dok im vlastite kuće u domovini granatiraju. Libanski građanski rat je završen, ali konflikt u Siriji i dalje traje. Radnici su zarobljeni na gradilištu, budući da im je libanska vlada zabranila kretanje nakon 7 sati navečer nametnuvši izbjeglicama policijski sat. Kontakt sa spoljnim svijetom ostvaruju samo preko otvora kroz koji se penju svakog jutra kako bi započeli novi radni dan. Odsječeni od domovine, radnici se svake večeri okupljaju oko malog TV prijemnika da bi čuli vijesti iz Sirije. Ophrvani brigom i neizvjesnošću, i uskraćeni za osnovna ljudska i radnička prava, oni nastavljaju da se nadaju drugačijem životu. Ziad Kalthoum rođen je 1981. godine u Homsu, Sirija. Svoj prvi kratki dokumentarac, OH, MY HEART, režirao je 2011, a film je prikazan na Carthage Film Festivalu. Kalthoumov prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film, THE IMMORTAL SERGEANT, prikazan je na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu 2014. i na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Fribourgu 2015. godine. Njegov film UKUS CEMENTA osvojio je nagradu za najbolji film na Festivalu dokumentarnog filma Visions du Réel, a platforma Doc Alliance ga je 2017. nominovala za Evropsku filmsku nagradu za najbolji film. E In Beirut, Syrian construction workers are building a skyscraper, while at the same time their own houses at home are being shelled. The Lebanese Civil War is over, but conflict in Syria rages on. The workers are locked in the building site. They are not allowed to leave it after 7pm, as the Lebanese government has imposed a night-time curfew on refugees. The only contact these Syrian workers have with the outside world is via the hole they climb out of each morning to begin a new day of work. Cut off from their homeland, they gather at night around a small TV set to get the news from Syria. Tormented by anguish and anxiety, while suffering the deprivation of the most basic human and workers rights, they keep hoping for a different life.

Western Grupa njemačkih građevinskih radnika započinje naporan posao na izolovanom gradilištu u bugarskoj provinciji. Život u stranoj zemlji pobuđuje njihov avanturistički duh, ali ih istovremeno suočava sa vlastitim predrasudama i manjkom povjerenja koji su posljedica kulturnih razlika i nepoznavanja lokalnog jezika. Valeska Grisebach rođena je 1968. godine u Bremenu, Njemačka. Filozofiju i germanistiku studirala je u Berlinu, Münchenu i Beču. Njen diplomski film, BE MY STAR, 2002. godine nominovan je za nagradu Adolf Grimme, a osvojio je Nagradu kritike na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu, kao i Veliku nagradu žirija Filmskog festivala u Turinu. Njen drugi dugometražni igrani film, LONGING, premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom program Filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2006. godine. Film je osvojio više nagrada, uključujući Specijalnu nagradu žirija festivala u Buenos Airesu, Veliku nagradu Asturias Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Gijonu i Specijalnu nagradu žirija Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Varšavi. E A group of German construction workers start a tough job at a remote site in the Bulgarian countryside. The foreign land awakens the men’s sense of adventure, but they are also confronted with their own prejudice and mistrust due to the language barrier and cultural differences.

Valeska Grisebach was born in 1968 in Bremen, Germany. She studied Philosophy and German Studies in Berlin, Munich and Vienna. Her graduation film BE MY STAR was nominated for the Adolf Grimme Award in 2002, and received the Critics’ Award at the Toronto International Film Festival as well as the Grand Jury Award at the Turin Film Festival.

The Work / Rad U potpunosti snimljen u jednoj prostoriji unutar zatvora Folsom, film prati tri muškarca koji su u zatvor došli izvana kako bi učestvovali u četverodnevnoj terapijskoj radionici s najozloglašenijim zatvorenicima. Tokom radionice svaki od učesnika dobija priliku da detaljno preispita vlastitu prošlost. Sirov i ogoljavajući proces kroz koji zatvorenici prolaze prevazilazi očekivanja slobodnih muškaraca, gura ih van njihove zone komfora i navodi da sebe i zatvorenike promotre u novom svjetlu. Jairus McLeary sudski je snimatelj i filmski autor. RAD je njegov prvi dokumentarni film, a snimio ga je nakon što je više godina gradio odnos sa zatvorenicima i osvajao njihovo povjerenje. Gethin Aldous režira pokretne sekvence za jednu od vodećih kompanija za proizvodnju video igrica. Nakon što je i sam boravio u Folsomu, udružio je snage s Jairusom McLearyjem. RAD je njegov drugi dugometražni dokumentarac. E Set inside a single room in Folsom Prison, THE WORK follows three men from the outside as they participate in a four-day group-therapy retreat with level-four convicts. Over the four days, each man in the room takes his turn at delving deep into his past. The raw and revealing process the incarcerated men go through exceeds the expectations of the free men, ripping them out of their comfort zones and forcing them to see themselves and the prisoners in unexpected ways.

Jairus McLeary is a court videographer and filmmaker. THE WORK is his first documentary film. He spent several years gaining the trust of the convicts in order to film them. Gethin Aldous directs motion capture for a major video-gaming company. After his own experiences at Folsom, he joined forces with Jairus McLeary. This is his second feature-length documentary.

Yi Lu Shun Feng / Sretan put / Godspeed Na Dow za transport droge koristi taksi; u istom danu taksijem ide na jug i vraća se nazad. Jednog dana nevoljko ulazi u oronuli taksi koji vozi bezbrižni i naivni Xu. Xu je na Taiwan stigao prije 20 godina i nekako odlučio da ostane. Napad članova jedne bande remeti Na Dowov plan da se promijeni i Xuov da vodi miran život. Droga i novac su nestali, a Na Dow i Xu su zarobljeni u gepeku automobila. Mong-Hong Chung rođen je 1965. godine u Ping-Tongu, Tajvan. Diplomirao je kompjuterski inžinjering na tajvanskom Državnom univerzitetu Caho Tung, a zvanje magistra filma stekao je na Institutu za umjetnost u Chicagu. Njegov prvi dugometražni igrani film, PARKING, prikazan je 2008. godine u programu Un Certain Regard Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Sa svojim drugim igranim filmom, THE FOURTH PORTRAIT, osvojio je Nagradu za najbolju režiju na Festivalu Golden Horse 2010. godine, a film je prikazan i na filmskim festivalima u Locarnu i Torontu. Njegov treći dugometražni igrani film, SOUL, također je prikazan na festivalima u Torontu, Tokiju i Busanu. GODSPEED je njegov četvrti dugometražni igrani film. E Na Dow carries out his drug-delivering routine by taking a cab south and returning in the same cab on the same day. One day he reluctantly gets into a shabby taxi driven by the carefree, innocent Xu, who came to Taiwan more than 20 years ago and somehow decided to stay. Na Dow’s plan to reform himself and Xu’s wish for a peaceful life take a wrong turn when they become the target of a mob attack. The drugs and the money are gone, and both Na Dow and Xu are held hostage in the trunk of a car.

Mong-Hong Chung was born in 1965 in Ping-Tong, Taiwan. He received his BSc in Computer Engineering from National Chao Tung University in Taiwan, and his MFA in Filmmaking from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2008, his first feature-length film PARKING was selected for the Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section. His second feature film, THE FOURTH PORTRAIT, won the Best Director Golden Horse Award in 2010, and was selected for the Festival del Film Locarno and the Toronto International Film Festival.

Uvod / Introduction

Bianca Lucas

Ovogodišnja selekcija naslova za “Evropski kratki” program Sarajevo Film Festivala predstavlja strogi odabir desetak hrabrih, kratkih filmova čiji su autori odbacili standardnu filmsku formulu u korist jedinstvenog filmskog izraza. Ovaj program obično nema određenu tematiku kojom bi se selektori rukovodili prilikom odabira filmova. Međutim, ove godine uočavaju se naznake organski nastale, suptilne tematske niti. Naime, sve odabrane filmove karakteriše određena doza brutalnosti. Mnogi od njih rasvjetljavaju različite forme nasilja koje uslovljavaju opća kretanja u našim društvima. Filmove čini brutalnim odbijanje njihovih autora da pristanu na kompromis, ali ta autorska odlučnost u svom jezgru krije nešto nevjerovatno nježno. Mora da je to odraz vremena u kojem živimo, jer teško da je postojalo bolje doba za pažljivo, iskreno preispitivanje mehanizama, izvora i posljedica nasilja ili nasilnog života. Dvanaest filmova iz sedam evropskih zemalja će se, uz filmove iz regionalnog Takmičarskog programa – kratki film, natjecati za nominaciju za nagradu Evropske filmske akademije. Program će otvoriti film MISS HOLOKAUST koji istražuje zaostavštinu jednog od najbrutalnijih činova u ljudskoj historiji. Kakav je značaj današnjeg obilježavanja te tragedije i na koji način mu pristupiti kako bi mlade generacije “usvojile” sjećanje na nju? Film HOSTEL, animirano putovanje kroz pustoš ljudske kreacije, dodatno preispituje nasilnu prirodu ikonografije kojom se čovječanstvo služi, od biblijskih simbola do simbola pop kulture. Senzualni, audiovizualni esej CONSEIL D’ETAT / DRŽAVNI SAVJET problematizira državno nasilje i državotvornu mitologiju, dok TITAN govori o začaranom krugu nasilja u kojem žrtva nema drugog izbora nego da postane zločinac. Napad

je najbolja odbrana, ili bar tako kažu. MERYEM se bavi sličnom temom: nasiljem kao vidom samoodbrane; u ženskoj izvedbi. Film prati harizmatičnu predvodnicu grupe gerilki koje se u Iraku bore protiv ISIS-a i prisiljava nas da se po ko zna koji put upitamo može li se rat zaista opravdati kao “borba za slobodu”? Ovo pitanje postaje još kompleksnije kada se odgovor na njega traži iz ženske vizure jer žene su prisiljene nositi dvostruki teret: rizikuju život za budućnost svoje zemlje, ali i za budućnost pripadnica svog pola. PASSÉE L’AUBE / NAKON SVITANJA nježan je portret nasilnog potencijala potisnutih strasti, dok je MARTIN PLEURE / MARTIN PLAČE je nabijen okrutnim osjećajem usamljenosti u doba virtualne stvarnosti. POLONEZ / POLONEZA nudi smiren i duhovit osvrt na zadovoljenje silne i očajničke potrebe za “pripadanjem” kroz usvajanje nacionalnog identiteta. ARTIFICIAL SUNSHINE / VJEŠTAČKO SUNCE problematizira kontradiktorne vizije britanskog nacionalnog identiteta, predstavljene kroz nostalgične slike i prizore različitih oblika zabave, te na taj način pruža jedinstven uvid u uzroke trenutačnog meteža na britanskoj političkoj sceni. 1000 SMILES PER HOUR / 1000 OSMIJEHA NA SAT uspijeva da uhvati suštinu nasilnog, ali istovremeno nedefinisanog ličnog gubitka. LE FRÈRE / BRAT je njegov simbolični brat blizanac – delikatni ukras filma o tugovanju i osjećaju praznine koji ostaju nakon nasilno oduzetog života. Na kraju, ali ne manje bitan, film MIN BÖRDA / TERET trešnja je na vrhu kolača napravljenog od različitih uzoraka stanja ljudskog društva. Patnja je neizbježan, brutalan dio ljudskog života, pa ipak u svemu se može naći doza humora. Ono po čemu će 2017. Biti posebna godina za nas jeste otvaranje „Kuće kratkog filma“,


specijalnog prostora u okviru SFF-a posvećenog kratkom filmu. Svi programi kratkog filma bit će održani pod jednim krovom, a isti prostor postat će utočište za sve autore iz svijeta kratkog filma, kako početnike tako i veterane. Program će obogatiti posebni prateći događaji i diskusije posvećeni kratkom filmu! Ovo je moja prva godina na mjestu selektorice programa evropskog kratkog filma i osjećam se počašćenom što mi se pružila prilika da vas upoznam s gornjim naslovima. Spoznaja da će se neki od vas možda zaljubiti u neke od ovih filmova i pohraniti ih u dubinama svojih sjećanja kako bi ih izvlačili na površinu kada vam zatrebaju moralni kompas i inspiracija, daje istinski smisao trudu uloženom u oblikovanje ovog programa. Želim da vas ovo izdanje SFF-a inspiriše i pomogne vam da otvorite srce za sve neočekivane puteve na koje vas filmovi mogu povesti.

E This year’s European Shorts section is a tight selection of no more than a dozen films, favouring bold, fresh voices over films that follow the beaten path of formula-based cinema. There is usually no theme that defines the programme, yet this year, an ever-so-subtle thread emerged organically throughout the selection process. Namely, there is a certain brutality to this collection of films. In many cases, they highlight forms of violence that dictate the movements of our societies. The films themselves are brutal in their refusal to compromise, but at the same time, something incredibly tender dwells at the core of their makers’ determination. This is surely a sign of the times; there may arguably be no better time to lend a keen, honest eye to reflect upon the mechanisms, sources, and legacies of violence, or violent existence.

Twelve films from seven European countries are competing – alongside the regional Competition – Short Film programme – to be awarded a European Film Academy nomination. MISS HOLOCAUST kicks off the programme with an exploration of the legacy of one of the most violent acts in the history of mankind. What does it mean to commemorate tragedy nowadays, and what form must such commemoration take for memory to be “consumed” by younger generations? THE HOSTEL further explores the violence of iconography, from biblical to pop-culture symbolism, in an incomparable animated journey through the wastelands of our creations. CONSEIL D’ÉTAT, a sensual, audio-visual essay, addresses the violence of the state, and of state-run mythology. Meanwhile, TITAN is an exposé of the vicious circle of violence, in which the victim has no choice but to become the aggressor. Offence is the best defence – or so they say. In the same vein is MERYEM: violence as selfdefence, women’s version. The film follows the charismatic leader of a group of female guerrillas fighting ISIS in Iraq, forcing us to ask ourselves, yet again: Can a war really be justified as “freedom-fighting”? The female perspective makes the question all the more complex – these women handle a doubly heavy burden, as they are risking their lives for the meaning of their land, and of their gender. PASSÉE L’AUBE / AFTER DAWN is a tender portrait of the violence of suppressed desire, and MARTIN PLEURE / MARTIN CRIES explodes with the violence of loneliness in this cyber-world age. POLONEZ / POLONAISE fixes a cool, humorous gaze on the violent and desperate need to “belong” through national identity. ARTIFICIAL SUNSHINE paints a portrait of confused British

identity through nostalgia and leisure – key insight into some of the causes of the UK’s current political turmoil. 1000 SMILES PER HOUR captures the essence of a violent yet undeterminable personal loss. LE FRÈRE / THE BROTHER is its symbolic neighbour – a delicate vignette of grief and absence in the wake of a life extinguished by violence. Last, but certainly not least, MIN BÖRDA / THE BURDEN places the cherry on the cake of the human condition. Suffering is an inescapable, brutal feature of human existence, and yet humour can still be found in everything. What makes 2017 a special year for short films at the Sarajevo Film Festival is the opening of our flagship venue, the House of Shorts. All short-film programmes will be united under one roof, which will also be a safe haven for all filmmakers navigating the short film form – whether they be veterans or newcomers. The programme is embellished with events and talks that will put short films on a tall pedestal! In my first year as head programmer of European Shorts, I am both honoured and humbled by the possibility of bringing these titles to you, our audience. Knowing that some of you may fall in love with some of these films, tucking them away in the pleats of your memory to serve as inspiration and moral guidance for years to come, makes it all, truly, worth the effort. I wish you an inspiring edition of SFF, and an open heart to all the many avenues down which cinema may lead you. Bianca Lucas Selektorica / Programmer

Die Herberge / Hostel / The Hostel Na mjestu na kojem se spajaju biblijski krajolici i zapadnjačka mitologija stoji kuća koja je dijelom okupljalište bajkera, a dijelom planinska farma. Kuća pruža gostoprimstvo svim bićima koji prolaze nepristupačnim predjelima. U filmu HOSTEL spajaju se prošlost i budućnost, a najdublji očaj i rekreacija međusobno se ne isključuju. Ulu Braun rođen je 1976. godine u Schongau, Njemačka. Slikarstvo i eksperimentalni film studirao je na Univerzitetu za primijenjene umjetnosti u Beču, a animaciju na Filmskom univerzitetu Babelsberg u Potsdamu.

E In a place where a biblical landscape and western myths converge, there is a house that is part biker hangout, part mountain farm. It welcomes all beings who traverse this inhospitable landscape. In THE HOSTEL, past and future merge into one place, and deepest misery and recreation are not mutually exclusive.

Polonez / Poloneza / Polonaise Grad Aleksandrów Kujawski nekad je ležao na granici između Pruskog i Ruskog carstva. Danas se svi njegovi stanovnici smatraju Poljacima i taj im je identitet toliko značajan da svake godine organizuju takmičenje u patriotizmu na kojem lokalni gradonačelnik, svećenik i pjesnikinja biraju patriotu godine. Agnieszka Elbanowska poljska je rediteljica, montažerka i fotografkinja. Talijanski jezik i književnost diplomirala je na Univerzitetu u Varšavi, a historiju, teoriju i kritiku filma na Univerzitetu Roma Tre u Rimu.

90 Grad Nord / 90 stepeni sjeverno / 90 Degrees North Tačno je: kada se na semaforu upali crveno svjetlo, dobri Nijemci čekaju zeleno. Ali šta se desi kada zeleni čovječuljak na semaforu nikako da se pojavi? U potpunosti snimljen na najopasnijem zamislivom pješačkom prelazu, 90 STEPENI SJEVERNO je izvrsna, duhovita, poučna priča koja nudi ekstreman pogled na koncept nužnosti poštivanja pravila civiliziranog društva. Detsky Graffam radio je kao reditelj i urednik za BBC, Channel 4, Nickelodeon i Comedy Central. Osvojio je više nagrada i priznanja za svoje kratke filmove PEACE OF MY MIND, HOW I LEARNED TO LOVE RICHARD GERE, SLITHER i DOWN UNDER. E It’s a fact: good Germans wait at red traffic lights. But what to do when the green man simply doesn’t appear? Taking place almost entirely on the most pernicious traffic island imaginable, 90 DEGREES NORTH is a humorous, fantastical parable offering an extreme take on the notion of following the rules of civil society.

Detsky Graffam has worked as a director and editor for the BBC, Channel 4, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central. His short films PEACE OF MY MIND, HOW I LEARNED TO LOVE RICHARD GERE, SLITHER and DOWN UNDER have won several awards. 128 23. Sarajevo Film Festival l SHORT MATTERS! Tour 2017

Čekanje na privremenom pragu se odužuje. Legende iz kolonijalne prošlosti sudaraju se s prizorima iz sadašnjosti; uspomene preživljavaju. Keina Espiñeira rođena je 1983. godine u Španiji. Zvanje magistrice režije i produkcije dokumentarnog filma stekla je pri Udruženju za dokumentarni film u Madridu.

Legends from the colonial past collide with the present time; memory survives.

Chavela Pjevačica Chavela Vargas stekla je slavu u Meksiku, a zatim postala poznata i širom svijeta, prvenstveno zahvaljujući vlastitoj interpretaciji tradicionalnih meksičkih pjesama – rancherasa. Ove pjesme mahom su komponovali muškarci, a većinom govore o neostvarenoj ljubavi, umoru od života, te o usamljenosti. Chavela ih je izvodila svojim specifičnim, istovremeno grubim i ranjivim glasom, i uz jedinstven osjećaj za ritam. Muški izgled i crveni pončo doprinosili su njenoj jedinstvenosti. U Acapulcu, koji je šezdesetih godina prošlog vijeka bio omiljena destinacija bogatih i slavnih ličnosti iz svijeta politike i kulture, Chavela se susretala sa mnogim zvijezdama, a svojim šarmom i iznimnom ljepotom privlačila je pažnju poznatih, poput Fride Kahlo i Ave Gardner. Nakon trinaestogodišnje pauze, uzrokovane ovisnošću o alkoholu, Chavela se devedesetih godina prošlog vijeka spektakularno vraća pod svjetla reflektora kao muza umjetnika i reditelja, pa i Pedra Almodóvara. Služeći se Chavelinim neobjavljenim materijalima, kao i intervjuima s njom i njenim savremenicima, kolegama i partnericama, ovaj film ocrtava topao portret harizmatične i jedinstvene umjetnice koja je tokom cijeloga života, okončanog 2012. u 93. godini, otvoreno pokazivala vlastitu homoseksualnost. Catherine Gund rođena je 1965. godine u Geelongu, Australija. Studirala je na Univerzitetu Brown gdje je stekla dvije diplome, jednu iz umjetnosti/semiotike i drugu na ženskim studijima. U svojim medijskim radovima fokusira se na strateške i održive društvene promjene, umjetnost i kulturu, HIV/AIDS i reproduktivno zdravlje, te ekologiju. Osnivačica je i direktorica produkcijske kuće Aubin Pictures. Njen film BORN TO FLY nominovan je za nagradu Emmy 2016. godine. Daresha Kyi rođena je 1962. godine u Los Angelesu, SAD. Studirala je na Tisch školi za umjetnost Univerziteta u New Yorku, a već više od 25 godina radi kao filmska producentica i rediteljica. Kyi je dio kreativnog tima produkcijske kuće Aubin Pictures. E Singer Chavela Vargas gained a name for herself, first in Mexico and later worldwide, chiefly for her interpretation of traditional rancheras. These songs were mainly composed by men, and mostly speak of unfulfilled love for women, loneliness and world-weariness. Vargas performed them with her own unique feeling for rhythm and her distinctively rough yet vulnerable voice. Her masculine appearance and red poncho made her unmistakable. In Acapulco, a playground in the 1960s for the rich and famous in the world of politics and culture, she rubbed shoulders with many celebrities, turning the heads of Frida Kahlo and Ava Gardner with her charm and striking beauty. After a thirteen-year break from performing – a result of her addiction to alcohol – she was rediscovered in the 1990s and enjoyed a glorious comeback as the muse of artists and directors like Pedro Almodóvar. The unpublished material in this film, as well as the interviews with Vargas and her contemporaries, colleagues and partners, results in an affectionate portrait of a charismatic and exceptional artist – who was openly lesbian throughout her life and up to her death in 2012 at the age of 93.

Catherine Gund was born in 1965 in Geelong, Australia. She attended Brown University and received a dual degree in Art/Semiotics and Women’s Studies. Her media work focuses on strategic and sustainable social transformation, arts and culture, HIV/AIDS and reproductive health, and the environment. She is the Founder and Director of Aubin Pictures. Her film BORN TO FLY was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2016. Daresha Kyi was born in 1962 in Los Angeles, USA.

Denk ich an Deutschland in der Nacht / Ako noću razmišljam o Njemačkoj / If I Think of Germany at Night Zahvaljujući aktivnoj muzičkoj karijeri, započetoj još devedesetih godina prošlog vijeka, protagonisti filma Ricardo Villalobos, Sonja Moonear, Ata, Move D i Roman Flügel imaju širok raspon iskustava na osnovu kojih pričaju o sebi, subkulturi i načinu na koji se ona razvijala. Romuald Karmakar rođen je 1965. godine u Wiesbadenu, Njemačka. Njegov prvi igrani film, THE DEATHMAKER, osvojio je nagradu Coppa Volpi za najboljeg glumca na Filmskom festivalu u Veneciji, kao i tri nagrade Njemačke filmske akademije. Njegovi radovi prikazivani su na vodećim međunarodnim filmskim festivalima (Venecija, Berlin, Locarno, Toronto) i predstavljani u okviru nekoliko retrospektiva (Austrijski filmski muzej; BAFICI Buenos Aires; Međunarodni filmski festival Jeonju u Južnoj Koreji; Cinéma du Réel u Parizu). Muzej moderne umjetnosti u New Yorku uvrstio je 2008. njegov film THE HIMMLER PROJECT u izbor “250 značajnih umjetničkih djela uvrštenih u muzejsku zbirku od 1980. godine”. Karmakar je 2014. osvojio nagradu Fondacije DEFA za „izvanredan doprinos njemačkoj kinematografiji“. E Active in the music business since the 1990s, Ricardo Villalobos, Sonja Moonear, Ata, Move D and Roman Flügel have a broad horizon of experience from which they speak about themselves, their subculture and its development.

Romuald Karmakar was born in 1965 in Wiesbaden, Germany. His first fiction film, THE DEATHMAKER, was awarded a Coppa Volpi for best actor at the Venice Film Festival and won three German Film Awards. Karmakar’s work has been honoured at major international film festivals in Venice, Berlin, Locarno and Toronto, and has been presented in retrospectives at the Austrian Film Museum, BAFICI in Buenos Aires, the Jeonju International Film Festival in South Korea and Cinéma du Réel in Paris. In 2008, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, selected his film THE HIMMLER PROJECT as one of 250 important works of art that have been acquired by the Museum since 1980. In 2014, he was awarded the DEFA-Foundation Award for outstanding achievement in German cinema.

Liberation Day / Dan oslobođenja Pod nježnim, ali čvrstim vodstvom nekad starog obožavatelja, a danas reditelja i kulturnog diplomate, te na iznenađenje cijelog svijeta, kultna grupa bivše Jugoslavije Laibach postala je prva strana grupa u historiji kojoj je dozvoljen nastup u izolovanoj Sjevernoj Koreji. Suočeni sa strogom ideologijom i kulturnim razlikama, članovi benda su se morali potruditi da provuku svoje pjesme kroz iglene uši cenzure prije nego što im je bilo dozvoljeno da ih izvedu za publiku koja nikada prije nije čula alternativni rock’n’roll. U međuvremenu, na granici dvije Koreje, vlasti su postavljale zvučnike preko kojih će emitovati propagandu, i odbrojavanje za rat je počelo. Uģis Olte rođen je 1981. godine, a masovne komunikacije studirao je na Latvijskom univerzitetu u Rigi. Nakon što je godinama razvijao originalne sadržaje za televiziju, te snimao reklame, video spotove i kratke filmove, snima svoj prvi dugometražni dokumentarac DOUBLE ALIENS. Slijedila su tri kratka igrana filma: THE RED SPOT, KK2678 i INSTRUMENTI – KING OF WILD THINGS. Iza sebe ima i tri dokumentarca: DOUBLE ALIENS, STUCK IN STIKINE i DAN OSLOBOĐENJA. Morten Traavik, norveški reditelj i umjetnik, stvara u velikom broju različitih umjetničkih žanrova, kao i u brojnim državama. Izbori ljepote koje je organizovao za osobe koje su nastradale od nagaznih mina, pod imenom “Miss Landmine Angola“ i „Miss Landmine Cambodia“, privukli su međunarodnu pažnju i pokrenuli diskusiju globalnih razmjera. Poznat je i po više kontroverznih projekata na kojima je sarađivao sa sjevernokorejskim umjetnicima i kulturnim zvaničnicima, kao i po tome što je ovlašteni kulturni ataše te zemlje. E Under the loving but firm guidance of an old fan-turned-director and cultural diplomat, and to the surprise of a whole world, the former Yugoslavian cult band Laibach becomes the first foreign rock group ever to perform in the fortress state of North Korea. Confronting strict ideology and cultural differences, they struggle to get the band’s songs through the needle’s eye of censorship before they can be unleashed on an audience that has never before been exposed to alternative rock’n’roll. Meanwhile, loudspeakers are being set up to blare propaganda at the border between the two Koreas, and a countdown to war is announced.

Uģis Olte was born in 1981 and studied Mass Communication at the University of Latvia in Riga. After years of developing original television formats and making commercials, music videos, and short films, DOUBLE ALIENS was his first feature-length documentary. He has also made three short fiction films: THE RED SPOT, KK2678 and INSTRUMENTI – KING OF THE WILD THINGS. His efforts in the documentary genre have resulted in three films – DOUBLE ALIENS, STUCK IN STIKINE and LIBERATION DAY. Morten Traavik is a Norwegian director and artist who works across a wide spectrum of artistic genres and international borders. His beauty pageants for landmine survivors, “Miss Landmine Angola“ and “Miss Landmine Cambodia“ made headlines and fuelled discussions around the world. He is renowned for a series of controversial collaborations with North Korean artists and cultural authorities, as well as being an authorised cultural affairs liaison for that country.

On the Road / Turneja Ellie Rowsell, Joff Oddie, Joel Amey i Theo Ellis, u ljeto 2015. godine sa svojim bendom Wolf Alice (nazvanim po istoimenoj kratkoj priči Angele Carter), kreću na turneju po Velikoj Britaniji i Irskoj kako bi promovisali svoj zavodljivi, mračno euforičan debitantski album „My Love is Cool“. Tokom turneje suočavaju se sa neočekivanom slavom. Reditelj Michael Winterbottom putuje s bendom i iz perspektive novog člana ekipe svjedoči životu muzičara na turneji: njihovoj energičnoj komunikaciji s mladom publikom i ekstatičnim trenucima na sceni, ali i stanjima potpune iscrpljenosti iza scene. Tokom turneje se, uz par neočekivanih iznenađenja, postepeno razotkrivaju i odnosi među članovima benda. Michael Winterbottom rođen je 1961. godine u Blackburnu, Velika Britanija. Diplomirao je na Oxfordu, a za rad na filmu školovao se u Bristolu i Londonu. Nakon što je karijeru započeo kao filmski montažer za televiziju Thames, režirao je dva dokumentarna filma o Ingmaru Bergmanu i nekoliko TV serija. Tri njegova filma, WELCOME TO SARAJEVO, WONDERLAND i 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE, nominovana su za nagradu Zlatna palma Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Za film IN THIS WORLD osvojio je prestižnu BAFTA filmsku nagradu (2002), te nagradu Zlatni medvjed, Nagradu za mir i Nagradu ekumenskog žirija na Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2003. godine. Winterbottom je 2006. godine za film THE ROAD TO GUANTANAMO osvojio Nagradu za najbolju režiju na Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. E In the summer of 2015, Ellie Rowsell, Joff Oddie, Joel Amey and Theo Ellis take their band Wolf Alice (which was named after a short story by Angela Carter) on tour through Great Britain and Ireland, to promote their seductive, darkly euphoric debut album ‘My Love is Cool’ – and find themselves confronted by sudden fame. Director Michael Winterbottom accompanies the band and observes the realities of life on tour from the perspective of a new member of the crew: from the energetic interplay between the band and its young audience and the moments of ecstasy on stage, to the exhaustion backstage. In time, the relationships between the travellers are also brought to light – with a few surprising turns.

Patti Cake$ Patricia Dombrowski (poznata kao “Killa P” i “Patti Cake$”) slaže rime konobarišući u zloglasnom, memljivom baru u New Jerseyju. Nastoji zaraditi dovoljno novca za lijekove svoje neotesane bake koju puno voli, te majke alkoholičarke, koja je nekad davno i sama sanjala o muzičkoj karijeri. Patti i Jheri, njen rap-partner i najbolji prijatelj, zajedno sanjaju o slavi, bogatstvu i bijegu iz prljavog Jerseyja, ali nikako da nađu producenta koji bi bio zagrijan za njihovu muziku. Ravnodušna na izrugivanje lokalnih vucibatina, Patti se neočekivano povezuje s Kopiletom Antihrista, povučenim death-metal muzičarem, koji bi joj možda i mogao pomoći da postane slavna hip-hoperka. Geremy Jasper, rođen i odrastao u Sjevernom Jerseyju, američki je pisac, reditelj i kompozitor. Korežirao je muzičke spotove za Florence and The Machine i Selenu Gomez, nominovane za MTV video muzičku nagradu. Za režiju muzičkog, plesnog i modnog spektakla “Target Kaleidoscopic Fashion Spectacular” osvojio je nagradu Zlatni lav na Međunarodnom festivalu kreativnosti Cannes Lions, a rad je uvršten u stalnu postavku Muzeja moderne umjetnosti MoMA. Njegov debitantski igrani film, PATTI CAKE$, bio je dio radionica koje Institut Sundance organizuje za režisere i scenariste. Kako i priliči vječitom zaljubljeniku u muziku, Jasper je sam komponovao originalnu muziku za film. E Patricia Dombrowski (a.k.a. “Killa P”, a.k.a. “Patti Cake$”) drafts rhymes while serving drinks at a dingy New Jersey dive bar, at the same time trying to pay off her coarse but beloved nana’s medical bills and support her hard-drinking mother, whose own musical aspirations faded long ago. Patti and her rap partner and best friend Jheri share dreams of fame, fortune and escaping Dirty Jersey for good, but they have yet to find a producer with the “fire beats” they need. Undaunted by the taunts of local goons, Patti unexpectedly gravitates to a reclusive death-metal musician named Basterd Antichrist, a newcomer who just might be able to help her achieve hip-hop superstardom.

Geremy Jasper is a writer, director and composer born and bred in North Jersey, USA. He has codirected MTV Video Music Award-nominated videos for Florence + The Machine and Selena Gomez, and his direction for the “Target Kaleidoscopic Fashion Spectacular” won a Cannes Lions Gold Lion and was inducted into the permanent collection of the Musem of Modern Art in New York’s permanent collection. His debut feature film, PATTI CAKE$, participated in the Sundance Institute’s Directors and Screenwriters Labs. A lifelong music freak, Geremy wrote the film’s original songs.

Tokyo Idols / Tokijski idoli “Idoli” su za kratko vrijeme postali fenomen u Japanu gdje se društveni život vrti oko ženskih bendova i pop muzike. Film TOKIJSKI IDOLI pruža odličan uvid u ovaj kulturni fenomen koji je rezultat društvene opsesije seksipilom mladih žena i internetskom popularnosti. Centralna ličnost u filmu je Rio, istinska pripadnica klase „tokijskih idola“, koja nas vodi na svoj put do slave. Upoznajemo i njenu „braću“: grupu sredovječnih obožavalaca koji su život posvetili tome da je prate, kako u stvarnom tako i u virtuelnom svijetu. Muškarci, poznati kao „braća“, koji su napustili plaćene poslove da bi život posvetili praćenju ženskih idola, svojevremeno su bili na marginama društva, ali njihov broj je u međuvremenu porastao i uz pomoć interneta postali su dio dominantne kulture. Ovaj fenomen oslikava rastući razdor između muškaraca i žena u hipermodernim društvima. Kyoko Miyake rođena je 1976. godine u Chibi, Japan. Studirala je historiju na Tokijskom univerzitetu, a zatim se preselila u Veliku Britaniju da bi proučavala historiju vještičarenja na Oxfordu. Njen dokumentarac BRAKELESS, nakon prikazivanja na PBS-u i BBC-u, osvojio je nagradu Peabody. S dokumentarnim filmom HACKNEY LULLABIES osvojila je nagradu Today na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2011, a njen posljednji dokumentarac, TOKIJSKI IDOLI, premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskoj konkurenciji međunarodnog dokumentarnog filma ovogodišnjeg Filmskog festivala Sundance. Miyake trenutno priprema svoj prvi dugometražni igrani film, FEMME FATALE, na kojem će sarađivati s Freddyjem Olssonom (Švedska) i Guillaumeom de Seilleom (Francuska). Projekt je ušao u izbor Cinefondation for L’Atelier Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, koja svake godine bira 15 projekata perspektivnih mladih reditelja iz svih dijelova svijeta. E “Idols” has fast become a phenomenon in Japan, as girl bands and pop music permeate Japanese life. The eye-opening TOKYO IDOLS gets at the heart of a cultural phenomenon driven by an obsession with young female sexuality and Internet popularity. This ever-growing phenomenon is examined via Rio, a bona fide Tokyo Idol, who takes us along on her journey towards fame. Now meet her “brothers”: a group of middle-aged male super-fans who devote their lives to following her – both in real life and in the virtual world. Once considered to be on the fringes of society, these “brothers”, who gave up salaried jobs to pursue their interest in female idol culture, have since become mainstream via the Internet, highlighting the growing disconnect between men and women in hypermodern societies.

Kyoko Miyake was born in 1976 in Chiba, Japan. She studied History at Tokyo University, then moved to the UK to research the History of Witchcraft at Oxford. Her film BRAKELESS won a Peabody Award after airing on PBS and the BBC. HACKNEY LULLABIES won the Berlin Today Award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2011. Her most recent documentary film, TOKYO IDOLS, premiered in the World Cinema Documentary Competition at the Sundance Film Festival. She is currently developing her first feature film, FEMME FATALE, with Freddy Olsson (Sweden) and Guillaume de Seille (France). The project has been selected by the Cinéfondation at the Cannes Film Festival.

Posvećeno: Joshua Oppenheimer / Tribute To Joshua Oppenheimer

Joshua Oppenheimer

Kada je 2001. godine prvi put posjetio Indoneziju, Joshua Oppenheimer (1974, Texas) nije znao da će tamo zateći krvavo historijsko naslijeđe o kome će snimiti proslavljene dokumentarne filmove THE ACT OF KILLING / ČIN UBIJANJA (2012) i THE LOOK OF SILENCE / POGLED TIŠINE (2014). Razlog posjete bilo je snimanje dokumentarnog videa THE GLOBALISATION TAPES (2003) o izrabljivanju radnica i radnika na plantaži palminog ulja u belgijskom vlasništvu. Da bi spriječili bunt radnika, vlasnici plantaže angažiraju paravojnu organizaciju Mladež Pancasila. Istražujući odakle Pancasila crpi svoju moć, Oppenheimer otkriva da se ona razvila iz odreda smrti koji su počinili najmasovniji zločin u historiji Indonezije: od jeseni 1965. do proljeća 1966. godine, snage generala Suharta pobile su više od milion komunista, njihovih simpatizera (stvarnih i navodnih), i pripadnika kineske etničke manjine, u političkom prevratu koji je s vlasti uklonio Sukarna, prvog predsjednika nezavisne Indonezije. Oppenheimerovi dokumentarni filmovi istražuju paradoksalno historijsko naslijeđe tog masakra. Suhartova vlast ga je prešutjela, preferirajući da kroz propagandu demonizira žrtve i komunističku/ljevičarsku politiku kao vječitu ideološku opasnost. Istodobno, iako prešućen, zločin je nastavio davati apsolutnu političku i vojnu vlast sljedbenicima suhartovske politike. Osim toga, masakr i tišina koja ga je godinama okruživala imaju i svoju međunarodnu dimenziju. Puč je bio određen dinamikom Hladnog rata. Antikomunista Suharto imao je podršku Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva i Australije. Iako ČIN UBIJANJA – u svojoj prvoj verziji – nije otkrio sve specifičnosti ovog historijskog i političkog konteksta, svejedno je bespovratno razbio šutnju o indonežanskom masakru. U fokusu filma je Anwar Kongo, jedan od počinitelja masakra 1965. godine, koji se ne usteže govoriti o svojim zlodjelima, te ih rekreira kao scene iz omiljenih filmova. Naime, u masovnim egzekucijama komunista u gradskim centrima, vojska se oslanjala na tzv. kino-gangstere – bande koje su se vrtile oko kina, gdje su preprodavali kino ulaznice. Vođa jedne takve bande, Kongo, mučio je i ubijao svoje žrtve u zgradi prekoputa svog omiljenog kina, i prisjeća se kako bi odmah nakon projekcije žurio da muči i kolje, opijen i ponesen

novim holivudskim krimićem ili filmom Elvisa Presleyja. Kritičari su isticali šokantni i nadrealni karakter scena u kojima Kongo i njegovi prijatelji rekreiraju ubistva, koristeći filmske rekvizite, kostime, mizanscenu – kao da gledamo svojevrsnu perverznu, genocidnu, snuff verziju „swediranih“ filmova iz komedije BE KIND REWIND (2008, r. Michel Gondry). Kongo brutalnost zločina pokušava uviti u celuloidni glamur, a groteskni spektakl koji dobijamo je simptom onoga što je dugo vremena bilo prešućeno i potisnuto. Dokumentarac se otud može gledati i kao svojevrsni pokušaj psihodrame u kojoj se sukobljavaju Kongovo razmetljivo uživanje u zločinu i svijest da je ipak činio zlodjela zbog kojih ga, kako i sam kaže, proganjaju sjene žrtava. Iako je kritika naglasila da se Oppenheimer u POGLEDU TIŠINE, za razliku od ČINA UBIJANJA, ne fokusira na počinitelje zločina, nego na žrtve (i njihove porodice), to nije cijela istina. Tačno je da je protagonista filma Adi, čiji je stariji brat Ramli ubijen u Suhartovom puču, ali i njegov put svejedno vodi k egzekutorima, s kojima se konfrontira pokušavajući ih suočiti sa zločinima. No, oni su ovaj put lišeni grotesknog spektakla i pokušaja psihodrame. Bez zadrške priznaju da su uživali u ubijanju i da su pili krv svojih žrtava, odbijaju pokazati bilo kakvo kajanje, te ne ostavljaju mjesta sumnji: opet bi ubijali ako bi to htjeli i imali priliku. Kongova upotreba filma da se istovremeno približi zločinima koje je počinio, ali i distancira od njih, iz perspektive POGLEDA TIŠINE nije samo groteska, nego i izuzetak koji potvrđuje pravilo: većina počinitelja genocida bahato crpi moć iz svoje krvoločne prošlosti. Iako počinjen prije pola vijeka, indonežanski masakr tako i dalje traje, kroz strah koji unosi u porodice žrtava, poput Adijevih i Ramlijevih roditelja. Upravo taj kontinuitet sistematskog političkog nasilja najviše zanima Oppenheimera, koji je svoje prve lekcije na tu temu naučio iz vlastite porodične historije: roditelji njegovog oca pobjegli su iz nacističke Njemačke, a priče o Holokaustu čuo je prije bajki o Petru Panu i Pepeljuzi. Nakon Drugog svjetskog rata pojavili su se novi oblici političkog nasilja, koji, zataškani na pravi način, mogu izgledati kao dio „normalnog“ i „prirodnog“ društvenog napretka. Kao što su već pokazale THE GLOBALISATION TAPES, iskorjenjivanje komunizma u Indoneziji,


otvorilo je put kapitalističkoj modernizaciji zemlje u kojoj je bogatstvo ostalo privilegija političke i vojne elite. Početak ČINA UBIJANJA u tom je pogledu ilustrativan: natpisi koji publiku sažeto informiraju o indonežanskom masakru, ispisuju se preko kadrova koji prikazuju neonske reklame današnje korporativne Indonezije. Kako su genocid i politocid preduvjeti savremene globalne ekonomije, odgovorna umjetnost – s filmovima poput Oppenheimerovih – mora nastaviti upozoravati na strah, nasilje i izrabljivanje koji čine njezin nepriznati temelj.   E Born in Texas in 1974, Joshua Oppenheimer first visited Indonesia in 2001, not knowing that the brutal legacy of the country’s violent recent past would be the subject of his celebrated documentaries THE ACT OF KILLING (2012) and THE LOOK OF SILENCE (2014). At the time, Oppenheimer travelled there to make a documentary about contemporary neo-imperial exploitation. That work, THE GLOBALISATION TAPES (2003), exposed the harsh treatment of workers at an oil-palm plantation in Indonesia owned by a Belgian company. The plantation owners hired members of a paramilitary group, the Pancasila Youth, to prevent the workers from protesting. While investigating why the Pancasila Youth were so powerful, Oppenheimer discovered that the organisation had grown out of the death squads that had committed the most monumental crime in Indonesia’s history: between the fall of 1965 and the spring of 1966, after a failed military coup that eventually led to the overthrow of President Sukarno, the first leader of independent Indonesia, forces under the command of General Suharto murdered more than one million Indonesian communists, their (real and alleged) supporters, and members of the ethnic Chinese minority, effectively wiping the Indonesian Communist Party off the country’s political map.

Oppenheimer’s two best-known documentaries explore the paradoxical legacy of that massacre. The Suharto regime has never acknowledged the massacre. Rather, it used propaganda to demonise the victims and to portray communist and other leftist policies as an eternal ideological threat to the stability of the Indonesian nation and its people. Although officially ignored, this crime against humanity placed absolute political and military power in the hands of

Suharto and his supporters. Besides this, the massacre and the long-lasting silence surrounding it have an international dimension: the coup was undertaken in the context of the Cold War; anti-communist Suharto was supported by the USA, the UK and Australia. Although THE ACT OF KILLING – in its full-length version – does not explicitly expose the specifics of the historic and political context of the massacre and its obfuscation, it decidedly and irreversibly broke the silence about the mass killings. The film focuses on Anwar Kongo, one of the men who participated in the massacre, who not only freely speaks about his many crimes, but also re-enacts them in the style of his favourite genre films. Oppenheimer’s documentary thus reveals another historic detail: the Indonesian military recruited the so-called “movie theatre gangsters”–as the mobs of thugs who gathered around cinemas and scalped tickets were known –to commit mass executions of communists in urban centres. The premises where Kongo tortured and killed his victims were located just across the street from his favourite movie theatre, and he recalls rushing from the screenings to get on with the job of torture and slaughter, still high on the latest Hollywood crime feature or Elvis Presley vehicle. Film critics have noted the shocking an surreal nature of the scenes in the film in which Kongo and his buddies spectacularly re-enact the murders they committed using film props, costumes and the visual stylings of established Hollywood genre flicks. Observing these re-enactments feels like watching a perverse, genocidal, snuff version of the “sweded” films from Michel Gondry’s 2008 comedy BE KIND REWIND. Kongo attempts to mask the brutality of his crimes by wrapping them in celluloid-inspired glitter, but the resulting grotesque spectacle soon becomes an obvious symptom of the long-repressed and ignored reality he refuses to face head-on. THE ACT OF KILLING can thus be described as a sort of psychodrama in which Kongo’s boastful basking in his crimes clashes with his awareness of the true nature of his actions – for which, in his own words, he is haunted by the shadows of his victims. Although film critics have pointed out that THE LOOK OF SILENCE, unlike THE ACT OF KILLING,

focuses on the massacre’s victims (and their families) rather than on the criminals, this is not the whole truth. The path taken by Adi, the main subject of THE LOOK OF SILENCE, whose elder brother Ramli perished in the Suharto-led killing spree, leads to his meeting his brother’s executioners and attempting to confront them with their crimes. But in this case, the executioners are deprived of grotesque spectacle and attempted psychodrama. They unreservedly confess that they enjoyed participating in the killings – even admitting to having drunk their victims’ blood –and refuse to show the slightest remorse, leaving no room for doubt that they would kill again if given the chance. When observed through the lens of THE LOOK OF SILENCE, Kongo’s use of cinema to get closer to, and at the same time to distance himself from his crimes is no longer just monstrous, but it also becomes an exception that proves the rule that the blood on the hands of the people who participated in the genocide is the source of their current power and influence. Although committed more than half a century ago, the Indonesian massacre lives on in the fear it instils in the families of victims, among them Adi and Ramli’s parents. This continuity of systematic political violence is the primary point of interest for Oppenheimer, who first came to be aware of such a construct from the history of his own family: his father’s parents had fled Nazi Germany, and he “heard about the Holocaust before hearing the “Cinderella” story or watching PETER PAN.” New forms of political violence emerged after World War II, and these can appear to be part of a “normal” and “natural” social order if they are methodically covered up. As THE GLOBALISATION TAPES had shown, the rooting out of communism in Indonesia opened the way to capitalist modernisation of the country, where wealth remains the privilege of political and military elites. In this sense, the opening of THE ACT OF KILLING is highly illustrative: summary information about the Indonesian massacre is placed over a shot of commercial neon signs filmed in today’s corporate-driven Indonesia. Given that genocide and politicide are a precondition of the modern global economy, responsible and necessary art such as Oppenheimer’s films must continue to warn of the fear, violence and exploitation that are its too-often unacknowledged foundation.

The Act of Killing / Čin ubijanja Kada je indonežanska vlada zbačena s vlasti vojnim pučem 1965. godine, Anwar Congo i njegovi prijatelji su od sitnih kriminalaca koji su na crno prodavali kino ulaznice promovisani u vođe odreda smrti. Pomogli su vojsci da u manje od godinu dana ubije više od milion navodnih komunista, etničkih Kineza i intelektualaca. Kao vođa jednog od najozloglašenijih odreda smrti u svome gradu, Anwar je vlastitim rukama pogubio stotine ljudi. Anwar danas uživa poštovanje kao osnivač desničarske paravojne organizacije koja je izrasla iz odreda smrti. Organizacija je toliko moćna da u svome članstvu ima državne ministre koji se rado hvale vlastitim zlodjelima – od korupcije i namještanja izbora do genocidnih radnji. Anwar i njegovi prijatelji tvrdili su da su bili inspirisani nasilnim američkim filmovima koje su gledali tokom odrastanja, pa su ih autori filma pozvali da osmisle scene o svojim iskustvima ubijanja prilagođene njihovim omiljenim filmskim žanrovima – gangsterskom filmu, vesternu i mjuziklu. Napisali su scenarij, te pred kamerom glumili sebe i svoje žrtve. E When the government of Indonesia was overthrown by the military in 1965, Anwar Congo and his friends were promoted from small-time gangsters who sold movie-theatre tickets on the black market to death-squad leaders. They helped the army kill more than one million alleged communists, ethnic Chinese, and intellectuals in under a year. As the executioner for the most notorious death squad in his city, Anwar himself killed hundreds of people with his own hands. Today, Anwar is revered as a founding father of a right-wing paramilitary organisation that grew out of the death squads. The organisation is so powerful that its leaders include government ministers, and they are happy to boast about everything from corruption and election rigging to acts of genocide. Anwar and his friends claimed to have been inspired by the violent American films they watched growing up, and so the filmmakers challenged Anwar and his friends to develop fiction scenes about their experience of the killings, adapted to their favourite genres – gangster flicks, westerns and musicals. They write the scripts. They play themselves. And they play their victims.

Posvećeno: Oliver Stone Tribute To Oliver Stone

Oliver Stone

158 23. Sarajevo Film Festival l POSVEĆENO: OLIVER STONE

Reditelj i scenarista Oliver Stone, rođen 1946. u New Yorku, autor je jednog od najdugovječnijih i najplodnijih opusa savremenog američkog filma: od prve polovine sedamdesetih do danas režirao je 20 cjelovečernjih igranih filmova, 7 dokumentaraca raznih formata, te (su)potpisao preko 30 scenarija. No, taj opus još bolje je određen pridjevima angažiran i, neodvojivo od toga, kontroverzan. Tokom skoro pola vijeka svog bavljenja filmom, Stone prevashodno slovi za politički osviještenog i kritičkog reditelja. Politika koju osuđuje u svojim filmovima prvenstveno je politika Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. On dosljedno kritizira njezinu patriotsko-nacionalističku dimenziju te administraciju i vojno-industrijski aparat koji su je sprovodili. Njegovi filmovi su, između ostalog, i svojevrstan katalog trauma koje je izazvao američki eksepcionalizam. Vijetnam, ključna trauma Amerike u drugoj polovici 20. vijeka – ujedno i osobna trauma samog Stonea koji se borio u tom ratu – nalazi se u žiži trilogije: PLATOON / VOD SMRTI (1986), BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY / ROĐEN ČETVRTOG JULA (1989) i HEAVEN AND EARTH (1993). Prva dva filma posebno su značajni jer su kritiku američke agresije u Vijetnamu učinili mainstream temom u uvjetima konzervativne ideološke dominacije u eri Ronalda Reagana. Iz današnje perspektive čini se nevjerovatno da je VOD SMRTI, koji je ekspresno postao kanonskim filmom o Vijetnamu (i osvojio četiri Oscara, među kojim i onaj za najbolji film), na snimanje čekao deset godina, a prema riječima samog reditelja, pitanje je da li bi uopće bio snimljen da za njega interes nije pokazao engleski producent John Daly. Osim toga, Stone je znao da koruptna američka politika nije odgovorna samo za Vijetnam. Malo prije VODA SMRTI, snimio je SALVADOR (1986), inspirisan svjedočanstvom reportera Richarda Boylea o izbijanju građanskog rata u El Salvadoru. Politički gledano, film je bio protest protiv vojne podrške koju je američka republikanska administracija dala Nacionalnoj gardi u borbi protiv ljevičarskog fronta Farabudno Marti. Kao što će pokazati i njegovi dokumentarci, Stone će nastaviti gajiti posebne simpatije prema ljevičarskim revolucionarnim pokretima Južne Amerike, kojima su sjeverni rođaci bili prvi i najljući ideološki protivnici. Druga Stoneova politički obojena trilogija jeste ona o američkim predsjednicima. Umjesto biografije Johna F. Kennedyja, JFK (1991) razmatra nerazjašnjene detalje njegovog atentata, nudeći tezu da Harvey Lee Oswald nije djelovao sam, da je za ubojstvo odgovoran američki vojno-

industrijski kompleks, te da su istinske činjenice orkestrirano prikrivali i ljudi koji nisu bili uključeni u atentat, niti su ga odobravali. Rijetko je koji film o historijsko-političkom događaju bio istodobno cijenjen kao umjetničko djelo, a istodobno toliko kritiziran kao faktografski neutemeljen i paranoidan. NIXON (1995), pak, iznenadio je iz drugog revizionističkog ugla: iako se od ljevičara poput Stonea mogla očekivati bespoštedna kritika jednog od najzloglasnijih američkih predsjednika, on je Richarda Nixona prikazao bezmalo kao šekspirovski tragičnu figuru čiji grijesi nisu umanjeni ali ni preuveličani. Umjesto demona, film je ponudio historijski lik upleten u niz okolnosti koje nije mogao uvijek kontrolirati. Ovaj odnos pojedinca i historijskih (ne)prilika na koje ne može utjecati inače je jedan od osnovnih Stoneovih motiva. Film o Georgeu W. Bushu, W. (2008), nije ponudio nikakav odmak od medijski već etablirane slike najnekompetentnijeg američkog predsjednika (do 2001. godine). To je vjerovatno razlog zašto i nije izazvao veću pažnju i pohvale kritičara: štaviše, oni su prigovarali da ga je trebalo režirati nekonvencionalnije i u oštrijem satiričkom registru. Neki su pritom podsjetili na NATURAL BORN KILLERS / ROĐENE UBOJICE (1994), Stoneovu istodobno drečavu i mračnu satiru na račun kapitalističkog “društva spektakla”, u kome se – kroz američku medijsku fascinaciju serijskim ubojicama – isprepliću opsjednutost celebrity kulturom i nasiljem. No je li uopće trebalo karikirati osobu koja logor Guantanamo brka sa šlagerom “Guantanamera”? Treća skupina filmova koju izdvajamo su Stoneovi dokumentarci. S vođom kubanske revolucije Fidelom Castrom snimio je tri dokumentarna filma: COMANDANTE (2003) i LOOKING FOR FIDEL (2004), koji donose izbor dijelova Stoneovog 30-satnog intervjua s Castrom, dok je CASTRO IN WINTER (2012) utemeljen na razgovoru snimljenom nakon što je diktator sišao s vlasti. Politički režimi središnje i južne Amerike stavljeni su u fokus filma SOUTH OF THE BORDER (2009), u kome politički lideri Venecuele, Brazila, Argentine, Bolivije, Paragvaja, Ekvadora i Kube govore o pogubnosti hegemonije kapitalističkog Sjevera i Međunarodnog monetarnog fonda na razvoj svojih zemalja. Imperativ pohlepe, koga je kao vrhunsku vrijednost kapitalističke Amerike slavio Gordon Gekko u filmu WALL STREET (1987), mogao je postojati jedino kroz neoimperijalnu eksploataciju nerazvijenog Juga. Hugu Chavezu, venecuelanskom predsjedniku koji je umro 2013. godine, odao je počast dokument-


arcem MI AMIGO HUGO (2014). Svi ti filmovi svjedoče o Stoneovoj ideološkoj bliskosti s ljevičarskim pokretima Južne Amerike, odnosno njihovoj kritici američkog eksepcionalizma, s kojim se reditelj najdetaljnije obračunao u dokumentarnoj TV seriji THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES (2012–2013). Najnoviji Stoneovi filmovi dodatno učvršćuju njegov status politički baždarenog autora: SNOWDEN (2016) je posveta najpoznatijem američkom i svjetskom zviždaču, dok su THE PUTIN INTERVIEWS / INTERVJU SA PUTINOM (2017) najnoviji u nizu razgovora s političkim liderima koji dovode u pitanje američku verziju globalne historije i politike. U okviru programa Posvećeno… bit će prikazani VOD SMRTI, ROĐENE UBOJICE, SNOWDEN I INTERVJU SA PUTINOM, a publika će nakon projekcija imati priliku razgovarati s rediteljem u Q&A sesijama. E Director and screenwriter Oliver Stone was born in New York City in 1946, and is one of the most prolific and longest-reigning auteurs of contemporary American cinema. Since the mid 1970s, Stone has written and co-written more than 30 screenplays, and directed 20 featurelength fiction films and seven documentaries of varying formats. His films are perhaps best described by the adjectives engaged and controversial. Over his nearly half-century-long filmmaking career, Stone has been hailed as a politically aware and socially astute director. In his work, he has been extremely critical of the national and international policies of the United States, particularly in terms of their national-patriotic dimensions, as well as of the American administrative and military-industrial complex used for their implementation. His films represent a catalogue of traumas caused by American exceptionalism. The war in Vietnam, as the most devastating American experience of the latter half of the 20th century – and Stone’s personal trauma – was at the heart of his film trilogy PLATOON (1986), BORN ON THEFOURTH OF JULY (1989) and HEAVEN & EARTH (1993).The first two films in the trilogy were particularly notable for their introduction of the criticism of US aggression towards Vietnam into the mainstream of political debate in America during a time of the conservative ideology that was dominant under President Ronald Reagan. From today’s point of view, it seems almost incredible that PLATOON, which quickly became a cult film

(and won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture), was on hold for a full decade before it could be filmed and, in the words of Stone himself, might have never been made had it not attracted the interest of British producer John Daly. Alongside this, Stone knew that corrupt American policies were responsible for far more than just the conflict in Vietnam. Shortly before PLATOON, he had made SALAVADOR (1986), a film inspired by the testimonies of real-life journalist Richard Boyle about El Salvador’s descent into civil war. Politically speaking, the film was a protest against the military support that had been provided by the Republican-controlled US administration to the Salvadoran National Guard in its fight against the leftist Farabundo Marti guerrilla movement. As his documentaries would later show, Stone has been particularly sympathetic to the left-wing revolutionary movements of Latin America, whose greatest ideological enemies were their North American cousins. Stone went on to make another politically engaged film trilogy, this one about American presidents. Rather than a biopic about John F. Kennedy, Stone’s JFK (1991) is an examination of unclear details of the president’s assassination that support the theory that Lee Harvey Oswald had not acted alone, but rather was an instrument of the American military-industrial complex, and that the truth about Kennedy’s assassination was obscured in an organised fashion by people who were neither involved in nor approved it. Besides JFK, perhaps no other film about a historic political event has been so respected as a work of art, nor so harshly criticised as paranoid and factually inaccurate. NIXON (1995) was surprising in a completely different way: although a leftist such as Oliver Stone might be expected to provide unapologetic criticism of probably the most notorious of American presidents, he portrays Richard Nixon as almost-Shakespearian tragic figure, whose sins he neither obfuscated nor overstated. Instead of portraying Nixon as a demon, the film depicts him as a figure of history caught up in events he could not always master. This relationship between individuals and the hugely consequential (mis)fortunes they cannot always control is among Stone’s favourite topics. W. (2008), his film about President George W. Bush, did not offer a new take on the dominant media narrative about the most incompetent American president (until 2001). That is probably why the film attracted neither significant attention nor critical praise; the prevailing

commentary about the film was that it should have been less conventional and more sharply satirical. Some critics recalled NATURAL BORN KILLERS (1994), Stone’s extravagant, but dark satire of the capitalist “society of the spectacle”, in which the American media’s fascination with serial killers was presented as a mix of obsession with celebrity culture and fascination with violence. But was there really any need to ridicule further a man who mixed up the Guantanamo prison with the massively popular Cuban song “Guantanamera”? The third group of Stone’s films that stand out are his documentaries. He made three documentaries about the Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro: COMANDANTE (2003) and LOOKING FOR FIDEL (2004), featuring excerpts of Stone’s 30-hour interview with Castro, and CASTRO IN WINTER (2012), based on an interview with Castro filmed after he had stepped down as President of Cuba. Political regimes of Central and South America were the focus of Stone’s SOUTH OF THE BORDER (2009), a film featuring interviews with the then-leaders of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela that takes a critical look at the devastating impact of the hegemony of North American capitalism and International Monetary Fund on the development of those countries. Greed as the imperative value of the capitalist USA, celebrated by Gordon Gekko in Stone’s WALL STREET (1987), was made possible only by the neo-imperial exploitation of underdeveloped Latin America. Stone honoured the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013, with his documentary MI AMIGO HUGO (2014). All these films testify to Stone’s ideological alignment with the leftist movements of Latin America, in particular their criticism of the American exceptionalism that Stone most harshly criticises in his documentary series THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES (2012–2013). Stone’s most recent films reconfirm his status as a politically engaged auteur: SNOWDEN (2016) is dedicated to the most famous American and global whistleblower, while THE PUTIN INTERVIEWS (2017) form another series of Stone’s interviews with political leaders who question the USA’s vision of global history and policy. The Tribute to... programme includes the screenings of NATURAL BORN KILLERS, PLATOON, THE PUTIN INTERVIEWS and SNOWDEN. All screenings will be followed by question-andanswer session with the director himself. Nebojša Jovanović

Biografija i filmografija / Biography and filmography Oliver Stone rođen je 1946. u New Yorku. Nakon što se, u sklopu vojne službe, borio u ratu u Vijetnamu, upisao je studij filma na Univerzitetu u New Yorku, gdje mu je mentor bio Martin Scorsese. Stone je svoj prvi film, SEIZURE, režirao 1974, ali popularnost je stekao tek 1986. s međunarodno proslavljenim filmom VOD SMRTI za koji je osvojio nagradu Oscar za najbolju režiju; VOD SMRTI je dobio i niz drugih nagrada, uključujući i Oscara za najbolji film. Postao je treći najgledaniji film 1986. godine i promijenio je način na koji je rat u Vijetnamu do tada prikazivan na filmu. Drugi film iz njegove vijetnamske trilogije, BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, naišao je na pozitivne reakcije publike i kritike, a Stoneu je donio drugog Oscara za najbolju režiju. Stone je svoju vijetnamsku trilogiju kompletirao 1993. filmom HEAVEN AND EARTH. Za razliku od prethodna dva filma, HEAVEN AND EARTH je rat predstavio iz perspektive jedne Vijetnamke. Stone je dobio prvi uvid u kompleksnost vlastitih ideja pišući scenarije za filmove drugih reditelja. Sa scenarijem za film MIDNIGHT EXPRESS osvojio je nagradu Oscar za najbolji prilagođeni scenarij 1978. godine. Također je napisao scenarije za filmove SCARFACE, YEAR OF THE DRAGON i CONAN THE BARBARIAN. Autor je i više dokumentaraca, uključujući tri filma o Fidelu Castru, COMANDANTE, LOOKING FOR FIDEL i CASTRO IN WINTER; i filma o velikim društvenim promjenama u Južnoj Americi, SOUTH OF THE BORDER, u kojem je značajnu pažnju posvetio Hugi Chavezu i šestorici drugih južnoameričkih predsjednika. Također je autor filma o izraelsko-palestinskom sukobu PERSONA NON GRATA. Stoneova serija filmova na temu kriminala, pored filma ROĐENI UBOJICE, uključuje i crnohumorne naslove U TURN i SAVAGES. Godine 2017, Stone je snimio dokumentarnu TV seriju INTERVJUI SA PUTINOM.

E Oliver Stone was born in 1946 in New York City. After serving in the Vietnam War, he went to New York University to study Film under Martin Scorsese. In 1974, Stone directed his first feature film, SEIZURE. He had his directorial breakthrough in 1986 with the internationally acclaimed PLATOON. The film won him his first Best Director Academy Award (as well as a slew of other awards, including the Oscar for Best Picture) and become the third-highest grossing film of 1986, as it redefined the way in which the Vietnam War was portrayed on film. The second installment of his Vietnam trilogy, BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, received enthusiastic acclaim and a second Best Director Oscar for Stone. In 1993, Stone completed his Vietnam trilogy with HEAVEN AND EARTH. Unlike the trilogy’s previous installments, HEAVEN AND EARTH looked at the war through the eyes of a Vietnamese woman. His screenplays, written though not directed by Stone, gave him an early taste of the difficulty of his ideas. In 1978, MIDNIGHT EXPRESS won him an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. He also wrote SCARFACE, YEAR OF THE DRAGON and CONAN THE BARBARIAN. His documentaries include three on Fidel Castro: COMANDANTE, LOOKING FOR FIDEL and CASTRO IN WINTER; one on South America: SOUTH OF THE BORDER, prominently featuring Hugo Chavez and six other presidents in a continent undergoing huge social changes. He also made PERSONA NON GRATA, on Israel-Palestine relations. In a series of crime-related films, Stone has, in addition to NATURAL BORN KILLERS, made U TURN and SAVAGES, both dark in tone and humour. In 2017, he made a series of TV documentaries THE PUTIN INTERVIEW.

Natural Born Killers / Rođeni ubojice Mickey i Mallory Knox su autsajderi, bračni par ujedinjen tragičnom prošlošću. Također su i par hladnokrvnih ubica koji putuju Amerikom i brutalno ubijajaju svakoga ko im se nađe na putu. Kako tabloidi uzbuđeno prate njihove „podvige“, Mickey i Mallory ne htijući postaju medijske zvijezde, a javnost ih neočekivano počinje doživljavati kao heroje. E Mickey and Mallory Knox are two outsiders, a husband-and-wife duo drawn together by their traumatic pasts. They’re also cold-blooded serial killers, rampaging across America on a terrifying spree of merciless slaughter. As a tabloid journalist hungrily records their exploits, Mickey and Mallory inadvertently find themselves media darlings, as the public elevates them to the position of underdog heroes.

Platoon / Vod smrti Chris Taylor je mladi i naivni Amerikanac koji, ubrzo po dolasku u Vijetnam, shvata da se ne mora boriti samo protiv Vijetkonga već i protiv konstantnog straha, fizičkog umora i sve jačeg osjećaja bijesa. Dok njegova dva zapovjednika vode dva odvojena rata, jedan međusobni i drugi u kojem se zajedno bore protiv neprijatelja, Taylor je opsjednut ratom, haosom i mržnjom, gubeći osjećaj za realnost i poštovanje za najveću ljudsku vrijednost – život. E Chris Taylor is a young, naive American who, upon his arrival in Vietnam, quickly discovers that he must do battle not only with the Viet Cong, but also with the gnawing fear, physical exhaustion and intense anger growing within him. While his two commanding officers draw a fine line between the war they wage against the enemy and the one they fight with each other, the conflict, chaos and hatred permeate Taylor, suffocating his realities and numbing his feelings to man’s highest value – life.

The Putin Interviews / Intervju sa Putinom Višestrukom oskarovcu Oliveru Stoneu pružena je jedinstvena prilika da tokom dvije godine obavi više od deset intervjua s ruskim predsjednikom Vladimirom Putinom, uz mogućnost da mu postavlja pitanja po vlastitom izboru. Ovaj izuzetni četverodijelni dokumentarac pruža dubok uvid u Putinov lični i profesionalni život, a vremenski i tematski se dotiče Putinovog odrastanja u doba komunizma, njegovog uspona na vlast, odnosa sa četiri američka predsjednika i njegovih iznenađujućih stavova o trenutnim američko-ruskim odnosima. Film je zasnovan na najintimnijim intervjuima koja je Putin ikada dao nekom autoru sa Zapada. E Academy Award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone was granted unprecedented access to Russian president Vladimir Putin during more than a dozen interviews over two years, with no topic off limits. This remarkable four-part documentary series provides intimate insight into Putin’s personal and professional lives, from his childhood under communism, to his rise to power, his relations with four U.S. presidents, and his surprising takes on U.S.-Russian relations today. Witness the most detailed portrait of Putin ever granted to a Western interviewer.

Snowden “Vlasti rade neke stvari koje su potpuno pogrešne.” Edward Snowden je savjestan čovjek i kao takav ovaj mladi patriota je i obavljao posao kompjuterskog programera za više američkih obavještajnih službi. Zahvaljujući svom poslu, dobio je uvid u sve razgranatije, uključujući i ilegalne, tehnike koje američka obavještajna zajednica primjenjuje za nadzor građana. Duboko razočaran, tada dvadesetdevetogodišnji Snowden, donosi odluku da promijeni svoj život: u junu 2013. sastaje se s novinarom Guardiana Glennom Greenwaldom i filmskom rediteljicom i producenticom Laurom Poitras te ih upućuje u strogo povjerljive obavještajne podatke kako bi o njima izvijestili svjetsku javnost. Oliver Stone svoj napeti i razotkrivajući dokumentarac o Snowdenu opisuje kao biografiju modernog heroja. E “There‘s something going on inside the government that‘s really wrong.“ Edward Snowden is a conscientious man – and it was as such that the young patriot carried out his work as a computer expert for various American secret services. Being in this position, he gained insight into the increasingly comprehensive, not to mention illegal, surveillance techniques employed by the USA. Deeply disappointed, Snowden made the decision to change his life: in June, 2013, the 29-year-old met Guardian journalist Glen Greenwald and filmmaker Laura Poitras and presented them with strictly confidential secret service documents in order for them to enlighten the global public. Director Oliver Stone presents this nail-biting disclosure story as a biopic about a modern-day hero.

Auf Augenhöhe / U visini očiju / At Eye Level Jedanaestogodišnji Michi od smrti majke živi u sirotištu. Oca nikada nije upoznao, ali nakon što pronađe izgubljena pisma svoje majke, donosi čvrstu odluku da pronađe „Toma“. Internet pretraga dovodi Michija na očev prag, gdje neko vrijeme čeka, a zatim ostavlja poruku. Nakon što mu jedan od komšija kaže da Tom u to doba dana obično ide na veslanje, Michi odlazi do rijeke, ali uzbuđenje koje je osjećao, ubrzo prerasta u šok nakon što shvati da je Tom visok poput njega i nikako ne odgovara slici oca koju je zamislio. Michi brže-bolje trči do Tomovog doma kako bi uzeo poruku koju mu je ostavio, ali otkriva da je zakasnio. Michi izbjegava pitanja prijatelja i nada se da Tom neće pokušati stupiti u kontakt s njim. Međutim, kada Tom ipak dođe da ga potraži, njihovi će se životi neočekivano promijeniti. Evi Goldbrunner (1975) i Joachim Dollhopf (1971) diplomirali su na Odsjeku za scenaristiku, dramaturgiju i filmsku režiju na Filmskom univerzitetu Babelsberg. Njihovi zajednički studentski filmovi prikazani su na preko 200 festivala u više od 50 zemalja svijeta, uključujući festivale u Berlinu i Cannesu. Za svoj scenaristički i rediteljski rad dobili su više od 20 nagrada, uključujući Cinema for Peace Talent nagradu, Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau filmsku nagradu i najprestižniju njemačku nagradu za mlade filmske autore First Steps. U VISINI OČIJU njihov je debitantski dugometražni igrani film. E Eleven-year-old Michi has been living in a group home since the death of his mother. He has never known his father, but becomes determined to locate “Tom” after discovering a long-lost letter written by his mother. An online search leads Michi to his father’s doorstep, where he waits for a while before leaving a note. A neighbour tells Michi that Tom is usually rowing at that time of day, so Michi makes his way to the water’s edge — where his excitement is displaced by shock when he sees that Tom is the same height as he is, and the vision of his father he had constructed is shattered. He races back to Tom’s apartment to retrieve his note, but it’s too late. Michi avoids questions from his friends and hopes Tom won’t get in touch. When Tom does show up, both of their lives change in unexpected ways.

Evi Goldbrunner was born in 1975, and Joachim Dollhopf was born in 1971. Both are graduates of the Film University Babelsberg, where they studied Scriptwriting, Dramaturgy and Film Directing. Their co-directed student films have been shown at 200 festivals in 50 countries worldwide, among others at the Berlinale and the Cannes Film Festival. Their work as directors and writers has received more than 20 awards, among them the Cinema for Peace Talent Award, the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Filmpreis and the most prestigious young talent award of Germany’s film industry, the First Steps Award. AT EYE LEVEL is their debut feature-length film.

Gråtass - Gøy på landet! / Mali traktor Fergi / Little Grey Fergie – Country Fun! Na prvi pogled, Fergi je poput ostalih seoskih sivih traktora. Čini nam se da se uopće ne razlikuje od ostale legendarne “braće“, čuvene loze Ferguson traktora. Ipak, Fergi je veoma poseban. Vjerovali ili ne, on ima srce, toplo srce koje kuca za njegove prijatelje. Učinit će sve da pomogne svom drugaru, dječaku Gavinu, pa tako jednog dana zajedno kreću u misiju spašavanja malog jagnjeta kojeg su lopovi htjeli da ukradu... Peder Hamdahl Næss filmski je, pozorišni i TV pisac, reditelj i producent. Prve uloge odigrao je u dobi od 12 godina kada je nastupio u Novom teatru u Oslu i igrao u filmu ON THE TRESHOLD, nagrađenom nagradom Amanda. Nakon što je 1997. diplomirao na Londonskoj školi filma, Næss je kao scenarista radio na seriji „Second Avenue“ za program javne televizije SVT i kao producent za razvoj dramskih projekata za kompaniju Nordisk Film. Nakon što je režirao nevjerovatnih 69 epizoda serije „Hotel Cæsar“, Næss režira svoj dugometražni igrani prvenac LITTLE GREY FERGIE – COUNTRY FUN! E At first sight, Fergie does not appear to be much different to all other grey tractors in the village, nor any different than the legendary “brothers” of the famous Ferguson tractor family. But Fergie is special. Believe it or not, he has a heart – a warm heart that beats for his friends. He is willing to do anything he can to help his little friend Gavin, so one day the two of them embark on a mission to save a little lamb that thieves tried to steal.

Peder Hamdahl Næss is a writer, director and producer of film, television and theatre.

Košarkar naj bo / Nek bude košarkaš / Let Him Be a Basketball Player Ranta je toliko visok da žirafama može vezati kravate i tako mršav da skoro je providan. Jede sve što se stavi pred njega, uključujući i tanjir na kojem je servirana hrana. Toliko je lijen da njegov krevet uvečer dolazi njemu, inače bi zaspao na nogama.

E Ranta is so tall he can put neckties on giraffes and so thin he is translucent. He eats everything he sees, including the plate it is served on, and he is so lazy his bed has to come to him in the evening on its own, otherwise he’d fall asleep standing up. When the gym teacher at his school notices his talent for playing basketball, Ranta’s world is turned upside down.

Boris Petkovič was born in 1971 in Zenica, Bosnia. He graduated in Koper from the Faculty for Navy Navigation and from EICAR film school in Paris in 2015, where he stayed on to teach.

MeesterSpion / Gospodin špijun / Master Spy Timovi roditelji otvaraju hotel na obali. Njihovi snovi su se ostvarili, ali Tima to pretjerano ne oduševljava. Prisiljen je da se seli, krene u novu školu i, ako bude imao sreće, upozna nove prijatelje. Međutim, Tim ubrzo u podrumu pronalazi smrznutog muškarca. Nakon što muškarac dođe sebi, ispostavit će se da je riječ o špijunu koji je na tom mjestu prije trideset godina učestvovao u nevjerovatnoj avanturi. Dok zajedno pokušavaju saznati šta se tačno dogodilo prije tri decenije, misterije se nastavljaju gomilati.

E Tim’s parents start a hotel business on the coast. Their dream comes true, but Tim is less excited. Moving, a new school, new friends (hopefully): he is not sure what to expect. Then he discovers a frozen man in the basement. When the man thaws out, it turns out he is a spy who had a thrilling adventure there 30 years ago. Together, Tim and the spy try to find out what happened back then, while new mysteries keep piling up.

Piata loď / Mala luka / Little Harbour MALA LUKA priča je o djeci koja se na ulici osjećaju sigurnije nego kod kuće, djeci koja tragaju za izdržljivim malim čamcima koji putnike prevoze između svijeta fantazije i okrutnog, stvarnog svijeta. Jarka je jedno od te djece. Ona ima deset godina, živi sa majkom koja još nije spremna za majčinstvo, pa većinu vremena provodi sama. Vođena potrebom za ljubavlju i funkcionalnom porodicom, Jarka na sebe preuzima ulogu zamjenske „majke“ dvjema malim bebama. Iveta Grófová rođena je 1980. godine u Trenčínu, Slovačka. Doktorirala je na Akademiji za scenske umjetnosti u Bratislavi. Njen prvi dugometražni igrani film MADE IN ASH bio je slovački kandidat za nagradu Oscar Američke filmske akademije, a prikazan je na brojnim festivalima, uključujući festivale u Cottbusu i Torinu. S filmom MALA LUKA osvojila je prvu nagradu žirija dječijeg programa Kristalni medvjed, u selekciji Generation Kplus Filmskog festivala u Berlinu. E LITTLE HARBOUR is a story about children who feel safer on the streets than at home; about children seeking out sturdy liferafts that cross between the world of fantasy and the harsh realities of life. Jarka is one of these children. Ten years old, living with a mother who is not yet ready to be a mum, Jarka spends most of her time alone. Driven by her desire for love and to form a fully functional family, she finds herself a substitute “mother” to two babies.

Iveta Grófová was born in 1980 in Trenčín, Slovakia, and obtained a PhD from the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. MADE IN ASH, her 2012 feature-length debut film, was the Slovakian nominee for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards, and was presented in and won awards at numerous festivals, including the FilmFestival Cottbus and the Torino Film Festival. Her film LITTLE HARBOUR received the Crystal Bear for the Best Film of the Children’s Jury in the Generation Kplus section at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Red Dog: True Blue / Crveni pas: prava plava Kada jedanaestogodišnjeg Micka pošalju na djedovu farmu u izolovanu regiju Pilbara u Zapadnoj Australiji, Mick je spreman na dosadan i naporan život koji ga tamo očekuje. Umjesto toga, on pronalazi mitove, avanture i prijateljstvo s jedinstvenim, olinjalim psom koji će mu zauvijek promijeniti život. Kriv Stenders rođen je 1964. godine u Brisbaneu, Australija, i jedan je od najcjenjenijih australskih reditelja. Diplomirao je na Australskoj školi za film, televiziju i radio u Sydneyu 1989, a nakon toga je režirao brojne dokumentarne, kratke i igrane filmove, kao i video spotove i TV serije. Njegov igrani film RED DOG prikazan je u programu Generation Filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2011. godine i ostvario je ogroman uspjeh na kino blagajnama. E When 11-year-old Mick is shipped off to his grandfather’s cattle station in the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia, he prepares himself for a life of dull hardship, but instead finds myth, adventure, and a friendship with a scrappy, one-of-a-kind dog that will change his life forever.

Kriv Stenders was born in 1964 in Brisbane, Australia, and is one of Australia’s most renowned film directors. He graduated from the Australian Film Television and Radio School in Sydney in 1989, and since then has directed numerous documentaries, shorts and feature films, as well as music videos and television series.

Upp i det blå / Gore na nebu / Up in the Sky Osmogodišnja Pottan sprema se za odlazak na ljetni kamp, ali greškom završava u centru za reciklažu otpada s nekim zaista čudnim likovima. Oni nerado preuzimaju brigu o Pottan koja ubrzo otkriva njihovu tajnu. Sakriveni iza visoke ograde, oni grade vlastitu svemirsku raketu… Nakon niza komičnih trenutaka, neočekivanih prijateljstava i avantura, Pottan postaje prva osmogodišnjakinja u svemiru. Petter Lennstrand rođen je 1970. godine u Štokholmu. Devedesetih godina prošlog vijeka, završio je obuku za posao lutkara kod osnivača švedskog pozorišta Marionetteatern Michaela Meschkea. Autor je niza popularnih dječijih programa. Na početku, uglavnom je radio s lutkama, ali je naknadno razvio vlastiti stil koji podrazumijeva istovremeni rad sa živim glumcima i lutkama. Lennstrand je 2009. osvojio nagradu Heffaklum koju dodjeljuju novine Expressen. Nagrada se, inače, dodjeljuje autorima najboljih knjiga za djecu, a Lennstrand je bio prvi koji ju je dobio za TV seriju. E Eight-year-old Pottan is off to summer camp, but by mistake she ends up at a recycling centre with some really peculiar characters. Reluctantly, they take care of Pottan, who soon discovers their secret. Behind a tall fence, they are working on a homemade space rocket… Comedy, adventure and unexpected friendships await, as Pottan becomes the first eight-year-old in space.

Petter Lennstrand was born in 1970 in Stockholm. In the 1990s, he trained as a puppeteer with Swedish Marionetteatern founder Michael Meschke. He has created a number of popular television shows for children. Initially working mostly with puppets, he has since developed his own technique which blends human actors and puppets. In 2009, he won the “Expressen” newspaper’s Heffaklump prize, a children’s culture award originally intended for children’s book creators, which was in this case bestowed for the first time on a television series.

Wendy Dvanaestogodišnja Wendy ni najmanje nije oduševljena kada njeni roditelji odluče da čitav ljetni odmor provedu na Rosenborgu, oronuloj farmi konja u vlasništvu njene bake Herte. Svojevremeno uspješna i strastvena jahačica, Wendy se nakon ozbiljne nesreće na jahanju nikad više nije popela na konja. Ali čim stigne na farmu, upoznaje povrijeđenog konja Dixija koji je lokalnom mesaru Röttgersu pobjegao ispod noža. Između ovo dvoje usamljenika razvija se prijateljstvo koje ne samo da će zauvijek promijeniti Wendyn život već bi moglo spasiti Rosenborg od prodaje.

But once she arrives at Rosenborg, she crosses ways with the wounded horse Dixie, who escaped from the butcher Röttgers. Between the two loners a friendship begins to bloom – one that will not only change Wendy’s life forever, but could also save Rosenborg from being sold.

Ježeva kuća / Hedgehog’s Home Jež živi duboko u šumi, okružen kamenjem prekrivenim mahovinom, žarko crvenim jagodama, gljivama i raskošnim grmljem. Jedne noći ga lukava lija, pohlepni medvjed, zli vuk i blatnjavi vepar čekaju u zasjedi. Nemajući pametnija posla, oni se izruguju ježevom skromnom domu.

But one night, the sly fox, the greedy bear, the wicked wolf and the muddy wild boar are lying in wait for him. They have nothing better to do than make fun of the hedgehog’s little home. Narrated in rhyme, this charming adaptation is based on a fable by Yugoslav author Branko Ćopić.

Allein gegen die Zeit – Der Film / U borbi protiv vremena / Time Heroes Kada berlinski učenici Ben, Jonas, Leo, Özzi i Sophie krenu na školski izlet u Hildesheim da posjete katedralu i posmatraju pomračenje sunca, ni ne slute da će se naizgled dosadno putovanje pretvoriti u opasnu i uzbudljivu borbu protiv tajne sekte koja želi pokoriti svijet. Christian Theede rođen je 1972. godine u Flensburgu, Njemačka. Studirao je književnost i pozorišne umjetnosti na Univerzitetu u Tübingenu, a zatim filmsku i TV režiju u Dortmundu i Kölnu. Iza sebe ima više uspješnih humorističkih projekata, muzičkih spotova, TV filmova i serija, a aktivno se bavi i pisanjem. Autor je dva dugometražna igrana filma IM WEISSEN RÖSSL – WEHE DU SINGST! i U BORBI PROTIV VREMENA. E When Berlin schoolchildren Ben, Jonas, Leo, Özzi and Sophie set off on a class trip to Hildesheim to visit the cathedral and witness an impending eclipse of the Sun, they have no idea that this seemingly boring excursion is going to become a dangerous, action-packed battle against a secret sect that is looking to take over the world.

Christian Theede was born in 1972 in Flensburg, Germany. He studied Literature and Theatre in Tübingen before taking up studies in Film and Television in Dortmund and Cologne. Also active as a writer, his film work includes various successful comedy formats, music videos, TV movies, series and the features IM WEISSEN RÖSSL – WEHE DU SINGST! and TIME HEROES.

Amelie rennt / Čudo na planini – neočekivano prijateljstvo / Mountain Miracle – An Unexpected Friendship Tvrdoglava Amelie je kraljica psovki. Psuje roditelje, snishodljive doktore, a više od svega psuje svoju prokletu astmu. Prilikom prisilnog boravka u specijalnoj klinici u Južnom Tirolu, Amelie iznenada odluči pobjeći. Tokom napornog uspona uz planinu, pridružuje joj se nepoželjan saputnik. Osim što mora skupiti hrabrost da savlada izazove na koje nailazi, Amelie je prisiljena suočiti se i s neodoljivim zovom prve ljubavi. Tobias Wiemann rođen je 1981. godine u Greifswaldu, Njemačka. Nakon što je završio medijski dizajn, radio je kao snimatelj, montažer i reditelj, te producirao kratke filmove. Dugometražni igrani film GROßSTADTKLEIN režirao je po vlastitom scenariju. Film VON EINEM, DER AUSZOG, DAS FÜRCHTEN ZU LERNEN, na kojem je radio kao producent, bio je najuspješnija TV bajka 2015. godine. ČUDO NA PLANINI – NEOČEKIVANO PRIJATELJSTVO njegov je drugi dugometražni igrani film. E Headstrong Amelie is the queen of cursing – at her parents, her patronising doctors and her damned asthma above all else. During a forced stay in a special clinic in South Tyrol, she suddenly decides to run away. During the arduous trek up the mountain, Amelie not only gains an unsolicited travelling companion, she is also confronted by risky trials of courage and the overwhelming tingle of first love.

He is the writer and director of the feature film GROßSTADTKLEIN. His production VON EINEM, DER AUSZOG, DAS FÜRCHTEN ZU LERNEN was the most successful television fairy tale of 2015.

Jordgubbslandet / Dani jagoda / Strawberry Days Petnaestogodišnji Wojtek sa roditeljima putuje iz Poljske u Švedsku kako bi radio kao berač jagoda na jednoj farmi. Uprkos svemu, Wojtek i farmerova kći uspostavljaju čvrstu vezu. Spoljni svijet tu vezu nikad neće prihvatiti, a dvoje mladih će se naći na suprotstavljenim stranama nakon što tenzije između Šveđana i gostujućih radnika prerastu u nasilan konflikt. Wiktor Ericsson rođen je 1973. godine u Malmöu, Švedska. Studirao je pozorišnu i filmsku umjetnost na Akademiji dramskih umjetnosti u Štokholmu. U periodu od 2010. do 2011, radio je kao glavni scenarista i koautor na televizijskim serijama STARKE MAN i HALVVÄGS TILL HIMLEN. Njegov prvi dugometražni biografski dokumentarac, THE SARNOS: A LIFE IN DIRTY MOVIES, o reditelju seksploatacijskih filmova Joeu Sarnou, ponudio je iznenađujući portret filmskog autora inspirisanog Ingmarom Bergmanom. DANI JAGODA je Ericssonov prvi dugometražni igrani film. E Fifteen-year-old Wojtek travels to Sweden from Poland with his parents to work on a farm picking strawberries. Against all odds, he forms a connection with the farmer’s daughter. The outside world will never accept this relationship, and the youngsters find themselves trapped on opposite sides when the simmering conflict between Swedes and guest workers erupts in violent confrontation.

Wiktor Ericsson was born in 1973 in Malmö, Sweden. He studied Theatre and Film at the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts. In 2010-11, he was head writer and co-creator of the television series “Starke man” and “Halvvägs till himlen”. THE SARNOS: A LIFE IN DIRTY MOVIES, Ericsson’s featurelength bio-documentary of sexploitation director Joe Sarno, is a surprising portrait of a filmmaker who took inspiration from Ingmar Bergman. STRAWBERRY DAYS is Ericsson’s first feature film.

Mindenki / Pjevaj / Sing Zsofi se tek upisala u novu školu i teško se uklapa u društvo. Pjevanje u proslavljenom školskom horu njena je jedina utjeha, ali ispostavit će se da voditeljica hora nije inspirativna nastavnica kakvom je svi smatraju. Zsofi i njena nova prijateljica Liza otkrit će okrutnu istinu. Zasnovan na stvarnom događaju, film PJEVAJ govori o nagrađivanom školskom horu i novoj učenici koja je stavljena pred težak izbor između suprotstavljanja korumpiranom sistemu i njegovog prešutnog prihvatanja. Kristof Deák rođen je 1982. godine u Budimpešti. Karijeru na filmu počeo je kao montažer prije nego što je upisao studij režije na Školi filma Westminister. PJEVAJ je njegov najpoznatiji film s kojim je osvojio niz pohvala i nagrada, uključujući i nagradu Oscar za najbolji kratki film 2017. godine. E Zsofi is struggling to fit in at her new school – singing in the school’s famous choir is her only consolation, but the choir director may not be the inspirational teacher everyone thinks she is. It will take Zsofi and her new friend Liza to uncover the cruel truth. Based on a true story, SING follows an award-winning school choir and the new girl in class facing a tough choice: to stand up against a corrupt system – or to fit quietly into it.

Kristof Deák was born in 1982 in Budapest. He started his career in editing before studying directing at Westminster Film School. He is best known for his work on SING, which earned him critical acclaim and recognition, including the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film at the 2017 Academy Awards.

Emotivno ranjena, Julija očajnički nastoji obnoviti vezu sa nekadašnjom najboljom prijateljicom Anom, ali Ana se zaljubila i Julija više nije centar njenog svijeta. Anina rastuća odbojnost produbljuje Julijine rane i oživljava njena sjećanja na porodičnu dramu, te budi čudovišno nasilje za koje je Julija vjerovala da ga je ostavila iza sebe.

Emotionally scarred, Julija is desperate to reconnect with her best friend Ana. But Ana is in love with a boy and Julija is no longer a priority. Ana’s mounting rejection reignites Julija’s wounds and family history, awakening the monster of violence she thought she had left behind.

Dan ljudskih prava / Human Rights Day 2017

198 Die gĂśttliche Ordnung / BoĹžanski poredak / The Divine Order, Petra Volpe


Ženska prava danas: nazadovanje, stagnacija ili progres? / Women’s rights today: regression, stagnation or progress? Iako je većina žena širom svijeta ostvarila pravo glasa do kraja pedesetih godina prošlog vijeka (neke čak i decenijama ranije), ženama u Švicarskoj ovo je pravo dato tek dvije decenije kasnije, ranih sedamdesetih. Dok su žene u drugim zemljama slobodno i ravnopravno učestvovale u društvenom, ekonomskom i političkom životu, pa čak i služile kao premijerke (Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir i dr.), u Švicarskoj, u samom srcu Evrope, ne samo da nije bilo političarki već nije bilo ni glasačica. Razlog tome ležao je u činjenici da svaka promjena švicarskog ustava mora biti odobrena na referendumu, te su tako prava švicarskih žena zavisila od onih koji su imali pravo glasa na referendumu održanom 7. februara 1971. godine – muškaraca. Svjesne da je većina švicarskih muškaraca (67%) odbacila promjenu izbornih pravila na referendumu održanom 1959, tamošnje su se žene mobilizirale i započele organizovanu borbu za pravo glasa u svim kantonima, gradovima i selima ove države.

kada je Saudijska Arabija postala posljednja zemlja na svijetu (osim Vatikana) koja je ženama dala pravo glasa.

Film rediteljice Petre Volpe, BOŽANSKI POREDAK, govori o toj izuzetnoj, dugotrajnoj borbi kroz priču protagonistice Nore, naizgled obične domaćice iz jednog zabačenog švicarskog sela, koja uprkos preprekama i negativnim reakcijama postaje neustrašiva predvodnica borbe za žensko pravo glasa. Volpe u svome filmu istovremeno oslikava konzervativno, patrijarhalno švicarsko društvo i novorođeni emancipacijski ženski pokret aktivan u svim dijelovima zemlje – od najvećeg grada do najmanjeg alpskog sela – čije se članice bore za solidarnost, promjene i jednakost. Nevjerovatno, ali ista ta borba vođena je širom svijeta sve do 2015. godine

U kojoj mjeri su prava žena generalno zaštićena i unaprijeđena tokom proteklih decenija? Koja su ključna pitanja sa kojima se pokreti za žensku ravnopravnost danas suočavaju? Da li smo u SKORIJEM PERIODU svjedoci unapređenja, stagnacije ili čak smanjenja ženskih prava, naročito kada je riječ o pravu na reproduktivnu zaštitu i abortus? Koji je pravi značaj globalnog protestnog ženskog marša održanog u januaru ove godine? Ovo su samo neka od pitanja o kojima želimo razgovarati i na koja želimo potražiti odgovore tokom panel diskusije u okviru Dana ljudskih prava ovogodišnjeg, 23. Sarajevo Film Festivala.

196 23. Sarajevo Film Festival l DAN LJUDSKIH PRAVA

Iako se može tvrditi da su se vremena promijenila i da žene danas uživaju veća prava nego ikada ranije, činjenica je da su one i dalje daleko od potpune ravnopravnosti s muškarcima. Uprkos ogromnim uspjesima koje je globalni ženski pokret za ravnopravnost ostvario u posljednjih sto i više godina, žene i djevojčice se u mnogim zemljama svijeta i danas prisiljavaju na maloljetnički brak, prodaju kao radna snaga ili seksualno roblje, ili im se onemogućava obrazovanje i učešće u političkom životu. Osim toga, žene se, između ostalog, i dalje bore da za svoj rad budu plaćene jednako kao muškarci, kao i za besplatnu osnovnu zdravstvenu zaštitu, finansijski pristupačnu dječiju njegu i slobodu od svih formi nasilja. Uspješan kraj njihove borbe još uvijek se ne nazire.


E Although most of the women across the world were given the right to vote by the end of the 1950s (and many in the decades before), it was not until the beginning of the 1970s that women in Switzerland began to enjoy the same right. Prior to that, while in other countries women freely and equally participated in social, economic and political life, even gaining national leadership positions (Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, for example), in Switzerland, at the heart of Europe, there were no female politicians, and neither were there any women voters. This was due to the fact that the Swiss system requires a national referendum for constitutional change; therefore, the rights of Swiss women were at the mercy of those who could vote with ballots cast on February 7, 1971 – men. Aware that the previous referendum on the right of women to vote, held in 1959, was rejected by 67 percent of Swiss men, women in Switzerland began to mobilise and organise across cantons, cities and villages to fight for suffrage.

This outstanding, lengthy struggle is portrayed by director Petra Volpe in THE DIVINE ORDER through the story of Nora, a seemingly ordinary housewife from a remote Swiss village who, despite the obstacles and backlash, becomes a fearless leader for suffragettes. Volpe outlines conservative, patriarchal Swiss society on the one hand; on the other, she examines the new, emancipated movement of women across the country, from the major cities to the smallest Alpine villages, as they demanded solidarity, equality and change. Remarkably, this same fight

continued across globe until 2015, when Saudi Arabia became the last country (with the exception of the State of Vatican City) to grant women the right to vote. Although we can agree that times have changed and women are better off today than ever before, they are still far from having the same rights and opportunities as men. Despite the great strides made by international women’s rights movements over the last century and longer, women and girls in many countries around the world are still today married off while they are still children, forced into labour and sexual slavery through human trafficking, or refused access to education and participation in the political sphere. Further, women are still fighting for equal pay, affordable childcare, free basic healthcare and freedom from all manner of violence, among other issues – and the battle is far from over. To what extent have the rights of women generally improved and advanced in the past decades? What are the key issues facing women’s rights movements today? Are we observing the progress, stagnation or even regression of women’s rights in RECENT years, especially with regard to issues of birth control and the right to abortion? What is the ongoing significance of the Women’s March worldwide protest that was held in January of this year? These are just some of the questions we will tackle and try to answer at this year’s panel debate taking place during Human Rights Day at the 23rd edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival.

HUMAN RIGHTS DAY l 23. Sarajevo Film Festival 197


Die göttliche Ordnung / Božanski poredak / The Divine Order Godina je 1971. Mlada domaćica Nora živi s mužem i dva sina u mirnom švicarskom seocetu u koje nisu doprla značajna društvena pomjeranja drugdje započeta 1968. godine. Stanovnici tog sela gotovo da i ne obraćaju pažnju na proteste za zaštitu ljudskih prava, seksualnu revoluciju, omladinu i hipi pokret. Nora je mirna osoba koju svi vole, i ništa od toga je se ne tiče. Međutim, njen život se u potpunosti mijenja nakon što se počne javno boriti za pravo glasa švicarskih žena o kojem bi švicarski muškarci trebali odlučiti na referendumu zakazanom za 7. februar 1971. Petra Volpe rođena je 1970. godine u Suhru, Švicarska. Studirala je na Filmskoj akademiji Konrad Wolf u Potsdam-Babelsbergu. Tokom studija napisala je scenarije i režirala nekoliko kratkih filmova. Nakon što je diplomirala 2003. godine, počinje raditi kao samostalna scenaristica i rediteljica. Njen debitantski film DREAMLAND pušten je u distribuciju 2014. godine, nakon uspješne filmske turneje. Film je nominovan za četiri nagrade Švicarske filmske akademije. E 1971. Nora is a young housewife who lives with her husband and their two sons in a quaint little village in the Swiss countryside, which is so far untouched by the major social upheavals 1968 has brought about. Protests in support of civil rights, the sexual revolution, and the youth and counterculture movements are barely on the radar in Nora’s village. Her life has not been affected either; she is a quiet person who is liked by everybody – but everything changes when she starts to fight publicly for the right of Swiss women to vote, which Swiss men are due to vote on on 7 February, 1971.

Petra Volpe was born in 1970 in Suhr, Switzerland. She studied at the Film Academy Konrad Wolf in Potsdam-Babelsberg. During her studies she wrote and directed several short films. Since completing her diploma in 2003, she has worked as an independent writer and director. Volpe’s debut film DREAMLAND was released in Swiss cinemas in the spring of 2014 after a successful festival tour, and was nominated for four Swiss Film Awards.

Suočavanje s prošlošću / Dealing with the Past Cilj projekta SUOČAVANJE S PROŠLOŠĆU krije se u njegovom imenu. Vjerujemo da je za prevazilaženje brojnih otvorenih pitanja proisteklih iz ratova u bivšoj Jugoslaviji, a koja nas još uvijek opterećuju, apsolutno nužna iskrena i otvorena diskusija o tom bolnom periodu naše prošlosti. U našem regionu u protekle dvije decenije pokrenute su brojne inicijative čiji je proklamovani cilj bio „izgradnja mira“. Međutim, slogani ne mogu zaliječiti ožiljke koje su godine ratnih stradanja ostavile na dušama ovdašnjih ljudi. Postoje cijele zajednice koje trpe ogromnu količinu boli i očajnički im je potreban cjelovit proces izlječenja. Vjerujemo da je preduslov za pokretanje tog procesa suočavanje svih ljudi koji su na bilo koji način bili uključeni u prošle događaje, ili zbog njih pate, sa otrežnjavajućim činjenicama. Naša čvrsta vjera u ispravnost ovog pristupa i svijest da se tumačenju historijskih događaja mora pristupiti iz različitih uglova su temeljni razlog pokretanja projekta SUOČAVANJE S PROŠLOŠĆU. Prvu godinu postojanja projekta SUOČAVANJE S PROŠLOŠĆU obilježili su zavidni rezultati. Ponosni smo na „Sajam istinitih priča“, jedinstvenu open-source platformu koja povezuje filmske autore sa organizacijama koje istražuju i dokumentuju zločine i njihove posljedice u društvima proisteklim iz ratova na području bivše Jugoslavije. Šest priča, koje su prezentovane prošle godine u sklopu “Sajma istinitih priča”, nastavljaju svoje živote u filmskim realizacijama te nam je izuzetno zadovoljstvo našoj publici predstaviti film NESMIRENI SNOVI, u produkciji Al Jazeera Balkans. Ovaj film zasnovan je na priči koju je prezentovao BIRN (Balkan Investigative Reporting Network) te se nadamo da će i ovogodišnje priče izazvati interes među filmskim autorima i potaknuti nove filmske projekte koji bi – zbog direktne i moćne prirode filmskog medija – bili u stanju doprijeti do puno većeg auditorija. Prošlogodišnji filmski naslovi programa nisu imali dijalog samo s publikom u Sarajevu, već su putovali u Bijeljinu, Beograd, Podgoricu, Zagreb i Split. Ovakvi rezultati ohrabruju nas da je projekt SUOČAVANJE S PROŠLOŠĆU svojevrstan put u budućnost – zato i nastavljamo sarađivati s omladinskim inicijativama, lokalnim i regionalnim nevladinim organizacijama i predstavnicima medija. Ove godine nam je izuzetna čast ugostiti Joshuu Oppenheimera, poznatog po odvažnom pristupu tematici suočavanja s prošlošću, koji će nam predstaviti ostvarenja koja su ga svrstala među najznačajnije filmske autore današnjice. Vrijednost ovog programa prepoznao je i poznati ratni fotograf Ron Haviv koji će s našom publikom razgovarati o značaju dokumentiranja sjećanja – o tome koliko su sjećanja relevantna ne samo za sadašnjost već i za budućnost. Vjerujemo da će ovakav program SUOČAVANJA S PROŠLOŠĆU inspirisati dijalog među pripadnicima različitih generacija, filmske autore, ali i predstavnike nevladinih organizacija, da ispune najplemenitiji zadatak filma, a to je otvaranje puta ka pravoj empatiji i istinskoj izgradnji mira. SUOČAVANJE S PROŠLOŠĆU je projekt Sarajevo Film Festivala, koji je podržala Fondacija Robert Bosch, a bit će realizovan u saradnji s regionalnim informativnim kanalom Al Jazeera Balkans. Projekt se odvija i unutar Takmičarskog programa – dokumentarni film i „Sajma istinitih priča“, u okviru CineLink dana filmske industrije.

E The purpose of the DEALING WITH THE PAST project is evident in its name. We believe that an open and honest discussion about our painful recent past is a prerequisite if we want to resolve the problems stemming from the wars in the former Yugoslavia that continue to be a burden on us. Over the past two decades, numerous initiatives have been launched in this region with the stated goal of “peace-building”. However, slogans cannot heal the scars of war that have been left on the souls of the people here. Entire communities live in immense pain and are in desperate need of a substantial healing process – a natural result of the recent conflicts. It is our belief that in order for such a healing process to begin, those who participated in the wars or who have suffered because of them must be confronted with sobering facts. Our confidence in the aptness of this approach, and our understanding that interpreting historical events requires that they be observed from different points of view, are the key reasons behind our decision to initiate DEALING WITH THE PAST.

It the year since its launch, DEALING WITH THE PAST has seen significant results. We are proud of the True Stories Market, a unique open-source platform that connects filmmakers with organisations that research and document war crimes and their impact on society in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. Six stories that were presented in the True Stories Market last year will get a new onscreen life. This year, we have the great pleasure of screening NESMIRENI SNOVI / RESTLESS DREAMS, a film produced by Al Jazeera Balkans and based on a story presented last year by the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN). We hope the stories we present this year in the True Stories Market will also attract the attention of filmmakers and result in new film projects that can reach wider audiences. Films that were screened in our programme last year not only communicated with audiences in Sarajevo, but also travelled to Bijeljina, Belgrade, Podgorica, Split and Zagreb. These results are very encouraging, and give us faith that DEALING WITH THE PAST is a bellwether of future in the region. It is with this in mind that we continue our cooperation with youth initiatives, as well as local and regional non-governmental organisations and media representatives. This year, we have the honour of hosting Joshua Oppenheimer, a filmmaker distinguished by his courageous approach to dealing with the past. He will present the documentaries that established him as one of the most important of contemporary filmmakers. Renowned war photojournalist Ron Haviv also recognised the value of our programme and has agreed to speak with our audiences about the importance of documenting real events and the relevance of preserved memories to both the present and the future. We believe that the DEALING WITH THE PAST project can initiate dialogue among different generations, and inspire filmmakers and NGO representatives to fulfil the most noble of cinema’s roles: to inspire empathy and open the way for true peace-building. DEALING WITH THE PAST is a project of the Sarajevo Film Festival supported by the Robert Bosch Foundation and presented in partnership with Al Jazeera Balkans. It is presented under the auspices of the Sarajevo Film Festival’s Competition Programme – Documentary Film and the CineLink Industry Days True Stories Market.

The Act of Killing / Čin ubijanja Nakon svrgavanja indonezijske vlade 1965, od sitnih kriminalaca koji su švercovali kino ulaznice, Anwar Congo i njegovi prijatelji promovisani su u vođe odreda smrti koji su učestvovali u ubijanju više od milion protivnika novouspostavljenog vojnog režima. Anwar se hvali da je lično ubio stotine ljudi, za šta ne samo da nije krivično odgovarao već uživa i status narodnog heroja. Kada im je ponuđena prilika da snime film o vlastitoj ulozi u genocidu, Anwar i njegovi prijatelji su pred kamerama sa zadovoljstvom odigrali stvarna ubistva i mučenja u kojima su učestvovali, predstavivši ih u formi mjuzikla, gangsterskog i kaubojskog filma. Joshua Oppenheimer rođen je 1974. godine u Austinu, SAD. Diplomirao je na Harvardu, a zatim stekao zvanje doktora nauka na Centralnom koledžu za umjetnost i dizajn St. Martins pri Univerzitetu za umjetnost u Londonu. Njegov debitantski dugometražni film, ČIN UBIJANJA, osvojio je 72 međunarodne nagrade, kao i nominaciju za nagradu Oscar za najbolji dokumentarni film 2014. godine. Njegov drugi film, POGLED TIŠINE, premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu 71. izdanja Filmskog festivala u Veneciji, gdje je osvojio pet nagrada, uključujući Veliku nagradu žirija, Nagradu međunarodnog udruženja filmskih kritičara (FIPRESCI) i Nagradu evropskih filmskih kritičara (FEDEORA). Christine Cynn već 14 godina režira dokumentarne i eksperimentalne filmove. Zajedno s Oppenheimerom i Indonežanima koji su željeli ostati anonimni režirala je i producirala film ČIN UBIJANJA. Anonimusi su brojni Indonežani koji su kao članovi ekipe radili na filmovima ČIN UBIJANJA i POGLED TIŠINE, a koji su željeli ostati anonimni zbog teme ovih filmova, načina na koji su proizvedeni i konteksta u kome su snimani. E When the Indonesian government was overthrown in 1965, small-time gangster Anwar Congo and his friends went from selling movie tickets on the black market to leading death squads in the mass murder of over a million opponents of the new military dictatorship. Anwar boasts of killing hundreds with his own hands, but he’s enjoyed impunity ever since, and has been celebrated by the Indonesian government as a national hero. When approached to make a film about their role in the genocide, Anwar and his friends eagerly re-create their real-life killings as they dance their way through musical sequences, twist arms in film noir gangster scenes, and gallop across prairies as Western cowboys.

Joshua Oppenheimer was born in 1974 in Austin, USA. He received a BA from Harvard College and a PhD from the Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, University of the Arts London. His debut feature-length film, THE ACT OF KILLING, won 72 international awards, and it was nominated in 2014 for the Academy Award for Best Documentary. His second film, THE LOOK OF SILENCE, premiered in the Official Competition at the Venice Film Festival, where it won five awards, including the Grand Jury Prize, the FIPRESCI Prize and the FEDEORA Prize. Christine Cynn has been directing documentary and experimental films for the past 14 years. She is the co-director and co-producer of the Academy Award-nominated documentary THE ACT OF KILLING with Oppenheimer and anonymous Indonesians. Anonymous reflects the numerous Indonesian crew members of THE ACT OF KILLING and THE LOOK OF SILENCE who had to remain anonymous due to the films’ subject matter, production methods and the context in which they were made.

The Look of Silence / Pogled tišine Gledajući materijal koji je Joshua Oppenheimer snimio s učesnicima genocida počinjenog u Indoneziji, preživjeli članovi porodice jedne od žrtava saznaju kako je njihov stariji sin ubijen, i ko ga je ubio. Njihov mlađi sin nakon toga odluči da prevlada strah i tišinu nametnute žrtvama, i suoči se s ubicama svoga brata – što je do tada bio nezamisliv čin u zemlji kojom još uvijek vladaju ubice.

E Through Joshua Oppenheimer’s work filming perpetrators of the Indonesian genocide, a family of survivors discovers how their son was murdered and the identity of the men who killed him. The youngest brother is determined to break the spell of silence and fear under which the survivors live, and so confronts the men responsible for his brother’s murder – something unimaginable in a country where killers remain in power.

Do sada je pronađeno blizu sedam hiljada kompletnih ili nekompletnih tijela u 93 masovne grobnice na više od 300 lokacija u sjeveroistočnoj Bosni. Na Kameničkom brdu u julu 1995. godine kolona muškaraca upala je u zasjedu i većina je tu ubijena. Ramiz Nukić, koji je preživio stradanje u tom mjestu, skoro svakodnevno odlazi u okolne šume, sakupljajući posmrtne ostatke nastradalih Srebreničana. Kaže da je u protekle 22 godine pronašao više od 250 tijela. Muris Beglerović rođen je 1976. godine u Sarajevu. Godine 2006. osnovao je produkcijsku kuću Gotiva, a od njenog osnivanja do danas režirao je više od 200 muzičkih spotova i reklama na teritoriji Balkana. NESMIRENI SNOVI njegov je dokumentarni prvenac. E According to the Missing Persons Institute, the remains of nearly 1,000 victims of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre are still unaccounted for. So far, complete and incomplete remains of close to 7,000 victims have been found in 93 mass graves located at more than 300 sites in northeast Bosnia. In July 1995, a group of men were ambushed in the Kameničko Hill area, near Srebrenica; most of them were killed. Ramiz Nukić, who survived the ambush, spends his days wandering through the woods around Srebrenica in search of human remains. Over the past 22 years, his discoveries have led to the identification of 250 Srebrenica massacre victims.

Muris Beglerović was born in Sarajevo in 1976, and founded the production house Gotiva in 2006. Since its founding, Beglerović has directed more than 200 music videos and commercials. RESTLESS DREAMS is his first documentary film.

Aala Kaf Ifrit / Ljepotica i psi / Beauty and the Dogs Mariam je mlada tunižanska studentica, lijepa kao cvijet. Jedne noći, sve što želi jeste da pleše pod blještavim reflektorima noćnog kluba i da bolje upozna Youssefa, mladića koji ne prestaje zuriti u nju. Ali jedan strašan događaj slomit će njena krila. Tri policajca je zatiču dok ljubi Youssefa na plaži ispred noćnog kluba. Tvrdeći da se radi o rutinskoj kontroli, policajci otimaju novac od Youssefa i više puta siluju Mariam. Uprkos pretrpljenoj traumi i bolu, Mariam je odlučna da prijavi slučaj prije nego što nestanu dokazi zločina sačuvani na njenom tijelu. Uz podršku mladića kojeg je tek upoznala, Mariam se sukobljava sa svim čuvarima ustaljenog sistema u borbi za svoje osnovno pravo: pravo da činjenice zločina, koje će joj omogućiti da sudski goni svoje zlostavljače, zapiše crno na bijelo. Prisiljena je suočiti se sa ravnodušnošću birokratskog aparata i nepoštenjem snaga za sprovođenje zakona. Podnošenje tužbe, Mariam će postati pitanje časti, integriteta i odlučnosti. Kaouther Ben Hania rođena je 1977. godine u Sidi Bouzidu, Tunis. Filmsku umjetnost studirala je u Tunisu, na filmskoj akademiji La Fémis u Parizu, te na Univerzitetu Sorbonne. Njen dokumentarni film IMAMS GO TO SCHOOL premijerno je prikazan na Festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu 2010, da bi zatim učestvovao na prestižnim festivalima širom svijeta. Ben Hanijin prvi igrani film, CHALLAT OF TUNIS, otvorio je program ACID Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2014. godine. ZAINEB HATES THE SNOW, nekoliko godina sniman u Kanadi i u Tunisu, te premijerno prikazan u zvaničnoj selekciji Filmskog festivala u Locarnu 2016. godine, osvojio je nagradu Zlatna Tanit na Filmskom festivalu Kartaga i proglašen je najboljim dokumentarnim filmom na Mediteranskom filmskom festivalu Cinémed. E Mariam is a young Tunisian student, beautiful like a flower. One night, all she wants to do is dance in the disco with its shimmering lights, and get to know Youssef, a young man who has been staring at her. But something terrible breaks her wings. Three policemen catch her on the beach, outside the nightclub, kissing Youssef. Claiming they are performing a routine check, they extort money from Youssef and rape Mariam repeatedly. Despite the trauma and pain, Mariam is adamant: she wants to file a complaint before the evidence of the abuse that has stained her body disappears… Supported by the young man she has just met, Mariam embarks on a showdown with the guardians of the set order, fighting for her basic right to transcribe the facts of the crime, in black and white, in an official report that will allow her to prosecute the aggressors. Her task is to face the coldness of bureaucracy and the dishonesty of law enforcement. Filing suit will become for Mariam a matter of honour, integrity and tenacity.

Kaouther Ben Hania was born in 1977 in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia. She studied Cinema in Tunisia and in Paris at La Fémis and the Sorbonne. Her documentary film IMAMS GO TO SCHOOL had its premiere at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam in 2010, and was selected for numerous prestigious film festivals.

En Attendant Les Hirondelles / Dok se ptice ne vrate / Until the Birds Return Biznismen Mourad postigao je uspjeh u Alžiru dvadesetih godina prošloga vijeka. Sada se, kao preporođen čovjek, želi držati podalje od problema. Kada se zatekne usred tuče u kojoj bi neko mogao izgubiti život, Mourad odluči da se neće uplitati niti ponuditi svoju pomoć. Aisha, raskrstivši s prošlošću i spremna započeti novi život kao udata žena, u društvu oca i komšije Jalila, kreće na put ka svojoj novoj porodici. Dahman, ljekar, nada se novom početku – želi oženiti svoju rodicu i strpljivo čeka unapređenje koje će potvrditi njegov visok društveni položaj. Svaki od ovih likova morat će se suočiti s posljedicama vlastitih izbora. Karim Moussaoui rođen je 1975. godine u Jijelu, Alžir.

E Mourad, a businessman, rose to success in Algeria in the 2000s. Now a new man, he wants to stay away from trouble. When he comes across a fight in which a man’s life is in danger, he decides not to step in or provide assistance. Aisha is done with the past. About to start a new life as a married woman, she starts on the journey toward her new family, accompanied by her father and Jalil, a neighbour. Dahman is a doctor. He too hopes to start over – he wants to marry his cousin, and patiently awaits the promotion that will confirm his social status. Each of these three characters will have to face up to the consequences of their choices.

Karim Moussaoui was born in 1975 in Jijel, Algeria. He is an active member of Chrysalis, one of Algeria’s most important independent film associations.

E AGAPE tells the story of a pedophile priest and his love triangle with two catechumens, one of whom is in love with him, while the other the priest yearns for – and over whom he loses his mind. When the priest is sanctioned by the Church and beaten by the catechumens, he embarks on a search for the highest form of divine love – agape.

Branko Schmidt was born in 1957 in Osijek, Croatia. He studied Economics briefly before enrolling in the Film and TV Directing programme of the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb. In 1982, Schmidt directed the television drama HILDEGARD, which was named the best TV drama in the former Yugoslavia. His first feature film, SOKOL DID NOT LOVE HIM, was screened at the Pula Film Festival, where he took the award for the best first-time director. In the 1990s, Schmidt directed four feature films: EVIL BLOOD, VUKOVAR: THE WAY HOME, A CHRISTMAS IN VIENNA (winner of the Golden Gate Award for Best Screenplay) and THE OLD OAK BLUES. THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT won two Golden Gate Awards, for Best Screenplay and Best Production. His THE MELON ROUTE achieved great international success, while METASTASES was named Best Film at the Pula Film Festival and was the winner of the Vladimir Nazor Award.

AVANT PREMIERE l 23. Sarajevo Film Festival 221


Senke na Balkanu / Black Sun Na maskenbalu, na kojem je okupljen beogradski „crème de la crème“, dešava se svirepo ubistvo. Inspektor Tanasijević ubrzo postaje svjestan da je uzrok učestalih jezivih dekapitacija jedna drevna relikvija kojoj se pripisuju mistične moći. Prateći trag zločina, inspektor se uključuje u opću potjeru za relikvijom s jednom jedinom željom – da je ukloni iz svog grada i spriječi dalja stradanja nevinih ljudi. U tome mu pomaže mladi kolega Stanko Pletikosić, jedan od prvih forenzičara izašlih iz beogradske škole Archibalda Reissa, ali i neočekivani saveznici sa suprotstavljenih strana koji shvataju da je inspektor neutralan, pa stoga pogodan da preko njega ostvare svoje interese. Dragan Bjelogrlić rođen je 1963. godine u Opovu, Srbija. Diplomirao je 1989. na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu. Prvi film u kojem je glumio bio je BOŠKO BUHA 1978. godine. Od tada je igrao u skoro 40 filmova, dvadesetak TV serija i drama, te 11 pozorišnih predstava. Dobitnik je preko 15 glavnih nagrada za filmove na domaćim festivalima i preko 20 međunarodnih priznanja. E Someone is brutally murdered during a costume party attended by the crème de la crème of Belgrade society. Inspector Tanasijević soon realises that a recent string of horrifying murders by decapitation is related to an ancient relic reputed to have mystic powers. As he investigates the crimes, Tanasijević joins in an all-out search for the relic in the hope he will be able to prevent the further suffering of innocent people by removing it from his town. He is helped in his efforts by his young colleague Stanko Pletikosić, one of the first graduates of Belgrade’s Forensic Science School Archibald Reiss, but also by unexpected, mutually hostile allies who realise the inspector is unbiased and thus a potentially useful tool for achieving their nefarious plans.

Dragan Bjelogrlić was born in 1963 in Opovo, Serbia, and graduated from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts of Belgrade University in 1989. His first film appearance was in 1978’s BOŠKO BUHA. Bjelogrlić has appeared in more than 40 films, some 20 television series and dramas, and 11 plays for theatre. He has won more than 15 top national film prizes, as well as more than 20 international accolades.

Deset muškaraca su jedini gosti u zabačenom planinskom hotelu. Oni su ratni veterani, nekadašnji pripadnici različitih vojski koje su međusobno ratovale na području bivše Jugoslavije. Tu su kao učesnici radionice čiji je cilj suočavanje s prošlošću. Nekadašnji antagonizmi ponovo izlaze na površinu. Dolazi do sukoba među veteranima i projekat se raspada. Međutim, okolnosti dovode do toga da veterani počinju djelovati zajednički i s vremenom shvataju da je među njima mnogo više sličnosti nego razlika. A group of war-scarred veterans from different sides in the Yugoslavian conflict are brought together by a peace group to share their wartime experiences, and to try to establish a degree of trust and faith between them. Emotions are highly charged as old enmities and hostilities emerge, but the participants gradually learn to overcome their divisions and achieve a kind of understanding and respect for each other, or at least tolerance, despite all the bloodshed that has flowed between them in the past.

SARAJEVO SONGS OF WOE je filmski triptih koji sadrži dvije priče “Plava balada za ljubavnike” i “Plavi Rondo za preživjele”, koje povezuje središnja priča “Plavi psalm za vukove”. Priče se međusobno prožimaju, sjedinjuju i grade jedan univerzalni mozaik života u Sarajevu. Kamera slijedi različite protagoniste povezujući ih kinematografskim kružnim plesom nade i očaja, ljubavi i smrti, te njihovom težnjom ka dostojanstvenom životu, koji je krhko razapet između žudnje za toplinom ljubavi i hladnoće naše civilizacije. SARAJEVO SONGS OF WOE is a filmic triptych containing the two tales “Blue Ballad for Lovers” and “Blue Rondo for Survivors” with a connecting middle part “Blue Psalm for Wolves”. The sections flow into each other, uniting and building up one universal mosaic of life situated in the town of Sarajevo. The camera follows different protagonists and interweaves with their cinematic round-dance of hope and despair, love and death and their quest for a dignified life, stretched fragilely between the desire for the warmth of love and the coldness of our civilisation’s reality.

Braco ga ne želi slušati i ne shvata priču ozbiljno. Zeko uzima britvu i prislanja je na Bracin vrat, te silom iznudi od njega obećanje da će se promijeniti. Braco bijesan odlazi, ne želeći ga više ikad vidjeti, a Švabo predlaže Zeki da posjeti psihijatra. Kad ostane sam, bez jedinog prijatelja i brata, Zeko uzima bombu.

Svaki četvrti zaposleni i svaki deveti radno aktivni stanovnik u Hrvatskoj, ima blokirani bankovni račun bez sudskog procesa. Sudske presude su donijete bez njihove suglasnosti, a često i bez upoznavanja sa razlozima ili rješenjem blokade. Kad zakaže sustav, kad se građanin više nema kome obratiti i kad ga beskropulozna administracija izbacuje iz kuće ili stana, tada u pomoć stižu mladi aktivisti koji svojim tijelima sprečavaju provedbu deložacija. Every fourth employee and every ninth active working resident in Croatia has a blocked bank account for being involved in a court trial. Verdicts are handed down without their compliance, and often without knowing the reasons or the solution to the blockade. When the system doesn’t function, when a citizen has no one to turn to, and when the administration is throwing them out of their homes, then young activists arrive to help and to prevent the eviction with their own bodies.

Maja Bahtijarević je napustila Bosnu i Hercegovinu sa svojim roditeljima 1992. godine, kada je imala šest godina. Vraća se u Bosnu i Hercegovinu i susreće Stefana, Jelenu i Peđu: troje mladih koji su odlučili ostati, iako znaju da se moraju boriti za prilike i perspektive. Oni govore o sadašnjoj situaciji, svojim uvjerenjima i nadama.

Na vrhuncu rata u Siriji dva sina i kćerka Junesa Ajuba i Helen Alašhab odlaze iz ratom zahvaćene zemlje. Porodica prodaje veći dio imovine, kako bi platili krijumčarima da ih prebace do Evrope. Junak filma, sedamdesetogodišnji Junes Ajub, ostaje u Damasku. On nam šalje poruku da je strah nemoćan pred snagom uma.

Maja Bahtijarević left Bosnia and Herzegovina with her parents in 1992 when she was only six years old. She returns to Bosnia and Herzegovina and meets Stefan, Jelena and Peđa: three young people who have decided to stay, although they know they’ll have to fight for opportunities and perspectives. They talk about the current situation, their beliefs and their hopes.

At the peak of the war in Syria, two sons and a daughter of Younes Ayoub and Helen Alashehab leave their war-torn homeland. The family sell most of their property to pay smugglers to take them to Europe. The hero of the film, seventy year old Younes, remains in Damascus. He sends us a message that fear is powerless against the power of the mind.

Priča je najjednostavnija: Autor u svome filmskom ishodišu i završetku filmske karijere, pravi svoj posljednji film u restlovima zamišljanih i nikad

snimljenih kadrova. Sve dosadašnje iskustvo sublimira u filmski projekat koji “NANO” kreacijom propituje mogućnosti filmskog izraza. Nakana je napraviti najdalji uklon od podrazumijevajućeg u filmu, a da se sve doima običnim i tačnim, razumljivim, bez velikih skrivenih ideja, u bliskosti sa životom. The story is simple: An author at the end of his life and his film career is making his last film from remnants of imagined and never realized film shots. He thus encapsulates his entire experience into the film project that applies “nano technology and nano creativity” in an effort to explore the possibilities of film expression. His intention is to take the greatest possible distance from everything that could be taken for granted in a film, but in such a way that everything still looks ordinary, real, understandable, and without grand hidden ideas.

Jasmin lako dobije odličnu ocjenu u Gimnaziji, ali nije fer prema ostalim učenicima. Erik ga pretuče, ali Jasmin treba od Erika svesku za učenje. Izmami je preko drugih tako da Erik ne zna šta se događa. Jasmin ponovo uvali učenike, ali ovaj put ga Erik brani od ljutnje ostalih. Jasmin easily gets excellent grades at school, but he isn’t fair to the other students. Erik beats him, but Jasmin needs Erik’s notes for learning. He gets them that way that Erik doesn’t know what’s going on. Jasmin is unfair again, but this time Erik defends him from the anger of others.

Iako im je dato relativno malo vremena za život (nekima tek jedan dan), iako su relativno bespomoćni u svijetu kojim vlada čovjek, leptiri vrijedno obavljaju jednu od svojih životnih uloga: navode ljude da se zaljubljuju jedni u druge. Na taj način postaju primjer da ni vrijeme, kao ni fizička (ne) moć nisu faktori koji nas mogu ometati u činjenju divnih stvari. Although given relatively little time to live (for some only one day), and despite being relatively helpless in the world ruled by humans, butterflies are doing one of their life roles: they guide people to fall in love with each other. So, they become an example that neither time nor physical fragility are factors that can dissuade us from doing wonderful things.
