Dobrodošli na 31. Sarajevo Film Festival / Welcome to the 31st Sarajevo Film Festival

Na našem vizualu riječ SARAJEVO ove godine ispisana je u obliku srca – postajući istovremeno znak našeg grada, Festivala i nagrade koja nosi njegovo ime. Tipografska struktura ove riječi sažima vrijednosti koje baštinimo već tri decenije: pripadnost, ritam, otvorenost, a kada se toj riječi doda i vrijeme – 15–22. august – poruka je jasna: Srce jače kuca za vrijeme Sarajevo Film Festivala.

Ovogodišnje izdanje nastavlja svoju već trideset i jednu godinu staru misiju. Mi smo mjesto susreta najkvalitetnijih filmova i serija s publikom te ključna platforma za razvoj regionalne kinematografije putem platforme CineLink Industry Days. Naši programi uključuju više od 250 filmova iz cijelog svijeta, s naglaskom na premijerna ostvarenja iz regije Jugoistočne Evrope u našim takmičarskim programima.

Film otvaranja je PAVILJON Dine Mustafića – domaća crna komedija koja, satiričnim pristupom ozbiljnim temama, donosi zabavu i podstiče na promišljanje o društvu koje stari.

Pored filma otvaranja, “Open Air” program ove godine čine dvije selekcije. U Ljetnom kinu Coca-Cola, najvećoj festivalskoj pozornici, pod otvorenim nebom, u samom srcu grada, publika ima priliku doživjeti neke od najznačajnijih arthouse filmova godine, uz poneki filmski klasik. Ovo kino nije samo simbol Festivala, već i mjesto zajedničkog doživljaja koje već gotovo tri decenije okuplja filmske ljubitelje iz cijelog svijeta. Ove godine uvodimo novu selekciju “Open Air premijere” u okviru koje pokazujemo filmove s prostora bivše Jugoslavije u jedinstvenom ambijentu UNIQA Ljetnog kina Stari Grad. Na taj način regionalni filmovi dobivaju još jedno posebno mjesto na Festivalu, a UNIQA Ljetno kino Stari Grad postaje još jedan simbol festivalskih večeri u Sarajevu.

Festival tradicionalno njeguje fokus na kompletne karijere autora koje posebno cijenimo. Ove godine retrospektive u programu “Posvećeno” donose filmove Paola Sorrentina – jednog od najistaknutijih evropskih reditelja današnjice, čiji sofisticirani vizuelni stil i duboko promišljene priče već dvije decenije oblikuju savremenu kinematografiju – te Ilyje Khrzha-

novskog, jednog od najoriginalnijih i najradikalnijih glasova Istočne Evrope, čiji rad pomjera granice filmske forme i iskustva gledanja.

Uz takmičarske programe publika ima priliku da pogleda najznačajnije naslove iz regije i Bosne i Hercegovine u programima “U fokusu” i “BH Film”, ali i da istraži evropske i svjetske trendove kroz selekcije “Kinoscope”, “Summer Screen” te bogat program kratkih filmova. Posebna pažnja posvećena je i najmlađima kroz programe “Dječiji program” i “TeenArena”, dok snažan festivalski pečat ostavljaju i sekcije posvećene ljudskim pravima i suočavanju s prošlošću, te partnerstvima s regionalnim i međunarodnim festivalima i institutima – posebno onim s Doha Film Institutom.

Nastavljajući da širi granice dostupnosti, Sarajevo Film Festival ove godine dodatno izlazi iz središta grada i približava se svojoj publici. Pored osvježenog UNIQA Ljetnog kina Stari Grad, publiku pozdravljamo i na novim lokacijama: Piknik kino u općini Ilidža, kino na Bazenu na Dobrini i Kino Grbavica u Novom Sarajevu –inicijative koje već žive ili će tek zaživjeti i izvan festivalske sedmice.

U programu Masterclass ove godine učestvuju velika imena savremenog filma: Michel Franco, Paolo Sorrentino, Ilya Khrzhanovskiy, Ray Winstone i Willem Dafoe, dok će Stellan Skarsgård otvoriti ovogodišnje izdanje programa “Talents Sarajevo” koji dodatno osnažuje obrazovni i profesionalni karakter Festivala.

Od ove godine Sarajevo Film Festival više ne dodjeljuje nagrade Srce Sarajeva za TV serije iz prethodne televizijske sezone. Umjesto toga, u oktobru u Porto Montenegru bit će održana prva ceremonija Adriatic Film & TV Awards (AFA) – nove regionalne nagrade koje, kao nasljednik dosadašnjih priznanja za TV serije, po prvi put objedinuju filmske i televizijske produkcije s prostora bivše Jugoslavije u zajedničkom godišnjem izboru. AFA je zajednički poduhvat Sarajevo Film Festivala, Zagreb Film Festivala i Festivala autorskog filma Beograd – osnivača Mreže festivala Jadranske regije, a sada i filmske i TV akademije jadranske regije. Više od šesto profesionalaca iz cijelog regiona – članova

Jovan Marjanović

buduće akademije – birat će pobjednike, po uzoru na priznate modele kao što su BAFTA i Američka filmska akademija. Prve selekcije i nominacije bit će predstavljene upravo tokom ovogodišnjeg izdanja Sarajevo Film Festivala.

Kao i uvijek, Sarajevo Film Festival ne bi bio moguć bez posvećenosti cijelog tima, povjerenja naših partnera i sponzora, kao i podrške javnih institucija, podjednako lokalnih i međunarodnih. Naša zahvalnost ide svima koji su dio ove zajednice – iz godine u godinu, iz filma u film.

Našoj publici, koja daje smisao svemu što radimo, želimo dobrodošlicu na još jedno izdanje Sarajevo Film Festivala – neka ovo ljeto bude vrijeme susreta, filma i zajedništva.

E This year, the word SARAJEVO appears in the form of a heart on our visual identity - becoming at once a symbol of our city, our festival, and the award that bears its name. This typographic structure of the name captures the values we have upheld for over three decades: belonging, rhythm, openness. And when dates - 15–22 August - are added, the message is clear: the heart beats stronger during the Sarajevo Film Festival.

This year’s edition continues our mission, now in its 31st year. Sarajevo remains a place where the highest quality films and series meet their audiences, and a crucial platform for the development of regional cinema through CineLink Industry Days. Our film programme includes more than 250 works from around the world, with a strong focus on regional premieres from Southeast Europe that are showcased in the Competition.

This year’s opening film is Dino Mustafić’s THE PAVILION - a domestic black comedy that, through its satirical approach to serious issues, delivers both entertainment and a powerful reflection on an aging society.

As it does every year, the opening night screening will take place under the stars at the Coca-Cola Open Air Cinema, our largest venue. Throughout the festival, in the very heart of the

city, audiences will experience some of the most significant art-house films of the year, along with a few timeless classics, in this screening space, which has become a symbol of the festival. We are thrilled to continue this shared experience that, for nearly three decades, has brought together film lovers from around the globe. This year, we introduce a new outdoor programme: Open Air Premieres, which showcases films from the former Yugoslav nations in the unique atmosphere of the UNIQA Open Air Cinema Stari Grad. In doing so, we give regional filmmaking a new, prominent platform, and create a new audience experience that is sure to become another emblem of festival nights in Sarajevo.

It is a longstanding tradition of the Festival to present the bodies of work of filmmakers we hold in great esteem in our Tribute To programme. This year features tributes to two directors: Ilya Khrzhanovskiy, one of Eastern Europe’s most original and radical voices, whose work challenges the boundaries of cinematic form and the viewer experience; and Paolo Sorrentino, one of the most distinguished filmmakers of our time, whose sophisticated visual style and deeply considered narratives have shaped contemporary cinema for over two decades.

In addition to the films in competition, audiences will have the opportunity to see the most notable recent titles from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the surrounding region in our In Focus and BH Film sections, and to explore broader European and global trends through the Kinoscope, Summer Screen, and rich short film programmes. We pay special attention to our younger audiences with our Children’s Programme and TeenArena, while other sections focus on human rights, coming to terms with past conflict, and our partnerships with regional and international festivals and institutions—particularly a longstanding collaboration with the Doha Film Institute.

Continuing to increase its accessibility, this year the Sarajevo Film Festival expands further beyond the city centre to meet more audiences where they are. In addition to the revitalised UNIQA Open Air Cinema Stari Grad, we will wel-

come visitors at several new venues: the Ilidža Picnic Cinema, the Bazen Dobrinja Open Air Cinema, and the Cinema in Grbavica - initiatives that will live on beyond the Festival week.

This year’s Masterclass programme features major names in contemporary cinema: Willem Dafoe, Michel Franco, Ilya Khrzhanovskiy, Paolo Sorrentino, and Ray Winstone. Stellan Skarsgård opens this year’s Talents Sarajevo programme, further strengthening the Festival’s educational and professional dimension.

Starting this year, the Heart of Sarajevo Awards for TV Series from the past season will be replaced by their successor: the Adriatic Film & TV Awards (AFA), which will be presented for the first time this October in Porto Montenegro. These new regional awards unite film and television works from the former Yugoslav region in shared annual recognition for the first time. The AFAs are a joint initiative of the Sarajevo Film Festival, the Zagreb Film Festival, and the Auteur Film Festival Belgrade - the founding members of the Adriatic Region Festival Network, and of the recently formed Film & TV Academy of the Adriatic Region. More than 600 professionals from across the region - members of the emerging Academy - vote for the winners, following models established by institutes such as the BAFTAs and the Academy Awards. The first AFA selections and nominations will be unveiled during this year’s Sarajevo Film Festival.

The Sarajevo Film Festival would not be possible without the dedication of our team, the trust of our partners and sponsors, and the support of local and international public institutions. As always, our heartfelt gratitude goes to everyone who is part of this community- from year to year, from film to film.

To the members of our audience - who give meaning to all that we do - we offer a warm welcome to another edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival. May this summer be a time of encounters, cinema, and togetherness.

Ovogodišnji Takmičarski program za igrani film Sarajevo Film Festivala donosi deset izvanrednih ostvarenja koja nude živopisnu panoramu savremene regionalne kinematografije. Dinamična kombinacija hrabrog pripovijedanja, vizuelnih inovacija i svježih perspektiva oslikava bogatstvo kulturne raznolikosti Balkana i šire. Sa šest debitantskih ostvarenja program ističe novu generaciju autora koji donose originalne vizije i odvažne kreativne pristupe. Od intimnih priča do društveno angažovanih drama, selekcija odražava kompleksnost i energiju današnje filmske scene. Program je istovremeno i slavlje afirmisanih autora, ali i platforma za one koji oblikuju budućnost balkanske i istočnoevropske kinematografije.

Srpski reditelj Stefan Đorđević predstavlja svoj debitantski film VJETRE, PRIČAJ SA MNOM, hibrid dokumentarnog i igranog filma. Nakon smrti majke Stefan se vraća u porodični dom pored jezera na proslavu 80. rođendana bake i, istovremeno, snima ličnu priču koja uključuje stvarne članove porodice i spašenog psa. Arhivski snimci i improvizovane scene brišu granice između prošlosti i sadašnjosti, tuge i nježnosti. Film je premijerno prikazan u Tiger konkurenciji festivala u Rotterdamu.

Iz Sjeverne Makedonije dolazi debitantski film DJ AHMET reditelja Georgija M. Unkovskog, a riječ je o dinamičnoj priči o odrastanju koja kombinuje mladalačku energiju s tradicionalnim nasljeđem. Smješten u kulturno bogato, ali neurbano okruženje, film istražuje identitet i samoizražavanje putem muzike. Osvojio je Nagradu publike i Specijalnu nagradu žirija za kreativnu viziju na festivalu Sundance.

YUGO FLORIDA, debitantski igrani film srpskog reditelja Vladimira Tagića, prati Zorana, noćnog supervizora rijaliti emisije koji se suočava s teškom bolešću svog oca. Emotivna priča o otuđenju i pomirenju generacija donosi snažne glumačke izvedbe i promišljen scenarij. Film će imati svjetsku premijeru u Sarajevu.

Slovenska rediteljica Kukla (Katarina Kuzmanović) donosi svoj vizuelno upečatljiv

prvenac FANTASY, koji je premijerno prikazan u Locarnu. U industrijskom gradiću, tri djevojketomboy susreću transrodnu djevojku Fantasy, čiji dolazak mijenja njihovu svakodnevicu. Film je poetsko i vibrantno istraživanje roda, identiteta i patrijarhata, koje spaja realizam s ekspresivnim koloritom i odvažnom montažom.

Austrijski film BIJELI PUŽ reditelja Else Kremser i Levina Petera prati Mašu, bjelorusku manekenku koja sanja o Kini, i Mišu, radnika u mrtvačnici i slikara. Iako dolaze iz različitih svjetova, povezuje ih nježna i tragična veza. Film, koji se oslanja na dokumentarnu osjetljivost, prikazuje noćni Minsk pun čežnje i suptilnih emocija. Premijerno je prikazan u Locarnu.

Mađarski debitantski film ZVIJEZDE MALOG ZNAČAJA reditelja Renátóa Olasza prati Bianku i Milána, brata i sestru koji se za Božić vraćaju u rodno selo. U susretima s prošlošću, film istražuje identitet i tenzije između mladosti i zrelosti. Sniman bez formalnog scenarija, film se oslanja na improvizaciju i autentičnost.

Hrvatska rediteljica Hana Jušić se vraća s filmom BOG NEĆE POMOĆI, smještenim početkom 20. stoljeća u izolirano pastirsko selo na planinama Dinare. Čileanska udovica Teresa dolazi s kostima svog pokojnog muža u nadi da će pronaći njegovu porodicu. Njeno prisustvo remeti mir zajednice zatvorene tradicijom. Film istražuje kulturne sukobe, nostalgiju i identitet, uz dojmljivu kameru Janje Plećaš i pažljivo dizajniranu scenografiju. Premijerno prikazan u Locarnu.

Treći igrani film Ivane Mladenović SORELLA DI CLAUSURA hibridna je drama inspirisana autobiografskom pričom Liliane Pelici. Opsjednuta poznatim balkanskim muzičarem, Liliana uz pomoć ekstravagantne pop-zvijezde Vere kreće na put samospoznaje i susreta sa svojim idolom. Poetski film ceste premijerno je prikazan u Locarnu.

Bosanski reditelj Srđan Vuletić vraća se s filmom VIDRA. Ova drama o odrastanju prati tinejdžericu koja se nosi s tugom, porodičnim

Elma Tataragić

tenzijama i samootkrivanjem. Vuletićev pristup spaja humor, emocije i regionalni realizam, nudeći svjež pogled na adolescenciju izvan uobičajenih balkanskih narativa.

Osim devet filmova u konkurenciji, ove godine predstavljamo i jedan film izvan konkurencije i to svjetsku premijeru filma GLAVA PORODICE albanskom reditelja Andamiona Murataja. Uz četiri svjetske premijere i snažno prisustvo na velikim festivalima, Takmičarski program – igrani film 2025. godine prikazuje umjetničku raznolikost i dubinu regije. Ovi filmovi, različiti po stilu i temama, oslikavaju jedinstvene historije i univerzalna ljudska iskustva. Program potvrđuje ulogu Sarajevo Film Festivala kao ključne platforme za inovativno pripovijedanje i nove glasove iz Balkana i šireg prostora.

E With ten exceptional films, this year’s Sarajevo Film Festival Competition Programme for Feature Films offers a vibrant panorama of contemporary regional cinema. A dynamic mix of bold storytelling, visual innovation, and fresh perspectives, the selection captures the depth of the region’s cultural richness. Featuring six debut features, the programme highlights the new generation of filmmakers who are bringing their daring and original vision to the screen. From intimate tales to socially resonant dramas, this year’s selection reflects the complexity and energy of today’s cinematic landscape. It is both a celebration of established talent and a platform for voices that are shaping the future of Balkan and Eastern European cinema.

Serbian director Stefan Đorđević presents his debut WIND, TALK TO ME, a blend of documentary and fiction. After the death of his mother, Stefan returns to his lakeside family home for his grandmother’s eightieth birthday, at the same time filming a personal story that features real family members—and a rescued dog. Archival footage and improvised scenes blur past and present, grief and affection. The film premiered in the Tiger Competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

From North Macedonia, Georgi M. Unkovski makes his feature debut with DJ AHMET, a coming-of-age film that blends youthful energy and tradition. Set in a culturally rich, non-urban landscape, it explores identity and self-expression through music. The film won the Audience and Creative Vision Awards at the Sundance Film Festival.

YUGO FLORIDA, by Serbian director Vladimir Tagić, follows Zoran, a night-shift reality-show supervisor facing his father’s terminal illness. With strong performances and sharp observation at its core, this emotionally layered debut explores generational estrangement and reconciliation. The film has its world premiere in Sarajevo.

Slovenian director Kukla (Katarina Kuzmanović) comes to Sarajevo with FANTASY, her visually bold debut, which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival. Set in an imaginary industrial town, it follows three tomboy friends whose world is shaken by the arrival of Fantasy, a young trans woman. The film is a vibrant and poetic exploration of gender, identity, and patriarchy, grounded in realism and enriched by expressive colour and editing.

From Austria, Elsa Kremser and Levin Peter’s WHITE SNAIL tells the story of Masha, a Belarusian model pursuing her dream job in China, and Misha, a painter and morgue worker. The two form a bond across class divisions and night shifts in Minsk. Drawing from documentary sensitivity, the film is quiet and lyrical, capturing longing and emotional intimacy. It premiered at Locarno.

Marking the directorial debut of Renátó Olasz, the Hungarian film STARS OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE follows siblings Bianka and Milán as they return to their rural hometown for Christmas. Through reunions and reflection, the film explores identity and the tension between past and present. Shot without a formal script, the film captures spontaneous emotion and realism.

Croatian director Hana Jušić returns to Sarajevo with GOD WILL NOT HELP, set in a remote

shepherd village in the Dinaric Alps in the early twentieth century. When a Chilean widow arrives carrying her late husband’s bones, believing his family lives there, her presence unsettles the tight-knit community. Jušić explores cultural tension, longing, and disruption, with immersive cinematography by Janja Plećaš and detailed production design. The film premiered at Locarno.

Ivana Mladenović’s SORELLA DI CLAUSURA is a hybrid drama based on Liliana Pelici’s autobiographical tale. Obsessed with a famous Balkan musician since childhood, Liliana embarks on a journey—helped by a flamboyant pop star named Vera—to meet him. This poetic, transformative road movie premiered in Locarno and continues Mladenović’s bold artistic path.

Bosnian director Srđan Vuletić returns with OTTER, a coming-of-age drama centred on a teenage girl coping with grief, family tensions, and self-discovery. Vuletić’s distinct approach blends wit, emotion, and regional realism, offering a nuanced look at adolescence beyond typical Balkan narratives.

In addition to the nine films in competition, this year we will also present a film out of competition, the World Premiere of Andamion Murataj’s MAN OF THE HOUSE from Albania. With four world premieres and a notable presence at recent significant film festivals, the 2025 Competition showcases the artistic depth and diversity of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. These nine films, spanning a broad range of styles and themes, reveal unique histories and universal human experiences. The programme affirms the Sarajevo Film Festival’s place as a key platform for innovative storytelling and bold new voices from our region and beyond.

Minden csillag / Zvijezde manjeg značaja / Stars of Little Importance

Brat i sestra vraćaju se kući iz glavnog grada kako bi Božić proveli s prijateljima iz djetinjstva i svojim prvim ljubavima. Organizuju zabavu. Puno piju. Ništa nije kao što je nekada bilo. Ali će biti dobro, zar ne? Iz vizure brata i sestre posmatramo napušteni grad, gdje vrijeme kao da je stalo, i upoznajemo neke od mađarskih provincijskih sudbina. Brat i sestra se moraju suočiti s brojnim pitanjima: Trideset nam je godina. Gdje sada idemo? Da li smo ovako zamišljali svoje živote kada smo bili tinejdžeri?

But everything is good, right? Through the siblings’ eyes, we observe an abandoned city, where time has frozen, and we experience some Hungarian rural destinies. The siblings must face some questions: Where are they going, now that we are thirty years old? Is this how they imagined their lives would be when they were teenagers?

Po prvi put nakon skorašnje smrti svoje majke, Stefan se sastaje sa članovima porodice kako bi proslavili rođendan njegove bake. Povratak kući inspirisan željom da završi film o majci, kao i pokušaj da se iskupi tako što spašava psa lutalicu, navode Stefana na introspekciju. Inspirisan rediteljevim stvarnim životom i sa članovima njegove porodice kao glumcima sa zadatkom da završe izgradnju kuće kraj jezera i film, VJETRE, PRIČAJ SA MNOM intiman je filmski osvrt na bezvremenu vezu između majke i sina.

E Stefan reunites with his family to celebrate his grandmother’s birthday for the first time since his mother recently passed away. This homecoming, driven by Stefan’s urge to complete a film about his mother as well as an attempt to make amends by rescuing a stray dog, will ignite an introspective journey. Inspired by director Stefan Đorđević ’s real-life experiences, and starring his real-life family members in a mission to complete a lake house and a film, WIND, TALK TO ME is an intimate cinematic exploration of the timeless mother-son relationship.

Vidra / Otter

Hana je stidljiva šesnaestogodišnja djevojka, potajno zaljubljena u školskog druga iz lokalnog dua Luka & Balša, poznatog s društvenih mreža. Sljedećeg jutra Hana gubi oca. Dok se porodica raspravlja o tome kako treba da izgleda „prava“ sahrana, Hana se suočava s majčinom nesposobnošću da se odupre zahtjevima muškaraca. Razočarana i zbunjena, Hana bježi na jezero. Tamo je čeka novo razočarenje. Vrlo brzo shvata da Balša nije samo momak s kojim dijeli obostrane osjećaje. Nastaje emotivni haos – rezultirajući u ljubomori, skrivenom nasilju i tenzijama u ljubavnom trokutu s Lukom i Balšom. Hani se pruža izbor: da šuti o onome što se dogodilo ili da konačno zauzme stav.

Srđan Vuletić je režirao i pisao scenarij za nagrađivane dugometražne i kratkometražne filmove među kojima su LJETO U ZLATNOJ DOLINI, koji je osvojio nagradu Tigar na Filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu, a film TEŠKO JE BITI FIN, osvojio je Srce Sarajeva za najboljeg glumca na Sarajevo Film Festivalu, Nagradu za najbolji scenarij na Mont Blancu, TROSKOK, koji je osvojio Nagradu za najbolji kratki film programa Panorama na Berlinaleu. Napisao je scenarij za kratki film 10 MINUTA, koji je osvojio Felixa za najbolji kratki film Evropske filmske akademije. Kreator je i scenarista televizijskih serija TENDER i FRUST. VIDRA je njegov četvrti dugometražni film, razvijan u programima Cannes Cinefondation Atelier, Cinelink Sarajevo i Midpoint.

E Hana is a shy sixteen-year-old girl, secretly in love with a schoolmate from the local duo Luka & Balsha known from social media. The next morning Hana loses her father. While the family argues about what a “proper” funeral looks like, Hana faces her mother’s inability to resist the demands of men. Disappointed and confused, Hana runs away to the lake. There a new disappointment awaits her. Hana very quickly realizes that Balsha is not just a boy with whom she shares mutual feelings. An emotional mess arises, outbursts of jealousy, hidden violence in the triangle with Luka and Balsha. Hana is offered a choice whether to stay silent about what happened or to finally take a stand.

Srđan Vuletić is a writer and director of short and feature-length narrative films, including SUMMER IN THE GOLDEN VALLEY, which won the Tiger Award at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, his next feature IT IS HARD TO BE NICE received the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Actor at the Sarajevo Film Festival and the Best Screenplay Award at the Mont Blanc Film Festival; and HOP, SKIP AND JUMP, which was named Best Short Film in the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival.

White Snail / Bijeli puž

Bjelorusku manekenku, koja sanja da izgradi karijeru u Kini, privlači misteriozni usamljenik koji radi u noćnoj smjeni u mrtvačnici. Njihov susret mijenja njen doživljaj tijela, ljepote i smrtnosti. Krhka ljubavna priča dvoje izopćenika koji jedno drugome preokrenu svijet i otkriju da nisu sami.

Elsa Kremser osnovala je produkcijsku kompaniju RAUMZEITFILM u Beču s Levinom Peterom. Levin Peter počeo je surađivati sa Elsom Kremser 2009. godine, tokom njenih filmskih studija. Njihov dokumentarni film SVEMIRSKI PSI premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu, a potom i na više od 70 drugih festivala širom svijeta.

E Dreaming of a career in China, a Belarusian model finds herself drawn to a mysterious loner who works the night shift at a morgue. Their encounter disturbs her senses of body, beauty, and mortality. The fragile love story of two outsiders who turn each other’s worlds upside down and discover that they are not alone.

Elsa Kremser founded the Vienna-based production company RAUMZEITFILM together with Levin Peter.

Levin Peter started collaboration with Elsa Kremser during their film studies in 2009. Their documentary SPACE DOGS premiered 2019 in Locarno and was shown at more than 70 festivals worldwide.

Zoranov čudni i gotovo besmisleni život, koji dijeli sa napušenim sustanarom i rezervisanom bivšom djevojkom, radeći na jednom reality TV-kanalu, okreće se naglavačke nakon što njegov otuđeni i nepodnošljivi otac smrtno oboli, a on se odluči brinuti o njemu i pomoći mu u posljednjim sedmicama njegovog života.

Vladimir Tagić je poznat kao autor, scenarista i reditelj nagrađivane TV-serije SABLJA, koja je premijerno prikazana u takmičarskom programu festivala Cannes Series 2024, gdje je osvojila Nagradu za specijalnu interpretaciju. Njegova prethodna TV-serija JUTRO ĆE PROMIJENITI SVE premijerno je prikazana u programu Avant Premiere Sarajevo Film Festivala 2018. godine. Njegov kratki film IZLAZ U SLUČAJU OPASNOSTI premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu ClermontFerrand, a predstavljen je i na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu u okviru programa „Acid“.

E Zoran’s awkward, almost pointless life—which features a pothead roommate, an unavailable ex-girlfriend, and a job on reality TV—is turned upside down when his estranged and intolerable father is diagnosed with a terminal illness and Zoran commits himself to helping him through his final weeks.

Vladimir Tagić is best known as a creator, writer, and director of the award-winning hit television show OPERATION SABRE, which had its premiere in the Series Competition at the Festival de Cannes in 2024, where it won the Special Interpretation Award. His previous TV series, MORNING CHANGES EVERYTHING, was presented in the Avant Premiere programme at the Sarajevo Film Festival in 2018. His short film EMERGENCY EXIT premiered at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival and was presented in the Acid programme at the Festival de Cannes.

Fran je prigrlila tradiciju albanskih virdžina u skladu sa kojom se obavezala živjeti u celibatu i kao muškarac. Sada, ako želi preuzeti ulogu majke svojoj nećakinji koja je ostala bez biološke majke, Fran mora napraviti težak izbor: da nastavi živjeti kao muškarac ili da se odrekne „muškosti“ i prigrli majčinske instinkte koje odavno potiskuje. Kada dođe trenutak da život krene dalje, izbori njene nećakinje prisiljavaju Fran da se suoči sa svojim najdubljim strahovima i odluči da li da učini ono što želi i zadrži mladu djevojku ili da je pusti da krene vlastitim putem.

Andamion Murataj magistrirao je filmsku umjetnost i elektronske medije na Američkom univerzitetu u Washingtonu. Murataj je 2009. osnovao produkcijsku kompaniju Lissus Media. Bio je ko-scenarista i ko-reditelj igranog filma OPROŠTAJ KRVI koji je osvojio nagradu Srebreni medvjed za najbolji scenarij Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. Murataj je također i suosnivač Balkan Film Marketa i Albascript radionica.

E Fran has chosen to live a celibate life as a man, following the tradition of the Albanian Virgins. Now, if she is to become a mother to her motherless niece, Fran must make a difficult choice: maintaining her status of “manhood” or giving it up and reconnecting with the maternal feelings she has long suppressed. When the time comes to move forward in life, it is her niece’s choice that forces Fran to confront her deepest fears when she must decide whether to act on her desire to keep the young girl close or to give her wings.

Andamion Murataj holds an MFA in film and electronic media from the American University in Washington, DC. In 2009, he founded Lissus Media, a production company. He co-wrote and coproduced the feature film THE FORGIVENESS OF BLOOD, for which he received the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at the Berlin International Film Festival. Murataj is a co-founder and the director of the Balkan Film Market and the Albascript Workshops.

Filmovi – unatoč svemu ili baš zbog toga –puni su ljubavi! /

Despite—or Perhaps

Because of—Everything, Films Are Full of

Love

Dvanaest cjelovečernjih i osam kratkih dokumentarnih filmova natječu se za dva Srca Sarajeva te još dvije vrijedne nagrade. Unatoč očiglednim odjecima tragedija na globalnom nivou, autori dokumentaraca slave snagu ljubavi kao najjačeg životnog pokretača, bilo da se radi o obiteljskim ili ratnim pričama. Posebna vrijednost je u tome da se i kroz te, naizgled samo obiteljske priče, može saznati dosta o sociopolitičkim uvjetima života u određenoj sredini. Posebno raduje da ćemo po drugi put imati film autorice romskog porijekla. VIDIO SAM “SUNO” donosi priču o romskoj obitelji s Kosova čije je živote mađarska rediteljica Katalin Bársony dokumentovala tokom dvije decenije. Nakon dugogodišnjeg života u Njemačkoj, ova porodica je brutalno prognana na Kosovo. Ovaj film, uz još četiri druga, imat će svjetsku premijeru, dok će tri filma imati međunarodne premijere u Sarajevu.

Uzbudljivo je u selekciji pratiti stilsko istraživanje nekih autora koji iskaču iz tradicije narativnog dokumentarca i grade nelinearno asocijativno filmsko izražavanje. Sve to čini ovogodišnju selekciju posebno vrijednom. U programu su i dva filma o kreaciji i stvaralaštvu koja donose promišljanje vremena iz prošlosti Jugoslavije. Filmovi TREĆI SVIJET hrvatskog reditelja i publiciste Arsena Oremovića o grupi Haustor te djelo slovenskog sineaste Damjana Kozole o umjetničkoj grupi OHO (OHO Film je izvan takmičarskog dijela). Zadivljuje upornost i predanost autora – neki su filmovi stvarani skoro cijelo desetljeće, poput filma Imama Hassanova iz Azerbejdžana SANJARI: LJUDI SVJETLOSTI, koji donosi priču o treneru ženskog fudbala. Ovaj film je puno više od priče o sportu, to je unutrašnji krik sanjara koji progovara o aktivnom otporu protiv tradicije i društvenih predrasuda.

Autori rade izvrsne cinema verité filmove. Kamera kao da nije prisutna u okruženju protagonista filma. Bravo svima koji su u tome uspjeli, navest ću samo par naslova: CUBA I ALASKA Yegora Troyanovskog je ukrajinska saga o dvije djevojke koje odlaze na front kao medicinske sestre. Film o užasu rata, a opet ispunjen ljubavlju i smijehom. Bugarski U PAKLU S IVOM Kristine Nikolove donosi uzbudljivu borbu avangardnog muzičara Ive kako s mikro, tako i s makro okruženjem. U filmu DOĆI ĆE NAŠE VRIJEME, premijerno prikazanom na festivalu u Berlinu, možda najiskusnija autorica u cijeloj selekciji Ivette Locker prati ljubavnu priču migranta iz Afrike i Austrijanke. Njihova ljubav

treba nadjačati predrasude i rigidni sistem. U rumunskom dirljivom filmu TATA pratimo pokušaj ponovnog povezivanja kćerke – autorice filma Line Vdovii (drugi reditelj je njezin suprug Radu Ciorniciuc) s ocem koji je iz Moldavije otišao na rad u Italiju. Nekadašnji nasilnik i grubijan, sadašnja žrtva kapitalističkog izrabljivanja, vapi za pomoć. Gruzijski UGOVOR NA 9 MJESECI donosi potresnu sudbinu žene koja kontinuirano zarađuje kao surogat majka kako bi školovala kćerku. Autorica Ketevan Vashagashvili pratila je junakinju skoro deset godina. Hrvatski film LEKCIJE MOG TATE debitantkinje Dalije Dozet priča je o ranopreminulom ocu. Autorica prevrće stotine videokaseta snimljenih kući i traži u njima tatu i njegov pogled na život. Autor iz Grčke Thanos Psichogios u kratkom filmu ZMAJ poetski promišlja svoj odnos prema ocu dok bugarska autorica Aysel Küçüksu pokušava preko susreta u filmu PISMA izraziti ljubav prema majci. Emociju ljubavi i razumijevanja roditelja osjećamo i u kompleksnom filmu, zanimljivog filmskog jezika, VJERUJEM DA ME PORTRET SPASIO kosovskog autora Albana Muje, premijerno prikazanom na Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu.

Film DIVIA reditelja Dmytra Hreshka usredsređuje se na agresivno uništavanje i trovanje prirode u ratu. Film je posve bez riječi, ali elokventno progovara snagom impresivnih slika i zvuka.

Drugi film koji istražuje osebujnu autorsku formu je austrijsko-ukrajinski po proizvodnji, no posve ukrajinski po autorima i tematici –MILITANTROPOS (premijera na festivalu u Cannesu) rediteljskog trija Yelizavete Smith, Aline Gorlove i Semona Mozghovyja. Film istražuje na sinematički izuzetno osebujan način kako se rat uvlači u čovjeka.

Film SLET 1988 srbijanske rediteljice Marte Popivode kroz uzbudljivu teksturu miješanja arhiva, osobnih sjećanja i strasti modernog plesa, vraća se duhu vremena tranzicije, velikih odluka i drastičnih promjena. Autorica iz Gruzije Mariam Khatchvani propituje položaj žene u društvu u filmu vrlo značajnog naslova ZEMLJA ZA MUŠKARACE. Nebojša Slijepčević iz Hrvatske mjeri temperaturu društva u filmu CRVENI TOBOGAN koji je koliko sociološki zanimljiv, toliko i politički značajan.

I u zaključku možemo slobodno reći da je ove godine i domaća i regionalna produkcija na visokokvalitativnom nivou. Program otvara

Rada Šešić

BOSANSKI VITEZ Tarika Hodžića, u produkciji Adnana Ćuhare. Film na gotovo bajkovit i vizuelno romantičan način istražuje porijeklo Bosanaca. Druga dva domaća filma su STEEL HOTEL SONG Bojana Stojčića, vizuelna opservacija na rubu meditativne art-forme, te film SVAKI PUT KAD ODEŠ, PONOVO SE RAĐAŠ Mladena Bundala, kontemplativni poetski dokumentarac koji reflektira emocionalno stanje čina odlaska –napuštanja majke i roditeljskog doma.

Mislim da je naša regija autorski snažna i posve na nivou ostatka svijeta. Za filmske profesionalce, pored ovog programa, preporučujem prezentaciju pet vrhunskih regionalnih projekata na Docu Rough Cut Boutique platformi. Nove zvijezde dokumentaristike se stalno rađaju.

E This year, twelve feature-length and eight short documentary films compete for two Hearts of Sarajevo and two other valuable awards. While they clearly echo contemporary global tragedies, whether they are tales of family or of war, these works celebrate love as the moving force of life. It is of exceptional value that even the films that appear at first glance to be about family dynamics reveal the sociopolitical conditions of life in the communities in which they are set. We are especially pleased to host Hungarian Romani director Katalin Barsony once again. Her film I SAW A “SUNO” follows two decades in the life of a Romani family from Kosovo who were brutally expelled from Germany after living there for years. This and four other films will have their world premieres in Sarajevo, while another three will have their international premieres here.

It is exciting to follow the stylistic exploration some filmmakers have taken as they abandon the traditional narrative documentary form in favour of a non-linear, associative film language. All of this gives this year’s selection exceptional value. The programme also includes two films about artistic work and creation that explore the past of the former Yugoslavia: Croatian director Arsen Oremovic’s THIRD WORLD is about Haustor, the legendary band from Zagreb; while OHO, named after the art movement it examines, by Slovenian filmmaker Damjan Kozole is screening out of competition. The persistence and commitment of the filmmakers represented in the selection is impressive—some of them have dedicated nearly a decade to making their

films. DREAMERS: PEOPLE OF THE LIGHT, by Imam Hasanov from Azerbaijan—a film about an all-girls’ football team coach that takes a look at much more than just sport. It is the inner scream of a dreamer speaking about active resistance to tradition and social prejudice.

These filmmakers have produced excellent cinéma-vérité films that look as though the camera were absent from the documented reality of their collaborators. I say “Bravo!” to all who have succeeded in this, but will list just a few titles. Yegor Troyanovski’s CUBA&ALASKA details the saga of two female medics on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine. It is a film that examines the horrors of war, but that is also full of love and laughter. IN HELL WITH IVO, by Bulgaria’s Kristina Nikolova, looks at the struggles a musician faces with his micro and macro environments. In OUR TIME WILL COME, which had its premiere at the Berlinale, Ivette Locker, probably the most experienced filmmaker represented in the selection, delivers a story about the love between an African migrant and an Austrian woman that needs to overcome both prejudice and a rigid administrative system. The moving Romanian film DADY documents the attempt by Lina Vdovii (who co-directed the film with her husband, Radu Ciorniciuc) to reconnect with her father, who left Moldova and went to work in Italy. Once a violent bully, her father has become a victim of capitalist exploitation and is pleading for help. The Georgian film 9-MONTH CONTRACT is about the painful experience of a woman who earns her living and the fees for her daughter’s education by taking on a series of surrogate pregnancies. Director Ketvan Vashagashili followed the women’s story for nearly a decade. Dalija Dozet’s debut film

MY DAD’S LESSONS talks about the Croatian director’s father, who died prematurely. Dozet repeatedly watches hundreds of home-video cassettes in search of her father and his view on life. In his short poetic film KITE, Greek filmmaker Thanos Psichogios explores his relationship with his father, while Aysel Küçüksu from Bulgaria tries to express her love for her mother during a meeting documented in her film LETTERS. A sense of love and parental understanding also permeates I BELIEVE THE PORTRAIT SAVED ME, a complex film that uses interesting cinematic language by Kosovar director Alban Muja, premiered at Berlin Film Festival.

DIVIA by Dmytro Hreshko focuses on the aggressive destruction and poisoning of the natural

environment in wartime. It is a film in which no words are heard, but it speaks eloquently nevertheless, using the power of its impressive visuals and soundscape.

Another film employing unique cinematic language, MILITANTROPOS is an Austro-Ukrainian production—but it is solely Ukrainian in terms of its directors and its subject. Its trio of directors—Alina Gorlova, Semon Mozghovyii, and Yelizaveta Smith—employs an exceptionally creative cinematic language to explore how war penetrates and absorbs humans.. The film premiered at the Festival de Cannes.

With its exciting mix of archival footage, personal recollections, and passion for modern dance, Serbian director Marta Popivoda’s SLET 1988 returns to the spirit of a time of transition, big decisions, and drastic changes. Georgian auteur Mariam Khatchvani explores the position of women in society in her pointedly named THE MEN’S LAND. Nebojša Slijepčević takes the temperature of society in his RED SLID, politically significant and sociologically fascinating film.

To conclude, we can say that the quality of this year’s local and regional films is exceedingly high. BOSNIAN KNIGHT, directed by Tarik Hodžić and produced by Adnan Ćuhara, opens this year’s edition of the Documentary Competition. In an almost fairy-tale-like, visually romantic way, the film explores the origins of Bosnians. Two other selections from Bosnia and Herzegovina are Bojan Stojčić’s STEEL HOTEL SONG, a visual observation that borders on the meditative, and Mladen Bundalo’s EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE, YOU ARE BORN AGAIN, a contemplative and poetic reflection on the emotions that accompany the act of leaving one’s mother and family home.

As always, we think the auteurs from our region are very strong and have no doubt that they operate at the same level of quality as their global peers. In addition to this competition programme, we recommend to all film professionals the presentation of five top-notch regional projects in this year’s Docu Rough Cut Boutique sessions. New documentary film stars are born every day!

Bosanski vitez / Bosnian Knight

Tokom rata u Bosni Sead Delić pobjegao je na slobodnu teritoriju Srebrenice, gdje se pridružio vojsci i 1995. preživio genocid. Nakon rata odselio je u Ameriku i ispunio svoj dječački san da postane vozač kamiona. Uprkos činjenici da je izgradio novi život, prošlost nastavlja da ga proganja. U potrazi za odgovorima o vlastitom identitetu, uranja u historiju srednjovjekovne Bosne, posjećuje tvrđave, gradove i stećke. Ta strast njegovom životu daje novi smisao, a poštivanje bosanskog nasljeđa postaje njegova misija.

Tarik Hodžić studirao je režiju na Akademiji scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu. Od 1993. do 2002. godine radio je kao voditelj i muzički urednik na RTV Visoko i Radiju Q, gdje je stekao vrijedno iskustvo u medijskoj industriji. Od 2005. godine radi kao reditelj i montažer, sarađuje na brojnim medijskim kampanjama, reklamama i muzičkim spotovima.

E During the Bosnian War, Sead Delić escaped to the free territory of Srebrenica, where he served as a soldier and survived the 1995 genocide. After the war, he moved to the United States and fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a truck driver. Despite his new life, the past continued to haunt him. Seeking answers about his identity, he immersed himself in the history of medieval Bosnia, visiting fortresses, towns, and stećak tombstones. This passion gave his life new meaning and became his mission to honour Bosnia’s heritage.

Tarik Hodžić studied directing at the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo. From 1993 to 2003, he worked as a host and music editor at RTV Visoko and Radio Q, gaining valuable experience in the media industry.

Chartaetos / Zmaj / Kite

Veliki ponedjeljak. Panos, sada odrastao čovjek, vraća se običaju iz djetinjstva i prvi dan Vaskršnjeg posta u Grčkoj obilježava puštajući zmaja sa svojim ocem. Međutim, uspomene nikada nisu jednostavne. Zvuci, prizori i fragmenti prošlosti prepliću se kako bi obnovili vezu među njima.

Thanos Psichogios studirao je političke nauke na Univerzitetu u Atini i film na Filmskoj školi u Londonu. Svi njegovi kratki igrani filmovi i scenariji za dugometražne igrane filmove zasnovani su na slavnim djelima savremene grčke književnosti te su nagrađeni na brojnim međunarodnim filmskim festivalima.

E Clean Monday. Panos, now grown, returns to a childhood ritual—flying a kite with his father, a tradition that marks the start of Lent in Greece. Memories, however, are never simple. Sounds and images, fragments of the past, weave together to reconstruct their bond.

Thanos Psichogios studied political science at the University of Athens and filmmaking at the London Film School. All his fiction short films and feature film screenplays are adaptations of celebrated contemporary Greek literature and have received awards at international film festivals.

Cuba & Alaska / Cuba i Alaska

Najbolje prijateljice Cuba i Alaska duhovite su bolničarke na ukrajinskim linijama fronta. Dijele svakodnevnicu svih vojnika: što se duže bore za Ukrajinu, to više blijede i gube se njihove veze s prijateljima, porodicom i njihovom prošlošću. S ratom tako duboko ukorijenjenim u njima, mogu li se ikada vratiti svom starom životu?

Yegor Troyanovsky je ukrajinski reditelj, scenarista i filmski snimatelj. Njegov prvi dugometražni dokumentarac DEMON prikazan je na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Odesi i osvojio je nagradu FIPRESCI za najbolji film. Troyanovsky je jedan od kreatora odlično ocijenjene historijske dokumentarne serije KOLAPS: KAKO SU UKRAJNICI UNIŠTILI IMPERIJU ZLA. Trenutno je pripadnik specijalnih snaga ukrajinske vojske. Sa Cubom i Alaskom se upoznao dok je, u svojstvu novinara, pratio ruskoukrajinski rat. Film CUBA I ALASCA premijerno je prikazan u međunarodnom takmičarskom programu Festivala dokumentarnog filma u Sheffieldu.

E Best friends Cuba and Alaska, wisecracking medics on Ukraine’s front line, live the same battlefield story as all soldiers: the longer they stand up for Ukraine, the more their connections with friends, family, and their previous lives are interrupted and slowly get lost. With war so deeply rooted in them, can the two ever go back to the life they used to know?

Yegor Troyanovsky is a Ukrainian director, screenwriter, and cinematographer. His first full-length documentary film, DEMON, was selected for the Odesa International Film Festival and received the FIPRESCI Prize for Best Film. Troyanovsky is one of the creators of the critically acclaimed historical documentary series COLLAPSE: HOW UKRAINIANS DESTROYED THE EVIL EMPIRE. Currently a soldier in the Ukrainian Special Forces, Troyanovsky first came across the story of Cuba and Alaska as a journalist covering the Russo-Ukrainian War. CUBA & ALASKA had its premiere in Sheffield DocFest’s International Competition programme.

Divia

DIVIA je meditativno, zvučno putovanje ranjenom zemljom – portret Ukrajine prije, tokom i nakon invazije. Bez dijaloga i naracije, film se odvija kao metaforička simfonija u kojoj su geografski predjeli nijemi svjedoci razaranja i tihe izdržljivosti. Spaljene šume, izrovana polja i hrđajuće ratne mašine ispunjavaju kadar – svaka slika trag je nasilja urezan u tlo. Pa, čak i tada, priroda se ne zaustavlja. Godišnja doba se smjenjuju. Trava probija kroz spaljenu zemlju. Oporavak počinje, polako i uporno.

Dmytro Hreshko je ekološki aktivista, filmski snimatelj i reditelj. Njegov kratki film VRYATUYTE MENE, LIKARYU! osvojio je Nagradu za najbolji ukrajinski film na 14. izdanju Međunarodnog festivala kratkog filma „Wiz Art“ u Lavovu i Specijalnu nagradu žirija na Međunardonom filmskom festivalu „Molodist“ u Kijevu 2020. godine. Njegov prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film MIZH NEBOM TA HORAMY premijerno je prikazan na Festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Sheffieldu 2021. godine. DIVIA, njegov najnoviji film, premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu „Kristalni globus“ 59. izdanja Međunarodnog filmskog festivala Karlovy Vary.

E DIVIA is a meditative, sound-driven journey through a wounded land—an elemental portrait of Ukraine before, during, and beyond the full-scale invasion. Without dialogue or narration, the film unfolds as a metaphysical symphony, where landscapes bear silent testimony to destruction and quiet resilience. Ashen forests, cratered fields, and the rusting skeletons of war machines haunt the frame—each image a trace of the violence etched into the soil. Yet, even here, nature does not pause. Seasons return. Grass pushes through scorched earth. Regeneration begins—slowly, insistently.

Dmytro Hreshko is an eco-activist, cinematographer, and director. His short film SAVE ME, DOCTOR! received the award for Best Ukrainian Film of 2020 at the Lviv International Short Film Festival “Wiz Art” and a Special Jury Prize at the Kyiv International Film Festival “Molodist.” In 2021, MOUNTAINS AND HEAVEN IN BETWEEN, his first feature-length documentary film, had its premiere at Sheffield DocFest. DIVIA, his most recent documentary, premiered in the Crystal Globe Competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

In Hell with Ivo / U paklu s Ivom

Osoben scenski umjetnik i muzičar Ivo Dimčev ponikao je u Bugarskoj, zemlji toliko konzervativnoj da u njoj nije registrovan doslovno nijedan deklarirani homoseksualac. Iako niže uspjehe širom Evrope, Ivo želi ostati u domovini gdje uglavnom nailazi na osude. Uprkos tome što je HIV pozitivan, tokom pandemije koronavirusom nudio je ljudima da nastupa za njih u njihovim domovima i ostvario je preko četiri stotine takvih nastupa. Dimčev, kojeg je njegova porodica odbacila, poziva nas u svoj život i bez stida otkriva svoje najgore osobine poput narcizma, seksualne ovisnosti i konfrontirajuće prirode.

Kristina Nikolova napustila je Bugarsku kao osamnaestogodišnjakinja da bi studirala ekonomiju na Univerzitetu u Chicagu, ali je na kraju diplomirala teoriju filma. U Los Angelesu je nekoliko godina radila kao direktorica fotografije na filmovima B-produkcije, a potom je upisala studij filma u Umjetničkoj školi Tisch na Univerzitetu u New Yorku, gdje je režirala pet i snimila četrnaest nagrađivanih kratkih filmova. Njen dugometražni rediteljski prvenac FAITH, LOVE AND WHISKEY premijerno je prikazan na Slamdanceu 2012. godine i bio je nominovan za Nagradu za najbolji debitantski film Bugarske filmske akademije. Snimila je i producirala igrani film TOUCHED WITH FIRE, u kojem su glavne uloge ostvarili Katie Holmes i Luke Kriby, a producirao ga je Spike Lee. U PAKLU S IVOM premijerno je prikazan na DOK.Festu u Münchenu 2025. godine.

E From Bulgaria, a place so conservative that virtually no one is openly gay, emerges flamboyant performance artist and musician Ivo Dimchev. While he sees success all around Europe, he feels compelled to remain in his home country—the place where he is most judged. Despite being HIV-positive, he offers to perform in people’s homes when COVID hits and does so over 400 times. Rejected by his family, Dimchev invites us into his life and displays the worst of himself with no shame—embracing his narcissism, sex addiction, and confrontational nature.

Kristina Nikolova left Bulgaria at the age of 18 to study economics at the University of Chicago but ended up completing a BA in film theory instead. She worked for several years as a cinematographer on B movies in Los Angeles before attending the graduate programme at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she directed five and shot fourteen award-winning short films. Nikolova’s feature-length directorial debut, FAITH, LOVE AND WHISKEY, had its premiere at Slamdance in 2012 and was nominated for the Best Debut Feature Award by the Bulgarian Film Academy. She shot and produced TOUCHED WITH FIRE, a feature film starring Katie Holmes and Luke Kirby and produced by Spike Lee. IN HELL WITH IVO had its premiere at DOK.Fest München in 2025.

Kacebis mitsa / Zemlja za muškarce / The Men’s Land

Prema običajima planinske seoske zajednice Ushguli u Gruziji, porodice koje nemaju muške potomke, a kako bi očuvale porodično ime i lozu, svoju zemlju moraju ostaviti najbližem muškom srodniku. Film ZEMLJA ZA MUŠKARCE prati mladu pjevačicu u usponu tokom njene borbe da sačuva vlastitu imovinu uprkos arhaičnim lokalnim pravilima i običajima, pri čemu joj njena pjesma postaje bedem protiv poniženja.

Mariam Bakacho Khatchvani diplomirala je 2008. godine na Univerzitetu za pozorište i film Šota Rustaveli. Učestvovala je u brojnim programima za podršku filmskim stvaraocima u usponu karijere, među kojima se ističu Cinéfondacion residence de Cannes, Berlinale Talents, Locarno Academy, Sundance Lab i EAVE. Njen kratki film DINOLA iz 2013. godine prikazan je na više od tri stotine festivala, uključujući Clermnot-Ferrand festival, te je nominovan za nagradu Evropske filmske akademije. Njen debitantski dugometražni film DEDE osvojio je Nagradu publike na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu Karlovy Vary te nagradu UNESCO koju dodjeljuje Filmska akademija azijsko-pacifičke regije. ZEMLJA ZA MUŠKARCE, njen najnoviji kratki dokumentarac premijerno je prikazan u zvaničnom programu ovogodišnjeg Visions du Réel festivala.

E In the mountains of Georgia, Ushguli custom dictates that, in the absence of a son, a family’s land must be handed down to the next male relative who will perpetuate the family name. THE MEN’S LAND follows the journey of an aspiring singer as she fights for her property in the face of dated local rules and traditions, her song becoming a bulwark against humiliation.

Mariam Bakacho Khatchvani graduated from the Shota Rustaveli Theatre and Film University in 2008. She has participated in Cinéfondation residence in Cannes, Berlinale Talents, the Locarno Academy, the Sundance Lab, and EAVE, among other training programmes. Her short film DINOLA was screened at over 300 festivals, including the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, and was nominated for a European Film Award. DEDE, er debut feature-length film, won the Jury Prize at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and received the UNESCO Award at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards. THE MEN’S LAND, her most recent short documentary, had its premiere in the Official Selection of Visions du Réel in 2025.

Lekcije mog tate / My Dad’s Lessons

LEKCIJE MOG TATE je filmski esej koji se bavi odnosom rediteljice i njenog pokojnog tate. Iza tate je ostalo više stotina sati snimljenog materijala — od porodičnih snimaka, snimaka grada Osijeka od osamdesetih do njegove smrti, do snimaka s putovanja. Gledajući danas sve te snimke nastale tokom njegovog života, rediteljica Dalija pokušava proniknuti i ponovno razumjeti njihov odnos, izreći tati sve što do sada nije.

Dalija Dozet diplomirala je režiju igranog filma na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Kao rediteljica i scenaristica aktivna je na različitim autorskim i komercijalnim filmskim projektima svih dužina te u filmskoj edukaciji. Predsjednica je Kinokluba Zagreb i pokretačica Filmske RUNDE u Osijeku. Za dokumentarni film LEKCIJE MOG TATE osvojila je Veliki pečat na ovogodišnjem ZagrebDox festivalu.

E MY DAD’S LESSONS is a film essay that explores the relationship between director Dalija Dozet and her late father. When he died, he left behind hundreds of hours of recorded material—including footage of his family, recordings of the city of Osijek, Croatia, from the 1980s until his death, and imaged of the family’s travels around the world. Watching all these recordings created during her father’s lifetime, Dozet delves into and attempts to understand their relationship anew, expressing everything she hasn’t said to him until now.

Militantropos

MILITANTROPIS prikazuje ljudsko stanje kroz prizmu fragmentirane stvarnosti ruske invazije na Ukrajinu. Film sklapa priču o svakodnevnici ljudi transformisanih ratom – onih koji bježe, onih koji gube sve i onih koji ostaju i bore se – potcrtavajući njihov nagon za preživljavanjem i potrebu za bliskošću. Rat apsorbira ljude okružene razaranjem i zločinima te tako i sam postaje dio čovjeka.

Yelizaveta Smith je režirala dokumentarni film SCHOOL NUMBER 3 zajedno s Georgom Genouxom. Film je osvojio je Veliku nagradu programa “Generacija 14plus” na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2017. godine.

Alina Gorlova diplomirala je na Kijevskom nacionalnom univerzitetu za teatar, film i televiziju „Karpenko-Kary“. Njen dokumentarni film NO OBVIOUS SIGNS osvojio je MDR nagradu za najbolji istočnoevropski film na festivalu DokLeipzig.

Simon Mozgovyi studirao je filmsku i televizijsku umjetnost na Državnoj akademiji za kulturu u Harkovu, a potom je pohađao napredni kurs dramaturgije u Kijevu, gdje je započeo i svoju glumačku karijeru.

E MILITANTROPOS captures the human condition through the fractured realities of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The film pieces together everyday lives transformed by war—the lives of those who flee, those who lose everything, and those who stay to resist and fight—tracing both the instinct to survive and the need for closeness. Amid devastation and atrocity, the human is absorbed into war— and war, in turn, becomes part of the human.

Yelizaveta Smith co-directed a documentary SCHOOL NUMBER 3 with Georg Genoux, which won the Grand Prix of the Generation 14plus programme at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2017. Alina Gorlova graduated from Karpenko- Kary Kyiv National University of Theatre, Film & Television. Her documentary NO OBVIOUS SIGNS won the MDR film award for Best Eastern European Film at DokLeipzig.

Simon Mozgovyi studied Cinema and Television Arts at the Kharkiv State Academy of Culture, and then went on to study an advanced-level course in dramaturgy in Kyiv, where he began acting.

Mua besoj më shpëtoj portreti / Vjerujem da me portret spasio / I Believe the Portrait Saved Me

Dvadeset pet godina nakon otmice tokom rata na Kosovu, slikar Skender Muja prisjeća se ključnog momenata koji mu je omogućio da preživi. Tokom zarobljeništva u logoru, naređeno mu je da naslika portret srpskog zapovjednika kako bi spasio svoj život. Kroz prisjećanja i uprizorenje tadašnjih događaja, film VJERUJEM DA ME PORTRET SPASIO preispituje moć umjetnosti u susretu sa ugnjetavanjem i neizvjesnošću.

Alban Muja je kosovski vizuelni umjetnik i filmski stvaralac koji živi na potezu između Prištine i Berlina. Videoinstalacijom PORODIČNI ALBUM, studijom doživljaja iskorijenjenosti i identiteta, predstavljao je Kosovo na 58. izdanju Venecijanskog bijenala. Njegov najnoviji kratki dokumentarac VJERUJEM DA ME PORTRET SPASIO premijerno je prikazan u programu Forum Expanded ovogodišnjeg Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E Twenty-five years after he was abducted during the Kosovo War, painter Skender Muja recalls a crucial moment of survival. Held in a detention camp, he was ordered to draw a portrait of a Serbian commander to save his life. Through reflections and re-enactments, I BELIEVE THE PORTRAIT SAVED ME explores the power of art in the face of oppression and uncertainty.

Alban Muja is a Kosovan visual artist and filmmaker who spends his time between Prishtina and Berlin. Muja represented the Republic of Kosovo at the 58th Venice Biennale with “Family Album,” a project exploring displacement and identity. His most recent short documentary film, I BELIEVE THE PORTRAIT SAVED ME, had its premiere in the Forum Expanded programme at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2025.

Pisma / Letters

Koliko sebe ostavljamo u riječima koje smo namijenili drugima? Majka i kćerka pronalaze pisma koja su jedna drugoj pisale prije više od decenije. Mogu li se suočiti s istinama koje su svojevremeno dijelile?

Slet 1988

U filmu SLET 1988 sedamdesetčetverogodišnja plesačica Sonja Vukičević kreće se kroz socijalističkomodernističke prostore, a njeno tijelo služi kao arhiv posljednje masovne predstave bivše Jugoslavije. Njeni pokreti kriju odjek ritmova prošlosti i sadašnju stvarnost, a u prepletu s dnevničkim zapisima tinejdžerice iz 1988. godine otkrivaju prelaz od socijalističkog kolektivizma do rastućeg individualizma i prikradanja novog nacionalnog kolektiviteta, koji će nedugo zatim oblikovati budućnost zemlje.

Marta Popivoda je rediteljica, videoumjetnica i istraživačica koja živi i radi na relaciji između Beograda i Berlina. Njen prvi dugometražni dokumentarac JUGOSLAVIJA, KAKO JE IDEOLOGIJA POKRETALA NAŠE KOLEKTIVNO TIJELO premijerno je prikazan na 63. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. Njen film PEJZAŽI OTPORA premijerno je prikazan na 50. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Rotterdamu 2021. godine i dobitnik je Srca Sarajeva za najbolji dokumentarni film. Njen najnoviji film SLET 1988 premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu.

E Seventy-four-year-old dancer Sonja Vukićević moves through socialist-modernist spaces, her body is an archive of the last mass performance in Yugoslavia. Her gestures echo past rhythms and present realities, intertwining with a teenage girl’s diary from 1988 to reveal the shift from socialist collectivism to rising individualism, while a new national collective body is creeping in and will soon shape the future of the country.

Marta Popivoda is a filmmaker, video artist, and researcher living and working between Belgrade and Berlin. Her first feature-length documentary, YUGOSLAVIA, HOW IDEOLOGY MOVED OUR COLLECTIVE BODY, had its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2013. Her documentary LANDSCAPES OF RESISTANCE premiered in competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2021 and won the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Documentary. Her most recent documentary, SLET 1988, premiered in competition at the Locarno Film Festival.

Suno Dikhlem / Vidio sam “Suno” / I Saw a

“Suno”

Nasmir, najmlađi od trojice braće, rođen je u Njemačkoj gdje su njegovi roditelji Romi pobjegli od rata na Kosovu. Znao je samo za siguran život dok jednoga dana njemačka policija nije došla da njega, njegovog brata i njihovu majku vrate na Kosovo. Poslani u ruiniran izbjeglički kamp na sjeveru poslijeratnog Kosova, prisiljeni su živjeti bez struje i pitke vode, u ledenoj hladnoći zemlje koju Nasmir nikada nije upoznao. U kampu dvanaest ljudi dijele jednu sobu. Ono što uslijedi nije samo egzil već gubitak identiteta, budućnosti i doma.

Katalin Bársony je rediteljica i izvršna direktorica produkcijske kompanije BAXT Films. Također je i izvršna direktorica Fondacije Romedia koja promoviše samopredstavljanje Roma na filmu. Njeni istaknuti radovi uključuju informativnu televizijsku seriju MUNDI ROMANI, koja se emitovala od 2007. do 2011. godine, a pratila je priče romskih zajednica širom svijeta. Njen film KITASZÍTOTTAK uvršten je u program 8. izdanja Al Jazeera međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma 2010. godine. Bila je kustosica filmskog segmenta RomArhiv projekta 2018. godine. Njen prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film CSILLAGFÉNY TÁVOLSÁG premijerno je prikazan na CineFestu 2019. godine.

E Nasmir, the youngest of three brothers, was born in Germany to Roma parents who fled the war in Kosovo. He knew only safety—until the day police came to repatriate his brother, his mother, and himself. Sent to a ruined refugee camp in post-war northern Kosovo, they found no power and no clean drinking water—only the bitter cold of a country Nasmir had never known. Twelve people shared a single room. What followed was not just exile, but a loss of identity, of future, of home.

Katalin Bársony is a director and the CEO of BAXT Films. She is also Executive Director of the Romedia Foundation, which promotes Roma self-representation through film. Bársony’s notable work includes MUNDI ROMANI (2007–2011), a television news series that showcases stories of Roma communities around the world. In 2010, UPROOTED was presented at the Al Jazeera International Documentary Film Festival. She curated the film section of the RomArchive project in 2018. Her first feature-length documentary, HOW FAR THE STARS, had its premiere at CineFest in 2019.

Svaki put kad odeš, ponovo se rađaš / Every Time You Leave, You Are Born Again

Hipnotički, brundavi zvuk motora odjekuje, popraćen žamorom iz autobusa. Intimni glas autora vodi nas kroz njegov unutrašnji monolog. Na putu smo za Prijedor, njegov rodni grad i mjesto stalnih odlazaka. Prije nego što stignemo na odredište, moramo shvatiti da je odlazak prostor u kojem se možemo razvijati i ponovo roditi.

Mladen Bundalo je interdisciplinarni umjetnik, filmski stvaralac i autor bosanskog porijekla, trenutno nastanjen u Briselu. Njegova djela prikazana su i predstavljena na više od pedeset međunarodnih filmskih i video festivala, poput Međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu, Međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma Ji.hlava, festivala Go Short u Nijmegenu, festivala Vidéographies21, Sarajevo Film Festivala i festivala Punto de Vista. Njegov najnoviji dokumentarni film SVAKI PUT KAD ODEŠ, PONOVO SE RAĐAŠ premijerno je prikazan na festivalu Vision du Réel, gdje je osvojio Specijalnu nagradu žirija.

E The hypnotic, purring sound of a motor resonates, accompanied by the rumble from inside a bus. The director’s intimate voice leads us through an inner monologue. We are on our way to Prijedor, his Bosnian hometown, the site of his perpetual departures. Before arriving, we have first to understand departure as a space in which we can grow and be born again.

Mladen Bundalo is an interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker, and author of Bosnian origin, currently based in Brussels.

Nakon dugotrajne otuđenosti od oca koji, kao imigrant, živi i radi u Italiji, moldavska novinarka Lina od njega prima videoporuku u kojoj se jasno vide modrice na njegovim rukama. Opremivši ga skrivenom kamerom kako bi mu pomogla da dođe do pravde, rediteljica se nađe na paralelnom putu razotkrivanja historijata porodičnog nasilja koje generacijama prati njenu porodicu. Sniman širom Italije, Moldavije i Rumunije, film TATA je iskren portret porodice osuđene na bespoštednu borbu protiv toksične muškosti.

Lina Vdovîi je književnica, novinarka i producentica rođena u Moldaviji, a trenutno nastanjena u Rumuniji. Objavljivala je tekstove u vodećim domaćim i međunarodnim publikacijama i dobitnica je Evropske novinarske nagrade. Scenaristica je filma Radua Ciorniciusa ACASA, MOJ DOM. Film TATA njen je dugometražni rediteljski prvenac. Radu Ciorniciuc je rumunski filmski autor, snimatelj i istraživački novinar. Njegov rediteljski dugometražni debi ACASĂ, MOJ DOM osvojio je nagradu za najbolju kameru na Sundance festivalu 2020. godine i bio nominovan za nagradu Evropske filmske akademije. Film TATA premijerno je prikazan u programu Lightbox ovogodišnjeg Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Torontu.

E After years of estrangement, Lina Vdovîi, a Moldovan journalist, hears from her father, a migrant worker in Italy. The message comes in the form of a video, in which he shows the bruises on his arms. Equipping him with a hidden camera so he may find justice, the director finds herself on a parallel journey, as she uncovers a pattern of domestic violence that has plagued her family for generations. Filmed across Italy, Moldova, and Romania, TATA is a raw portrait of a family locked in a relentless struggle against toxic masculinity.

Lina Vdovîi is a writer, journalist, and producer from Moldova who is now based in Romania. Her articles have been published in major national and international outlets, and her work has been nominated for the European Press Prize.

Treći svijet / Third World

TREĆI SVIJET je više od dokumentarnog filma o Haustoru – legendarnom zagrebačkom bendu koji je oblikovao muzičku scenu bivše Jugoslavije. To je priča o dvije kreativne suprotnosti: Darku Rundeku i Srđanu Sacheru. Kroz prodorne opservacije, novo okupljanje u studiju i živopisnu arhivu, film otkriva kako je u jednom trenutku zajednička sklonost magiji svakodnevnice spojila ta dva kreativna svijeta da stvore treći.

Arsen Oremović diplomirao je filmsku i televizijsku režiju na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Dvadeset pet godina radio je kao novinar i filmski kritičar u „Večernjem listu“. Debitovao je 2013. godine dokumentarnim filmom U BRAKU SA ŠVICARCEM, nagrađenim u kategoriji Human Rights na Sarajevo Film Festivalu i Velikom nagradom na Vukovar Film Festivalu. Godine 2022. režirao je dugometražni igrani film GLAVA VELIKE RIBE, dobitnika Zlatne arene u Puli za glavnu žensku ulogu i Zlatnog Oriona za najboljeg glavnog glumca. Autor je i nekoliko zapaženih dokumentarnih serija: NESREĆA, HRVATSKO RATNO ZRAKOPLOVSTVO: POSTANAK i KLASIČNA GLAZBA ZA SVAKI DAN.

E This is more than just a documentary film about Haustor, the legendary band from Zagreb that helped shape the music scene of the former Yugoslavia. It is also a story about creative opposites: Darko Rundek and Srđan Sacher. Through sharp observations, a reunion in a music studio, and colourful archive footage, THIRD WORLD reveals how at one moment a shared propensity for the magic of daily life brought those two creative worlds together to create a third world.

Arsen Oremović graduated from studies in film and television directing from the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. For a quarter of a century, he worked as a journalist and film critic for the “Večernji List” newspaper. His directorial debut, MARRIED TO THE SWISS FRANC, won the Human Rights Award at the Sarajevo Film Festival and the Grand Prix at the Vukovar Film Festival. In 2022, Oremović directed the feature-length narrative film THE HEAD OF A BIG FISH, which won the Golden Arena for Best Actress and the Golden Orion for Best Actor at the Pula Film Festival. He is the creator of several notable documentary series, namely DISASTER; CROATIAN WAR AVIATION: GENESIS; and CLASSICAL MUSIC FOR EVERY DAY.

/ Our Time Will Come

“Rasizam je bolest. Bolest ljudskog društva. Bolest koju nikada nećemo izliječiti. Osim ako ne iskoristimo svoju moć da zaustavimo njeno širenje.” Nakon godina neizvjesnosti provedenih u prisilnom egzilu, Gambijac Siaka i njegova supruga Victoria vraćaju se u svoju “domovinu” Austriju kako bi izgradili ekonomski stabilan život i osnovali porodicu. Oboje ulažu mnogo energije u ostvarenje zajedničke utopije, ali suočavaju se s velikim kulturnim razlikama, okoštalim društvenim strukturama i teškim izazovom da se odreknu vlastite historije i običaja. Rediteljica Ivette Löcker godinu dana pratila je ovaj mladi par, prisiljen savladati određen nivo otpora kako bi ostvarili čežnju za bezbrižnom ljubavlju i osjećajem pripadanja.

Ivette Löcker magistrirala je slavistiku, istočnoevropsku historiju i sociologiju na Univerzitetu u Beču. Filmsku karijeru započela je kao istraživačica, menadžerica produkcije i pomoćnica režije na dokumentarnim i igranim filmovima. Vlastite dokumentarce počela je snimati 2006. godine. Njen najnoviji dokumentarni film DOĆI ĆE NAŠE VRIJEME premijerno je prikazan u selekciji Forum ovogodišnjeg Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E “Racism is a sickness. A sickness for the human society. A sickness that will never cure. Unless you use your power to stop it.” After years of uncertainty and involuntary exile, Siaka from Gambia and his wife Victoria have returned to their adopted “homeland” of Austria to build a stable existence and start a family. Both invest a large part of their energy in achieving their shared utopia, but cultural differences remain significant, social structures remain immobile, and their own history and traditions are just as hard to shake off. For over a year, director Ivette Löcker accompanies the couple, whose longing for carefree love and the feeling of arrival are not being fulfilled without meeting a certain amount of resistance.

Ivette Löcker earned an MA in Slavic Studies, East European History, and Sociology from the University of Vienna. She began her film career as a researcher, production manager, and assistant director on documentary and narrative films, and has been making her own documentaries since 2006. OUR TIME WILL COME, her most recent film, had its premiered in the Forum programme of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2025.

U Šekiju, izolovanom azerbajdžanskom gradu, bivši fudbaler Mamed sanja da pokrene prvi fudbalski tim za djevojčice u državi. To je hrabra ideja u duboko konzervativnoj zajednici gdje je uobičajeno da djevojčice rano stupaju u brak. Uprkos odlučnoj podršci njegove supruge Svetlane, Mamedov cilj u startu se čini nedostižnim. Situaciju dodatno komplikuje prisustvo dvoje svemirskih putnika u posjeti gradu koji su naizgled veoma zainteresovani da se uključe. Kada lokalne djevojčice počnu trenirati fudbal, prisiljene su da se suoče s rastućim otporom društva koje nije spremno prigrliti promjene. Međutim, sa svakim treningom i svakom utakmicom, tiha revolucija raste.

Imam Hasanov je filmski autor i pozorišni reditelj iz Bakua. Osnovao je nezavisnu produkcijsku kompaniju Free Art, fokusiranu na kreativne dokumentarce i arthouse filmove. Također je i osnivač i direktor Međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma DokuBaku. Hasanov je 2018. godine pokrenuo Çıxış, alternativno kino i pozorište u u Bakuu. Dvije godine kasnije pokrenuo je Doklad iSchool. Njegov proslavljeni dugometražni dokumentarni prvenac SVETA KRAVA premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu „Prvo pojavljivanje“ Međunarodnog festivala dokumentarnog filma u Amsterdamu. Njegov najnoviji dokumentarac SANJARI: LJUDI SVJETLOSTI imao je premijeru na Festivalu dokumentarnog filma u u Sheffieldu.

E In Sheki, a remote town in Azerbaijan, former footballer Mamed dreams of organising the country’s first all-girls’ football team—a bold idea in a deeply traditional community for which early marriage is the norm. The unwavering support of his wife Svetlana notwithstanding, at first Mamed’s vision seems impossible. It’s made all the stranger by the presence of two visiting space travellers, who appear keen to become involved. As local girls start their training, they face mounting resistance from a society not quite ready to embrace change. But with each practice and every game, a quiet revolution grows.

Imam Hasanov is a filmmaker and theatre director from Baku. He is the founder of Free Art, an independent production company focused on creative documentaries and art-house cinema. He is also the founder and director of the DokuBaku International Documentary Film Festival. In 2018, Hasanov launched Çıxış, an alternative cinema-theatre space in Baku.

OHO Film

Sloveniju – jednu od republika socijalističke Jugoslavije – u periodu od 1965. do 1971. godine obilježila je avangardna umjetnička grupa poznata pod imenom OHO grupa. Inspirisala je i nastavlja da inspiriše brojne umjetnike, među kojima i Marinu Abramović. OHO se smatra jednim od najfascinantnijih, najkompleksnijih i najznačajnijih primjera poslijeratne avangardne umjetnosti u centralnoj i istočnoj Evropi. Ovaj dokumentarni film, koji obiluje nikada ranije viđenim snimcima, prvi je sveobuhvatan prikaz ovog inspirativnog fenomena u kome se prepliću umjetnost i život.

Damjan Kozole rođen je 1964. godine u Sloveniji. Proslavljeni je filmski autor, a prvi dugometražni film snimio je kada je imao dvadeset dvije godine. Njegov niskobudžetni debitantski film FATALNI TELEFON bio je jedan od prvih nezavisnih filmova snimljenih u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Kozole je 2004. godine bio jedan od 23 evropska reditelja koji su radili na omnibusu VISIONS OF EUROPE. Američki filmski institut 2005. godine organizovao je retrospektivu njegovih dugometražnih filmova. Njegov film REZERVNI DIJELOVI nominovan je za Zlatnog medvjeda na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. Kozole je renomirani autor dokumentarnih filmova poput ULAY: PROJEKT RAK i PERO.

E The period from 1965 to 1971 in Slovenia—then a republic of socialist Yugoslavia—was marked by the avant-garde art group known as the OHO Group, which has inspired and continues to inspire many artists, including Marina Abramović. OHO is regarded as one of the most fascinating, complex, and significant examples of post-war avant-garde art in Central and Eastern Europe. This documentary film, rich in never-before-seen materials, comprehensively presents this inspiring phenomenon of intertwining art and life for the first time.

Damjan Kozole was born in Slovenia in 1964. He is an acclaimed filmmaker who made his first feature-length work at the age of 22. His low-budget debut, THE FATAL TELEPHONE, was one of the first independent films made in the former Yugoslavia. In 2004, Kozole participated in making the international omnibus film VISIONS OF EUROPE together with twenty-four other European directors. In 2005, a retrospective of his feature-length films was hosted by the American Film Institute. His film SPARE PARTS was nominated for a Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2003, while he took the Best Director Award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2016 for NIGHTLIFE. His hybrid documentary PERO was selected for the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2023. Kozole is also the respected director of many documentary films, among then ULAY: PROJECT CANCER and PERO.

Uvod / Introduction

Ovogodišnji Takmičarski program za Srce Sarajeva za najbolji kratki film donosi deset izvanrednih ostvarenja. Program, pored etabliranih autora koji su publici Sarajevo Film Festivala dobro poznati, okuplja svježe debitante. Selekcija donosi hrabre i smjele pristupe – kako u sadržaju tako i u formi.

Srpski reditelj Stefan Ivančić predstavlja film KAD SVANE, premijerno prikazan u Rotterdamu, koji prati samohranu majku (Milica Janevski) koja, nakon gubitka posla, pribjegava malim online prevarama kako bi prehranila sina. Socijalna drama duboko ukorijenjena u srpsku stvarnost, ali s univerzalnim odjekom. Rumunski reditelj Vasile Tondica donosi ALIȘVERIȘ o Tatiani, nezaposlenoj ženi koja prodaje stvari kako bi preživjela, razmatrajući i prodaju dijela vlastitog tijela. Film koristi vibrantnu estetiku, barokne motive i Mozartovu muziku za stvaranje kritičkog tona. Premijerno je prikazan u Cannesu u „Sedmici kritike“, baš kao i bugarski film ERASERHEAD U PLETENOM CEKERU rediteljice Lili Koss koji prati djevojčicu Ro koja pokušava nabaviti piratski VHS Lynchovog klasika. Poluautobiografska priča i omaž kinematografiji 1990-ih.

Mađarski reditelj Bálint Kenyeres vraća se filmom SPEKTAKL, pričom o romskom dječaku koji postaje medijska senzacija. Film istražuje identitet i cijenu slave kroz upečatljive vizuale i neprofesionalne glumce. ZIMA U MARTU Natalije Mirzoyan donosi animiranu lutkarsku priču o ruskom paru koji bježi iz zemlje početkom rata u Ukrajini. Putem nadrealnih slika film progovara o raseljenosti i emotivnoj fragmentaciji.

Kosovski film BERNINE OČI, psihološki triler o traumi i sjećanju reditelja Ermala Gerdovcija, odvija se u maglovitoj noći dok Berna pokušava razriješiti bol i bijes kroz osvetu. Dušan Zorić i Matija Gluščević donose HISTERIČNI NAPAD SMIJEHA, film o ženi u destruktivnim odnosima i sinu koji pokušava intervenisati. Glavnu ulogu igra Snježana Sinovčić Šiškov. PUSTINJA, ONA, film Ioanne Digenaki, koji će imati svjetsku premijeru u okviru programa, od narativnog početka prelazi u atmosferičnu i senzualnu meditaciju o ženstvenosti tokom vrelog ljeta. Etablirani rumunski reditelj Radu Muntean donosi INDEX, hipnotički film bez dijaloga o susretu dvojice muškaraca u šumi, evocirajući udaljenost između čovjeka i prirode. Premijerno je prikazan u Locarnu. Iz Turske dolazi film PROCEDURA Rabije Özme, ironična priča o zatvoreniku koji suprugu moli da preskoči jedan strogi postupak u posjeti. Film o značaju malih stvari, s dozom humora.

Ova raznolika selekcija kratkih filmova, koja uključuje tri svjetske premijere, pokazuje hrabro pripovijedanje kako mladih talenata tako i renomiranih autora. Snažnom mješavinom socijalnih drama, psiholoških trilera i inovativnih narativa, program hvata duh savremenog trenutka i univerzalna ljudska iskustva. Publika može očekivati snažno filmsko putovanje koje pomjera granice kako tematski, tako i stilski.

E This year, ten exceptional films compete for the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Short Film. The line-up brings together debut directors and seasoned auteurs who are no strangers to Sarajevo Film Festival audiences. The programme includes films that are brave and daring in terms of their content and their form.

Serbian director Stefan Ivančić presents UPON SUNRISE, which had its premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. The film follows a single mother (Milica Janekevski) who, after losing her job, turns to petty online swindles to earn sustenance for her son. This social drama is deeply rooted in Serbian reality but has universal appeal. Romanian director Vasile Tondica presents ALIȘVERIȘ, a film about an unemployed woman who sells her belongings—and considers selling her body parts— to survive. Tondica’s film employs vibrant aesthetics, baroque motifs, and Mozart’s music to set a critical tone. The film had its premiere in La Semaine de la Critique at Festival de Cannes, as did Bulgarian director Lili Koss’s Eraserhead in a Knitted Shopping Bag, which follows a girl as she attempts to purchase a pirated VHS copy of David Lynch’s classic. Koss’s film is a semi-autobiographical homage to 1990s cinema.

Hungarian director Bálint Kenyeres returns to Sarajevo with THE SPECTACLE, a film about a Romani boy who becomes a media sensation. The film explores issues of identity and the price of glory through impactful visuals and a non-professional cast. WINTER IN MARCH by Natalia Mirzoyan is an animated film that uses dolls to tell the story of a Russian couple fleeing their home country at the start of the war in Ukraine. Through surreal images, the film speaks about displacement and emotional fragmentation.

A psychological thriller about trauma and remembrance, the Kosovar film BERNA’S EYES by Ermal Gerdovici takes place during a foggy night as a woman attempts to resolve her pain and anger through revenge. Dušan Zorić and Matija Gluščević contribute HYSTERICAL FIT OF LAUGHTER, with Snježana Sinovčić Šiškov in the lead role, the story of a woman, who engages in destructive relationships, and her son, who tries to intervene. Ioanna Digenaki’s DESERT, SHE has its world premiere in the programme. After its narrative opening, the film turns into an atmospheric and sensual meditation on summertime femininity. Established Romanian director Radu Muntean presents INDEX, a hypnotic film without dialogue about the meeting of two men in a forest that evokes the distance between men and Nature. The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival. Arriving from Türkiye, Rabija Özmen’s PROCEDURE is an ironic film about a prisoner who asks his wife to ignore a strict element of the procedure regulating jail visits. With a dose of humour, the film addresses the significance we place on trivial things.

This diverse selection of short films, including three that have their world premieres in the programme, highlights brave storytelling by talented directors whether young or established. With a heady mix of social dramas, psychological thrillers, and innovative narrative films, the competition films capture the spirit of the moment and universal human experiences. Audiences can expect a powerful film voyage that moves thematic and stylistic borders.

FILMOGRAFIJA / FILMOGRAPHY: 2025 – ERASERHEAD IN A KNITTED SHOPPING BAG (kratki film / short film)

Tokom dugog, ljepljivog ljeta u istočnoj Evropi, kasnih devedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća, dvanaestogodišnja Ro kreće u potragu za piratskom kopijom filma Davida Lyncha ERASERHEAD. Potraga koja uključuje prijateljstva u fazi raspada, ukradene cigarete i igre moći VHS-ere odvija se u svijetu u kojem djetinjstvo potiho prerasta u nešto drugo, a filmska umjetnost jedina je raspoloživa mogućnost bijega.

Lili Koss je scenaristica i rediteljica, rođena u Sofiji, trenutno nastanjena u Berlinu. Studirala je film na Novom bugarskom univerzitetu. Njen debitantski kratki film ERASERHEAD U PLETENOM CEKERU premijerno je prikazan u programu „Sedmica kritike“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu.

E In a slow, sticky summer in late-1990s Eastern Europe, twelve-year-old Ro sets out to procure a pirated copy of David Lynch’s ERASERHEAD. Her journey—through crumbling friendships, stolen cigarettes, and VHS-era power games—unfolds in a world where childhood slips quietly into something else, and cinema becomes the only available glimpse of escape.

Lili Koss is a Berlin-based writer and director, originally from Sofia. She studied film at the New Bulgarian University. Her debut short film, ERASERHEAD IN A KNITTED SHOPPING BAG, had its premiere in La Semaine de la Critique at the Festival de Cannes.

Nakon što se proširi glas o njegovom neobičnom daru, romski dječak dobija ulogu u televizijskom prilogu. Kako očekivanja rastu, njegov tihi talent suočen je s oštrim okom medija. Uslijedit će tiho razotkrivanje kako njega tako i ljudi koji ga okružuju.

Nove vizure: Jedanaest priča o pripadanju / New Visions: Eleven Stories about Belonging

Takmičarski program – Studentski film ove godine obuhvata jedanaest naslova nastalih na regionalnim filmskim školama: pet svjetskih, pet regionalnih i jednu međunarodnu premijeru. I ove godine fokus je na mladim autorima i autoricama iz regije čije filmove odlikuju autentičan rukopis, suvereno baratanje filmskim jezikom, pronicljiv pogled na svijet, ali i blagonaklonost i empatija prema ljudskom biću. Goruća želja za prepoznavanjem i pripadanjem, kao i potreba za utjehom i bliskošću, u fokusu su ovogodišnje selekcije.

POLICIJSKI SAT ukrajinske rediteljice Yelyzavete Toptyhine i DOM, PROSTOR IZMEĐU NAS grčke rediteljice Effi Rabsilber, dvije intimne i suptilno nijansirane duo-drame, s prostorom kao trećim likom, najeksplicitnije govore o osjećaju usamljenosti i potrebe za kontaktom s drugim, nepoznatim ljudskim bićem. Animirani film WISH YOU WERE EAR mađarske rediteljice Mirjane Balogh, premijerno prikazan u Berlinu, kroz snažan prizvuk tjelesnosti istražuje potrebu za bliskošću.

O ratnoj traumi, boli i roditeljskoj ljubavi, kroz prizmu magijskog realizma, govori film RAHLO hrvatskog reditelja Joze Shmucha. Film TARIK Adema Tutića je još jedan film o odnosu roditelja i djece, česte teme u studentskom

filmu, a specifičnost ovog filma je što nam otkriva kontekst Sandžaka kao specifične zajednice koja je veoma malo prisutna u kinematografiji ovih prostora.

Rumunski reditelj Marius Papara vraća se u Studentski program filmom POSLIJE NASTAVE, atmosferičnom dramom o dva dječaka i jednoj ukletoj učionici. Turski film LEĐNO PLIVANJE rediteljice Asye Gunen, otkriva ranjivu junakinju kojoj jedan nemotivisani incident potpuno uništava samopouzdanje i ugrožava njenu plivačku karijeru, a fragilnost čovjekovog dostojanstva centralna je tema i austrijskog filma FOUND&LOST reditelja Reza Rasoulija.

ŽIVO KAMENJE, film mađarskog reditelja i alumnija Sarajevo Talentsa Jakoba Ladánya Jancsóa, premijerno prikazan na festivalu u Berlinu, također tretira traumu i njene manifestacije, direktno i snažno. Porodična drama MLIJEKO I KEKSI reditelja Andreja Tache-Codreanua, koji je premijeru imao u ovogodišnjoj La Cinef selekciji, donosi komično olakšanje u selekciju, a odmah nakon premijere u Locarnu, regionalnu premijeru u programu će imati film POLUOTOK Davida Gaše, snimljen u jednom kadru. S posebnim senzibilitetom za prirodu, uviđajući čovjeka kao njen integralni dio, kao i istančanim osjećajem za ritam, ovaj film, premda se tematski uklapa

Asja Krsmanović

u ovogodišnji fokus, predstavlja jedan zanimljiv odmak u selekciji.

Studentska produkcija je veoma vibrantna, aktivno odgovara na izazove svijeta u kojem nastaje i hrabro se suočava s diskriminacijom, traumom, odjecima rata i svim ostalim izazovima trenutka u kojem živimo, istovremeno donoseći nove vizure i nadu u svijetlu budućnost europske kinematografije.

E This year, the Student Film Competition presents eleven films by regional film students, all of them premieres: five world, five regional, and one international. In keeping with its tradition, the programme focuses on young auteurs from our region who are distinguished by their authenticity, their confident mastery of cinematic language, and their perceptive view of the world, as well as their benevolence and empathy for humanity. A burning desire for recognition and a sense of belonging, as well as for consolation and intimacy, are notable themes in the line-up this year.

CURFEW, by Ukrainian director Yelyzaveta Toptyhina, and HOME, A SPACE BETWEEN US, by Greek director Effi Rabsiber, are intimate and

nuanced duo dramas with their settings as third characters. Both films speak explicitly about a sense of loneliness and the need for contact with another, unknown human being. WISH YOU WERE EAR, an animated film by Mirjana Balogh from Hungary that had its premiere in the Berlin International Film Festival, researches the need for intimacy through its strong corporal overtones.

Croatian director Jozo Schmuch’s SHALLOW GROUND looks at pain and parental love through the prism of magic realism, while TARIK by Adem Tutić is also about the relationship between children and parents. While this is a common topic of student films, TARIK is notable in that it is set in Sandžak, a unique community underrepresented in regional cinema.

Romanian director Marius Papara returns to the competition with AFTER CLASS, an atmospheric drama about two boys and one cursed classroom. The Turkish film BACKSTROKE, directed by Asya Gunen, introduces a vulnerable protagonist whose confidence is destroyed and whose swimming career is jeopardised by a random incident, while the fragility of human dignity is the central theme of FOUND&LOST by Austrian director Reza Rasouli.

LIVING STONES, by Hungarian director and Talents Sarajevo alum Jakob Ladányi Jancsó, which had its premiere in the Berlinale, also deals with trauma and its manifestations in a direct and powerful manner. The family drama MILK AND COOKIES by Andrei Tache-Codreanu, which had its premiere in the 2025 La Cinef selection at the Festival de Cannes, provides the programme’s comic relief. Shot in a single take, PENINSULA by David Gaso has its regional premiere in Sarajevo on the heels of its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival. With its strong sensibility for nature and humanity as integral to it, and its delicate sense of rhythm, this film offers an interesting deviation from the programme’s thematic focus for this year.

Student film production is always vibrant and responds actively to the challenges of the world in which it is created, bravely confronting the issues of discrimination, trauma, echoes of war and other trails of the present moment—while at the same time offering new visions and hope for a bright future of European cinema.

Problematična mlada žena na terapiji je u neuobičajenom rehabilitacijskom centru daleko od grada. Nevoljno se i polako otvara terapeutu jer mu nije sklona vjerovati.

Uvod / Introduction

Ovogodišnji program U fokusu donosi snažan spoj etabliranih autora i nove generacije regionalnih filmskih stvaralaca, ujedinjenih zajedničkom ambicijom: ispričati hitne i važne priče u sve nestabilnijem i uzdrmanijem svijetu. Selektovano je sedam igranih i, izuzetno, jedan kratki film—svi s međunarodnim festivalskim uspjesima i priznanjima kritike.

Urška Đukić premijeru svog prvenca DOBRE DJEVOJKE imala je na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, gdje je nagrađena FIPRESCIjem. Film prati šesnaestogodišnju Luciju, tihu i introspektivnu djevojku koja se pridružuje školskom ženskom horu i razvija poseban odnos s odvažnom i karizmatičnom Anom Marijom. Kroz teme adolescentne želje, krivnje i pobune unutar religijskih okvira, film predstavlja senzualan, introspektivan i izrazito originalan prikaz tinejdžerske ženstvenosti—rijetke teme u istočnoevropskoj kinematografiji. Sa suptilnošću i lirizmom, Đukić isporučuje snažnu umjetničku izjavu o vjeri, ženstvenosti i samospoznaji.

Drugi igrani film Ivana Salatića OTAPANJE VLADARA smješten je u Crnu Goru 19. stoljeća i prati Morlaka, pjesnika-episkopa viđenog kao plemenskog vođu i intelektualca, koji odlazi u južnu Italiju tražeći lijek za tuberkulozu. Morlakovo putovanje postaje studija o raseljenosti i unutrašnjem konfliktu u nekonvencionalnom biografskom filmu koji razgrađuje nacionalne mitove i propituje pitanja patrijarhata, identiteta i egzila. Minimalistički i filozofski u tonu, film je premijerno prikazan u takmičarskom programu festivala u Rotterdamu.

Nakon hvaljenog debija TILVA ROŠ (2010), dobitnik Srca Sarajeva Nikola Ležaić se vraća s dugo očekivanim drugim filmom KAKO JE OVDJE TAKO ZELENO? premijerno prikazanim u programu „Proxima“ na festivalu u Karlovym Varyma. Film prati 34-godišnjeg Nikolu koji s ocem kreće na putovanje kako bi ostavili posmrtne ostatke svojih predaka u dalmatinskom selu. Ono što počinje kao običan porodični zadatak prerasta u emotivnu meditaciju o sjećanju, generacijskim raskolima i emocionalnom nasljeđu.

Dane Komljen, poznato ime Sarajevo Film Festivala, predstavlja svoj drugi igrani film LINIJE ŽELJE nakon premijere u takmičarskom programu u Locarnu. Glavni junak Branko postaje opsjednut praćenjem svog brata kroz neonski obasjane ulice Beograda. Kako putovanje napreduje, Branko shvata da je on taj koji ne pripada—poput duha koji posmatra, a ne učestvuje u životu. Ovaj filmski putopis i psihološka studija likova donosi poetsku i emocionalno nabijenu refleksiju o identitetu i pripadanju.

Komljen ponovo potvrđuje status jednog od najautentičnijih glasova savremenog art-house filma.

Poznati rumunski reditelj Radu Jude predstavlja film KONTINENTAL ’25, dobitnika Srebrnog medvjeda za najbolji scenarij. Film kombinuje crni humor, egzistencijalna pitanja i oštru društvenu kritiku u priči o Orsolyi (Eszter Tompa), bivšoj profesorici prava koja sada radi kao sudski izvršitelj u Klužu. Kada deložira beskućnika, koji potom počini samoubistvo, ona zapada u duboku moralnu krizu. Njen put postaje seciranje moralnog pejzaža postsocijalističke Rumunije, kroz prizmu nacionalizma, rasizma, stambene krize i urbane gentrifikacije.

Jedan od velikana evropske kinematografije Želimir Žilnik donosi svoj najnoviji film RESTITUCIJA, ILI SAN I JAVA STARE GARDE, prikazan u programu „Forum“ festivala u Berlinu. Ovaj hibrid dokudrame prati Stevana, ostarjelog džez-pijanistu, koji se nakon šest decenija života u Njemačkoj vraća u Vojvodinu nakon što je restitucijom dobio nazad porodično imanje. Koristeći neprofesionalne glumce, improvizaciju i dokumentarni pristup, Žilnik prikazuje bogat portret četiri generacije oblikovane političkim i društvenim promjenama – od Austro-Ugarske, preko socijalizma, do savremenog kapitalizma.

Na kraju, Sergei Loznitsa će premijerno prikazati svoj kratki film ČAS PALEONTOLOGIJE, uz njegov nagrađivani igrani film DVA TUŽITELJA. Film je zasnovan na noveli preživjelog Gulaga Georgyja Demidova i prati mladog boljševičkog tužioca Aleksandra Korneva koji od zatvorenika prima molbu ispisanu krvlju i pokušava se suprotstaviti korupciji NKVD-a. Loznitsa povlači jasne paralele između staljinističkog terora i savremenog autoritarizma – uključujući današnju Rusiju – upućujući hitno upozorenje kako istočnim tako i zapadnim demokratijama.

I ove godine U fokusu ističemo smjele filmske autore iz regije koji se s izuzetnom umjetničkom jasnoćom suočavaju s temama historije, identiteta i moralne kompleksnosti. Zajedno, oni oblikuju snažnu i raznoliku viziju savremenog filma iz Jugoistočne Evrope i šire.

E This year’s In Focus programme presents a powerful mix of established auteurs and a new generation of regional filmmakers, united by a shared ambition: to tell urgent stories in an increasingly fragile and troubled

world. The selection features seven feature-length films and, exceptionally, one short film—all of which have garnered critical acclaim and festival success internationally.

Urška Đukić opened the year at the Berlin International Film Festival with her debut feature, LITTLE TROUBLE GIRLS, which won the FIPRESCI Prize. The film follows sixteen-year-old Lucija, a quiet and introspective girl who joins her Catholic school’s all-girls choir and forms a bond with the bold and captivating Ana Marija. Exploring adolescent desire, guilt, and rebellion within religious constraints, the film is a sensual, introspective, and strikingly original portrayal of teenage femininity—a rare subject in Eastern European cinema. With restraint and lyricism, Djukić delivers a bold artistic statement on faith, femininity, and self-discovery.

Ivan Salatić’s second feature, WONDROUS IS THE SILENCE OF MY MASTER, is set in nineteenth-century Montenegro and follows Morlak, a poet-bishop regarded as both a tribal ruler and an intellectual who travels to southern Italy in search of a cure for tuberculosis. Morlak’s journey becomes a study of displacement and interior conflict in this non-conventional biopic that deconstructs national myths while probing questions of patriarchy, identity, and exile. Minimalist and philosophical in tone, the film premiered in the competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

After his celebrated debut in 2010 with TILVA ROŠ, which won a Heart of Sarajevo, Nikola Ležaić returns with his long-awaited second feature, HOW COME IT’S ALL GREEN OUT HERE?, which film premiered in the Proxima Competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Fesival. The film centres on thirty-four-year-old Nikola, who embarks on a road trip with his father to return the remains of their ancestors to a Dalmatian village. What begins as a simple family errand evolves into a poignant meditation on memory, generational disconnect, and emotional inheritance.

Dane Komljen, a familiar voice at the Sarajevo Film Festival, presents his second feature, DESIRE LINES, following its premiere in the competition at the Locarno Film Festival. The film follows Branko, who becomes obsessed with following his brother through the neon-drenched streets of Belgrade. As the journey unfolds, Branko realises he is the one who doesn’t belong—a ghost-like figure, observing rather than living. This is a road movie and a character study that offers an emotionally charged

and visually poetic reflection on identity and belonging. With this film, Komljen reaffirms his place among the most original voices in contemporary art-house cinema.

Renowned Romanian director Radu Jude brings his work KONTINENTAL ’25, which won the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at the Berlinale. The film blends dark satire, existential inquiry, and sharp social critique in the story of Orsolya (Eszter Tompa), a former law professor turned bailiff in Cluj. When she evicts a homeless man who then dies by suicide, she is thrown into moral crisis. Her journey becomes a dissection of post-socialist Romania’s moral landscape—interrogating nationalism, racism, the housing crisis, and urban gentrification.

One of the great masters of European cinema, Želimir Žilnik, presents his latest film, EIGHTY PLUS, which premiered in the Forum section of the Berlinale. The hybrid docudrama follows Stevan, an aging jazz pianist, who returns to Vojvodina after six decades in Germany following a restitution case that returns his family estate. Using non-professional actors, improvisation, and a documentary aesthetic, Žilnik paints a rich portrait of four generations shaped by transitions—from Austro-Hungarian rule to socialism to contemporary capitalism.

Finally, Sergei Loznitsa presents the world premiere of his short film PALEONTOLOGY LESSON along with his critically acclaimed feature TWO PROSECUTORS. The film is based on a novella by Gulag survivor Georgy Demidov and follows a young Bolshevik prosecutor who receives a bloodwritten plea from a prisoner and attempts to challenge NKVD corruption. Loznitsa draws sharp parallels between Stalinist terror and contemporary authoritarianism—including that in present-day Russia—offering an urgent warning to both Eastern and Western democracies.

The In Focus 2025 programme reflects the region’s bold cinematic voices as they confront history, identity, and moral complexity with striking artistic clarity. Together, they offer a compelling and diverse vision of contemporary cinema from Southeast Europe and beyond.

Girls

Introvertna šesnaestogodišnjakinja Lucia pridružuje se ženskom horu katoličke škole gdje upoznaje popularnu i flertu sklonu učenicu trećeg razreda Ana-Mariju. Kada članice hora otputuju u samostan na selu, na vikend intenzivnih proba, Lucijin interes za tamnookog restauratora stavlja njeno prijateljstvo s Ana-Marijom i ostalim djevojkama na kušnju. Dok se nastoji snaći u nepoznatom okruženju, i izaći na kraj sa svojom rastućom seksualnošću, Lucija počinje preispitivati vlastita uvjerenja i vrijednosti, što će narušiti harmonične odnose članica hora.

Urška Djukić je s najnovijim kratkim filmom BABIČINO SEKSUALNO ŽIVLJENJE osvojila je preko 50 nagrada uključujući Nagradu za najbolji kratki film Evropske filmske akademije i Césara za najbolji animirani kratki film.

Njen prvi dugometražni film DOBRE DJEVOJKE premijerno je prikazan u programu „Perspektive“ na ovogodišnjem Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu.

E Introverted 16-year-old Lucia joins her Catholic school’s all-girl choir, where she befriends Ana-Maria, a popular and flirty third-year student. But when the choir travels to a convent in the countryside for a weekend of intensive rehearsals, Lucia’s interest in a dark-eyed restoration worker tests her friendship with Ana-Maria and the other girls. As she navigates unfamiliar surroundings and her budding sexuality, Lucia begins to question her beliefs and values, disrupting the harmony within the choir.

Urška Djukić’s most recent short film, GRANNY’S SEXUAL LIFE, has won more than 50 awards, including the European Film Academy Award for Best Short Film and the César Award for Best Animated Short Film. Her previous work includes the short film THE RIGHT ONE, part of the omnibus SEE Factory film SARAJEVO MON AMOUR, which had its premiere in the Directors’ Fortnigh at the Festival de Cannes in 2019.

Branko živi na marginama društva. Muče ga nesanica i usamljenost. On ni s kim ne govori. Čini se da je njegova jedina opsesija mlađi brat, čije blatnjave cipele, krvavi čaršafi, kao i misteriozno prisustvo, unose nemir. Kroz prolaze, žbunje u parkovima i brutalistički pejzaž, Branko prati svaki bratovljev korak, zapitan nad njegovim ponašanjem. Dok se paranoja uvećava, Branko počinje da shvata da nije brat taj koji je drugačiji, nego on sam.

Dane Komljen rođen je 1986. godine u Banjoj Luci. Njegov prvi dugometražni film SVI SEVERNI GRADOVI premijerno je prikazan u Locarnu 2016. godine. Drugi film POSLEVODE prikazan je na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu u programu „Forum“ 2022 godine. LINIJE ŽIVOTA, njegov najnoviji film, prikazan je u takmičarskom programu na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu.

E Branko lives on the margins of society, tormented by insomnia and loneliness. He speaks to no one. His only obsession appears to be with his younger brother, whose muddy shoes, bloody bedsheets, and mysterious presence stoke unease. Through street passages, shrubbery in parks, and brutalist landscapes, Branko follows his brother’s every step, concerned about his behaviour. While his paranoia grows, Branko begins to realise that it is he, and not his brother, who is strange.

Dane Komljen was born in 1986 in Banja Luka. His first feature-length film, ALL THE CITIES OF THE NORTH, had its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival in 2016. His next film, AFTERWATER, screened in the Forum section of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2022. His most recent film, DESIRE LINES, was presented in competition at the Locarno Film Festival.

Is the Silence

of My Master

U Crnoj Gori tokom 19. stoljeća umirući pjesnik-vladar Morlak odlazi u Italiju u potrazi za lijekom, napuštajući svoju domovinu. Kako mu se stanje pogoršava, njegov odani sluga Đuko, rastrgan između dužnosti i čežnje, suočava se sa sve većom sjenkom sudbine svoga gospodara, boreći se s ljubomorom, nostalgijom za domom i neodoljivim osjećajem propasti.

Ivan Salatić diplomirao je na Fakultetu dramskih umjetnosti na Cetinju, a zvanje magistra filma stekao je na Univerzitetu likovnih umjetnosti u Hamburgu. Njegov prvi dugometražni film TI IMAŠ NOĆ prikazan je u programu “Međunarodna sedmica kritike” Filmskog festivala u Veneciji, a potom je osvojio nagrade za najbolji film na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Hong Kongu i Festivalu autorskog filma u Beogradu, kao i Nagradu za najbolju režiju na Filmskom festivalu Herceg Novi – Montenegro Film Festivalu. Njegov najnoviji film OTAPANJE VLADARA premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Rotterdamu.

E In 19th-century Montenegro, a dying poet-ruler journeys to Italy in search of a cure for his condition. As his health worsens, his devoted servant, torn between duty and longing, faces the lengthening shadow of his master’s fate, battling jealousy, homesickness, and an unshakable sense of doom.

Ivan Salatić graduated from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Cetinje and completed his master’s degree in film at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg. His first feature-length film, YOU HAVE THE NIGHT, was shown in the Settimana Internazionale della Critica at the Venice Film Festival and was subsequently named Best Film at the Hong Kong International Film Festival and the Belgrade Auteur Film Festival, as won the Best Director award at the Herceg-Novi Film Festival – Montenegro Film Festival.

Juni 2023. Prošlo je više od godinu dana od početka ruske invazije koja je živote Ukrajinaca pretvorila u svakodnevnu borbu za preživljavanje. Ipak, uprkos boli, tuzi i bijesu, snovi i aspiracije ukrajinske djece i odraslih omogućavaju zemlji da ide dalje. U Kijevu grupa školaraca posjećuje Muzej prirodne historije u pratnji nastavnika paleontologije koji ih, kao magijom, uvodi u daleki svijet u kojem nema rata.

Restitucija, ili, San i java stare garde / Eighty Plus

Poslije šest decenija života i rada u Nemačkoj, stari muzičar Stevan Arsin vraća se u Srbiju da privede kraju dugotrajni proces restitucije porodičnog imanja – plodne zemlje i zapuštene vile koju su mu zavještali roditelji. Niz susreta sa članovima porodice, prijateljima iz djetinjstva i mladosti, kao i slalom kroz pravno-ostavinske izazove, otvaraju neočekivano burno novo poglavlje u Stevanovom životu.

Želimir Žilnik je umjetnik i filmski stvaralac rođen 1942. godine u Novom Sadu. Tokom svoje bogate karijere, Žilnik je snimio preko pedeset dugometražnih i kratkometražnih filmova koji su prikazani na brojnim međunarodnim filmskim festivalima uključujući festivale u Berlinu, Torontu, Rotterdamu, Moskvi i Oberhausenu. Osvojio je Zlatnog medvjeda na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu za film RANI RADOVI i nagradu Teddy istoimenog festivala za film DUPE OD MRAMORA 1995. godine. RESTITUCIJA, ILI, SAN I JAVA STARE GARDE, njegov najnoviji film, premijerno je prikazan u programu „Forum“ Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E After living in Germany for six decades, Stevan, an elderly jazz pianist returns home to Serbia. After concluding a lengthy legal process, the government confirms that—as a result of post-socialist restitution—he can inherit the neglected mansion bequeathed to him by his parents. A series of encounters and reunions opens an unexpected new chapter in Stevan’s life.

Želimir Žilnik was born in 1942 in Novi Sad. In his highly prolific career as an artist and filmmaker, Žilnik has made more than fifty short and feature-lengthfilms, which have been exhibited internationally at film festivals including the Berlin, Moscow, and Toronto International Film Festivals, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.

Prosecutors

Sovjetski Savez, 1937. godina. Hiljade pisama zatvorenika – koje je režim lažno optužio – spaljuju se u zatvorskim ćelijama. Potpuno neočekivano, jedno takvo pismo stiže gdje je trebalo – na sto tek imenovanog lokalnog tužioca, Aleksandra Kornjeva. On čini sve što je u njegovoj moći kako bi se susreo sa zatvorenikom, žrtvom agenata tajne policije NKVD. Mladi tužilac, posvećeni boljševik s ličnim integritetom, posumnja na prevaru. Njegova potraga za pravdom odvest će ga sve do ureda glavnog tužioca u Moskvi. U vrijeme velikih staljinističkih čistki, jedan čovjek ulazi u koridore totalitarnog režima koji se želi prikazati drugačijim nego što jeste.

Sergej Loznica snima filmove od 1996. godine i do sada je režirao dvadeset osam nagrađivanih dokumentaraca i četiri igrana filma.

E The Soviet Union, 1937. Thousands of letters from detainees falsely accused by the regime are burned in a prison cell. Against all odds, one of them reaches its destination: the desk of Alexander Kornyev, a newly appointed local prosecutor. He does his utmost to meet the writer of the letter, a victim of agents of the secret police. A dedicated Bolshevik of integrity, the young prosecutor suspects foul play. His quest for justice will take him all the way to the office of the attorney general in Moscow. In the age of the great Stalinist purges, this is the plunge of a man into the corridors of a totalitarian regime that tries to present itself otherwise.

Sergei Loznitsa has been making films since 1996, and to date has directed tweny-eight award-winning documentaries and four fiction films.

Sestre Nora i Agnes obnavljaju vezu s otuđenim ocem, harizmatičnim Gustavom, nekada slavnim rediteljem koji Nori, pozorišnoj glumici, nudi ulogu u filmu za koji se nada da će biti njegov veliki povratak. Nora odbija ulogu da bi nedugo potom otkrila da ju je Gustav ponudio ambicioznoj mladoj holivudskoj zvijezdi. Dvije se sestre odjednom moraju nositi sa svojim komplikovanim odnosom s ocem i s američkom zvijezdom koja se našla usred njihove kompleksne porodične dinamike.

Joachim Trier postigao je međunarodni uspjeh sa svakim od svojih pet dugometražnih fimova, uključujući film NAJGORA OSOBA NA SVIJETU koji je Renati Reinsve donio Nagradu za najbolju glumicu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu te je bio nominovan za nagradu BAFTA i dvije nagrade Oscar. Na scenariju filma SENTIMENTALNA VRIJEDNOST Trier je šesti put u karijeri sarađivao s Eskilom Vogtom. Film SENTIMENTALNA VRIJEDNOST osvojio je Veliku nagradu takmičarskog programa Filmskog festivala u Cannesu.

E Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a oncerenowned film director who offers Nora, as stage actor, a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he’s given her part to an eager young Hollywood star. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father and deal with an American dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.

Joachim Trier has received international acclaim for all five of his feature-length films, including THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD, which won the Best Actress Award (for Renate Reinsve) at the Festival de Cannes, as well as a BAFTA, and received two Academy Award nominations. SENTIMENTAL VALUDE, Trier’s sixth collaboration with co-writer Eskil Vogt, won the Grand Prix in the competition at the Festival de Cannes in 2025.

Brides / Nevjeste

Najbolje prijateljice, tinejdžerke Doe i Muna, kreću na putovanje života. Tiha, oprezna Doe nije nigdje putovala od treće godine života kada je kao izbjeglica iz Somalije stigla u Veliku Britaniju. Samouvjerena Muna, porijeklom iz Pakistana, dominantna je prijateljica i vodi Doe kroz sigurnosne provjere na aerodromu. Djevojke su blago nervozne i uzbuđene zbog avanture koja im predstoji. Putuju u Istanbul, ali ne na odmor već da bi se našle sa strancem koji će ih odvesti do granice Sirije kako bi u toj zemlji započele novi život.

Nadia Fall je dramatičarka i pozorišna i filmska rediteljica, a odnedavno je i umjetnička direktorica pozorišta Young Vic u Londonu. Prethodno je bila angažovana kao umjetnička i izvršna direktorica Kraljevskog teatra Stratford East i pomoćna direktorica Kraljevskog državnog teatra u Londonu. Njen debitantski film NEVJESTE premijerno je prikazan na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu Sundance.

E Teenage best friends Doe and Muna are going on the trip of a lifetime. Quiet, watchful Doe hasn’t travelled since she arrived in the UK at the age of three as a refugee from Somalia. Badass Muna, of Pakistani heritage, is the dominant force of the pair, leading Doe through airport security. The girls are giddy; excited about their adventure. They are not going on holiday but to Istanbul, to be met by a stranger who will take them to the border to start a new life in Syria.

Nadia Fall is a playwright and theatre and film director, and recently became Artistic Director of the Young Vic theatre in London. Formerly, she was Artistic Director and CEO of the Theatre Royal Stratford East, and an associate director at the Royal National Theatre in London. BRIDES, her debut feature-length film as a director, had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2025.

Dossier 137 / Dosije 137 / Case 137

Stéphanie, policajka u odjelu za unutrašnje poslove, raspoređena je na slučaj mladića koji je teško ranjen tokom napetih i haotičnih demonstracija u Parizu. Iako tokom istrage ne nalazi dokaze o neopravdanom policijskom nasilju, slučaj dobija lični obrat nakon što Stéphanie otkrije da žrtva potiče iz njenog rodnog grada.

Dominik Moll studirao je film na Gradskom koledžu u New Yorku i na La Fémisu u Parizu, gdje je upoznao svog dugogodišnjeg saradnika Gillesa Marchanda. Ovaj dvojac zajedno je napisao scenarije za većinu svojih individualnih filmova. Moll je prvi dugometražni film INTIMITÉ režirao 1994. godine. Njegov naredni film PRIJATELJ KAO HARRY prikazan je u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2000. godine i osvojio je četiri Césara. U filmovima koji su uslijedili Moll je zadržao fokus na žanrovskom filmskom izrazu, ali tako da je u svoje žanrovske filmove integrirao sve više društvenih tema. Njegov film U NOĆI DVANAESTOG ovojio je sedam nagrada César nakon što je naišao na odličan prijem kod kritičara i publike. Njegov najnoviji film DOSIJE 137 prikazan je u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2025. godine.

E Stéphanie, a police officer working for Internal Affairs, is assigned to a case involving a young man who has been severely wounded during a tense and chaotic demonstration in Paris. While she finds no evidence of illegitimate police violence, the case takes a personal turn when she discovers the victim is from her hometown.

Dominik Moll studied film at the City College of New York and at IDHEC in Paris, where he met his long-time collaborator Gilles Marchand. They have co-written the screenplays for most of their independently directed films. In 1994, Moll directed his first feature-length film INTIMITÉ. His second, WITH A FRIEND LIKE HARRY, was screened in competition at the Festival de Cannes in 2000 and won four César Awards. In his following films, Moll continued to explore genre, while integrating more and more social themes. In 2023, The NIGHT OF THE 12TH won seven Césars and was praised by critics and audiences alike. His most recent film, CASE 137, was presented in competition at Cannes in 2025.

Dreams / Snovi

Mladi meksički baletan Fernando sanja o međunarodnom uspjehu i životu u Americi. Vjerujući da će ga njegova ljubavnica, članica otmjenog društva i filantropistica Jennifer, podržati, ostavlja sve za sobom i odlazi, a u procesu za dlaku izbjegava smrt. Međutim, njegov dolazak remeti Jenniferin pažljivo kontrolisani svijet. Jennifer će učiniti sve što je u njenoj moći da zaštiti i njihovu budućnost, ali i život koji je izgradila.

Michel Franco rođen je 1979. godine u Mexico Cityju. Njegov film USPOMENA premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji 2023. godine, a na istom festivalu prethodno su prikazani i njegovi filmovi SUMRAK i NOVI POREDAK, pri čemu je drugopomenuti osvojio nagradu žirija Srebreni lav. Njegov film APRILINA KĆERKA 2017. godine prikazan je na Fimskom festivalu u Cannesu, gdje je osvojio Specijalnu nagradu žirija, pet godina nakon što je Franco u Cannesu osvojio Veliku nagradu programa „Izvjestan pogled“ s filmom POSLIJE LUCIJE. Njegov najnoviji film SNOVI premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog fetivala u Berlinu.

E Fernando, a young ballet dancer from Mexico, dreams of international recognition and a life in the United States. Believing his lover, Jennifer, a socialite and philanthropist, will support him, he leaves everything behind—narrowly escaping death in the process. However, his arrival disrupts Jennifer’s carefully curated world. She will do anything to protect both their futures—and the life she has built.

Michel Franco was born in Mexico City in 1979. In 2023, his film MEMORY premiered in competition at the Venice Film Festival, which also presented his previous films SUNDOWN and NEW ORDER, the latter of which won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize. APRIL’S DAUGHTER screened in the Un Certain Regard programme at the Festival de Cannes in 2017, when it won the Special Jury Prize, while AFTER LICIA won the Prix Un Certain Regard in 2012. DREAMS, Franco’ most recent film, had its premiere in competition program at the Berlin International Film Festival.

La grande bellezza / Velika ljepota / The Great Beauty

Aristokratkinje, uspinjači po društvenim ljestvicama, utjecajni kriminalci, novinari, glumci, dekadentni pripadnici visokog duštva, prelati, umjetnici i intelektualci, autentični i pretpostavljeni, u centru su čudnih odnosa u očajnom Babilonu smještenom u palatama iz antičkog doba, prostranim vilama i na najljepšim gradskim terasama. Svi su tu, na okupu, i ne ostavljaju dobar utisak. Šezdesetpetogodišnji Jep Gambardella, indolentan i ravnodušan muškarac, očiju stalno zamućenih zbog ispijanja džintonika, posmatra tu paradu ispraznih, prokletih, moćnih, a istovremeno deprimiranih pripadnika ljudske vrste. Sve te pokušaje života prerušene u prividnu, rastresenu zabavu. Vrtoglava moralna atrofija. I, u pozadini svega toga, Rim tokom ljeta. Zapanjujuće lijep i indiferentan, poput mrtve dive.

Paolo Sorrentino, filmski reditelj i scenarista, rođen je 1970. u Napulju. Njegov prvi dugometražni igrani film, SUVIŠAN ČOVJEK, iz 2001. godine, prikazan je na Filmskom festivalu u Veneciji. Tri godine kasnije režirao je film POSLJEDICE LJUBAVI, a 2006. film PORODIČNI PRIJATELJ. Oba filma prikazana su u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Sa filmom VELIKAN iz 2008. osvaja nagradu žirija u Cannesu. U Cannesu je 2011. prikazan i njegov film OVO MORA BITI PRAVO MJESTO, a dvije godine kasnije i film VELIKA LJEPOTA sa kojim je osvojio nagradu Oscar Američke filmske akademije®. U takmičarskoj konkurenciji u Cannesu 2016. prikazan je i njegov film MLADOST sa kojim je osvojio tri nagrade Evropske filmske akademije i bio nominovan za nagradu Oscar Američke filmske akademije® i dva Zlatna globusa. Film BOŽIJA RUKA iz 2021. godine nominovan je za nagradu Oscar Američke filmske akademije® za najbolji strani film, te je osvojio Veliku nagradu žirija Leone d’Argento i nagradu Marcello Mastroianni sedamdeset i osmog Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji. Dvije godine kasnije napisao je i režirao film PARTENOPA koji je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu.

E Aristocratic ladies, social climbers, politicians, high-flying criminals, journalists, actors, decadent nobles, prelates, artists, and intellectuals—whether authentic or presumed—form the tissue of these flaky relationship, all engulfed in a desperate Babylon, which plays out in the antique palaces, immense villas, and most beautiful terraces in the city. They are all here, and they are not seen in a good light. Sixty-five-year-old Jep Gambardella, indolent and disenchanted, his eyes permanently imbued with gin and tonic, watches this parade of hollow, doomed, powerful yet depressed humanity. All the effort of life, disguised as specious, distracted entertainment. A dizzying moral atony. And, behind it, Rome in summer. Stunningly beautiful and indifferent. Like a dead diva.

Paolo Sorrentino, director and screenwriter, was born in Naples in 1970. His first feature-length film, ONE MAN UP (2001) was selected for the Venice Film Festival. His next several films were presented in competition at the Festival de Cannes: THE CONSEQUENCES OF LOVE (2004); THE FAMILY FRIEND (2006); IL DIVO (2008), which won the Jury Prize; THIS MUST BE THE PLACE (2011); THE GREAT BEAUTY (2013), which won the Academy Award®. He returned to the competition at Cannes in 2015 with YOUTH, which won three EFA Awards, and was nominated for an Oscar and two Golden Globes. In 2021, he wrote and directed the THE HAND OF GOD, which was nominated for the Oscar for Best International Feature Film, and won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize and the Marcello Mastroianni Award at the Venice Film Festival. In 2024, he wrote and directed PARTHENOPE, which was presented in competition at Cannes.

Cécile se sprema otvoriti gurmanski restoran i tako konačno ispuniti svoj životni san. Ali taj san prekidaju vijesti o srčanom udaru njenog oca i poziv da se vrati u svoje rodno selo. Daleko od žamora Pariza, Cécile igrom slučaja sreće svoju prvu ljubav. Preplavljuju je uspomene koje je navode na preispitivanje svega u što je bila sigurna.

Amélie Bonnin obrazovala se za pisanje scenarija na La Fémisu u Parizu nakon što je prethodno studirala grafički dizajn u Parizu i Montrealu. Radi kao glavna grafička dizajnerica s primarnom odgovornošću za izgled magazina „La Déferlante“. Bonnin je 2021. napisala i režirala svoj prvi kratki igrani film OTIĐI JEDNOG DANA, mjuzikl s kojim je 2023. godine osvojila nagradu Cesar za najbolji kratki film kao i nekoliko festivalskih nagrada. Njen istoimeni dugometražni film otvorio je posljednji Filmski festival u Cannesu.

E Cécile is about to open her own gourmet restaurant, finally making her dream come true, when suddenly her father has a heart attack and she is called back to the village where she was born. Far from the hubbub of Paris life, she runs into her teenage crush. Memories come flooding back, destabilising her certainties.

Amélie Bonnin trained as a screenwriter at La Fémis in Paris after studying graphic design in Paris and Montreal. She works as a head graphic designer, notably beingresponsible for the layout of the magazine “La Déferlante.” In 2021, she wrote and directed the short musical LEAVE ONE DAY, her first film, which won the César Award for Best Short film as well as several festival awards.

Paviljon / The Pavilion

Nakon godina zlostavljanja i poniženja, grupa stanara staračkog doma „Paviljon“ odlučuje se na oružanu pobunu. Naoružani ilegalnim sredstvima, zauzimaju dom, uzimaju osoblje za taoce i ulaze u sukob s vlastima. Njihova očajnička borba prerasta u medijski i politički spektakl, dok starost postaje njihova prednost – nemaju šta izgubiti i spremni su ići do kraja. U „Paviljonu“ nastaje novi poredak, vođen osvetom i nakupljenim bijesom, a pregovori s pobunjenicima postaju nemogući.

Dino Mustafić diplomirao je Režiju na Akademiji scenskih umjetnosti, te Komparativnu književnost na Filozofskom fakultetu u Sarajevu. Režirao je vise od stotinu predstava klasičnih i savremenih pisaca. Njegove predstave igrale su u mnogim evropskim gradovima, kao i u Americi, Africi, Aziji, izvođene na raznim jezicima, osvajale nagrade na brojnim domaćim i internacionalnim festivalima, dok je predstava „Helverova noć“ Kamernog teatra 55  ušla u historiju bosanskohercegovačkog pozorišta kao najnagrađivanija sa brojem internacionalnih priznanja. Njegov prvi dugometražni igrani film REMAKE imao je premijeru na Rotterdam film festivalu 2003. godine, a zatim je prikazan na vise od četrdeset međunarodnih festivala i nagrađen u Münchenu i San Franciscu.

E After years of abuse and humiliation, residents of the Pavilion, a home for the elderly, start a rebellion. Armed by illegal means, they capture the home, take its staff hostage and clash with authorities. Their desperate battle turns into a political and media spectacle and their old age turns into their advantage: they have nothing to lose and are ready to fight to the bitter end. A new order is established in the Pavilion, guided by the thirst for revenge and accumulated rage, and negotiating with the rebels becomes impossible.

Dino Mustafić graduated from studies in directing at the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo and in literature from the Faculty of Philosophy of Sarajevo University. He has directed more than 100 theatre plays, both classic and contemporary, which toured to numerous European cities, as well as the United States, Africa, and Asia, were performed in different languages and won numerous awards in national and international theater festivals. The production of Helver’s Night, which Mustafić directed for the Chamber Theatre 55 in Sarajevo, has gone down in the annals of theatre in Bosnia and Herzegovina as the country’s most-awarded stage production. His debut feature film, REMAKE, had its premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2003 and was screened at more than forty international film festivals, winning awards in Munich and San Francisco.

The Birthday Party / Rođendan

Markos Timoleon, Onassisu sličan grčki tajkun, na svome privatnom ostrvu organizuje proslavu dvadeset petog rođendana svoje kćerke. Tamo će se suočiti s nepredvidivim slijedom događaja koji će ugroziti njegovu dominaciju pa čak i egzistenciju. Zasnovan na proslavljenom romanu Panosa Karnezisa, film ROĐENDAN drama je smještena u svijet pripadnika visokog društva sedamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća, na spoju između Velikog Getsbija i Vinterbergove PROSLAVE, gdje glamurozne zabave susreću grčku tragediju.

Miguel Ángel Jiménez napustio je studij prava kako bi studirao filmsku kameru. Svoj prvi kratki film LAS HUELLAS, koji je koproducirao Aki Kaurismäki, snimio je 2003. godine. Četiri godine kasnije osnovao je produkcijsku kompaniju Kinoskopik Film Produktion. Njegov opus uključuje dugometražne filmove ORI, CHAIKA i PROZOR PREMA MORU koji su prikazani u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u San Sebastianu. Njegov najnoviji igrani film ROĐENDAN premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu.

E Markos Timoleon, an Onassis-like Greek tycoon, is celebrating his daughter’s twenty-fifth birthday on his private island. There, he will face an unpredictable chain of events that will threaten his dominance and shake his very existence. Based on Panos Karnezis’s acclaimed novel of the same name, THE BIRTHDAY PARTY is set in the late 1970s world of jet-setters, where glamorous parties meet Greek tragedy and “The Great Gatsby” meets Vinterberg’s THE CELEBRATION.

Miguel Ángel Jiménez abandoned his law degree to study cinematography. In 2003, he shot his first short film, LAS HUELLAS, which was co-produced by Aki Kaurismäki. In 2007, he founded the production company Kinoskopik Film Produktion. His works include the feature-length films ORI, CHAIKA, and WINDOW TO THE SEA—all of which were selected for the competition at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, his most recent feature, had its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival.

/ Whites Wash at Ninety

Osamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća život mlade Bronje promijenio se kada je njena majka umrla od raka. Nakon djetinjstva obilježenog tim gubitkom, njen život opet remete tragični događaji koje prevazilazi optimistično.

Marko Naberšnik predaje na Odsjeku za film i televiziju Akademije za teatar, radio, film i televiziju u Ljubljani, a istovremeno režira televizijske emisije, igrane i dokumentarne filmove. Njegov dugometražni igrani prvenac PIJETLOV DORUČAK treći je najgledaniji slovenski film svih vremena. SHANGHAI, njegov drugi igrani film iz 2012, uvršten je u takmičarski program 36. izdanja Festivala svjetskog filma u Montrealu, gdje je osvojio Nagradu za najbolji scenarij. Naberšnikov treći dugometražni igrani film ŠUME SU JOŠ UVIJEK ZELENE premijerno je prikazan na 17. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Šangaju. Naberšnik je do sada režirao pet dugometražnih filmova za kinodistribuciju.

E The life of young Bronja, growing up in the 1980s, changes when her mother dies of cancer. After a childhood marked by this loss, her life is again interrupted by tragic events, which she overcomes with optimism.

Marko Naberšnik works as a professor in the Department of Film and Television at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film, and Television in Ljubljana, and as a director of fiction and documentary films and television shows. His feature-length debut, ROOSTER’S BREAKFAST, is the third most-watched Slovenian film of all time. In 2012, his second feature, SHANGHAI, was competed in the Montreal World Film Festival and won the award for Best Screenplay.

Bosanski vitez / Bosnian Knight

Tokom rata u Bosni Sead Delić pobjegao je na slobodnu teritoriju Srebrenice, gdje se pridružio vojsci i 1995. preživio genocid. Nakon rata odselio je u Ameriku i ispunio svoj dječački san da postane vozač kamiona. Uprkos činjenici da je izgradio novi život, prošlost nastavlja da ga proganja. U potrazi za odgovorima o vlastitom identitetu, uranja u historiju srednjovjekovne Bosne, posjećuje tvrđave, gradove i stećke. Ta strast njegovom životu daje novi smisao, a poštivanje bosanskog nasljeđa postaje njegova misija.

E During the Bosnian War, Sead Delić escaped to the free territory of Srebrenica, where he served as a soldier and survived the 1995 genocide. After the war, he moved to the United States and fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a truck driver. Despite his new life, the past continued to haunt him. Seeking answers about his identity, he immersed himself in the history of medieval Bosnia, visiting fortresses, towns, and stećak tombstones. This passion gave his life new meaning and became his mission to honour Bosnia’s heritage.

Tarik Hodžić studied directing at the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo. From 1993 to 2003, he worked as a host and music editor at RTV Visoko and Radio Q, gaining valuable experience in the media industry.

Izgubljeni Dream Team / The Lost Dream Team

IZGUBLJENI DREAM TEAM film je o prijateljstvu, rivalstvu i ljubavi prema igri u vremenu političkih previranja i nadolazećeg rata. Priča je ispričana iz perspektive trenera i igrača jedne od najposebnijih momčadi u historiji sporta – jugoslavenske košarkaške reprezentacije koja je 1991. godine na Evropskom prvenstvu u Rimu osvojila zlato i stala na postolje, posmatrajući dizanje zastave svoje zemlje koja je prestala postojati prije tri dana.

Jure Pavlović diplomirao je filmsku i televizijsku režiju na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Usavršavao se na brojnim međunarodnim filmskim radionicama, među kojima su Berlinale Talents, Sarajevo Talent Campus, Sources 2 i MAIA Workshops. Njegovi kratkometražni igrani filmovi prikazani su na više od 250 festivala. Kratki film PIKNIK osvojio je prestižnu nagradu Evropske filmske akademije za najbolji evropski kratkometražni film 2015. godine. Njegov dugometražni prvenac MATER premijerno je prikazan na festivalu „Crne noći“ u Talinu, nakon čega je prikazan na brojnim festivalima i višestruko nagrađen uključujući Nagradu za najbolji regionalni film na FEST-u u Beogradu, četiri nagrade na Pulskom filmskom festivalu (Breza za najboljeg debitanta te Zlatne arene za najbolju glumicu, kameru i oblikovanje zvuka), Nagradu hrvatske kritike „Oktavijan“ za najbolji hrvatski film 2020. godine, kao i priznanja na festivalima u Taormini, Skoplju, Saint-Jean-de-Luzu i drugima.

E THE LOST DREAM TEAM tells the story of the last Yugoslav basketball team and their quest for a gold medal at the 1991 European Championships amid political turmoil and impending war. It serves as a psychological study of the players, the trials of their camaraderie, and the extraordinary experience of belonging to a unique team in sports history—the only team to win gold, stand on the podium, and watch their flag rise for the glory of a country that had ceased to exist three days earlier.

Jure Pavlović graduated from studies in film and television directing from the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. He has participated in numerous international film workshops, including Berlinale Talents, Talents Sarajevo, Sources 2, and the MAIA Workshops. His short films have been screened at more than 250 festivals. PICNIC won the European Film Academy Award for Best European Short Film in 2015. MATER, his feature-length debut, had its premiere at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, after which it screened at numerous festivals and won multiple awards, including the Best Regional Film prize at FEST in Belgrade; the awards for Best Debut, Best Actress, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound Design at the Pula Film Festival; the Oktavijan Award for Best Croatian Film of 2020, and prizes at festivals in Taormina, Skopje, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, among others.

Mačiji krik / Cat’s Cry

U malom srpskom gradu Milena sanja o slavi i neovisnosti pod utjecajem domaćeg muzičkog kanala. Njene ambicije i planovi za budućnost dovedeni su u pitanje kada rodi bebu s rijetkom genetskom bolešću zvanom „Sindrom mačijeg plača“. Dok njezin partner Igor i njegova porodica odbijaju preuzeti odgovornost za bebu, njen otac Stamen, umirovljeni tvornički radnik, nagovara Milenu da napusti Igora i vrati se kući, nudeći joj opciju zajedničkog odgajanja djeteta. Preplavljena osjećajima i uplašena za vlastitu budućnost, Milena nestaje. Sada se Stamen i njegova nova supruga Vera moraju boriti protiv neefikasnog socijalnog sistema za starateljstvo nad svojom unukom dok, istovremeno, Milena pokušava pronaći svoj put.

Sanja Živković je srbijansko-kanadska filmska autorica. Magistrirala je režiju na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu, a potom kompletirala rediteljski laboratorij Kanadskog filmskog centra, scenaristički laboratorij Sarajevo Talents programa te scenaristički studio Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Torontu. Njen prvi dugometražni film LAGANA ZEMLJA premijerno je prikazan na festivalu u Torontu 2019. godine. Njen najnoviji film MAČIJI KRIK osvojio je specijalnu nagradu Horizon na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Vancouveru i Specijalnu nagradu žirija na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Sofiji.

E In a small Serbian town, Milena dreams of fame and independence, drawn by the allure of a Serbian music channel. Her aspirations and plans for the future are challenged when she gives birth to a baby with a rare genetic condition called cat’s cry syndrome. While her partner Igor and his family refuse to take responsibility for the baby, Milena’s father Stamen, a retired factory worker, urges her to leave Igor and return home, offering to raise the child with her. Overwhelmed and fearful of her future, Milena disappears. Now, Stamen and his new wife must fight a flawed social system for custody of their granddaughter while Milena struggles to find her own way forward.

Sanja Živković is a Serbian-Canadian filmmaker. She received an MFA in directing from Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, and is an alum of the Canadian Film Centre Director’s Lab, the Talents Sarajevo Script Station, and the Toronto International Film Festival Writers’ Studio.

The Track / Staza

STAZA je moderna priča o odrastanju koja prati troje adolescenata – Mirzu, Zlatana i Hamzu – u nastojanju da ostvare svoj olimpijski san u postratnoj Bosni i Hercegovini. Dok treniraju na svojoj mecima oštećenoj bob-stazi, reliktu Zimskih olimpijskih igara u Sarajevu 1984, vodi ih njihov istrajni trener Senad. Njegova nepokolebljiva predanost obnovi zapuštene staze odraz je njegove borbe da momcima obezbijedi budućnost u zemlji s jednom od najviših stopa nezaposlenosti među mladima na svijetu.

Ryan Sidhoo nagrađivani je reditelj i producent dokumentarnih filmova. Prije nego što je režirao film STAZA, producirao je dugometražni film RUKOVATI S PAŽNJOM. Sidhoo je osvojio Webby nagradu za rediteljski rad na seriji PRAVI SJEVER. Također je autor kratkometražnih sadržaja za različite Vice platforme i podijelio je svoje vještine s nekim od vodećih kompanija u industriji poput kompanija Pulse Films, Participant Media, Blowback Productions, Viacom i NBC-Universal.

E THE TRACK is a contemporary coming-of-age story that follows three teenagers—Mirza, Zlatan, and Hamza —as they chase their Olympic dreams in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina. Training on their bullet-riddled luge track, a relic of the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Games, the boys are guided by their resilient coach, Senad. His unwavering commitment to rebuilding the neglected track mirrors his struggle to secure a future for the boys in a country burdened with one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the world.

Ryan Sidhoo is an award-winning documentary director and producer. Prior to THE TRACK, he produced the feature film HANDLE WITH CARE, and won a Webby Award for his directorial work on the series TRUE NORTH. Sidhoo has also created short-form content for various VICE platforms and has contributed his skills to industry-leading companies such as Pulse Films, Participant Media, Blowback Productions, Viacom, and NBC-Universal.

Uvod / Introduction

Suočeni s primjerima ljudske krhkosti razotkrivene buktećim ratovima, filmovi uvršteni u ovogodišnji KINOSCOPE promišljaju ih u vremenu. Radi se o pričama koje, bile moderne ili drevne, nam daju snagu da se držimo vrijednosti slobode i ostanemo vjerni sami sebi.

Nadilaženje vremena S radnjom smještenom u pustinje Maroka, zapanjujući film Olivera Laxe SIRÂT (prikazan u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, gdje je osvojio Nagradu žirija) transformira rejvere u preživjele očajnike. Radi se o filmu punom čulnih iskustava, tankom mostu između pakla i raja koji se referira na grčku mitološku rijeku Stiks koja mrtve razdvaja od živih. Smješten u nepoznatom prostoru i vremenu, film Athine Rachel Tsangari ŽETVA, prikazan u takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji, dubinski istražuje malu zajednicu koja iz raja odlazi u pakao. ZVUK PADA Masche Schilinski predstavlja težnje i patnje različitih generacija žena.

Prošlost u sadašnjosti – bezvremena mjesta Teška prošlost može nam pomoći da zamislimo lakšu i inspirativnu budućnost. Filmom ROMERÍA, prikazanom u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, Carla Simón zaključuje svoju filmsku trilogiju u kojoj je istraživala prošlost vlastite porodice. U ovom iznimno suptilnom filmu, glavna protagonistica odlazi se suočiti s porodicom svog oca koju nikada nije upoznala kako bi osvojila vlastitu slobodu. Uspomene na određena mjesta prepliću stoljeća u prekrasnom filmu Juliana Radlmaiera JULSKI FANTOMI, prikazanom u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Locarnu.

Putovanje u potrazi za vlastitim identitetom Film Dénija Oumara Pitsaeva IMAGO, prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu, gdje je osvojio Nagradu za najbolji dokumentarni film, preispituje značenje udaljenosti, kako geografske tako i emotivne. Nakon što je prisiljen napustiti Čečeniju, reditelj filma vratio se na Kavkaz da izgradi kuću u Gruziji i gdje, također, preispituje vlastiti identitet i dovodi u sumnju svoju sposobnost da se integriše u lokalnu čečensku zajednicu. U političnom i senzualnom filmu ODMARAM SE SAMO U OLUJI, prikazan u programu “Izvjestan pogled” Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, Pedro Pinho prati mladog Portugalca tokom njegovog boravka u Gvineji Bisau, gdje oscilira između vlastitih strasti i sumnji, kao i između svog položaja Evropljanina u Africi i nastojanja da se zbliži s lokalnim stanovništvom.

Istraživanje emotivnih veza

Prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji, u takmičarskom programu “Horizonti”, film Nea Sore SRETAN KRAJ bavi se osjetljivim, ali bogatim adolescentskim godinama kada su prijateljstva vezivno tkivo svakodnevnog života, a emotivne veze pomažu tinejdžerima da se pobune protiv strogih pravila. Bliskost koja se gubi protokom vremena začinjena je dozom magije u najnovijem filmu Hlynura Pálmasona LJUBAV KOJA OSTAJE (Specijalna projekacija na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu). Glavna junakinja filma KIKA rediteljice Alexe Poukine prolazi neočekivanim putevima koji će joj pomoći da shvati, kontroliše i na određen način prigrli vlastitu bol. Film je prikazan u Cannesu u programu “Sedmica kritike”.

Šta radimo s vlastitom patnjom?

U kontekstu bezobzirnog razaranja Palestine, masakriranja njenog stanovništva i svakodnevnog, zločinačkog sistematskog uništavanja njene kulture, hitnost filma STAVI SVOJU DUŠU NA DLAN I HODAJ rediteljice Sepideh Farsi fokusira se na sudbinu jedne prekrasne žene. U fokusu ovog filma je Fatma, njeni snovi, njen smijeh, njene nade, a prema tvrdnji filozofa Emmanuela Levinasa, vidjeti lice drugog put je do humanosti. Film Nadava Lapida DA muzička je satira / tragedija o zemlji obuzetoj žudnjom za osvetom i otkriva slabosti umjetnika spremnog pristati na kompromise u zamjenu za moć i novac. Film je prikaz svijeta obuzetog strahom i u općem haosu.

Tanka linija između dobra i zla

U meditativnom trileru ZEMLJA TRSKE, prikazan u Cannesu u programu “Sedmica kritike”, krajolici i zvučne kulise kreiraju ukletu atmosferu. Radi se o impresivnom prvom dugometražnom filmu Svena Bressera. Film KOLOVOĐA, prikazan u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, smješta rediteljicu Kelly Reichardt među najpronicljivije autore moderne kinematografije. Njen film nije samo dubinski psihološki portret, već i dirljiva meditacija o gubitku iluzija.

Nadrealno istraživanje oblika i prostora

U filmu ODRAZ U MRTVOM DIJAMANTU (prikazan u takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu) Hélène Cattet i Bruno Forzani utapaju gledaoce u vodopadu vizuelnih motiva koji se vrte oko romboidnog oblika dijamanta. Njihov film je istovremeno omaž filmovima o Jamesu Bondu i italijanskim đalo-filmovima iz sedamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća.

Lavirint podzemnih tunela ponavlja ograničeni prostor filma Genkija Kawamure IZLAZ 8, prikazanog u programu “Ponoćne projekcije” Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Ovo djelo, inspirisano istoimenom videoigrom, majstorski je konstruisana, istinska filmska petlja.

Cilindar je centralni oblik filma Lucile Hadžihalilovic KULA OD LEDA, prikazanog u takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu, gdje je osvojio Nagradu za najbolji umjetnički doprinos. Zimska kraljica u filmu je istovremeno previše daleko i previše blizu. Ovaj film je jeziv, snovit, klaustrofobičan dragulj.

U španskom filmu NARICANJE reditelja Pedra Martin-Caleroa (prikazan na filmskim festivalima u Torontu i San Sebastijanu), krug simbolizira neizbježnu i ponavljajuću prirodu terora koji proganja ženske protagonistice različitih generacija. Na kraju, ali ne manje bitno, Park Syeyoung vraća se u Kinoscope Surreal distopijskom naučnofantastičnom dramom, trouglastim filmom PERAJE, prikazanom na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu, nakon svog zapanjujućeg prvenca PETI TORAKALNI KRALJEŽNIK. Park Syeyoung potvrdio je da je sposoban koristiti žanr da postavi dublja pitanja o ljudskosti, osjećaju pripadanja i ideološkim podjelama.

E Faced with the human fragility revealed by raging wars, the films selected for the Kinoscope programme this year are stories that reflect on time. These are recent and ancient stories, stories from time immemorial and stories that give us courage to stand by the values of freedom and to be true to ourselves.

Transcending Time

Set in the Moroccan desert, Oliver Laxe’s mind-blowing SIRÂT, which won the Jury Prize at the Festival de Cannes this year, transforms ravers into desperate survivors. It’s a film that explodes with sensory experiences. Sirât is the thin bridge between heaven and hell, and echoes the River Styx of Greek mythology, separating as it does the dead from the living. Athina Rachel Tsangari’s HARVEST, which was presented in competition at the Venice Film Festival, is a profound exploration of a small community going from paradise to hell in an unknown place and at an unknown time. The brilliant SOUND OF FALLING by Mascha Schilinski, which won the Jury Prize at Cannes, also transcends time, introducing the aspirations and sufferings of several generations of women.

The Past in the Present—Places beyond Time

A heavy past can help imagine a lighter and inspirational future. With ROMERÍA, which was selected for the Official Competition at Cannes, director Carla Simón concludes her trilogy exploring her family’s past. In this very subtle film, the central character goes to meet her late father’s family for the first time to gain her freedom. Memories of place intertwine centuries in Julian Radlmaier’s beautiful PHANTOMS OF JULY, which was just presented in competition at the Locarno Film Festival.

Travelling in Search of One’s Identity

Déni Oumar Pitsaev’s IMAGO, which was named Best Documentary at Cannes, explores the meaning of distance, both geographical and emotional. Exiled from Chechnya and travelling back to the Caucasus to build a house on land in Georgia, the director reflects on his own identity and questions his ability to integrate with the local Chechen community. In the political and sensual I ONLY REST IN THE STORM, Pedro Pinho follows a Portuguese man to Guinea-Bissau, where he oscillates between his desires and his doubts, his position as a European in Africa, and his attempt to bond with the local community. The film played in Un Certain Regard at Cannes.

Exploring Emotional Ties

Presented in the Orizzonti Competition at Venice, Neo Sora’s HAPPYEND depicts those fragile yet rich teenage years when friendships are the cement of daily life and emotional bonds offer support in the rebellion against strict rules. Affection that fades away with time is tainted with magic in Hlynur Pálmason’s latest, THE LOVE THAT REMAINS, which was presented as a Special Screening at Cannes. In Alexe Poukine’s KIKA, which played in La Semaine de la Critique at Cannes, the main character is led along an unexpected trajectory that helps her understand, control, and, somehow, welcome her pain.

What Do We Do with Our Suffering?

Confronted with the reckless destruction of the country of Palestine and the massacre of its population and its culture in an atrocious and systematic manner, Sepideh Farsi’s urgent PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK singles out one beautiful woman’s fate. Fatma: her dreams, her laughs, her hopes. And—as philosopher Emmanuel Levinas asserts—seeing the face of the Other is the way to humanity. YES, Nadav Lapid’s musical satire-cum-tragedy,

portrays a country consumed by a thirst for vengeance and reveals the weakness of artists who are ready to compromise their values for power and money. It’s a world plunged into dread and utter chaos.

A Thin Line between Good and Evil

In the meditative thriller REEDLAND, which played in La Semaine de la Critique at Cannes, landscapes and soundscapes create a haunting atmosphere. It’s the impressive first feature by Sven Bresser.

THE MASTERMIND, presented in the Official Competition at Cannes FF Competition, confirms Kelly Reichardt as one of contemporary cinema’s most insightful storytellers. The film is not only a deep psychological portrait but also a poignant meditation on disillusion.

A Surrealist Exploration of Shapes and Space Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani immerse us in a splash of visual motifs, revolving around the rhomboid shape of the diamond in their REFLECTION OF A DEAD DIAMOND, which competed at the Berlinale Competition. It’s a spectacular homage to both Bond films and to the Italian giallo genre of the 1970s.

Inspired by the video game of the same name, Genki Kawamura’s THE EXIT 8 is a masterfully crafted, truly cinematic loop that plays out in the recurrent liminal space of a maze of underground tunnels. The film was presented as a Midnight Screening at Cannes.

In Lucile Hadžihalilović’s THE ICE TOWER, which took the Best Artistic Contribution prize at the Berlinale, the cylinder provides a centre where the Ice Queen is both distant and too close. The film is a chilling, dreamlike claustrophobic gem, suspended in time.

In the Spanish THE WAILING by Pedro MartínCalero, which played at the San Sebastián and Toronto International Film Festivals, the circle is a symbol of the inescapable and recurring nature of the terror that haunts the female protagonists over different generations. Finally, Park Sye-young is back in Kinoscope Surreal with the triangular THE FIN, a dystopian sci-fi drama launched at the Locarno Festival and which follows his astonishing debut, THE FIFTH THORACIC VERTEBRA. Here, Park shows how he is capable of using genre to ask deeper questions about humanity, belonging, and ideological fractures.

8-ban deguchi / Izlaz 8 / The Exit 8

Muškarac zarobljen u beskonačnom sterilnom hodniku podzemne željeznice kreće u potragu za izlazom broj 8. Pravila njegove misije prilično su jednostavna: ne smije previdjeti ništa što je neuobičajeno. Ukoliko uoči neku anomaliju, istog trenutka mora se okrenuti i vratiti se odakle je došao. Ukoliko ne, može nastaviti, a na kraju otići kroz izlaz broj 8. Ako bilo šta previdi, vraća se na mjesto s kojeg je krenuo. Hoće li ikada postići cilj i izaći iz tog beskrajnog hodnika?

Genki Kawamura objavio je međunardno uspješan roman „Ako bi mačke nestale sa svijeta“ 2012. godine. Roman je preveden na trideset dva jezika i prodan u dva miliona primjeraka. Njegov prvi kratki film DUALNOST uvršten je u program Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2018. godine. S Kore-Edom Hirokazuom kreirao je originalnu Netflixovu seriju THE MAKANAI. Njegov dugometražni igrani prvenac STOTINU CVJETOVA, koji je zasnovan na njegovom romanu, nagrađen je Srebrenom školjkom za najbolju režiju na Filmskom festivalu u San Sebastianu 2022. godine. Njegov drugi dugometražni film IZLAZ 8 premijerno je prikazan u programu „Ponoćne projekcije“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu 2025. godine.

E A man trapped in an endless sterile subway passageway sets out to find Exit 8. The rules of his quest are simple: do not overlook anything out of the ordinary. If you discover an anomaly, turn back immediately. If you don’t, carry on. Then leave via Exit 8. Even a single oversight will send him back to the beginning. Will he ever reach his goal and escape the infinite corridor? THE EXIT 8 is based on the global hit video game of the same name created by Kotake Create.

Genki Kawamura published his novel “If Cats Disappeared from the World” in 2012. It became a worldwide bestseller, selling more than two million copies, and has appeared in translation in thirtytwo countries. His first short film, DUALITY, was selected for the Festival de Cannes in 2018. Together with Kore-Eda Hirokazu, Kawamura co-created THE MAKANAI, a Netflix original series. His featurelength directorial debut, A HUNDRED FLOWERS, an adaptation of his own novel, won the Silver Shell for Best Director at the San Sebastián International Film Festival in 2022. His second feature, EXIT 8, had its premiere as a Midnight screening at Cannes in 2025.

Ástin sem eftir er / Ljubav koja ostaje / The Love That Remains

Ovaj film s nježnošću prikazuje godinu dana u životu porodice koja nastoji izaći na kraj s razvodom roditelja. Kroz razigrane i srčane trenutke, i smjenu godišnjih doba, film portretira gorko-slatku esenciju izblijedjele ljubavi i zajedničkih uspomena.

Hlynur Pálmason diplomirao je na Danskoj državnoj filmskoj školi. Njegov debitantski igrani film VINTERBRØDRE premijerno je prikazan u glavnom takmičarskom programu na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu 2017. godine, gdje je osvojio četiri nagrade.

El llanto / SOS - Poziv u pomoć / The Wailing

Nešto progoni Andreu, ali niko, čak ni ona, ne zna šta. Dvadeset godina ranije, deset hiljada kilometara daleko, isto prisustvo teroriziralo je i Marie. Camila je bila jedina u stanju da shvati šta joj se događa, ali niko joj nije vjerovao. Sučene s istom teškom prijetnjom, sve tri čuju isto: naricanje.

Pedro Martín-Calero studirao je fotografiju na Školi za kinematografiju i audiovizuelne studije u Madridu, ali ubrzo se preusmjerio na režiju. Paralelno je snimao muzičke spotove i reklame i radio na filmu te je dobitnik brojnih međunarodnih nagrada. Za svoj kratki psihološki horor-film BUDNI STE nominovan je za Nagradu za najboljeg mladog reditelja na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu 2017. godine. SOS - POZIV U POMOĆ, njegov prvi dugometražni film, prikazan je u zvaničnoj konkurenciji 72. izdanja Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u San Sebastiánu te je nagrađen Srebrenom školjkom za najbolju režiju.

E Something is haunting Andrea, but no one, not even Andrea herself, knows what it is. Twenty years ago, ten thousand kilometres away, the same presence terrorised Marie. Camila was the only person who could understand what was happening to Marie, but no one believed what they had to say. When they are confronted by this oppressive threat, all three hear the same thing: a wailing.

Pedro Martín-Calero studied photography at the School of Cinematography in Madrid and Audiovisual of the Community of Madrid, but soon segued into directing films. He has combined making musical clips and commercials with work in film, and received numerous international awards. He was nominated for the Young Director Award at the Festival de Cannes in 2017 for his psychological horror short film YOU ARE AWAKE. THE WAILING, his feature-length directorial debut, had its premiere at the San Sebastián International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Shell for Best Director.

Happyend

U bliskoj budućnosti Tokija, svakodnevno suočenim s prijetnjom katastrofalnog zemljotresa, dvojica nestašnih najboljih prijatelja uskoro bi trebala završiti srednju školu. Jedne noći izvode nestašluk s posljedicama usmjerenim na direktora škole, što rezultira instalacijom nadzornog sistema u školskoj zgradi. Pod pritiskom opresivnog nadzornog sistema i pogoršavajuće političke situacije u zemlji, prijatelji reaguju na dijametralno suprotne načine te se suočavaju s međusobnim razlikama kojih nikada prije nisu bili svjesni.

Neo Sora je filmski stvaralac, umjetnik i prevodilac koji živi i radi u New Yorku i Tokiju. HAPPYEND, njegov debitantski igrani film, premijerno je prikazan u programu „Horizonti“ na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji.

E In a near-future Tokyo, where the threat of a catastrophic earthquake pervades daily life, two rabble-rousing best friends are about to graduate from high school. One night, they pull a prank on their principal, which leads to a surveillance system being installed in the school. Stuck between the oppressive security system and a darkening national political situation, the two respond in contrasting ways, leading them to confront differences they never had to face before.

Neo Sora is a filmmaker, artist, and translator who lives between New York City and Tokyo. HAPPYEND, his debut feature-length fiction film, had its premiere in the Orizzonti section of the Venice Film Festival.

Harvest / Žetva

Tokom sedam halucinantnih dana, u neodređenom vremenu i mjestu, jedno selo bez imena nestaje. U ovoj tragikomičnoj verziji vesterna, prijatelji iz djetinjstva — seoski farmer i nekadašnji mještanin, Walter Thirsk, te zbunjeni gospodar imanja, Charles Kent, suočavaju se s invazijom spoljnog svijeta: traumom modernosti. Film je zasnovan na romanu „Žetva“ autora Jima Cracea.

Athina Rachel Tsangari rođena je u Grčkoj. Studirala je pozorišnu umjetnost na Njujorškom univerzitetu, a potom magistrirala filmsku produkciju na Teksaškom univerzitetu. Između ostalih, producirala je filmove KINETTE i PSEĆI ZUB. Njen najnoviji rediteljski poduhvat, film ŽETVA, premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu na Filmskom festivalu u Veneciji.

E Over seven hallucinatory days, in an undefined time and place, a village with no name disappears. In this tragi-comic take on a Western, townsman-turned-farmer Walter Thirsk and befuddled lord of the manor Charles Kent are childhood friends about to face an invasion from the outside world: the trauma of modernity. Based on the novel “Harvest” by Jim Crace.

Athina Rachel Tsangari was born in Greece and studied theatre at New York University before obtaining her MFA in film production from the University of Texas. Her production credits include films such as KINETTE and DOGTOOTH. HARVEST, her most recent film as a director, had its premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival.

Imago

Nakon što naslijedi komadić zemlje u divljoj, lijepoj dolini Pankissi, Déni to doživljava kao priliku da konačno izgradi kuću na drvetu o kojoj sanja od djetinjstva. Ali na divljem Kavkazu ništa nikad nije jednostavno. Vrativši se u svoje rodno selo tik uz granicu sa Čečenijom, u mjesto koje jedva da poznaje, Déni rasplamsava stare sukobe, potisnute porodične drame i, prije svega, suočava se s pitanjem koje mu svi postavljaju: kada i s kim će se konačno oženiti?

Déni Oumar Pitsaev rođen je 1986. godine u Čečeniji, a odrastao je na potezu između Groznog, Sankt Peterburga i Almatija. Diplomirao je filmsku režiju na Državnom institutu scenskih umjetnosti u Briselu, a zatim magistrirao audiovizuelne umjetnosti na Umjetničkoj školi LUCA u kampusu St. Lucas. Njegov debitantski dugometražni dokumentarni film IMAGO imao je svjetsku premijeru 2025. godine u takmičarskom programu „Sedmica kritike“ (Semaine de la Critique) na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu, gdje je osvojio Œil d’or (Zlatno oko – nagrada za najbolji dokumentarni film na Cannesu) i nagradu French Touch.

E When Déni inherits a small patch of land in the wild, beautiful valley of Pankissi, he sees a chance at last to build the house in the trees he’s dreamed of since he was a boy. But nothing in the rugged Caucasus is ever simple. Returning to the village just across the Chechen border where he was born—a place he barely knows—Déni stirs up old feuds, buried family dramas, and, above all, the questions everyone keeps asking: When, and to whom, is he finally going to get married?

Déni Oumar Pitsaev was born in Chechnya in 1986 and grew up in Grozny, Saint Petersburg, and Almaty. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in film directing from the National Institute of Performing Arts in Brussels, followed by a master’s degree in audiovisual arts at the LUCA School of Arts, St. Lukas Campus. His debut feature-length documentary, IMAGO, had its premiere in La Semaine de la Critique at the Festival de Cannes in 2025, when it won both the Œil d’Or for Best Documentary and the French Touch Prize.

In die Sonne schauen / Zvuk pada / Sound of Falling

Četiri djevojke Alma, Erika, Angelika i Lenka odrastaju na istoj farmi u sjevernoj Njemačkoj. Kako se farma mijenja tokom stoljeća, u njenim zidovima zadržavaju se odjeci prošlosti. Iako vremenski odvojeni, životi djevojaka počinju međusobno ličiti.

Mascha Schilinski završila je scenaristički masterclass na Filmskoj školi u Hamburgu, kao i studij režije na Filmskoj akademiji u Baden-Württembergu. Na trećoj godini studija režirala je svoj prvi dugometražni igrani film DIE TOCHTER, koji je premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2017. godine. Njen drugi dugometražni igrani film ZVUK PADA premijerno je prikazan u zvaničnoj takmičarskoj konkurenciji Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2025, gdje je osvojio Nagradu žirija.

E Four girls—Alma, Erika, Angelika, and Lenka—each spend their youth on the same farm in northern Germany. As the home evolves over a century, echoes of the past linger in its walls. Though separated by time, their lives begin to mirror each other.

Mascha Schilinski completed the Drehbuch-Masterclass at the Filmschule Hamburg and film directing studies at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg. In her third year of study, she directed her feature-length debut, DARK BLUE GIRL, which had its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2017. In 2025, her second feature, SOUND OF FALLING, premiered in the Official Competition at the Festival de Cannes, where it won the Jury Prize.

Ken / Da / Yes

Intenzivno provokativan i politički nabijen, film DA Nadava Lapida bijesna je satira izraelskog nacionalizma i društvene propasti. Smješten u kontekst nakon 7. oktobra 2023, film prati Y-ja, džez-muzičara koji život provodi između kućne svakodnevnice i hedonističkih nastupa za izraelsku elitu, sve dok ne dobije neočekivan zadatak da komponuje novu državnu himnu. Ono što se isprva čini kao dobra umjetnička prilika prerasta se u nadrealno, uznemirujuće putovanje kroz zemlju zahvaćenu groznicom poricanja, propagande i militarizma. Istakavši se u Cannesu i pokrenuvši intenzivnu debatu, naročito u Izraelu gdje je naišao na snažan otpor, DA je Lapidov najhrabriji film koji ismijava, razotkriva i suočava se s nacijom u moralnom sunovratu.

Nadav Lapid rođen je 1975. godine u Tel Avivu. Režirao je tri kratka filma, objavio roman te radio kao književni kritičar i sportski novinar. Godine 2007. pridružio se fondaciji Cinéfondation Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, gdje je napisao scenarij za svoj prvi dugometražni film POLICAJAC. Dobitnik je najprestižnijih festivalskih nagrada, među kojima se ističu Zlatni medvjed Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu, koju je osvojio 2019. godine za film SINONIMI, te Nagrada žirija Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, koju je osvojio 2021. godine za film AHEDOVO KOLJENO. Njegov najnoviji dugometražni film DA premijerno je prikazan 2025. godine u programu „15 dana autora“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu.

E Fiercely provocative and politically charged, Nadav Lapid’s YES is a furious satire of Israeli nationalism and societal decay. Set in the aftermath of 7 October 2023, the film follows Y., a jazz musician who drifts between domestic routine and hedonistic performances for Israel’s elite—until he’s unexpectedly commissioned to write a new national anthem. What begins as artistic opportunity spirals into a surreal, unsettling journey through a country caught in a frenzy of denial, propaganda, and militarism. A Cannes standout that has sparked intense debate, especially in Israel where it has faced fierce backlash, YES is Lapid at his most fearless-mocking, exposing, and confronting a nation in moral freefall.

Nadav Lapid was born in Tel Aviv in 1975. He directed three short films, published a novel and worked as a literary critic and sports journalist, before joining the Cannes Cinéfondation in 2007, when he wrote the screenplay of his first feature film, POLICEMAN. Since then, he has won awards including the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival for SYNONYMS in 2019, and the Jury Prize of the Festival de Cannes for AHED’S KNEE in 2021. His most recent feature, YES, had its premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes in 2025.

Kika

Tokom trudnoće s drugim djetetom, Kika se suočava s iznenadnom smrću svog partnera. Slomljenog srca i bez dinara, Kika određuje prioritete: pod jedan, brzo zaradi novac; pod dva, ostani jaka. Neočekivano joj pomažu prljavo donje rublje, vibratori i neurotični roditelji.

Alexe Poukine je rediteljica, glumica i scenaristica. Film PALMA, koji je osvojio Veliku nagradu na Filmskom festivalu Brives i Nagradu žirija na Međunarodnom festivalu kratkog filma ClermontFerrand, režirala je 2020. godine. Njen prvi dugometražni igrani film KIKA premijerno je prikazan u programu „Sedmica kritike“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu.

E Pregnant with her second child, Kika faces the sudden death of her partner. Heartbroken and broke, she sets her priorities—1: Make money fast; 2.: Stay strong. Dirty underwear, dildos, and neurotic parents provide unexpected help.

Alexe Poukine is a director, actor, and screenwriter. In 2020, she directed PALMA, which won the Grand Prize at the Brive Film Festival and the Jury Prize at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival.

La tour de glace / Kula od leda / The Ice Tower

Hladniji od leda, njen poljubac probada srce… Sedamdesete su godine prošlog stoljeća, odbjegla Jeanne pada pod utjecaj Cristine, enigmatične zvijezde filma „Zimska kraljica“, koji se snima u studiju u kojem je Jeanne pronašla utočište. Uzajamna fascinacija glumice i djevojčice sve više raste.

Lucile Hadžihalilović osnovala je produkcijsku kompaniju Cinemas de la Zone s Gasparom Noéom, s kojim je sarađivala na nekoliko filmova. Hadžihalilović je 1996. godine režirala film LA BOUCHE DE JEAN-PIERRE, koji je prikazan u programu „Izvjestan pogled“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Svoj prvi dugometražni igrani film NEVINOST napisala je i režirala 2004. godine. Film je osvojio Nagradu za najboljeg novog reditelja na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u San Sebastianu. Film EVOLUCIJA, koji je premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu, režirala je 2015. godine. Njen naredni igrani film UHOLAŽA 2022. godine osvojio je Specijalnu nagradu žirija u San Sebastianu. Njen četvrti igrani film KULA OD LEDA premijerno je prikazan 2025. godine na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, gdje je osvojio Srebrenog medvjeda za izuzetan umjetnički doprinos.

E Colder than ice, her kiss pierces the heart… The 1970s. Runaway Jeanne falls under the spell of Cristina, the enigmatic star of “The Snow Queen,” a film being shot in the studio where Jeanne has taken refuge. A mutual fascination grows between the two.

Lucile Hadžihalilović founded the production company Les Cinémas de la Zone with Gaspar Noé, with whom she has collaborated on several films. In 1996, Hadžihalilović directed LA BOUCHE DE JEAN-PIERRE, which was presented in Un Certain Regard at the Festival de Cannes. In 2004, she wrote and directed her debut feature-length film, INNOCENCE, which won the Best New Director Prize at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. In 2015, Hadžihalilović directed EVOLUTION, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. In 2022, EARWIG won the Special Jury Prize at San Sebastián. Her fourth feature, THE ICE TOWER, premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in 2025, when it won the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution.

O Riso e a Faca / Odmaram se samo u oluji / I Only Rest in the Storm

Sergio, okolišni inžinjer iz Portugala, putuje u Gvineju Bisau kako bi pripremio izvještaj o utjecaju na okoliš za projekt izgradnje ceste. Dok se muči s vrućinom i osjećajem izolovanosti, upoznaje Diaru i Guija, lokalce koji čeznu da pronađu vlastiti put u životu. Kako njihov nedefinisani odnos postaje sve napetiji, a Sergio počinje shvatati kapitalistički i postkolonijalni kontekst svoje misije, njih troje moraju se suočiti s načinom na koji ih njihov identitet oblikuje u globalizovanom svijetu.

Pedro Pinho studirao je na Školi za pozorište i film u Lisabonu i Višoj državnoj školi „Louis Lumière“, a potom pohađao postdiplomski studij na Filmskoj školi u Londonu. Njegov prvi srednjometražni igrani film KRAJ SVIJETA premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, a njegov dugometražni igrani prvenac TVORNICA NIČEGA u programu „15 dana autora“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Film ODMARAM SE SAMO U OLUJI također je premijerno prikazan na festivalu u Cannesu 2025. godine u programu „Izvjestan pogled“.

E Sergio, a Portuguese environmental engineer, travels to Guinea-Bissau to conduct an impact report for a road-building project. As he grapples with heat and isolation, he meets Diara and Gui— two locals yearning to find their own way. As tensions arise within their ambiguous relationship, and as Sergio comes to understand the capitalist and post-colonial dynamics in play around his mission, each of the three must confront the ways their identities shape them in a globalised world.

Pedro Pinho studied at the Lisbon Theatre and Film School and the École nationale supérieure Louis Lumière, and completed post-graduate studies at the London Film School. THE END OF THE WORLD, his first medium-length fiction film, had its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival. THE NOTHING FACTORY, his first feature-length film, premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Festival de Cannes. I ONLY REST IN THE STORM premiered in Un Certain Regard at Cannes in 2025.

Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk / Stavi svoju dušu na dlan i hodaj

Film STAVI SVOJU DUŠU NA DLAN I HODAJ odgovor je njegove autorice na tekući masakr Palestinaca. Kada je rediteljica Sepideh Farsi upoznala Fatem Hassonu, dogodilo se čudo. Kroz Fatemine oči rediteljica je svjedočila događajima u Gazi, gdje je Fatem pružala otpor dokumentujući rat, a Farsi je postala veza između svijeta i Fatem koja je, po svojim riječima, bila zarobljena u “zatvoru u Gazi”. Tu vezu održavale su gotovo godinu dana. Snimljeni zvuci i pikseli, koje su u tom periodu razmijenile, pretočeni su u ovaj film. Značenje filma zauvijek je promijenjeno nakon što je Fatem ubijena u izraelskoj raciji na njenu kuću 16. aprila 2025. godine.

Sepideh Farsi iskusila je revoluciju kao trinaestogodišnjakinja, kada je imala šesnaest godina zatvorena je kao disidentica, a s osamnaest je napustila svoj rodni Iran i preselila se u Pariz gdje i danas živi. U Parizu je studirala matematiku, pravila fotografije i snimala filmove među kojima se ističu TEHRAN BEDOUNE MOJAVEZ, koji je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu, RED ROSE, koji je premijeru imao na Međunarodnom filmskom festival u Torontu i SIRENA, koji je osvojio brojne nagrade nakon što je otvorio program „Panorama“ Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. Trenutno priprema „iranski vestern“ film. Njen najnoviji film STAVI SVOJU DUŠU NA DLAN I HODAJ premijerno je prikazan u program ACID Filmskog festivala u Cannesu.

E PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK is a filmmaker’s response to the ongoing massacre of Palestinians. A miracle happened when director Sepideh Farsi met Fatem Hassona. Hassona became the filmmaker’s eyes in Gaza, where she resisted while documenting the war, as Farsi became a link between Hassona and the world at large from what she calls her “Gaza prison.” The two maintained this lifeline for almost a year. The bits of sound and pixel they exchanged became this film. The death of Fatem, on 16 April 2025, as a result of an Israeli raid on her home, changes its meaning forever.

Sepideh Farsi experienced revolution at thirteen, was imprisoned at sixteen as a dissident, and left her native Iran at eighteen. Based in Paris since then, she has studied mathematics, taken photos, and made films, among them TEHRAN WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION, which had its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival; RED ROSE, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival; and THE SIREN, which opened the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival and went on to win numerous awards. She is currently working on an “Iranian Western” film project. Fatem’s most recent film, PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK, premiered in the ACID program at the Festival de Cannes.

/ Reflection in a Dead Diamond

Osamdesetogodišnjak John D. živi u luksuznom hotelu na Azurnoj obali. Intrigira ga njegov prvi susjed, koji ga podsjeća na najluđe godine njegova života na Rivijeri, šezdesetih godina prošloga stoljeća, kada je bio špijun u svijetu koji se ubrzano razvijao i bio pun obećanja. Jednoga dana njegov susjed misteriozno nestaje, što prisiljava Johna da se suoči s vlastitim demonima: jesu li se njegovi nekadašnji neprijatelji vratili da unesu haos u njegov idilični život?

Hélène Cattet sarađuje s Brunom Forzanijem od 2000. godine. Nakon što su producirali i režirali nekoliko kratkih filmova po vlastitim scenarijima, 2009. godine snimaju debitantski igrani film AMER. Tri godine kasnije snimaju film L’ÉTRANGE COULEUR DES LARMES DE TON CORPS, kao i svoj doprinos američkom omnibusu THE ABCS OF DEATH. Film LAISSEZ BRONZER LES CADAVRES, prema istoimenoj knjizi Jean-Patricka Manchettea i Jean-Pierrea Bastida, snimili su 2017. godine. Bruno Forzani surađuje sa Hélène Cattet od 2000. ODRAZ U MRTVOM DIJAMANTU, njihov četvrti igrani film, premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2025.

E John D, a septuagenarian living in a luxury hotel on the Côte d’Azur, is intrigued by his next-door neighbour, who reminds him of his wildest years on the Riviera during the 1960s. At that time, he was a spy in a rapidly developing world full of promise. One day, the neighbour mysteriously disappears, bringing John face to face with his demons: are his former adversaries back to wreak havoc on his idyllic world?

Hélène Cattet has collaborated with Bruno Forzani since 2000. After writing and directing several self-produced shorts, they made their debut feature-length film AMER in 2009. They followed it in 2012 with THE STRANGE COLOUR OF YOUR BODY’S TEARS as well as their contribution to the US anthology film THE ABCS OF DEATH. In 2017, they shot LET THE CORPSES TAN, an adaptation of the book of the same title by Jean-Patrick Manchette and Jean-Pierre Bastid.

Bruno Forzani has collaborated with Hélène Cattet since 2000. Reflection in a Dead Diamond, their fourth feature film, had its premiere in Competition program of Berlin International Film Festival in 2025.

Romería

Osamnaestogodišnja Marina, koja je kao dijete ostala siroče, mora otputovati na atlantsku obalu Španije da bi roditelji njenog oca, koje nikada nije upoznala, potpisali njenu prijavu za školsku stipendiju. Trudi se izaći na kraj s poplavom novih tetaka i rodbine, nesigurna hoće li je prihvatiti ili odbaciti. Budeći davno potisnute emocije, oživljavajući nježnost i otkrivajući rane iz prošlosti o kojima se ne govori, Marina sklapa fragmentirane i često kontradiktorne uspomene na roditelje kojih se jedva sjeća.

Carla Simón stekla je diplomu iz audiovizuelne komunikacije u Barseloni, a potom magistrirala u Londonskoj školi filma. Debitovala je autobiografskim filmom VERANO 1993, s kojim je osvojila Nagradu za najbolji prvi film i Veliku nagradu programa „Generacija Kplus“ na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. Njen naredni igrani film ALCARRÀS na istoimenom festivalu osvaja Zlatnog medvjeda 2022. godine. ROMERÍA, Carlin treći igrani film, svjetsku premijeru imao je u zvaničnom takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu.

E Orphaned at a young age, at eighteen Marina must travel to the Atlantic coast of Spain to obtain a signature for a scholarship application from paternal grandparents she has never met. She navigates a sea of aunts, uncles, and cousins, uncertain whether she will be embraced or met with resistance. As her visit stirs long-buried emotions, revives tenderness, and uncovers unspoken wounds, Marina pieces together fragmented, often contradictory memories of the parents she barely remembers.

Carla Simón graduated in Audiovisual Communication in Barcelona, and obtained her master’s degree from the London Film School. The autobiographical SUMMER 1993, her debut feature-length film, won the Best First Film Award and the Generation Kplus Grand Prix at the Berlin International Film Festival. Her second feature, ALCARRÀS, won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale. ROMERÍA, Simón’s third feature, had its world premiere in the Official Competition at the Festival de Cannes.

Sehnsucht in Sangerhausen / Julski fantomi / Phantoms of July

Ursula, istočnonjemačka konobarica slomljenog srca, i Neda, iranska jutjuberica slomljene ruke, osjećaju se podjednako zarobljeno i usamljeno u svojim ekonomski nesigurnim životima. Jedne ljetne noći, Ursula se zaljubljuje u misterioznog gradskog muzičara dok Neda postaje uvjerena da je u podjednako enigmatičnom čistaču ulica prepoznala starog prijatelja iz Teherana. Vijugavi putevi sudbine spajaju dvije žene u neočekivanom lovu na duhove u planinama.

Julian Radlmaier je francusko-njemački reditelj rođen u Nürnbergu. Studirao je na Njemačkoj akademiji za film i televiziju u Berlinu. Također je uredio i preveo nekoliko djela francuskog filozofa Jacquesa Rancièrea.

Njegov treći igrani film JULSKI FANTOMI premijerno je prikazan u međunarodnom takmičarskom programu na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu.

E Ursula and Neda, respectively an East German server with a broken heart and an Iranian YouTuber with a broken arm, feel trapped and lonely in their precarious lives. One summer evening, Ursula falls for a mysterious musician from the city, while Neda becomes convinced she has recognised an old friend from Tehran in an equally enigmatic street sweeper. The winding paths of chance draw these two women together on an unexpected ghost hunt in the mountains.

Sirât

Otac i sin stižu na rejv zabavu duboko u planinama južnog Maroka. Traže svoju kćerku i sestru Mar koja je mjesecima ranije nestala na jednoj od sličnih beskonačnih, besanih zabava. Okruženi elektronskom muzikom i sirovim, nepoznatim osjećajem slobode, prisutnima uporno pokazuju njenu fotografiju. Polako gube nadu, ali nastavljaju potragu i prate grupu rejvera na posljednju zabavu u pustinji. Kako zalaze dublje u vrelu divljinu, putovanje ih natjera da se suoče s vlastitim granicama.

Oliver Laxe, sin imigranata iz Galicije, rođen je u Parizu 1982. godine. S filmom TODOS VÓS SODES CAPITÁNS osvojio je nagradu FIPRESCI u okviru programa „15 dana autora“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu 2010. godine. Šest godina kasnije osvaja Veliku nagradu programa „Sedmica kritike“ za film MIMOSAS, a za film O QUE ARDE dobija Nagradu žirija u okviru programa „Izvjestan pogled“ 2019. godine. S filmom SIRÂT ove godine je po prvi put učestvovao u zvaničnom takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, gdje je osvojio Nagradu žirija.

E A man and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They’re searching for Mar—daughter and sister—who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits.

Oliver Laxe was born in Paris in 1982, the son of Galician immigrants. The film YOU ALL ARE CAPTAINS earned him the FIPRESCI Prize in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Festival de Cannes in 2010. In 2016, he received the Grand Prize of La Semaine de la Critique in Cannes for MIMOSAS. With FIRE WILL COME he won the Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes in 2019. Laxe first entered the Official Competition at Cannes with SIRÂT, which won the Jury Prize.

The Fin / Peraje

U postratnoj i ekološki devastiranoj Koreji vlasti iskorištavaju mutirane izopćenike, takozvane omege, kao jeftinu radnu snagu. Dok progoni Miju, izopćenicu koja se krije od vlasti, mladi vladin službenik Sujin počinje sumnjati u ispravnost državne ideologije.

Syeyoung Park diplomirao je film i videoumjetnost na Korejskom državnom univerzitetu za umjetnost. Njegov prvi dugometražni film PETI GRUDNI PRŠLJEN osvojio je tri nagrade na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu Bucheon, Nagradu za najbolju režiju na Festivalu nezavisnog filma u Seulu te Specijalnu nagradu žirija na Filmskom festivalu Fantasia. Njegov kratki film MASKIRANO ČUDOVIŠTE osvojio je Specijalnu nagradu žirija na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu 2024. godine. Njegov drugi dugometražni film PERAJE također je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu.

E In a post-war and ecologically devastated Korea, mutated outcasts called Omegas are exploited as cheap labour. Sujin, a young government worker, begins to doubt the state’s ideology as she pursues Mia, an Omega in hiding.

Syeyoung Park graduated after studies in film and video arts from the Korea National University of Arts. His first feature-length film, THE FIFTH THORACIC VERTEBRA, won three awards at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, the Best Director Award at the Seoul Independent Film Festival, and a special Jury Mention at the Fantasia Film Festival.

The Mastermind / Kolovođa

U mirnom dijelu Massachusettsa, negdje oko 1970. godine, JB Mooney, nezaposleni stolar koji se amaterski počeo baviti krađom umjetnina, planira svoju prvu veliku krađu. Kada mu se plan izjalovi, život počinje da mu se raspada.

Kelly Reichardt rođena je 1964. godine u Miamiju na Floridi. Nakon što je snimila svoj debitantski dugometražni film RIJEKA TRAVE dugotrajno se posvetila kratkom filmu. Dugometražnom formatu vraća se filmom STARA RADOST koji je, kao i njen film PRVA KRAVA, zasnovan na pričama američkog književnika Jonathana Raymonda. Njeni filmovi su predstavljeni na međunarodnim filmskim festivalima uključujući festivale u Cannesu i Berlinu. U oktobru 2021. godine u Centru Pompidou održana je retrospektiva njenih filmova, a godinu dana kasnije u Cannesu je primila nagradu Zlatna kočija. Njen deveti film KOLOVOĐA premijerno je prikazan 2025. godine na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu.

E In a sedate corner of Massachusetts circa 1970, JB Mooney, an unemployed carpenter turned amateur art thief, plans his first big heist. When things go haywire, his life unravels.

Kelly Reichardt was born in Miami in 1964. After making RIVER OF GRASS, her debut feature-length film, she dedicated herself for a long time to the short film form. She returned to feature-length filmmaking with OLD JOY, which, like FIRST COW, is based on a story by the US novelist Jonathan Raymond. Reichardt’s films have screened at international festivals including the Festival de Cannes and the Berlin International Film Festival. A retrospective of her work was presented at the Centre Pompidou in 2021, and she was awarded the Carrosse d’Or award at Cannes in 2022. Reichardt’s ninth film THE MASTERMIND had its premiere at Cannes in 2025.

Uvod / Introduction

Koliko je zaista tanka linija između stvarnosti i fikcije? Da li ljudi danas više žive u fiktivnom nego u stvarnom svijetu? U svome filmu +10K vizuelna umjetnica i rediteljica Gala Hernández López pokušava odgovoriti na ova pitanja. Kroz ovaj hibridni dokumentarno-igrani film rediteljica portretira mladića po imenu Paul i njegovu potragu za slavom i uspjehom u svijetu digitalnog kapitalizma. U svijetu današnjice koji osobu radije sudi prema njenom kapitalističkom i virtuelnom potencijalu nego po onome što zaista jeste.

Granica između virtuelnog i stvarnog svijeta posmatrana kroz prizmu uznemirujućeg tehnološkog progresa tema je i konceptualnog umjetnika Jeppea Langa u njegovom kratkom animiranom filmu JA SAM SVE. Polazeći od premise da umjetna inteligencija može postići ljudsku svijest, glas virtuelne inteligencije preuzima sveznajući, Bogu sličan kvalitet, ali ne pronalazi odgovore na pitanja o suštini ljudske egzistencije sugerišući da, uprkos svome napretku, ljudska vrsta nikada neće moći razotkriti misteriju života i univerzuma.

Neutaživa glad čovječanstva da otkrije razlog svog postojanja tema je i animiranog filma BOG JE STIDLJIV reditelja Jocelyna Charlesa. U ovom filmu, koji kombinuje elemente grotesknog horora s japanskim stilom animacije, Charles pokazuje šta zapravo znači prodrijeti u vlastitu podsvijest, mjesto koje u svakom trenutku može pretvoriti nečije najdublje strahove u stvarnost i podsjetiti ljude da su u konačnici ipak samo obična smrtna bića.

U filmu MJESTO BEZ SJEĆANJA trauma iz djetinjstva iz podsvijesti prelazi u stvarnost. Kroz svoj hrabar i duboko ličan eksperimentalni film reditelj Philip Treschan suočava svoju majku i sebe s ranama koje mu je nanijeo čin seksualnog nasilja koje je iskusio u djetinjstvu tokom odmora u austrijskim Alpama. Šuma u Treschanovom filmu postaje krajolik iz podsvijesti čovjeka kojeg još uvijek progone duhovi prošlosti.

Specifičan prostor glavni je lik filma VOĆNJACI reditelja Antoina Chapona, pri čemu Chapon nikada direktno ne pokazuje taj prostor. Kvart Al Basateen (ili voćnjaci) u Damasku, glavnom gradu Sirije, prikazuje se na fotografijama, arhivskim slikama i u digitalnim rekonstrukcijama, ali najjasnije živi u sjećanjima svojih stanovnika koji su bili žrtve nasilja (sada bivšeg) sirijskog režima.

Sveprisutnost nasilja u današnjem svijetu najogoljenija je u animiranom filmu EKSPOLODIRAJUĆA DJEVOJKA rediteljskog dvojca Caroline Poggi i Jonathana Vinela. Savršena je to metafora svijeta punog površnih međuljudskih odnosa i beznačajnih informacija, svijeta u kojem mladi ljudi naprosto moraju “eksplodirati” nekoliko puta dnevno.

Dok prethodni film (namjerno) nije suptilan u prikazu brojnih slojeva nasilja kojima su ljudi svakodnevno izloženi, RAZMIŠLJANJE O MIRU TOKOM ZRAČNE UZBUNE nudi prigušeniji prikaz nove normalnosti u Ukrajini. Inspirisan istoimenim esejom Virginije Woolf, film jednostavni čin nastavka

življenja bilježi kao miran vid izdržljivosti i prkosa, sugerišući da se mir, u svom najradikalnijem obliku, možda krije u činu odbijanja da vlastitu humanost potčinimo buci rata.

Film Doriana Jespersa LOYNES zaokupljujući je uron u apsurdni, nadrealni slučaj suđenja lešu, koji je održan u 19. stoljeću u Liverpoolu. Film već u svojoj uvodnoj sceni demontira logiku vremena i prostora, uvlačeći gledaoca u teatralni prostor u kojem bezimeno tijelo postaje predmet nemilosrdnog proučavanja. Jaspers je stvorio oštru satiru: iako smješten u relativno davnu prošlost, film postaje ogledalo sadašnjeg trenutka definisanog performativnim zgražanjem i neprekidnim komentarima.

Ako vam se prema dosadašnjem opisu program čini nemilosrdnim, dopustite da vas utješi činjenica da ćete u njemu pronaći i dosta nježnih glasova. ČUJEŠ LI ME? istražuje delikatni prostor doma, sjećanja i digitalnih veza. Kroz fragmentirane dijelove dijaloga i nježne vizuelne prizore, film prerasta u meditaciju o udaljenosti, kako fizičkoj tako i emotivnoj, te o novim formama intimnosti uuoblikovanim tehnologijom. Film zapravo govori o stvarima koje ostaju neizrečene u trenucima pucketave tišine i sitnog ogovaranja.

Zasnovan na životu ukrajinskog autora i glavnog urednika Leva Rebeta, film KRITIČNO STANJE osvrt je na slojevita iskustva ratnih izbjeglica, kako sadašnjih tako i bivših. U filmu čija je radnja smještena u Minhenu ritmovi svakodnevnog života prepliću se s dubljim temama egzila, identiteta i osjećaja privremenosti.

Film STVARI KOJE SU SKRIVENE OD POSTANKA SVIJETA poziva gledaoce na mjesto gdje su uspomene, rituali i krajolici međusobno zavisni. U cijelosti bez osude, film sugeriše nestanak načina života koji odbacuju mlađe generacije. On odaje počast intimnom odnosu seljana s njihovim mrtvima i zadužbini koju oni ostavljaju nevoljnim nasljednicima. Film postaje elegija o uspomenama, ljudima i mjestima koji nam nestaju pred očima.

Na kraju, ali ne manje bitan, film Albana Muje VJERUJEM DA ME PORTRET SPASIO suočava nas sa činjenicom koju ljudi prečesto ignorišu: da je naše preživljavanje privilegija i da bi jednog dana u potpunosti moglo zavisiti od nekog drugog. Na jednostavan i u smislu forme statičan način, autor filma oživljava sve svoje svoje savremenike koji nisu rođeni jer su njihovi preci istrebljeni u ratu.

Ovogodišnji program oblikovao je selekcijski komitet koji su činili Sejla Lajlani, Luka Vlaho, Koree Wilrycx, a finalizirala ga je i nadzirala Bianca Lucas.

Više nego ikada program odražava pluralnost glasova koji duh našeg vremena reflektuju na inovativne, smiješne, tužne, ljute, lijepe i ružne načine. Nadamo se da ćete uživati u programu, ali više od svega da će vas on navesti da razmišljate, osjećate i izvučete vlastite zaključke.

E How thin is the line between reality and fiction, really? Do people nowadays live in a world of fiction more than they do in the real world? Visual artist and director Gala Hernández López tries to answer these questions in her film +10K. In a hybrid docu-fictional portrait, the director paints a picture of a young man named Paul and his search for fame and success in the world of digital capitalism. It is a world of today that prefers to measure a person by their capitalist and virtual potential rather than by what they truly are.

The boundary between the virtual and the real world—viewed through the lens of unsettling technological progress—is also explored by conceptual artist Jeppe Lange in his short animated film I AM EVERYTHING. Following the premise that artificial intelligence can attain the level of human consciousness, the voice of the AI takes an all-knowing, godlike quality, yet finds no answer to the question of the essence of human existence, suggesting that, despite all its progress, humankind may never uncover the mysteries of life and the universe.

Humanity’s insatiable hunger to discover the reason for its existence is also the theme of the animated film GOD IS SHY, directed by Jocelyn Charles. In a film that blends elements of grotesque horror with a Japanese animation style, Charles shows what it means to penetrate one’s own subconsciousness, a place that, at any moment, can turn a person’s deepest fears into reality and remind them that, in the end, they are merely mortal beings.

It is precisely in the film PLACE WITHOUT MEMORY that childhood trauma crosses over from the subconscious to reality. Through a brave and deeply personal experimental film form, director Philip Treschan confronts his mother and himself with the wounds of sexual violence he experienced as a child. The forest becomes a landscape of the subconscious of a man still haunted by the ghosts of the past.

Space itself is the main character in the film AL BASATEEN by director Antoine Chapon—yet Chapon never shows this space directly. Al Basateen, a neighborhood in the Syrian capital of Damascus, is depicted through photographs, archival footage, and digital reconstructions, but it lives most vividly in the memories of its inhabitants, who are victims of the systematic violence of the (now former) Syrian regime.

The omnipresence of violence in today’s world is arguably most laid bare in the animated film THE EXPLODING GIRL by directing duo Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel. It is a perfect metaphor for a world of fleeting human connections and information overload—a world in which young people simply have to “explode” several times a day.

While that latter film is (intentionally) not subtle about the layers of violence humans endure on a daily basis, THOUGHTS ON PEACE IN AN AIR RAID offers more understated insight into the new normal in Ukraine. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s essay of the same name, the film captures the

simple act of continuing to live as a quiet assertion of resilience and defiance. It suggests that peace, in its most radical form, may lie in the refusal to surrender one’s humanity to the noise of war.

LOYNES by Dorian Jespers is an immersive plunge into the absurd, a surreal retelling of the trial of a corpse in nineteenth-century Liverpool. From its very first scene, the film dismantles temporal and spatial logic, drawing the viewer into a theatrical space with rich visuals where a nameless dead body becomes the subject of relentless scrutiny. Jespers crafts a biting satire though anchored in a historical setting, the film becomes a mirror for our present moment, one defined by performative outrage and ceaseless commentary.

If thus far the narrators of this programme seem unforgiving, rest assured that there is no lack of tender voices. CAN YOU HEAR ME? explores the delicate terrain of home, memory, and digital connection. Through fragmented exchanges and gently rendered visuals, the film becomes a meditation on distance, both physical and emotional, as well as the evolving forms of intimacy shaped by technology. It is about what is left unsaid through crackly silences and beneath petty gossip.

CRITICAL CONDITION by Ukrainian author and editor-in-chief Lev Rebet reflects on the layered experiences of wartime diaspora, both past and present. Set in Munich, the film weaves together the everyday rhythms of life with the deeper undercurrents of exile, identity, and impermanence.

THINGS HIDDEN SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD invites viewers into a space where memory, ritual, and landscape are interdependent. Never judgemental, the film hints at the decay of a way of life abandoned by its younger generation. It honours the villagers’ intimate relationship with the dead, and the legacy they leave behind to no willing inheritors. The film becomes an elegy to memory, people, and places vanishing before our very eyes.

Finally, Alban Muja’s I BELIEVE THE PORTRAIT SAVED ME confronts viewers with the fact that humanity all too often chooses to ignore: our survival is a privilege that may one day be entirely decided by someone else. Though simple and static in form, the filmmaker brings to life all his contemporaries who have been rendered unborn the moment their forefathers were exterminated in a war.

This year, the programme was composed by a selection committee consisting of Šejla Lajlani, Luka Vlaho, and Koree Wilrycx, finalised and overseen by Bianca Lucas.

More than ever, the programme represents a plurality of voices drawn to the zeitgeist captured in innovative, funny, sad, angry, beautiful, and (intentionally) ugly ways. We hope you enjoy this constellation of films but, above all, we hope it will make you think, feel, and arrive at your own conclusions.

FILMOGRAFIJA / FILMOGRAPHY: 2025 – DIEU EST TIMIDE / GOD IS SHY (kratki animirani film / short animation)

Tokom putovanja vozom, Ariel i Paul vrijeme ubijaju crtajući svoje najveće strahove. Njihova igra dobije neočekivani obrat kada se Gilda, njihova misteriozna saputnica, uključi u konverzaciju. Njen odnos prema strahu naizgled je znatno manje naivan od njihovih šaljivih crteža.

Jocelyn Charlesst sudirao je primijenjene umjetnosti na školama Boulle, Estienne i Gobelins, gdje je usavršio vještine crtanja i animacije. Radi kao ilustrator i reditelj muzičkih spotova i kratkih filmova. Od 2020. godine sarađuje sa studijem Remembers koji okuplja talentovane animatore, ilustratore i filmske autore.

E During a train ride, Ariel and Paul pass the time sketching their deepest fears. Their game takes an unexpected turn when Gilda, a mysterious passenger, intrudes on their exchange. Her relationship with fear seems far less innocent than their playful drawings.

Jocelyn Charles studied applied arts at the École Boulle, Estienne, and the Gobelins, where he hones his skills in drawing and animation. An illustrator and director of music videos and short films, since 2020 he has collaborated with Remembers, a studio where animation, illustration, and cinema talents converge.

Philip Treschan magistrirao je umjetnost i medije na Univerzitetu za umjetnost u Berlinu. U svome radu pokazuje konstantan i neiscrpan interes za fizički pokret i eksperimentiše s narativnim strukturama koristeći se sjećanjima i ličnim iskustvima.

Philip Treschan graduated with master’s degree in art and media from the University of Arts Berlin. In his work, he continuously finds an inexhaustible interest in physical movement and experimentation with narrative structures through memories and biographical experiences.

Na kraju, u filmu A FERA DO MANGUE,u ženi se budi iskonska sila koja se suprotstavlja nasilju muškarca koji sebe smatra nedodirljivim.

E The Directors’ Factory celebrates its tenth edition this year with the Fortaleza! Directors’ Fortnight. Four short films, co-written and -directed by young filmmakers from Brazil, Cuba, France, Israel, and Portugal were presented in the framework of the Directors’ Fortnight at the Festival de Cannes this year.

Psihički poremećaji su napustili ljude, poprimili antropomorfni oblik i pronašli svoje novo utočište.

Niko Radas diplomirao je kiparstvo na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Od 2004. godine radi u Klinici za psihijatriju Vrapče u kojoj provodi terapiju umjetnošću. Uz razne klasične likovne tehnike kojima se koristi u radu, Niko je pokrenuo filmsku radionicu u kojoj piše scenarije, dizajnira scenografije za animirane i dokumentarne filmove, koje potom proizvodi zajedno s pacijentima.

E Leaving their human hosts, mental disorders take on anthropomorphic forms and find new refuge.

Niko Radas is a graduate of the Sculpture Department of the Zagreb Academy of Fine Arts. Since 2004, he has been working at the University Psychiatric Hospital Vrapče, facilitating an art as therapy programme. Alongside with the various classical art techniques he uses in his work, Radas initiated music and film workshops, in the latter of which he writes scripts and designs scenography for animated films and documentaries, which he then produces together with patients.

Total Refusal je pseudomarksistički gerilski pokret koji istražuje i praktikuje strategije umjetničke intervencije u modernim videoigrama. Kako se većina narativnih tokova u modernim videoigrama služi zatvorenom petljom govornih figura, taj žanr načelno ne preispituje vrijednosti igrača, već afirmira dominantne moralne koncepte. Svjesni da videoigre kao medij trenutno ne ostvaruju svoj kulturni potencijal, Total Refusal nastoji osvojiti prostor digitalnih igara i dati mu novu upotrebnu vrijednost. Krećući se unutar videoigara, ali odbacujući zaplete koji su im namijenjeni, Total Refusal preusmjerava te resurse ka novim aktivnostima i narativnim strukturama, nastojeći kreirati „javni“ prostor s kritičkim potencijalom. Služe se tehnikama aproprijacije i ponovnog posvećenja resursa videoigara. Njihovi filmovi i predstave su, između ostalog, predstavljeni na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu i u Muzeju savremene umjetnosti MoMa.

E Total Refusal is the pseudo-Marxist media guerrilla which explores and practises strategies for artistic intervention in contemporary video games. As most mainstream game narratives employ the same infinite loops of reactionary tropes, the genre largely fails to challenge the values of its players and instead affirms hegemonic moral concepts. Acknowledging that this media is currently not realising its cultural potential, Total Refusal aims to appropriate digital game spaces and put them to new use. Moving within games but casting aside the intended gameplay, Total Refusal rededicates resources to new activities and narratives, looking to create “public” spaces with critical potential. It works with tools of appropriation and rededication of game resources. Total Refusal’s films and performances have been presented at venues including the Berlin International Film Festival, the Locarno Film Festival, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York CIty, among others.

KAKO NESTATI je antiratni film u pravom smislu tog izraza, potraga za mogućnošću mira na najmanje očekivanom mjestu – u ratnim igrama. Film je posveta neposlušnosti i dezerterstvu kako u digitalnim tako i u stvarnim ratovima.

E HOW TO DISAPPEAR is an anti-war movie in the true sense of the word, searching as it does for possibilities for peace in the most unlikely place of a war game. It’s a tribute to disobedience and desertion—in both digital and real-world warfare.

Snimljen poput sportske videoigre, film SVIJET NA KOCKI naopačke izvrće principe pobjede i poraza te preispituje društvene uloge u prostoru između ličnog suvereniteta i kolektivne ravnodušnosti. Pri suočavanju s katastrofom, osjećaj političke nemoći preživljava. Ništa manje nego svijet na kocki.

E Shot in sports video games, WORLD AT STAKE turns the ordering principles of victory and defeat upside down and negotiates social roles between individual sovereignty and collective passivity. In the face of catastrophe, a feeling of political powerlessness remains. Nothing less than the world is at stake.-

Johanne se prvi put zaljubljuje, i to u svoju nastavnicu. Da bi shvatila svoje emocije, piše o vlastitim iskustvima i osjećanjima. Kada njene majka i baka pročitaju Johannin dnevnik, šokirane su njegovim intimnim sadržajem, ali zatim shvataju da ima književni potencijal. Dok one raspravljaju da li dnevnik treba objaviti, Johanne pokušava navigirati procjep između svojih romantičnih maštarija i stvarnosti, a sve tri žene suočavaju se sa svojim različitim stavovima o ljubavi, seksualnosti i samospoznaji. SNOVI (SEKS, LJUBAV) dio je SEKS-LJUBAV-SNOVI trilogije.

Dag Johan Haugerud rođen je u 1964. godine u Norveškoj. Njegov film PRIPADAM osvojio je četiri norveške filmske nagrade Amanda – za najbolji film, najbolju režiju, najbolju glavnu glumicu i najbolji scenarij. Film OPREZ, DJECA premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji i osvojio je nagrade Zmaj za najbolji film i najboljeg glumca na Filmskom festivalu u Göteborgu, kao i devet Amanda nagrada. Film SEKS, prvi u trilogiji filmova, prikazan je u programu „Panorama“ na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2024. godine. Naredni film u trilogiji LJUBAV premijeru je imao u takmičarskoj konkurenciji Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji. Haugerud se vratio u Berlin 2025. godine s posljednjim filmom u trilogiji SNOVI (SEKS, LJUBAV), gdje je nagrađen Zlatnim medvjedom za najbolji film.

E Johanne falls in love for the first time—with her teacher. To capture her feelings, she documents her emotions and experiences in writing. When her mother and grandmother read what she has written, they are initially shocked by its intimate content but soon see that it has literary potential. As they debate whether to publish it, Johanne navigates the gap between her romantic fantasy and reality, and all three women confront their differing views on love, sexuality, and self-discovery. DREAMS (SEX LOVE) is part of the SEX-LOVE-DREAMS trilogy.

Dag Johan Haugerud was born in Norway in 1964. His film I BELONG won four Amanda Norwegian Film Awards, for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress in a Leading Role, and Best Screenplay. BEWARE OF CHILDREN had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival and won the Dragon Award for Best Film and Best Actor at the Gothenburg Film Festival, as well as nine Amanda Awards. SEX screened in the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2024. The first in a trilogy, it was followed by LOVE, which premiered in competition at Venice. Haugerud returned to the Berlinale in 2025 with the final part, DREAMS (SEX LOVE), which won the Golden Bear for Best Film.

O último azul / Plava staza / The Blue Trail

Sedamdesetsedmogodišnja Tereza čitav život provela je u malom industrijalizovanom gradu u Amazonu, a onda joj vlasti jednoga dana naređuju da se mora preseliti u stambenu koloniju za penzionere. Kolonija je smještena u izolovanom području, a penzionere se tamo šalje kako bi „uživali“ u finalnim godinama svojih života i oslobodili mlade da se fokusiraju na razvoj i produktivnost. Tereza odbija prihvatiti nametnutu joj sudbinu. Umjesto toga, kreće na putovanje rijekama i pritokama Amazona da bi sebi ispunila posljednju želju prije nego što joj bude oduzeta sloboda. Ta odluka će trajno promijeniti njenu sudbinu.

Gabriel Mascaro rođen je 1983. godine u Brazilu, a živi u Recifeu. Sa svojim filmovima osvojio je preko pedeset međunarodnih filmskih nagrada. New York Times 2016. godine uvrstio je njegov film NEONSKI BIK na svoju listu 10 najboljih filmova godine. Iste godine, u Lincoln centru u New Yorku održana je retrospektiva njegovih filmova. Njegov film BOŽANSKA LJUBAV prikazan je u programu „Panorama“ Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2019. godine, a njegov najnoviji film PLAVA STAZA u Berlinu je osvojio Veliku nagradu žirija Srebreni medvjed.

E At seventy-seven, Tereza has lived her whole life in a small industrialised town in the Amazon. One day, she receives an official government order to relocate to a seniors’ housing colony. The colony is an isolated area where the elderly are brought to “enjoy” their final years, freeing the younger generation to focus on productivity and growth. Tereza refuses to accept this imposed fate. Instead, she embarks on a transformative journey through the rivers and tributaries of the Amazon to fulfill one last wish before her freedom is taken away—a decision that will change her destiny forever.

Gabriel Mascaro was born in Brazil in 1983 and is based in Recife. His films have won more than fifty international awards. NEON BULL was selected as one of the Top 10 Best Films of 2016 by “The New York Times.” In the same year, his work was presented in a retrospective at the Lincoln Center in New York City.

Runowâru / Renoir: odrastanje u Tokiju / Renoir

Predgrađe Tokija, 1987. Keiji, otac jedanaestogodišnje Fuki, liječi se od smrtonosnog oboljenja i svako malo odlazi u bolnicu. Njena majka, Utako, pod stalnim je stresom jer se brine za muža i istovremeno obavlja dva posla s punim radnim vremenom. Prepuštena sama sebi i svojoj bujnoj mašti, Fuki postaje fascinirana telepatijom i uranja sve dublje u svoj izmišljeni svijet.

Chie Hayakawa rođena je u Tokiju, a studirala je fotografiju na Školi za vizuelne umjetnosti u New Yorku. Njen kratki film NIAGARA izabran je za podršku Cinéfondation fondacije na Fimskom festivalu u Cannesu 2014. godine. Njen kratki film PLAN 75 bio je dio i početak omnibus filma DESET GODINA JAPAN, a potom ga je proširila i snimila istoimeni dugometražni film koji je 2022. godine osvojio Zlatnu kameru na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Njen drugi dugometražni film RENOIR: ODRASTANJE U TOKIJU premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskoj konkurenciji Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2025. godine.

E Suburban Tokyo, 1987. Eleven-year-old Fuki’s father, Keiji, is battling a terminal illness, and in and out of hospital. Her mother, Utako, is constantly stressed out from caring for Keiji while holding down a full-time job. Left alone with her rich imagination, Fuki becomes fascinated by telepathy and falls ever deeper into her own fantasy world.

Chie Hayakawa was born in Tokyo and studied photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Her short film NIAGARA was selected for the Cinéfondation at the Festival de Cannes in 2014.

Un poeta / Pjesnik / A Poet

Opsesija Oscara Restrepoa poezijom nije mu donijela slavu. Kako stari i postaje sve nestabilniji, prigrljava kliše o poeti iz sjene. Susret sa Yurlady, tinejdžerkom skromnih korijena, kao i pomoć koju joj pruža kako bi razvila svoj talent, unosi nešto svjetlosti u njegov život. Ali uvlačenje Yurlady u svijet pjesnika možda nije rješenje.

Simón Mesa Soto studirao je audiovizuelne komunikacije na Univerzitetu Antioquia, a potom stekao zvanje magistra na Školi filma u Londonu. Njegov diplomski film LEIDI osvojio je Zlatnu palmu 2014. godine na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Dvije godine kasnije, njegov naredni kratki film MAJKA također je prikazan u zvaničnoj konkurenciji festivala u Cannesu, kao i njegov prvi dugometražni film AMPARO, koji je 2021. godine imao premijeru u programu „Sedmica kritike“ te je osvojio nagradu Zvijezda u usponu Fondacije „Louis Roederer“. PJESNIK , njegov drugi dugometražni film, osvojio je Nagradu žirija programa „Izvjestan pogled“ Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2025. godine.

E Oscar Restrepo’s obsession with poetry has brought him no glory. Aging and erratic, he has succumbed to the cliché of the poet in the shadows. Meeting Yurlady, a teenage girl from humble roots, and helping her cultivate her talent, brings some light to his days. But dragging her into the world of poets may not be the way.

Simón Mesa Soto studied audiovisual communication at the University of Antioquia and later pursued a master’s degree at the London Film School. His thesis film, LEIDI, won the Palme d’Or at the Festival de Cannes in 2014. His next short film, MOTHER, was also selected for the Official Competition at Cannes in 2016. AMPARO, his first feature-length film, premiered in La Semaine de la Critique at Cannes in 2021, when it won the Louis Roederer Foundation Rising Star Award. A POET, his second feature, won the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at Cannes in 2025.

Uvod / Introduction

Paolo Sorrentino stupio je na svjetsku filmsku scenu 2001. godine rediteljskim prvencem SUVIŠAN ČOVJEK i sve od tada važi za plodotvornog i cijenjenog autora. Rođen u Napulju 1970, Sorrentino je upisao studij ekonomije prije nego se okrenuo svome snu da pravi filmove. Njegov talent odmah je bio vidljiv, a njegovi rani napori rezultirali su saradnjom s italijanskim filmskim stvaraocem Antoniom Capuanom, s kojim je napisao scenarij za film NAPULJSKA PRAŠINA. SUVIŠAN ČOVJEK – film s dvije narativne linije, o dva muškarca istog imena, Antonio Pisapia – razlikovao se od tradicionalne italijanske kinematografije. Neobičan autorski pristup i upečatljivi likovi osigurali su filmu premijeru na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji i postavili standard za Sorrentinove uobičajene teme: dualnost, krivnju, nostalgiju i dekadentno ponašanje bogatih i manje bogatih u borbi s njihovim zajedničkim neprijateljem – protokom vremena.

Sorrentinovo napuljsko porijeklo nije samo biografski fakt, već i okosnica njegovog pogleda na svijet. Likovi njegovih filmova često se kreću među raskošnim ruševinama koje su metafora za zemlju i svijest oblikovane stoljećima katoličanstva, ljepote i težine. Ali ono što Sorrentino, prema vlastitim riječima, najviše duguje Napulju jeste njegov smisao za humor. Sorrentinovi filmovi nikada ne teže da budu shvaćeni previše ozbiljno, a njegov zaštitni znak postalo je to što u tuzi pronalazi humor, u svetom pronalazi apsurdno, a u propadanju pronalazi nježnost.

Film SUVIŠAN ČOVJEK označio je i početak Sorrentinove saradnje i prijateljstva s glumcem Tonijem Servillom koji mu je na brojnim projektima bio izvor inspiracije. U filmu POSLJEDICE LJUBAVI Servillo igra usamljenog, izolovanog muškarca koji se upetljao u poslove s mafijom. Sorrentinu je ta sporogoruća studija karaktera donijela međunarodnu slavu. Film je premijerno prikazan u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, kao i Sorrentinov treći film PORODIČNI PRIJATELJ, priča o “odbojnom” zelenašu koji se predstavlja kao “porodični prijatelj”, siromašnim porodicama koje vreba i pozajmljuje im novac uz ogromnu kamatu. U ovom filmu začinjenom dozom gorke ironije, Sorrentino je dodatno razradio specifična obilježja svoga filmskog jezika, ali film se istovremeno doimao poput kraja jednog i početka drugog poglavlja njegovog filmskog stvaralaštva. Film VELIKAN, politički portret bivšeg italijanskog premijera Giulija Adreottija, potvrdio je taj prelaz, a Sorrentinu donio Nagradu žirija Filmskog festivala u Cannesu i zacementirao njegovu reputaciju autora sklonog provokativnim pričama. Pretvorivši suhoparnu političku

temu u nešto slično gotičkoj operi, Sorrentino je potvrdio da majstorski vlada filmskim ritmovima i vizuelnom koreografijom. Temi mutnog mizanscena italijanske politike vratio se u još jednom filmu LORO u kojem je Servillo majstorski interpretirao lik zloglasnog Silvija Berlusconija. Hollywoodu nije dugo trebalo da “upeca” Sorrentina. Film OVO MORA DA JE TO MJESTO bila je njegova odiseja kroz trbuh zvijeri koja su Sjedinjene Američke Države sa Seanom Pennom kao vodičem. Penn je izgradio lik penzionisanog muzičara, nekadašnje postpank rok-zvijezde (à la Robert Smith iz Curea) koji, nakon što ga obavijeste o smrti njegovog otuđenog oca, preživjele žrtve Holokausta, kreće na proputovanje Amerikom sa ciljem da pronađe očevog nacističkog mučitelja. Kao i njegova tri prethodna filma, i ovaj je premijeru imao u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, gdje je Sorrentinu donio njegovu drugu Nagradu žirija. Film je također dokazao da je Sorrentinov način gradnje likova i svjetova imun na izazove koji prate rad u različitim kulturnim kontekstima. Sorrentino je sposoban za neprimjetan prelaz s filmskih priča smještenih u njegovom rodnom okruženju na one ukorijenjene u potpuno različitoj kulturi i od rada s italijanskim glumcima na rad sa zvijezdama Hollywoda čiji je maternji jezik engleski. Tu sposobnost potvrdio je i u filmu MLADOST, tihom meditativnom djelu o starenju, protoku vremena, uspomenama i smislu života čija radnja je smještena u jednom švicarskom odmaralištu, a u kojem su glavne uloge odigrali Michael Caine i Harvey Keitel. ”Uprkos svim njenim manama, Italija mi se i dalje čini kao najbolje mjesto za život”, izjavio je Sorrentino, potvrdivši da je uzemljen u svojoj domovini. Da to nije bio slučaj, nakon filma OVO MORA DA JE TO MJESTO, mogla ga je progutati holivudska mašina. Umjesto toga, u Rimu je snimio film VELIKA LJEPOTA o ostarjelom piscu (Servillo) koji se kreće u rimskom visokom društvu i odaje počast svim ljepotama (u širem smislu te riječi) koje su oblikovale njegov život i njegovu karijeru. Kao i u svim Sorrentinovim filmovima, iza glamura krije se nostalgija, a iza te nostalgije krije se duboka tuga zbog jedine neosporne životne istine: da sve stari i propada. Ovaj film je Sorrentinu donio nagradu Oscar Američke filmske akademije za najbolji film na stranom jeziku, kao i Zlatni globus i nagradu BAFTA.

“Svi moji filmovi su lični, a često i autobiografski.” Nigdje to nije tako očigledno kao u filmu BOŽIJA RUKA, s kojim se Sorrentino vratio kući u Napulj, a čiji glavni lik, mladi Fabbieto, predstavlja samog reditelja iz mladosti. U naselju Vomero, gdje je Sorrentino odrastao, Fabiettovo djetin-

jstvo prikazano je kroz nezaboravne, gotovo preslatke, ali nikada kičaste vinjete. Te vinjete čine da se gledalac osjeća kao da je ušao u film i može osjetiti tešku napuljsku vrućinu i uživati u slobodi umjetnikovih ranih godina. Ali film gledaocu također približava tragediju koja je uzrok rediteljevog akutnog osjećaja gubitka i tuge. Naime, kada je Sorrentino imao šesnaest godina, njegovi roditelji umrli su od trovanja ugljen-monoksidom. Uprkos patnji koju prikazuje (ili možda baš zbog nje) film BOŽIJA RUKA navodi gledaoce da požele zauvijek ostati u Napulju s Fabiettom.

U svome (za sada) pretposljednjem filmu PARTENOPA (2024) Sorrentino se zadržao u Napulju, ali se po prvi put “zamislio u cipelama” glavnog ženskog lika. Parthenope ima sve što se može poželjeti: lijepa je, cijenjena, moćna. Pa, ipak, koja je vrijednost svega toga kada je, po drugi put, progone duhovi prošlosti, a sva njena postignuća blijede pred čežnjom za onim što je bilo ranije?

“Život počinje kao osvajački pohod, a završava s gubitkom. To je tema. Gotovo uvijek.”

Sarajevo Film Festival odaje počast Sorrentinovom izuzetnom opusu par sedmica prije nego što njegov najnoviji film GRAZIA otvori osamdeset i drugi Međunarodni filmski festival u Veneciji te ćemo tako u Sarajevu, sada i ubuduće, imati priliku da svjedočimo brojnim osvajačkim uspjesima i gubicima Paola Sorrentina. Mada se čini da do sada u njegovom životu dominiraju osvajački uspjesi.

E Paolo Sorrentino charged onto the global cinema stage in 2001 with his directorial debut, ONE MAN UP, and has firmly held his position as a prolific and lauded auteur ever since. Born in Naples in 1970, Sorrentino started studying economics before pursuing his dream of making films. His talent was quickly apparent and his early efforts led to a collaboration with Italian filmmaker Antonio Capuano, with whom he cowrote THE DUST OF NAPLES.

ONE MAN UP—a dual narrative about two men both named Antonio Pisapia—differed from the expected traditions of Italian cinema. Its unusual approach and distinct character earned the film a premiere at the Venice Film Festival and set the tone for Sorrentino’s recurring themes: duality, guilt, nostalgia, and the decadent actions of both the rich and the less so as they battle a common adversary: the passage of time.

Sorrentino’s roots in Naples are not just biographical; they are foundational to his worldview. His characters often walk through opulent ruins, metaphors for a country and conscious-

ness shaped by centuries of Catholicism, beauty, and burden. But what he by his own admission owes most to Naples is his sense of humour. His work never takes itself too seriously, and Sorrentino has made it his signature to find comedy in grief, absurdity in holiness, and tenderness in decay.

ONE MAN UP also marked the beginning of a loving collaboration with the actor Toni Servillo, who would go on to become Sorrentino’s creative muse for many projects. In THE CONSEQUENCES OF LOVE, Servillo plays a lonely, isolated man who’s entangled with the mafia. It is with this slow-burning character study that Sorrentino garnered international acclaim. It premiered in competition at the Festival de Cannes, as did his third feature, THE FAMILY FRIEND, which follows an old, “repulsive” moneylender who calls himself a “family friend” as he preys on poor families by lending them money at exploitative rates. Laced with bitter irony, the film continues to explore the established hallmarks of Sorrentino’s work but at the same time feels like a bookend of the next chapter of his filmmaking.

IL DIVO confirms that transition in venturing a political portrait of former Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti that won the Jury Prize at Cannes and cemented Sorrentino’s reputation for provocative storytelling. By turning dry politics into something akin to gothic opera, he affirmed his mastery of cinematic rhythm and visual choreography. Sorrentino later revisited the seedy backstage of Italian politics with another of Servillo’s brilliant embodiments—this time as the infamous Silvio Berlusconi in LORO. It didn’t take long for Hollywood superstars to reel Sorrentino in. In THIS MUST BE THE PLACE, he made an odyssey into the belly of the beast of the United States, with Sean Penn as tour guide. Penn donned the creation of a retired post-punk rock star (à la Robert Smith of the Cure) who, upon learning of the death of his estranged father, a Holocaust survivor, travels through the rural United States in an effort to hunt down his nazi tormentor. As in the case of Sorrentino’s previous three films, it premiered in competition at Cannes and brought Sorrentino his second Jury Prize. He also proved that his fabrication of worlds and characters is immune to the difficulties that come with working in a different cultural context. He can shift seamlessly from making films in his native surroundings to more distant environments—and from working with Italian actors to anglophone Hollywood icons. We see it again with Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel in YOUTH, a quiet meditation on aging, time, memory, and meaning at a Swiss spa.

‘Italy, for all its flaws, still seems to me the best place in the world to live,” Sorrentino affirms, reassuring us that he is tethered to Italy. If he weren’t, THIS MUST BE THE PLACE might have led to him being ingested by the Hollywood machine. Instead, he made THE GREAT BEAUTY. Shot in Rome, it follows an aging writer (Servillo) as he floats through Roman high society, paying his respects to all the beauties (in the larger sense of the word) that have shaped his life and career. As always in the case of Sorrentino’s work, behind the glamour there is nostalgia, and behind that nostalgia is grief in response to arguably the only given truth of life: decay. The film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, along with a BAFTA and a Golden Globe.

“Everything in my films is personal. Often autobiographical.”

Nowhere is that clearer than in THE HAND OF GOD, the film with which Sorrentino comes home to Naples, and in which the character of Young Fabbieto embodies the director’s own, younger self. In the Vomero neighbourhood, where he grew up, Fabietto’s childhood is depicted through unforgettable, sweet, almost saccharine—but never kitsch—vignettes. They make us feel like we are there in the sweltering Neapolitan heat with him, basking in the freedom of his tender years. But the film also lets us in on the tragedy that shaped the director’s acute sense of loss and grief: when he was sixteen, both his parents died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Despite the suffering it eventually depicts (or is it because of it?), THE HAND OF GOD makes us want to stay in Naples, with Fabietto, forever.

In Sorrentino’s penultimate film (so far), PARTHENOPE (2024) Sorrentino stays in Naples but, for the first time, puts himself in the shoes of a female main protagonist. Parthenope has “everything”: beauty, recognition, power. Yet, what of it when—once again—one is haunted by ghosts past for whom painful longing eventually makes all one’s achievements pale.

‘Life is a conquest at first, and a loss later. That’s the theme. Almost always.’

It is timely that the thirty-first Sarajevo Film Festival pays tribute to Sorrentino’s extraordinary filmography mere weeks before his newest film, GRAZIA, opens the eighty-second Venice Film Festival. Thus, we in Sarajevo will have, and shall continue to witness, the many conquests and losses of Paolo Sorrentino. So far, mostly conquests, it would seem.

Osamdesete su godine prošlog stoljeća, a Fabietto Schisa je sedamnaestogodišnji zbunjeni tinejdžer koji traži svoje mjesto pod suncem. Pronalazi radost u okrilju prekrasne porodice koja voli život, uživa u nepodopštinama i čiji se članovi s velikim uživanjem petljaju jedni drugima u živote i komplikovane međuljudske odnose. A onda dva događaja mijenjaju sve. Prvi je dolazak u Napulj Bogu slične sportske zvijezde, slavnog fudbalskog idola Maradone, koji Fabietta i sve stanovnike tog oronulog grada ispunjava do tada nezamislivim osjećajem ponosa. Drugi je nezamisliva nesreća koja će Fabiettu izvući tlo pod nogama i definisati njegovu budućnost.

E It’s the 1980s and seventeen-year old Fabietto Schisa might be an awkward Italian teen struggling to find his place, but he finds joy in an amazing family who love life, relish mischief, and take deep pleasure in meddling in one another’s complicated relationships. Then comes a pair of events that alter everything. One is the triumphant arrival in Naples of a god-like athletic legend: high-flying football idol Maradona, who has Fabietto—and the whole scrappy city—feeling a pride that once seemed impossible. The other is an inconceivable accident that will rip the bottom of Fabietto’s world out from under him—and set his future in motion.

Il Divo / Velikan

U ranu zoru u Rimu, kada svi ostali spavaju, jedan čovjek je budan. Taj čovjek je Giulio Andreott. Budan je jer mora raditi, pisati knjige, kretati se u krugovima uglednika i, posljednje, ali ne manje bitno, moliti se. Smiren, vješt i nedokučiv, Andreotti je više od četiri decenije italijanski simbol moći. Početkom devedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća činilo se da ovom uzdržanom, a istovremeno provokativnom, nedokučivom, ali i pouzdanom čovjeku, ništa ne stoji na putu u nastojanju da, bez arogancije i poniznosti, osvoji sedmi premijerski mandat. Nadomak sedamdesete, Andreotti je gerijatokrat koji se, poput Boga, nikoga ne boji i ničemu se ne divi jer divljenje viđa na licima svih s kojima dolazi u kontakt. Sve dok mu najopasniji protivnik u Italiji – mafija – ne objavi rat. U tom trenutku stvari se mijenjaju, možda čak i za enigmatičnog, naizgled besmrtnog Andreottija.

E In Rome, at dawn, when everyone is sleeping, one man is awake. That man is Giulio Andreotti. He’s awake because he has to work, write books, move in fashionable circles and, last but not least, pray. Calm, crafty, and inscrutable, Andreotti has been a synonym for power in Italy for over four decades. At the beginning of the 1990s, this impassive yet insinuating, ambiguous yet reassuring figure appears set to assume his seventh mandate as prime minister without arrogance and without humility. Approaching seventy, Andreotti is a gerontocrat who, with all the attributes of God, is afraid of no one and does not know the meaning of awe, since he is accustomed to seeing it stamped on the faces of his interlocutors. Until the strongest counter-power in Italy, the mafia, declares war on him. Then things change—perhaps even for the enigmatic, immortal Andreotti.

La grande bellezza / Velika ljepota / The Great Beauty

Aristokratkinje, uspinjači po društvenim ljestvicama, utjecajni kriminalci, novinari, glumci, dekadentni pripadnici visokog duštva, prelati, umjetnici i intelektualci, autentični i pretpostavljeni, u centru su čudnih odnosa u očajnom Babilonu smještenom u palatama iz antičkog doba, prostranim vilama i na najljepšim gradskim terasama. Svi su tu, na okupu, i ne ostavljaju dobar utisak. Šezdesetpetogodišnji Jep Gambardella, indolentan i ravnodušan muškarac, očiju stalno zamućenih zbog ispijanja džintonika, posmatra tu paradu ispraznih, prokletih, moćnih, a istovremeno deprimiranih pripadnika ljudske vrste. Sve te pokušaje života prerušene u prividnu, rastresenu zabavu. Vrtoglava moralna atrofija. I, u pozadini svega toga, Rim tokom ljeta. Zapanjujuće lijep i indiferentan, poput mrtve dive.

E Aristocratic ladies, social climbers, politicians, high-flying criminals, journalists, actors, decadent nobles, prelates, artists, and intellectuals—whether authentic or presumed—form the tissue of these flaky relationship, all engulfed in a desperate Babylon, which plays out in the antique palaces, immense villas, and most beautiful terraces in the city. They are all here, and they are not seen in a good light. Sixty-five-year-old Jep Gambardella, indolent and disenchanted, his eyes permanently imbued with gin and tonic, watches this parade of hollow, doomed, powerful yet depressed humanity. All the effort of life, disguised as specious, distracted entertainment. A dizzying moral atony. And, behind it, Rome in summer. Stunningly beautiful and indifferent. Like a dead diva.

Zašto bi inače pedesetogodišnjak s juga osam godina živio u anonimnoj hotelskoj sobi u anonimnom gradu u italijanskoj pokrajini Švicarske? Zašto bi osam godina proveo naizgled ne radeći ništa? Godine šutnje i cigareta, godine provedene na potezu između hotelskog lobija i bara, odjeven u elegantnu odjeću i bez hobija. Grozna rutina u očekivanju da se dogodi nešto iznimno. Ali šta bi se moglo dogoditi?

E Every man has a secret he can’t confess. ButTitta Di Girolamo has more than one. It is obvious. Otherwise why would a fifty-year-old man, from the south, live in an anonymous hotel room in an anonymous town in the Italian part of Switzerland for eight years? Eight years spent not working. Apparently. Years of silence and cigarettes, years spent hanging out between the lobby and the hotel bar, wearing elegant clothes without allowing for any pastimes. An atrocious routine, in the eternal waiting that something extraordinary will happen. But what could ever happen?

Parthenope / Partenopa

U haotičnoj vrevi Napulja pratimo životnu priču neukrotive Partenope, žene nalik sili prirode, od turbulentnih postratnih godina prošlog stoljeća do današnjih dana. Film bez ograničenja istražuje njenu neumoljivu potjeru za srećom, neutaživu ljubav prema gradu s bezbroj lica i brojne oblike ljubavi – neke uzdižuće, neke destruktivne i neke koje se čuvaju u tajnosti. Partenopu okružuju živopisne, posrnule i ironične duše Napulja, tragično lijepe u svom očaju. PARTENOPA nije priča o životu jedne žene, već filmski ep o sudbini jedne zajednice, refleksija o utjecaju vremena na oblikovanje sudbina i proslava života sa svim njegovim teškim i blistavim trenucima.

E In the bustling chaos of Naples, we witness the untamed story of Parthenope, a force of nature whose life stretches from the post-war upheavals to the present day. This tale is a no-holds-barred exploration of the relentless pursuit of freedom, the insatiable love for a city with countless faces, and the myriad forms of love itself—some uplifting, some destructive, some kept secret. Parthenope is surrounded by the vibrant, fallen, and ironic souls of Naples, tragically beautiful in their despair. PARTHENOPE isn’t about just one woman; it’s the epic journey of an entire community, a reflection on how time shapes destinies, and a celebration of life in all its gritty and glorious aspects.

Uvod / Introduction

Ilya Khrzhanovskiy jedan je od najprovokativnijih i najambicioznijih predstavnika savremene umjetnosti i filma. Dijete rusko-ukrajinskog umjetničkog para, odgojen u kreativnom okruženju pozorišnih i filmskih reditelja, Khrzhanovskiy je razvio jedinistvenu viziju i odlučnost da testira limite kako filma tako i stvarnosti. U formativnim godinama bio je fasciniran eksperimentalnim formama pozorišne umjetnosti i načinima na koje se lične priče (ili njegovim riječima: “lična energija”) preklapaju s kolektivnom historijom.

Khrzhanovskiy se probio na scenu debitantskim filmom 4 u kojem je uronio u sirovu, uznemirujuću stvarnost postsovjetske Rusije. Film 4, koji je 2005. osvojio Tigra na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu, nije bio samo radikalno eksperimentalan film, već put u srce ruske tame. Baveći se temama kloniranja i rekreacije, film je naizgled svojim pipcima, svojom mješavinom dokumentarnih i igranih, realnih i nadrealnih dijelova, pokušao izvući iz podsvijesti zemlje njene najdublje mitove, komplekse i strahove. Atmosfera filma, koju mnogi opisuju kao uznemirujuću, uhvatila je bit egzistencijalne težine postsovjetskog života u istočnoevropskim društvima, u kojima su nježnost i nasilje, ljubav i mržnja nerazdvojno isprepleteni. Khrzhanovskiy insistira da radu pristupa intuitivno, a ne didaktički i s puno razmišljanja. “Ja nisam pretjerano pametan”, uporno ponavlja, ne pružajući odgovore nego stvarajući situacije iz kojih organski mogu izrasti dublje istine o trajnom utjecaju ljudske prirode i društva na historiju.

Dok je Khrzhanovskiy filmom 4 privukao pažnju filmofila, njegov dosadašnji opus istinski je definirao projekt DAU. Inicijalno zamišljen kao biografski film o sovjetskom fizičaru Levu Landau, DAU je prerastao u nešto znatno ekstremnije: sveobuhvatan, imerzivan eksperiment kolektivnog življenja i kloniranja historije (zapravo, kloniranja ponavljajuće opsesije). Tokom

otprilike jedne decenije, Khrzhanovskiy i njegovi saradnici izgradili su prostran, vjerodostojan i precizan set – samostojan svijet stvoren na sliku sovjetskog društva koji je služio kao “Institut”. Učesnici, među kojima su bili naučnici, umjetnici i obični ljudi, mjesecima su – ili čak i godinama – živjeli u tom svijetu usvojivši identitete i rutine prikladne periodu koji su rekreirali. Granice između glumca i lika, stvarnosti i fikcije, namjerno su zamućene u nastojanju da se uhvati ono što Krzhanovsky opisuje kao “kvantnu perspektivu” u kojoj se demonstrira postojanje više istina, skoro do beskonačnosti.

“Zaista sam htio stvoriti nešto približno kvantnoj prespektivi različitih mogućnosti ljudi i svijeta. Da kroz taj višeslojni pregled otjelovim neke od teorija kojima je Landau posvetio svoj život.”

Sam eksperiment postao je umjetničko djelo u velikoj mjeri i zato što je zahtijevao genijalna kreativna rješenja kako bi se osigurala autentičnost instituta. Na 70. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2020. film DAU.NATASHA (prvi od nekoliko filmova izraslih iz DAU projekta) osvojio je Srebrenog medvjeda za izuzetan umjetnički doprinos.

Metode Khrzhanovskog opisivane su i kao vizionarske i kao kontroverzne. On je odbacio tradicionalni pristup pravljenju filma i prigrlio proces u kojem se sve gura do limita. Projekt DAU izazvao je divljenje i kritike, pri čemu su ga neki opisali kao eksperiment koji je krenuo ukrivo ili čak govorili da nalikuje kultovima. Khrzhanovskiy ne bježi od takvih kritika, ali nas sve poziva da se pitamo “zašto”, a ne “kako” nešto radi.

On je iskreno fasciniran najdubljim slojevima ljudskog ponašanja i zainteresovan za istraživanje načina na koje se pojedinci prilagođavaju okruženjima i sistemima, kako pristupaju delikatnoj potjeri za slobodom, srećom i moći koja naizgled nikada ne prestaje.

Ilya Khrzhanovskiy

Obuhvat DAU projekta bio je bez presedana, a njegov ishod bile su hiljade sati snimljenog materijala, stotine učesnika i finalni proizvod koji je nemoguće kategorisati – dijelom film, dijelom umjetnička instalacija, a dijelom življeno iskustvo. Za dobro ili zlo, upornost i posvećenost umjetnosti Khrzhanovskog ne mogu se dovesti u pitanje.

U tom smislu, Khrzhanovskiy je rijetka zvijer, ne samo zbog njegovih užasavajućih kreacija koje su veće od života, već i zbog njegove istrajne posvećenosti ideji da umjetnost ne treba biti samo zabavna, već da mora biti izazovna, provokativna, životna i transformativna. Čak i po cijenu samog života! Njegov rad je jedinstveno poglavlje u historiji ljudske imaginacije dignute na visoki nivo, a rezultat tog rada je portret stalne ljudske potrage za značenjem, čak i u najiskonstruiranijoj i opresivnoj stvarnosti.

E Ilya Khrzhanovsky stands as one of the most provocative and ambitious figures in contemporary art and cinema. Born into a UkrainianRussian family of artists and brought up among directors of stage and screen, Khrzhanovsky’s early exposure to creative environments shaped his unique vision—one hell-bent on challenging the boundaries of cinema, and of reality itself. His formative years were marked by a fascination with experimental forms of theatre and the interplay between personal narrative (or, his own term, individual “energy”) and collective history.

Khrzhanovsky’s breakthrough came with his debut feature-length work: 4, a film that delved into the raw, unsettling realities of post-Soviet Russia. The recipient of the Tiger Award at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2005, 4 was not merely an exercise in radical cinema, but a venture into the Russian heart of darkness. Probing concepts of cloning and rec-

reation, its tentacles attempted to extract from the national subconscious its deepest myths, complexes, and fears by blending documentary and fiction—the real, the surreal, and the unreal. The film’s atmosphere, often described as unnerving, captures the existential weight of distinctly post-Soviet, Eastern European life: a society where tenderness and violence, love and hate, are inextricably intertwined. Khrzhanovsky maintains, however, that his approach is intuitive rather than cerebral or didactic. “I’m not very clever” he asserts over and over again, seeking not to provide answers but to create situations where deeper truths about the lasting impact of history on human nature and society can emerge organically.

While 4 put his name on the lips of all cinephile circles, it is the DAU project, perhaps, that has defined Khrzhanovsky’s legacy thus far. Conceived initially as a bio-pic about the Soviet physicist Lev Landau, DAU evolved into something far more extensive: a vast, immersive experiment in collective living and in the cloning of history (cloning—a recurring obsession). Over the span of roughly a decade, Khrzhanovsky and his collaborators constructed a sprawling, meticulously detailed set—a self-contained world modelled on a Soviet society dubbed “the Institute.” Participants, among them scientists and artists, lived within this artificial world for months or even years, adopting period-appropriate identities and routines. The boundaries between actor and character, reality and fiction, were deliberately blurred, in an attempt to capture reality in what Krzhanovsky describes as a “quantum perspective” in which the existence of multiple truths is demonstrated, practically to the point of infinity.

“I really wanted to approximate something akin to a quantum view on the possibilities of humans and the world. To embody through that multi-layered view some of the theories that Landau devoted his life to.”

The experiment itself became the artwork, not least because it called for ingenious creative solutions in order to keep the authenticity of the Institute intact. At the Berlin International Film Festival in 2020, DAU. NATASHA (the first of several films born from the DAU project) won the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution.

Khrzhanovsky’s methods were hailed as both visionary and controversial. He rejected traditional filmmaking in favour of a process that pushes everything to the limits of capacity. The DAU project generated awe and criticism; some likened it to past experiments run amok, or even cults. Khrzhanovsky does not shy away from this criticism, yet invites us all to become curious about the whys and not only the hows. He is sincere in his fascination with the deepest layers of human behaviour, and in observing how individuals adapt to environments and systems; how they navigate the delicate, ever-elusive quest for freedom, happiness, and power.

DAU’s scale was unprecedented. Thousands of hours of footage, hundreds of participants, and a final product that defied categorisation—part film, part installation, part lived experience. For better or for worse, the artist’s tenacity and commitment to art are irrefutable.

In this sense, Khrzhanovsky is a rare beast—not only in terms of his terrifying, larger-than-life creations but also, arguably, in that he has consistently been committed to the idea that art should not merely entertain but challenge, provoke, be lived, and transform—even at the cost of, well, life.

His work is a stand-alone chapter in the human history of imagination applied at terrific scale. And its gift is a portrait of an enduring human quest for meaning, even in the most constructed or oppressive of realities.

DAU. Degeneration / DAU. Degeneracija

Tajni sovjetski institut sprovodi naučne i okultne eksperimente na životinjama i ljudima sa ciljem da kreira „idealno ljudsko biće“. General KGB-a i njegovi pomoćnici biraju da ignorišu erotske avanture direktora instituta, skandalozno ponašanje cijenjenih naučnika i njihove okrutne istraživačke metode sve do trenutka kada grupa radikalnih mladih ljudi dođe u institut pretvarajući se da će biti predmet istraživanja. Ti mladi ljudi dobijaju okrutan zadatak: da zaustave raspušteno ponašanje pripadnika inteligencije i, ako bude potrebno, unište i izbrišu krhki univerzum instituta.

E A secret Soviet institute conducts scientific and occult experiments on animals and people, aiming to create an “ideal human being.” A KGB general and his aides prefer to turn a blind eye to the erotic adventures of the director and scandalous debauchery of distinguished scientists and their mad and cruel research methods. Then one day, under the guise of being test subjects, a radical youth group arrives at the institute. They are given the severe tasks of eradicating the dissolute behaviour of intelligentsia and—if need be—destroying and erasing the fragile world of the Institute.

DAU. Natasha

Nataša vodi kantinu u tajnom sovjetskom istraživačkom institutu iz pedesetih godina prošloga stoljeća. Kantina je kucajuće srce DAU univerzuma i svi navraćaju u nju: zaposlenici instituta, naučnici i gosti iz inostranstva. Svijet u kojem se Nataša kreće je mali: danju radi u kantini, a noći natopljene alkoholom provodi sa svojom mlađom kolegicom Olgom te jedna drugoj povjeravaju svoje nade da će pronaći ljubav i ostvariti drugačiju budućnost. Jedne noći Nataša se zbliži i spava s gostujućim francuskim naučnikom Lucom Bigéom. Narednog dana njen život se dramatično mijenja.

E In the 1950s, Natasha runs the canteen at a secret Soviet research institute. This is the beating heart of the DAU universe—everyone drops in here: the institute’s employees, scientists, and foreign guests. Natasha’s world is a small one, split between the demands of the canteen during the day and alcohol-fuelled nights with her younger colleague Olga, during which the two confide their hopes of romance and a different future. At a party one evening, Natasha becomes close to a visiting French scientist Luc Bigé and the two sleep together. The following day, her life takes a dramatic turn.

Program Suočavanje s prošlošću i ove godine donosi novu priliku za mapiranje savremenih svjetskih sukoba i kriza, kroz prizmu osobnih priča, historijskih presjeka i kulturnih kontradikcija. Još važnije, otvara prostor za istraživanje kako se trauma i kolektivno sjećanje pretvaraju u kreativni impuls — i kako autori kroz umjetnost odbijaju da se pomire s vladajućim ideološkim i političkim narativima i dogmama.

Program otvara svjetska premijera filma

THE FINAL BATTLE, rediteljski debi Mladena Miljanovića, uglednog konceptualnog umjetnika. Film je strukturiran oko audicija za imaginarni blockbuster, u kojima učestvuju bivši borci, civilne žrtve i mladi ljudi koji nisu direktno obilježeni ratom. Istražujući načine na koje se rat simulira, estetizira i normalizira u savremenoj kulturi, Miljanovićev film funkcioniše kao društveni eksperiment, umjetnički čin i politička refleksija — sve u jednom.

Film SJEVER JUG MUŠKARAC ŽENA Mortena Traavika i Sun Kim usredsređuje se na neobičnu bračnu agenciju iz Seula, specijalizovanu za spajanje potencijalnih partnera iz Sjeverne i Južne Koreje; kroz njihove susrete, autori otkrivaju nijansiranu intimu, čežnje i razočaranja koje prate ljubavne i bračne veze u podijeljenoj zemlji. Traavikov višegodišnji boravak i rad u Sjevernoj Koreji uključuju i kulturnu subverziju prvog reda: gostovanje benda Laibach u Pyongyangu. Dok se većina filmova fokusira na žrtve i margine sukoba, SUOČAVANJE S RATOM Tommyja Gulliksena donosi drugačiju perspektivu: direktan uvid u vrh NATO-a tokom turbulentnog perioda. Film prati posljednju godinu mandata generalnog sekretara Jensa Stoltenberga, pružajući rijetko viđenu nefiltriranu perspektivu moći u akciji. SUOČAVANJE S RATOM nije apologija političkog utjecaja — nego dokument o njegovim granicama i izazovima pred kojima se svjetski lideri svakodnevno nalaze.

Tridesetu godišnjicu od genocida u Srebrenici program Suočavanje s prošlošću obilježava filmom koji srebreničkoj tragediji pristupa u jednoj novoj optici. SREBRENIČKA TRAKA - OD TATE ZA ALISU rediteljice Chiare Sambuchi donosi priču mlade žene koja, vođena VHS kasetom koju je snimio njen otac u opkoljenoj Srebrenici, kreće na emotivno putovanje otkrivanja porodične istine. Mutne snimke postaju polazište za rekonstrukciju života i smrti, gubitka i sjećanja, lične potrage i kolektivne traume genocida iz jula 1995. godine.

Tragedija izraelsko-palestinskog sukoba u fokusu je dva izuzetna naslova. Nesumnjivo najpotresniji dokumentarac godine STAVI SVOJU DUŠU NA DLAN I HODAJ nastao je kroz više od

dvije stotine dana videokorespondencije između rediteljice Sepideh Farsi i mlade palestinske fotografkinje Fatime Hassoune sa sjevera Gaze. Kroz pikselizirane pozive pune straha, hrabrosti i kreativnosti, pomalja se portret djevojke čiji duh prkosi svakodnevnim gubicima i, čini se, čak i vlastitoj smrti.

Još jedna svjetska premijera, SVJEDOČANSTVA O BOLU I NADI je serija od šest kratkih vinjeta koju je režirala Ayelet Bargur, izvršna direktorica organizacije „The Parents Circle – Families Forum“. Kroz intimna svjedočanstva Palestinaca i Izraelaca koji su izgubili voljene, film prikazuje kako se individualni gubitak može transformisati u kolektivni poziv na pomirenje i rušenje barijera mržnje.

LIPANJSKA GIBANJA Želimira Žilnika iz 1969. godine bilježe studentske demonstracije u Beogradu iz juna 1968, koje su predstavljale najglasniju kritiku tadašnje „crvene buržoazije“. Riječ je o nezaobilaznom artefaktu novog jugoslavenskog filma i klasiku evropskog političkog filma šezdesetih godina.

TAKOĐER POBUNJENICI Christine Bartson vraća nas na kraj iste dekade, ali u kontekst Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i tamošnjeg otpora militarizmu u Vijetnamu i represiji kod kuće. Inspirisan esejem iz 1968. godine američkog socijalističkog aktiviste i pacifiste Davida E. McReynoldsa, film naglašava transgeneracijsku solidarnost i otpor. Treća svjetska premijera u programu, OSTAVLJENI Yannisa Karpouzisa je eksperimentalni film u formi dnevnika mlade aktivistkinje, u kojem se prepliću intimno i kolektivno, personalno i političko — na fonu demonstracija koje su obilježile grčku političku scenu tokom ranih dvadesetih godina ovog stoljeća. NAJGLASNIJA TIŠINA Aleksandra Reljića prati studentske demonstracije koje su obilježile politički život Srbije od novembra 2024. godine. U noći dočeka 2025, novosadski studenti i građani tišinom komemoriraju sugrađane stradale u tragediji na željezničkoj stanici. Reljić portretima mladih aktivista bilježi trenutak kada tišina postaje najglasniji oblik otpora. Pretposljednji dan programa posvećen je Drugom svjetskom ratu. AMBASADOR SJEĆANJA Magdalene Zelasko donosi potresnu priču Stanisława Zalewskog, svjedoka nacističkih koncentracionih logora. Kroz njegovu ličnu ispovijest, film oživljava fragmente prošlosti i potcrtava važnost aktivnog, intergeneracijskog pamćenja koje nadilazi formalne komemoracije. Jedini igrani dugometražni naslov u ovogodišnjem programu DEZERTER Christopha Baumanna, pokazuje da melodrama, uprkos klasičnoj filmskoj formi, ima snagu da otvori

Nebojša Jovanović

prostor za empatsku identifikaciju. Kroz priču „nemogućeg para“ — žene i muškarca koje je historija okrenula jedno protiv drugog — Baumann istražuje mogućnost novih puteva za budućnost.

Program zatvaramo istinskim modernim klasikom: FIUME O MORTE! Igora Bezinovića, dobitnik Velike nagrade u Rotterdamu 2025, istražuje kako se sjećanje na bizarnu epizodu iz historije Rijeke (ne) prenosi kroz generacije. Film završava scenama riječkog karnevala — prizorima kolektivne sreće, radosti i ljubavi. Jer FIUME O MORTE! je i Bezinovićevo strastveno ljubavno pismo rodnom gradu.

Nimalo slučajno, te scene smo odabrali i za grande finale ovogodišnjeg programa. Jer suočavanje s prošlošću ne mora biti isključivo bol, tuga i očaj. U multiverzumu ljudskih sudbina mora biti mjesta i za humor, hrabrost, ljubav — i slavljenje života.

E As it does every year, the Dealing with the Past programme provides an opportunity to map contemporary global conflicts and crisis through the prisms of personal stories, historic intersections, and cultural contradictions. More importantly, it creates a space to explore ways in which trauma and collective remembrance turn into creative impulse and in which filmmakers refuse, through their art, to accept either dogma or dominant ideological and political narratives.

The programme opens with the world premiere of THE FINAL BATTLE, the directorial debut of the highly respected conceptual artist Mladen Miljanović. The film is structured around an audition for an imaginary blockbuster in which former soldiers, civilian victims of war, and young people not directly touched by war take part. By exploring the ways in which war is simulated, aestheticised, and normalised in contemporary culture, THE FINAL BATTLE functions at once as social experiment, artistic act, and political reflection.

NORTH SOUTH MAN WOMAN, co-directed by filmmakers Morten Traavik and Sun Kim focuses on an unusual Seoul-based matchmaking agency that specialises in bringing together potential partners from North and South Korea; through clients’ encounters, the filmmakers reveal nuanced intimacy and the yearnings and disappointments that accompany love relationships and marriages in these divided nations. (Of particular note, in his many years of living and working in South Korea, Traavik organised, among various other things, a culturally subver-

sive act of the highest order: a Laibach concert in Pyongyang.)

While most of the films in the selection focus on the victims of conflict and its uncontrollable impact on everyday life, Tommy Gulliksen’s FACING WAR offers a different perspective: direct insight into the top echelons of NATO during a turbulent time. The film follows the final year of Jens Stoltenberg’s mandate as Secretary General of the organisation, offering a rare unfiltered perspective of power in action. FACING WAR is not an apology for political influence but rather a document about its limits and the challenges world leaders face daily.

We commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide with a film that offers a new view on the tragedy. Chiara Sambuchi’s THE SREBRENICA TAPE—FROM DAD, FOR ALISA tells the story of a young woman who, guided by a VHS tape recorded by her father in besieged Srebrenica, goes on an emotional journey to discover the truth about her family history. Blurry images become the starting point for a reconstruction of life and death, loss and remembrance, a personal pursuit and collective trauma of the July 1995 genocide. Two exceptional films focus on the tragedy of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK, surely the most moving documentary produced this year, is composed of more than two hundred days of video calls between the director, Sepideh Farsi, and Fatima Hassouna, a young photographer from northern Gaza. Through pixellated video calls full of fear, courage, and creativity, a portrait emerges of a girl whose spirit defies daily losses—and, it seems, even her own death. Testimonies of Pain and Hope, another world premiere, is a series of six short vignettes directed by Ayelet Bargur, Executive Director of the Parents Circle–Families Forum organisation. Through intimate testimonies of Palestinians and Israelis who have lost loved ones shows how individual loss can be transformed into a collective call for reconciliation and the tearing down of barriers built by hate.

JUNE TURMOIL, made by Želimir Žilnik in 1969, documents the 1968 student demonstrations in Belgrade, the most vocal criticism of the “red bourgeoisie” at the time. It is an essential artifact of New Yugoslav Film and a classic of 1960s European political cinema.

Christina Bartson’s ALSO RESISTERS takes us back to that same period in the United States to look at the resistance to US militarism in Vietnam and the repression that occurred Stateside. Inspired by a 1968 essay by US activist and

pacifist David E. McReynolds, the film focuses on solidarity and resistance across generations. Another world premiere, LEFT BEHIND by Yannis Karpouzis, is an experimental film that takes the form of a young activist’s video diary in which the intimate and collective, personal and political intertwine during the demonstrations that dominated Greek politics in the early 2020s.

Aleksandar Reljić’s THE LOUDEST SILENCE follows the student demonstrations that have dominated political life in Serbia since November 2024. On New Year’s Eve that year, students in Novi Sad and citizens across Serbia stood in silence to commemorate their compatriots who were killed when a canopy at the Novi Sad Railway Station collapsed. Through portraits of young activists, Reljić captures the moment when silence becomes the loudest form of resistance.

The second-to-last day of the programme is dedicated to considerations of World War II. AMBASSADOR OF REMEMBRANCE, by Magdalena Zelasko, tells the moving story of Stanisław Zalewski, a witness to Nazi concentration camps. Via his personal testimony, the film brings fragments of the past to life and stresses the importance of active, cross-generational remembrance in transcending formal commemoration rituals.

The only feature-length narrative film in the selection this year, Christoph Baumann’s THE DESERTER, proves that the classic film genre of melodrama has the power to create space for emphatic identification. Through the story of an “impossible couple”—a woman and a man turned against each other by history—Baumman researches the possibility of charting new paths for the future.

This year’s edition of Dealing with the Past closes with a true modern classic: Igor Bezinović’s Fiume o morte!, the winning film of the 2025 International Film Festival Rotterdam, which explores how a bizarre episode in the history of Rijeka is (not) remembered through generations. The film closes with scenes from the Rijeka Carnival—sights of collective happiness, cheer, and love. FIUME O MORTE! is also Bezinović’s passionate love letter to his hometown. It is not by chance that we chose such happy scenes as the grand finale of this 2025 edition of the programme—dealing with the past need not manifest exclusively as pain, sorrow, and despair. In the multiverse of human destines, there must be room for humour, courage, love, and the celebration of life.

Also Resisters / Također pobunjenici

Ovaj kratki arhivski film, zasnovan na eseju američkog gej-aktiviste i socijaliste Davida E. McReynoldsa, koristi slike i zvukove zabilježene tokom rata u Vijetnamu kako bi promišljao o međusobnoj povezanosti militarizma u tuđini i u domovini, kao i o ljudima koji su se protiv njega pobunili.

Christina D. Bartson je londonska filmska autorica i arhivistica porijeklom iz Srednjeg zapada Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. Magistrirala je na Njujorškom univerzitetu, a u svom magistarskom istraživačkom radu usredsredila se na kritičku teoriju medija, etnografsku kinematografiju i ratne medije.

E Adapted from a 1968 essay by the gay US socialist David E. McReynolds, the short archival film uses images and sounds of the American war in Vietnam to reflect on the feedback loop between militarism abroad and at home — and the people who resisted it.

Christina D. Bartson is a filmmaker and archivist based in London with roots in the Midwestern United States. She holds an MA from New York University, where her graduate research focused on critical media theory, ethnographic cinema, and war media.

Botschafter des Erinnerns / Ambasador sjećanja

/ Ambassador

of Remembrance

Tada sedamnaestogodišnji Stanislaw Zalewski uhapšen je u Varšavi u semptembru 1943. zbog pripadnosti poljskom pokretu otpora i odveden na prisilni rad u logoru Auschwitz-Birkenau. Iz logora je prebačen u kamp Mauthausen, a potom u kamp Gusen, gdje su zatvorenici bili prisiljavani da u nehumanim uslovima rade za njemačku vojnu industriju. Poput brojnih drugih žrtava nacističkog terora, Stanislaw Zalewski dugo nije govorio o svome bolnom zarobljeničkom iskustvu. U ovom filmu, po prvi put, prenosi svoju dirljivu životnu priču kao iznimno impresivan „ambasador sjećanja“.

Magdalena Żelasko rođena je u Krakovu, a već nekih trideset godina živi u Beču. Certificirana je stručnjakinja za marketing i reklamu, a studirala je slavistiku, novinarstvo i komunikologiju na Univerzitetu u Beču, gdje je i doktorirala 2005. godine. Prije nego što je osnovala udruženje Let’s Cee i vodila istoimeni uspješni festival od 2012. do 2018. godine, radila je kao profesorica na Odsjeku za kulturu i komunikacije Univerziteta u Beču. Od 2022. godine radi na implementaciji inovativnog projekta filmskog obrazovanja „EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal“, koji finansira Evropska Unija, a trenutno se sprovodi u dvanaest zemalja.

E In September 1943, seventeen-year-old Stanisław Zalewski was arrested in Warsaw as a member of a Polish resistance group and taken to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp for labour service. From there, he was sent to Mauthausen and finally to the Gusen camp, where prisoners were forced to work for the German armaments industry under inhumane conditions. For a long time, Zalewski, like many other victims of Nazi terror, remained silent about his painful experiences. Now, for the first time, he tells his stirring life story in a film as a deeply impressive “ambassador of remembrance.”

Magdalena Żelasko, born in Kraków, has lived in Vienna for around 30 years. A certified marketing and advertising expert, she studied journalism, communication science, and Slavic studies at the University of Vienna, where she completed her doctorate in 2005. Before founding the Let’s Cee association and managing the successful festival of the same name from 2012 to 2018, she worked as a lecturer in the Department of Culture and Communication at the University of Vienna. Since 2022, Żelasko has been implementing the innovative EU-funded film education project EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal, which is now offered in twelve countries.

2024 – BOTSCHAFTER DES ERINNERNS / AMBASSADOR OF REMEMBRANCE (dokumentarni film / documentary)

Der Deserteur / Dezerter / The Deserter

Tirol, godina 1945: posljednji dani Drugog svjetskog rata. U izolovanoj planinskoj kolibi teško ranjeni Anton, dezerter SS-trupa, upoznaje Jevrejku Hanu. Uprkos početnom nepovjerenju, između njih se razvija bliskost. No opasnost nikada nije daleko. Za njih dvoje rat je daleko od kraja. DEZERTER je priča o ratu i krivici, ali i o saosjećanju i ljudskosti.

Christoph Baumann radi kao filmski i televizijski reditelj i producent, a 2000. godine osnovao je produkcijsku kuću CHR Filmproduktion. DEZERTER je prvi dugometražni igrani film.

E Tyrol, 1945: the last days of World War II. Anton, a severely wounded deserter from the SS, and Hannah, a Jewish woman, meet in a remote hut in the mountains. They are initially distrustful of each other, then feelings develop between them. But, danger is ever present. For these two, the war is far from over. A story about war and guilt, as well as compassion and humanity.

Christoph Baumann works as a director and producer in the film and television sector. He founded CHR Filmproduktion in 2000. THE DESERTER is his first feature-length film.

SVJEDOČANSTVA O BOLU I NADI snažna je serija šest kratkih ilustrovanih videoradova, svaki dužine između dvije i tri minute, koji prenose duboko lične priče ožalošćenih Izraelaca i Palestinaca, članova „Kruga roditelja“ – foruma porodica koje su izgubile voljene u ratu koji je počeo 7. oktobra 2023. godine. Kroz intimna svjedočanstva u prvom licu, praćena izražajnim ručno crtanim vizualima, svaki video daje glas onima koji su odlučili da svoju bol pretoče u poziv na mir i pomirenje.

Facing War / Suočavanje s ratom

Dok Putinov rat u Ukrajini nastavlja da bjesni, američki predsjednik Joe Biden uvjerava Jensa Stoltenberga da još jednu godinu ostane na funkciji Generalnog sekretara NATO-a. Norvežaninov mandat već je nekoliko puta produžavan i on je obećao svojoj supruzi da će se ovaj put vratiti kući. Ali situacija u Ukrajini je osjetljiva. NATO je suočen sa svojim najvećim izazovom od Drugog svjetskog rata: Stoltenberg pristaje da ostane na funkciji još godinu dana. Tokom posjete Kijevu Stoltenberg obećava ukrajinskom predsjedniku Volodimiru Zelenskom da će NATO savez biti uz Ukrajinu „koliko god bude potrebno“. U ključnom trenutku, podrška Ukrajini zemalja članica alijanse opada, dovodeći u pitanje mogućnost mira u Ukrajini i Evropi. Da li će Stoltenberg moći održati obećanje koje je dao predsjedniku Zelenskom?

Tommy Gulliksen studirao je umjetnost i žurnalistiku na Univerzitetskom koledžu u Oslu. Najpoznatiji je po svojim nagrađivanim dokumentarnim filmovima OSTRVO TERORA, DAN OSLOBOĐENJA, RAT UMJETNOSTI te seriji DA VI STYRTE LANDET. SUOČAVANJE S RATOM, njegov najnoviji film, premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma CPH.DOX.

E As Putin’s war in Ukraine rages on, US president Biden persuades Jens Stoltenberg to remain for one more year as Secretary General of NATO. The Norwegian’s post has already been extended several times, and he has promised his wife he will come home this time. But the situation in Ukraine is precarious. NATO is facing its biggest challenge since WW2: Stoltenberg commits to one final year. On a trip to Kyiv, he promises Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the alliance will stand by Ukraine “for as long as it takes.” At this crucial time, support from the allied countries falters, leaving the prospect of peace in Ukraine and stability in Europe in question. Will Stoltenberg be able to keep his word to Zelenskyy?

Tommy Gulliksen studied arts and journalism at Oslo University College. He is best known for his award-winning documentary TERROR ISLAND, LIBERATION DAY, WAR OF ART, and the series DA VI STYRTE LANDET. FACING WAR, his most recent work, had its premiere at CPH.DOX.

Fiume o Morte!

Građani grada Rijeke, kojeg Talijani zovu Fiume, prepričavaju, rekonstruiraju i reinterpretiraju bizarnu priču o šesnaestomjesečnoj okupaciji njihovog grada 1919. godine koju je proveo talijanski pjesnik, dendi i propovjednik rata Gabriele D’Annunzio.

Igor Bezinović diplomirao je filmsku i televizijsku režiju na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu te filozofiju, sociologiju i komparativnu književnost na Filozofskom fakultetu u Zagrebu. Režirao je filmove BLOKADA i VERUDA, za koje je nagrađen Oktavijanom za najbolji hrvatski dokumentarac u 2012. i u 2015. godini, KRATKI IZLET, nagađen Velikom zlatnom arenom za najbolji hrvatski dugometražni igrani film u 2017. godini te FIUME O MORTE!, s kojim je osvojio Veliku nagradu glavnog takmičarskog programa “Tigar” i FIPRESCI Međunarodnog udruženja filmskih kritičara na 54. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Rotterdamu.

E Citizens of Rijeka, Croatia, which Italians call Fiume, retell, reconstruct and reinterpret the bizarre story about the sixteen-month occupation of their city in 1919 by the Italian poet, dandy, and preacher of war Gabriele D’Annunzio.

Igor Bezinović graduated from studies in film directing at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, and in philosophy, sociology, and comparative literature at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. His films include THE BLOCKADE, VERUDA, which won the Oktavijan prize for Best Croatian Documentary, A BRIEF EXCURSION, which won the Big Golden Arena for Best Croatian Feature, and FIUME O MORTE!, which had its premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, where it won the Tiger Award and the FIPRESCI Prize.

Left Behind / Ostavljeni

Nefeli okreće objektiv kamere prema sebi kako bi se pozdravila s izgubljenom ljubavlju. Međutim, ono što počinje kao lični oproštaj, prerasta u njenu sve jaču povezanost s kolektivnim otporom.

Yannis Karpouzis je filmski stvaralac i vizuelni umjetnik iz Atine. Njegova umjetnička djela predstavljena su u vodećim grčkim i međunarodnim institucijama kulture uključujući Artgenève, Udruženje islandskih umjetnika, Fondaciju Deste, Rencontres d’Arles i PHotoEspana. S dugometražnim dokumentarnim filmom NIKOS KAROUZOS: POEME NA SNIMAĆOJ TRACI osvojio je Nagradu za najboljeg novog filmskog autora na 22. izdanju Festivala dokumentarnog filma u Solunu, kao i nekolicinu drugih nagrada.

E Nefeli turns the camera on herself to say goodbye to a lost love. What begins as a personal farewell becomes a growing connection to collective resistance.

Lipanjska gibanja / June Turmoil

Film bilježi studentske demonstracije u Beogradu juna 1968. godine. Snimljen je većim dijelom u dvorištu Kapetan Mišinog zdanja (zgrada Filozofskog fakulteta), gdje su danonoćno održavani studentski zborovi na kojima su, solidarišući se sa studentima, učestvovali poznati umjetnici.

Želimir Žilnik je umjetnik i filmski stvaralac rođen 1942. godine u Novom Sadu. Tokom svoje bogate karijere, Žilnik je snimio preko pedeset dugometražnih i kratkometražnih filmova koji su prikazani na brojnim međunarodnim filmskim festivalima uključujući festivale u Berlinu, Torontu, Rotterdamu, Moskvi i Oberhausenu. Osvojio je Zlatnog medvjeda na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu za film RANI RADOVI i nagradu Teddy istoimenog festivala za film DUPE OD MRAMORA 1995. godine. RESTITUCIJA, ILI, SAN I JAVA STARE GARDE, njegov najnoviji film, premijerno je prikazan u programu „Forum“ Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu.

E JUNE TURMOIL documents student demonstrations that took place in Belgrade in June 1968. For the most part, the footage was shot in the courtyard of Kapetan Mišino Zdanje (the Faculty of Philosophy building), where students gathered and famous artists participated to show solidarity with the students.

Želimir Žilnik was born in 1942 in Novi Sad. In his highly prolific career as an artist and filmmaker, Žilnik has made more than fifty short and feature-lengthfilms, which have been exhibited internationally at film festivals including the Berlin, Moscow, and Toronto International Film Festivals, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.

North South Man Woman / Sjever Jug muškarac žena

Stara korejska poslovica kaže da su najljepše žene sa Sjevera, a najzgodniji muškarci s Juga. Šta se desi kada ih pokušate spojiti? Filmski autori Morten Traavik i Sun Kim pratili su Yujin Han, bistru i harizmatičnu poduzetnicu rođenu u Sjevernoj Koreji i osnivačicu agencije za spajanje parova LoveStory, prilikom prelaska korejske linije razgraničenja s radikalnom misijom da spoji jednu ženu, izbjeglicu iz Sjeverne Koreje, s jednim muškarcem iz Južne Koreje.

Morten Traavik je norveški reditelj, umjetnik i izvršni producent koji u svome radu pokriva širok spektar umjetničkih žanrova i prelazi brojne međunarodne granice. Poznat je po seriji kontroverznih projekata nastalih u saradnji s umjetnicima i kulturnim vlastima Sjeverne Koreje, kao i po tome što je ovlašteni oficir za kulturne veze te zemlje. Sun Kim je kulturna medijatorica, fotografkinja i, po prvi put, autorica dokumentarnog filma. Od 2012, kroz različite oblike razmjene sa sjevernokorejskim organizacijama, razvila je rijetku sposobnost da premosti jaz između Zapadne kulture i obiju Koreja, te sarađuje sa korejskim pregovaračima u nuklearnim pregovorima visokog rizika, vladama i vladinim službenicima, organizacijama civilnog drušva, akademskim istraživačima, umjetnicima i filmskim autorima kako bi unaprijedila dijalog i međusobno razumijevanje.

E An old Korean proverb says the most beautiful women are in the North, and the most handsome men are in the South. What happens when you try to bring them together? Filmmakers Morten Traavik and Sun Kim journey across the Korean divide to follow Yujin Han, a sharp, charismatic entrepreneur who was born in North Korea and is the founder of LoveStorya, a matchmaking agency with a radical mission: pairing North Korean refugee women with South Korean men.

Morten Traavik is a Norwegian director, artist, and executive producer who works across a wide spectrum of artistic genres and many international borders. He is renowned for a series of controversial collaborations with artists and cultural authorities in North Korea, as well as being an authorised cultural affairs liaison for that country.

Sun Kim is a cultural mediator, photographer, and first-time documentary filmmaker. Since 2012, through diverse exchanges with North Korean organizations, she honed the rare ability to bridge the divide between western cultures and both Koreas; and works with high-stakes Korean nuclear crisis negotiators, government and ministry officials, civil society groups, academic researchers, artists, and filmmakers—to foster dialogue and mutual understanding.

Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk / Stavi svoju dušu na dlan i hodaj

Film STAVI SVOJU DUŠU NA DLAN I HODAJ odgovor je njegove autorice na tekući masakr Palestinaca. Kada je rediteljica Sepideh Farsi upoznala Fatimu Hassonu, dogodilo se čudo. Kroz Fatimine oči rediteljica je svjedočila događajima u Gazi, gdje je Fatima pružala otpor dokumentujući rat, a Farsi je postala veza između svijeta i Fatime koja je, po svojim riječima, bila zarobljena u “zatvoru u Gazi”. Tu vezu održavale su gotovo godinu dana. Snimljeni zvuci i pikseli, koje su u tom periodu razmijenile, pretočeni su u ovaj film. Značenje filma zauvijek je promijenjeno nakon što je Fatima ubijena u zračnom napadu na njenu kuću 16. aprila 2025. godine.

Sepideh Farsi iskusila je revoluciju kao trinaestogodišnjakinja, kada je imala šesnaest godina zatvorena je kao disidentica, a s osamnaest je napustila svoj rodni Iran i preselila se u Pariz gdje i danas živi. U Parizu je studirala matematiku, pravila fotografije i snimala filmove među kojima se ističu TEHRAN BEDOUNE MOJAVEZ, koji je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu, RED ROSE, koji je premijeru imao na Međunarodnom filmskom festival u Torontu i SIRENA, koji je osvojio brojne nagrade nakon što je otvorio program „Panorama“ Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. Trenutno priprema „iranski vestern“ film. Njen najnoviji film STAVI SVOJU DUŠU NA DLAN I HODAJ premijerno je prikazan u program ACID Filmskog festivala u Cannesu.

E PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK is a filmmaker’s response to the ongoing massacre of Palestinians. A miracle happened when director Sepideh Farsi met Fatima Hassona. Hassona became the filmmaker’s eyes in Gaza, where she resisted while documenting the war, as Farsi became a link between Hassona and the world at large from what she calls her “Gaza prison.” The two maintained this lifeline for almost a year. The bits of sound and pixel they exchanged became this film. The death of Fatima, on 16 April 2025, as a result of an Israeli raid on her home, changes its meaning forever.

Sepideh Farsi experienced revolution at thirteen, was imprisoned at sixteen as a dissident, and left her native Iran at eighteen. Based in Paris since then, she has studied mathematics, taken photos, and made films, among them TEHRAN WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION, which had its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival; RED ROSE, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival; and THE SIREN, which opened the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival and went on to win numerous awards. She is currently working on an “Iranian Western” film project. Fatem’s most recent film, PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK, premiered in the ACID program at the Festival de Cannes.

The Final Battle

Film dokumentuje četiri zadate izvedbe učesnika u audiciji koji su direktni i indirektni učesnici rata: ratni veterani, civilne žrtve rata, osobe s tjelesnim oštećenjima ili osobe traumatizovane ratom. Projekt, adekvatno naslovljen THE FINAL BATTLE, odvija se – kako u realnosti, tako i u svojoj filmskoj manifestaciji – u formi filmskog trejlera-audicije. Audicija, koja obiluje holivudskim klišeima, najavljuje produkciju, navodno visokoprofitabilnog, filmskog hita o finalnim bitkama. Trejler predstavlja historijske okršaje, poput bitaka kod Kane i Waterlooa, do onih recentnijih, poput Bitke za Staljingrad, teonih iz manjih mjesta u Bosni i Hercegovini, poput Bihaća, Trebinja, Bijeljina i Doboja, gdje su i organizovane audicije za taj izmišljeni film.

E Four delegated performances and castings feature participants who are directly or indirectly actors of war: veterans, civilian victims, disabled individuals, or those traumatised by conflict. The project, aptly titled THE FINAL BATTLE, unfolds both in actuality and in its eventual cinematic manifestation through a casting call for a trailer. Reminiscent of clichéd Hollywood tropes, the call heralds the production of what is touted to be a high-grossing blockbuster centred around THE FINAL BATTLE. The trailer enumerates historical clashes like the Battles of Cannae and Waterloo and more recent conflicts such as the Battle of Stalingrad alongside smaller sites of violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bihać, Trebinje, Bijeljina, and Doboj, where casting for this imagined film takes place.

The Srebrenica Tape – From Dad, for Alisa / Srebrenička traka - od tate za Alisu

U julu 1995. vojska Republike Srpske osvojila je Srebrenicu i masakrirala preko 8000 bošnjačkih muškaraca. Vojnici su uništili svaki trag srebreničkih žitelja: njihove dnevnike, fotografije i pisma. Jedna VHS-traka preživjela je to uništenje. Jedinstven dokument, četverosatni film koji emotivno opisuje detalje svakodnevnog života u enklavi, snimljen za jednu gledateljicu, tada devetogodišnju Alisu, kćerku strastvenog amaterskog filmskog stvaraoca i stanovnika Srebrenice Sejfe. Alisa se vraća u Srebrenicu da bi pratila tragove svog oca.

Chiara Sambuchi studirala je klasičnu gitaru i filozofiju u Bolonji. Rođena je u Italiji, a nakon što je dobila istraživačku stipendiju, preselila se u Njemačku i od tada živi na relaciji između Rima i Berlina. Njen najnoviji film SREBRENIČKA TRAKA – OD TATE ZA ALISU uvršten je u programe Minhenskog međunarodnog dokumentarnog filmskog festivala, festivala Movies that Matter u Holandiji i festivala Diagonale u Austriji.

E In July 1995, the Army of the Republika Srpska captured Srebrenica and massacred more then 8,000 Muslim men. The Bosnian Serb Army troops destroyed every trace of Srebrenica’s inhabitants: their diaries, photos, and letters. One VHS tape survived destruction. This unique document is a fourhour film that describes in emotional detail everyday life in the enclave shot for a single viewer: Alisa, the then nine-year-old daughter of Sejfo, an avid amateur filmmaker and resident of Srebrenica. Alisa returns to Srebrenica to trace the footsteps of her father.

Chiara Sambuchi studied classical guitar and philosophy in Bologna. Born in Italy, she moved to Germany on a research scholarship and has been commuting between Rome and Berlin ever since. Her most recent film, THE SREBRENICA TAPE—FROM DAD, FOR ALISA, was invited to the Munich International Documentary Film Festival, Movies that Matter in the Netherlands, and Diagonale in Austria.

Dan ljudskih prava / Human Rights Day

Uvod / Introduction

Iz godine u godinu Sarajevo Film Festival dosljedno osvjetljava problematiku ljudskih prava u optici filmske umjetnosti. U tom kontekstu izraelskopalestinski sukob ostaje jedno od najtragičnijih i najdugotrajnijih žarišta svjetske geopolitike – neprekidna spirala nasilja, okupacije i sistemske nepravde koja kontinuirano ugrožava osnovna ljudska prava miliona ljudi. U 2025. godini eskalacija nasilja na Zapadnoj obali dosegnula je intenzitet pred kojim čak i pojmovi poput genocida djeluju nemoćno – nedovoljni da obuhvate razmjere torture, uništavanja i ljudske patnje. Gradacija užasa i brutalnosti nastavlja se i dok finaliziramo pripreme za 31. izdanje Festivala.

Istovremeno, ovaj sukob ostaje i snažan izvor inspiracije i izazova za filmske autorice i autore koji koriste kameru ne samo kao sredstvo bilježenja stvarnosti, već i kao alat političkog i etičkog otpora protiv režima mržnje, netrpeljivosti i sistematskog brisanja.

To vrijedi i za ostvarenje koji čini okosnicu sedamnaestog Dana ljudskih prava Sarajevo Film Festivala. Riječ je o dokumentarnom filmu KOEGZISTENCIJA, MALO SUTRA! / COEXISTENCE, MY ASS! rediteljice Amber Fares, koje je izazvalo snažne reakcije na festivalu Sundance početkom godine, a sada stiže i pred sarajevsku publiku. Protagonistkinja filma, umjetnica Noam Shuster Eliassi, koristi humor kao sredstvo razotkrivanja političkih ideologija podjele i mržnje, ispitujući potencijal komedije kao žanra borbe za jednakost i ljudska prava.

KOEGZISTENCIJA, MALO SUTRA! potvrđuje da se upravo dokumentarni film u posljednjim godinama afirmisao kao ključni kanal za prenošenje svjedočanstava o stradanju, otporu, dostojanstvu i nadi u Palestini. U vremenu kada se javni govor o Palestini sve češće suočava sa cenzurom i stigmatizacijom, dokumentarni film — kao i umjetnost uopće — ostaje prostor slobode i moralne odgovornosti.

Sarajevo Film Festival nastavlja obilježavanje Dana ljudskih prava u saradnji s UNESCO-om, kroz projekt Dijalog za budućnost 3, predstavljajući novo izdanje programa Gledaj. Razmisli. Djeluj. – Mladi za ljudska prava. Program je ove godine posvećen mladima iz cijele Bosne i Hercegovine, s posebnim fokusom na one koji dolaze iz manjih i manje vidljivih sredina. Kroz filmove, razgovore, timski rad i posjete institucijama, učesnici će istraživati šta ljudska prava znače u svakodnevnom životu, učiti kako ih prepoznati i braniti te graditi mrežu mladih koji vjeruju u solidarnost i snagu zajedničkog djelovanja.

E Every year, the Sarajevo Film Festival maintains its commitment to the issue of human rights. In that context, the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been one of the most tragic global geopolitical flashpoints—a seemingly never-ending spiral of violence, occupation, and systematic injustice that has resulted in the continuous denial of basic human rights to millions of people. In 2025, the escalation of violence in Gaza and the West Bank has reached such proportions that even terms such as “genocide” fail to capture the extent of torture, devastation, and human suffering there. The horrors continue to increase as we enter the final stages of preparing for this 31st edition of the festival.

This brutal conflict remains a source of inspiration and a challenge for filmmakers who use their cameras to capture the reality on the ground, and as a tool of political and ethical resistance to hate-mongering regimes, to intolerance, and to the systemic erasure of a people, their culture, and their history.

All of this applies to the film that forms the backbone of this 17th Human Rights Day programme. We are proud to bring Amber Fares’s documentary COEXISTENCE, MY ASS! to the audience at the Sarajevo Film Festival. The film has provoked powerful reactions worldwide since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival at the start of this year. The film’s focus, the artist Noam Shuster Eliassi, uses humour to uncover divisive and hateful ideologies while exploring the potential of comedy as a compelling nexus for the fight for equality and human rights.

COEXISTENCE, MY ASS! confirms that the documentary format has established itself in recent years as a key channel for sharing of testimonies about suffering, resistance, dignity, and hope in Palestine. At a time when public speech about Palestine is increasingly censured and stigmatised, documentary filmmaking and art in general remain a space of freedom and moral responsibility.

The Sarajevo Film Festival also continues to mark its Human Rights Day, organised in cooperation with UNESCO, with the Dialogue for Future 3 project, and by introducing the new Watch. Think. Act—Youth for Human Rights programme. In this first year, Watch. Think. Act is dedicated to young people from around Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a special focus on smaller and less visible communities. By delving into films and through dialogue, teamwork, and visits to institutions, participants will explore the meaning of human rights in everyday life, learn how to recognise and defend them, and build a network of young people who believe in solidarity and the power of joint action.

Coexistence, My Ass! / Koegzistencija, malo sutra!

Noam Shuster Eliassi odrasla je kao doslovni reklamni primjerak izraelsko-palestinskog mirovnog procesa prije vlastitog snažnog zaokreta ka stand-up komediji i političkoj satiri. Međutim, dok njena regija sve dublje tone u razorno nasilje, ona se mora suočiti s historijskim trenutkom tako što će svoju publiku suočiti s teškim istinama u kojima nema ničeg smiješnog.

Amber Fares nagrađivana je kanadska filmska autorica libanskog porijekla, a trenutno živi u New Yorku. Režirala je kratki dokumentarni film WE ARE AYENDA, koji je 2024. godine osvojio Veliku nagradu za zabavni sadržaj na Festivalu kreativnosti Cannes Lions. Njen najnoviji dokumentarni film KOEGZISTENCIJA, MALO SUTRA! premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu Sundance, gdje je osvojio Specijalnu nagradu žirija za slobodu govora u takmičarskom programu međunarodnog dokumentarnog filma.

E Noam Shuster Eliassi grew up as the literal poster child for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process before making a hard pivot to stand-up comedy and political satire. But, as the region sinks deeper into devastating violence, she must meet the moment by challenging her audiences with hard truths that are no laughing matter.

Amber Fares is an award-winning Canadian filmmaker of Lebanese origin, currently based in New York City. She directed the short documentary film WE ARE AYENDA, which won the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity Grand Prix for Entertainment in 2024. Her most recent documentary, COEXISTENCE, MY ASS!, had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Freedom of Expression.

Uvod / Introduction

Mreža festivala Jadranske regije ušla je u petu godinu postojanja s već prepoznatljivim programima i rastućim utjecajem u regiji kada je u pitanju njen program.

S ponosom možemo reći da je film TOK Gintisa Zilbaoidisa, koji je prošle godine osvojio Nagradu publike Jadranske mreže i zahvaljujući kojoj je distribuiran u regionalnim kinima, pogledalo dvadeset hiljada gledaoca.

Mreža je u međuvremenu i narasla pa se tako Sarajevo Film Festivalu, Zagreb Film Festivalu, Festivalu autorskog filma, Ljubljana Film Festivalu i Filmskom Festivalu Herceg Novi, od jeseni prošle godine pridružio i novi partner – Međunarodni filmski festival Manaki Brothers iz Sjeverne Makedonije. S radošću smo proširili Mrežu na još jednu regionalnu državu, a intenzivno radimo i na širenju našeg filmskog programa i u drugim pravcima te aktivno sarađujemo s drugim regionalnim i evropskim festivalima.

Jedno takvo partnerstvo smo uspostavili i na programu Ecoscope koji ove godine radimo u partnerstvu s Green Visions Film Festivalom iz Potsdama. Publika šest regionalnih festivala u sklopu ovog programa gledat će film

MIYAZAKI: DUH PRIRODE francuskog reditelja Lea Faviera. Iako film o japanskom geniju animacije ne zvuči kao najočigledniji izbor za program koji se bavi ekološkim temama i pitanjem ekološke održivosti, iznenađujuće je upravo to što se zapravo film bavi radom ovog autora iz perspektive njegovog odnosa prema prirodi i filozofske dimenzije prirode u njegovima animacijama.

Još jedan prepoznatljivi program Mreže – Jugoslavenski klasici – ove godine publici na različitim festivalima Mreže, donijet će i različite naslove. Sarajevo Film Festival odlučio je prikazati film UZAVRELI GRAD reditelja Veljka Bulajića iz 1961. godine. Ovaj crno-bijeli film kultnog jugoslavenskog reditelja donosi priču o nastanku grada Zenice i o počecima jugoslavenske industrijalizacije, a u njemu su uloge ostvarile neke od najvećih jugoslavenskih glumačkih zvijezda, poput Želimira Bate Živojinovića, Olivere Marković i Milene Dravić. Danas, kad je zenička željezara na izdisaju, a grad još uvijek poznat kao grad s najvećim stadionom, pozorištem i zatvorom u državi, ali s neizvjesnom ekonomskom perspektivom onda kada željezara i definitivno stavi ključ u bravu, važno je više nego ikada pogledati Bulajićev film i prisjetiti se principa na kojima je izgrađen.

Centralni program Mreže i program kojem posebno preporučujemo je program za Nagradu publike Jadranske regije.  Filmovi u programu takmiče se za nagradu od 5000 eura za pomoć u distribuciji pobjedničkog filma na prostoru jadranske regije. Nagrada se dodjeljuje zbirom glasova publike svih šest festivala. I ove godine donosimo uspješne festivalske naslove iz evropskih zemalja srednjeg produkcijskog kapaciteta.

MALDOROR, novi film Fabricea Du Welza iz 2024. godine, inspirisan je stvarnim pravosudnim skandalom u vezi s belgijskim serijskim ubicom i zlostavljačem djece Marcom Dutrouxom. U središtu ove mračne kriminalističke drame nalazi se mladi policajac (Anthony Bajon) koji postaje opsjednut slučajem notornog zlostavljača. Film istražuje mračna mjesta institucionalnog sistema i granice lične opsesije, a svoju svjetsku premijeru imao je na 81. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji.

Film PERLA, drugi igrani film rediteljice Alexandre Makarové, donosi snažan portret lika i priču o identitetu i otporu smješten u kontekst Hladnog rata. Kroz klasično strukturiranu naraciju, film otkriva emocionalnu cijenu života pod patrijarhalnim sistemima i naslijeđenim traumama totalitarne vlasti. U njegovom središtu je odnos majke i kćerke, oblikovan ljubavlju, historijom i neizgovorenim strahovima. Film je premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu.

ZA ADAMOVO DOBRO, novi film belgijske rediteljice Laure Wandel, dirljiva je socijalna drama smještena na prenatrpani dječiji bolnički odjel, gdje jedna medicinska sestra pokušava pomoći majci malog Adama da provede vrijeme sa svojim sinom, uprkos sudskim ograničenjima. Lucy pokušava učiniti sve što je u njenoj moći, balansirajući između pravila i empatije. Film je prikazan u selekciji „Sedmica kritike“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu.

U filmu CHRISTY, reditelja Brendana Cantyja, život sedamnaestogodišnjaka nalazi se na raskrsnici. Nakon što je izbačen iz hraniteljske porodice, seli kod svog otuđenog starijeg brata Shanea, koji živi u radničkoj četvrti Corka u Irskoj. Film je nježno ispričana priča o odrastanju, porodičnim vezama i pomirenju s prošlošću, a otvorio je sekciju „Generacija 14+“ na ovogodišnjem Berlinaleu.

Litvanski film RENOVACIJA, debitantsko dugometražno ostvarenje redateljice i montažerke Gabrielė Urbonaitė, istražuje društvene pritiske s kojima se suočavaju mlade žene. Film se bavi kompleksnim odnosima, svakodnevnim stresom i unutrašnjim preispitivanjima jedne generacije, kroz suptilan, ali emotivan narativ. U glavnim ulogama su Žygimante Elena Jakštaitė, Šarūnas Zenkevičius i ukrajinski glumac Roman Lutskyi, a snimatelj filma je renomirani Vytautas Katkus. Film je premijerno prikazan u takmičarskom programu „Proxima“ na 59. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Karlovim Varima.

E The Network of the Festivals in the Adriatic Region (NFAR) has entered its fifth year with its well-established programmes and their growing influence in the region.

We are proud that Gintis Zilbaoidis’s FLOW, which won the Adriatic Audience Award last year, thereby securing distribution in regional cinemas, has been seen by more than 20,000 viewers.

In the meantime, the network expanded as the Sarajevo Film Festival, the Zagreb Film Festival, the Belgrade Auteur Film Festival, the Ljubljana International Film Festival, and the Herceg-Novi Film Festival were joined last fall by the International Cinematographers Film Festival Manaki Brothers from North Macedonia. We happily expanded the NFAR family by including a festival from another regional country and are working intensely to expand our film programmes in other directions and to cooperate with other regional and European film festivals.

One such partnership was established via the Ecoscope programme, which was developed this year in partnership with Potsdam’s Green Visions Film Festival. Ecoscope will give the audiences of the six regional festivals a chance to see French director Leo Favier’s MIYAZAKI, SPIRIT OF NATURE. While a film about the Japanese animation genius Hiyako Miyazaki does not sound like an obvious choice for a programme dedicated to nature and environmental sustainability issues, it is perhaps a surprise that it focuses on the director’s relationship to nature and the philosophical aspects of nature in his animated works.

The Yugoslav Classic programme will present a variety of films to the audiences of its member festivals. This year, the Sarajevo Film Festival has chosen to screen BOOM TOWN, the 1961 film by Veljko Bulajić. This black-and-white film by the cult director, which features a cast that includes some of the greatest stars of Yugoslav cinema such as Bata Živojinović, Olivera Marković and Milena Dravić, tells the story of the birth of the city of Zenica and the early days of Yugoslavia’s industrialisation. Currently, the city with the biggest football stadium, theatre, and prison in Bosnia and Herzegovina faces an uncertain economic future with the Zenica Steel Mill is on its last legs. Now, more than ever, it is important to watch Bulajić’s film and remember the principles upon which the city was built.

Central to the NFAR programme—and highly recommended to audiences—is the slate of Adriatic Audience Award films. These works compete for an award for regional cinema distribution in the amount of €5,000 cash. The award is presented to the film that obtains the greatest total number of votes cast by audiences of all six member festivals.

Again this year, the programme presents a selection of films from European countries with moderate production capacities that had a good run on the festival circuit.

Fabrice Du Welz’s 2024 film MALDOROR was inspired by a real-life judicial scandal involving the Belgian serial killer and child molester Marc Dutroux. At the heart of this dark crime drama is a young police officer, portrayed by Anthony Bajon, who becomes obsessed with the case of the notorious abuser. The film, which explores the dark corners of the institutional system and the limits of personal obsession, had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

PERLA, Alexandra Makarová’s second feature, is a powerful portrait of a character and a story about identity and resilience set against the Cold War. Through its traditional narrative structure, the film unveils the emotional cost of life under patriarchal systems and inherent trauma of totalitarian governments. At its core is a mother-daughter relationship shaped by love, history, and unspoken fears. The film had its premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

ADAM’S SAKE , the most recent film by Belgian director Laura Wandel, is a poignant social drama set in an overcrowded hospital ward where a nurse tries to help a mother spend time with her little boy despite courtimposed limitations. The nurse does everything in her power to help the mother, striking a balance between empathy and respect for the rules. The film was presented in La Semaine de la Critique at the Festival de Cannes.

In Brendan Canty’s CHRISTY, a seventeen-year-old Irish boy is at a crossroads. After he is thrown out of his foster home, the boy moves in with his estranged older brother who lives in a working-class neighbourhood in Cork. A gentle coming-of-age story, and a look at family relations and reconciling with one’s past, CHRISTY opened the Generation14+ section of the Berlin International Film Festival this year.

RENOVATION, the feature-length debut by Latvian director and editor Gabriela Urbonaitė, explores the social pressures faced by young women. Through its subtle, emotional narrative, the film deals with complex relationships, daily stress, and the internal struggles of a generation. Appearing in lead roles are Žygimante Elena Jakštaitė, Šarūnas Zenkevičius, and Ukrainian actor Roman Lutskyi, while the director of photography is the renowned Vytautas Katkus. The film had its premiere in the Proxima competition section of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

Sedamnaestogodišnji Christy nalazi se na životnoj prekretnici. Upravo je izbačen iz udobnog hraniteljskog doma u predgrađu i uselio se kod svog otuđenog starijeg brata Shanea. Što se Shanea tiče, njihov zajednički život je samo privremeno rješenje, ali Christy se u radničkoj četvrti na sjeveru Corka počinje osjećati kao kod kuće. Dok stječe prijatelje i zbližava se s članovima zajednice, istovremeno se, uprkos Shaneovim nastojanjima da to spriječi, povezuje s vlastitom prošlošću kroz interakciju sa članovima svoje šire porodice za koje se čini da loše utječu na njega. Shane želi za Christyja bolji život, čak i ako to znači da ga mora odgurnuti od sebe.

Brendan Canty je irski reditelj koji je stekao međunarodno priznanje s videospotom za pjesmu „Take Me to Church“ irskog muzičara Hoziera. Videospot je zabilježio više od milijardu pregleda i nominovan je za dvije MTV VMA nagrade. Također je autor dva nagrađivana kratka filma FOR YOU i CHRISTY. Dugometražni film CHRISTY, izrastao iz istoimenog kratkog filma, premijerno je prikazan na 75. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu, gdje je otvorio program “Generacija 14plus”.

E Seventeen-year-old Christy is at a crossroads. He’s just been thrown out of his pleasant suburban foster home and has moved in with his estranged older brother Shane. As far as Shane is concerned, this is a temporary arrangement, but Christy begins to feel at home on the working-class north side of Cork. As he makes friends and begins to let the community in, he also reconnects with his past through his extended family, whose seemingly corrupting influence Shane tries to steer his brother away from. Shane wants something better for Christy—even if it means he has to push him away.

Brendan Canty is an Irish director who gained international recognition with the video for Hozier’s “Take Me to Church,” which has surpassed a billion views and was nominated for two MTV Video Music Awards. His award-winning short films include FOR YOU and CHRISTY, which evolved into his debut feature-length film. CHRISTY had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, opening the Generation 14plus programme.

Maldoror

Nakon nestanka dviju djevojaka, impulsivni mladi policajac Paul Chartier dodijeljen je Maldororu: tajnoj policijskoj jedinici koja je osnovana za praćenje opasnih seksualnih prestupnika. Kada operacija propadne, Paul, iziritiran ograničenjima pravnog sistema, samostalno kreće u lov na prestupnike.

Fabrice du Welz studirao je dramske umjetnosti na Konzervatoriju u Liègeu, a školovanje je završio na INSAS-u, filmskoj školi u Briselu. Njegov prvi dugometražni film TEŠKO ISKUŠENJE, snimljen 2004. i predstavljen u programu „Sedmica kritike“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu, pomogao mu je da se etablira kao jedan od vodećih mladih predstavnika belgijske kinematografije. Nakon toga snima film VINYAN, koji je uvršten u zvanični program festivala u Veneciji 2008, a godine 2014. završava film ALELUJA, koji je predstavljen u programu „15 dana autora“ na festivalu u Cannesu. Film PORUKA OD KRALJA, koji je režirao 2015, premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Torontu, a film OBOŽAVANJE iz 2018. godine imao je svjetsku premijeru na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu. Njegov recentno snimljeni film MALDOROR premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji 2024. godine.

E When two girls go missing, Paul Chartier, an impulsive young police recruit, is assigned to Maldoror: a secret unit that has been set up to monitor a dangerous sex offender. When the operation fails, fed up with the limits of the legal system, Paul embarks on a solitary mission to bring down the culprits.

Fabrice du Welz studied dramatic arts at the Liège Conservatory and completed training at INSAS, the Brussels film school. In 2004, CALVAIRE, his first feature film, established him as one of the leading figures in new Belgian cinema. The film was presented at La Semaine de la Critique at the Festival de Cannes. He then directed VINYAN, which was an Official Selection at the Venice Film Festival in 2008. In 2014, he completed ALLÉLUIA, which was presented in the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes. In 2015, MESSAGE FROM THE KING had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. In 2018, he directed ADORATION, which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival. MALDOROR, his most recent film, had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival in 2024.

Perla

U Beču 1981. godine umjetnica u egzilu i samohrana majka Perla bori se da osigura egzistenciju za svoju kćerku Juliju koja je talentovana mlada pijanistica. Kada Julijin otac saopšti da je teško bolestan, Perla se odlučuje na opasan povratak u komunističku Čehoslovačku, gdje shvata da im se on samo opet želi uvući u život. Rastrzana između prošlosti i sadašnjosti, Perla počinje praviti nepromišljenje izbore koji će ugroziti njenu budućnost s kćerkom.

Alexandra Makarová rođena je 1985. godine u Košicama u Slovačkoj. Studirala je scenarij i režiju na Koledžu za film u Beču. Njen drugi dugometražni igrani film PERLA premijerno je prikazan 2025. godine u takmičarskoj konkurenciji Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Rotterdamu.

Renovacija / Renovation

Trenutno doba, Vilnus: dvadesetdevetogodišnja perfekcionistica Ilona pod pritiskom je da uredi privatni život i bude uspješna prije nego navrši trideset godina. Na prelomnoj tačci života počinje propitivati kako zaista želi živjeti. S momkom Matasom seli se u naizgled savršen stan. Međutim, kada počne renovacija zgrade u koju su se uselili, na površinu isplivaju ne samo pukotine u zidovima već i Ilonine unutrašnje sumnje.

Gabrielė Urbonaitė diplomirala je umjetnost na Koledžu Emerson, a zvanje magistrice scenarija i režije stekla je na Univerzitetu Columbia. Režirala je nekoliko kratkih filmova među kojima se ističe film PLAUKIKE s kojim je osvojila nagradu Srebrena čaplja Litvanske filmske akademije. Film RENOVACIJA premijerno je prikazan 2025. godine u takmičarskom programu „Proxima“ na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu Karlovy Vary.

E Present-day Vilnius. Ilona, a 29-year-old perfectionist, feels the pressure to be settled and successful by the time she turns thirty. At this turning point in her life, she begins to question how she truly wants to live. She moves into a seemingly perfect apartment with her boyfriend Matas, with whom things are getting serious. But as renovation of the building begins, it’s not just cracks in the walls that are revealed—Ilona’s inner doubts also start to surface.

Gabrielė Urbonaitė holds a BFA in film from Emerson College and an MFA in screenwriting and directing from Columbia University. She has directed several short films, including THE SWIMMER, which won the Silver Crane, the National Lithuanian Film Award. RENOVATION had its premiere in the Proxima Competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2025.

Miyazaki, l’esprit de la nature / Miyazaki: duh prirode / Miyazaki: Spirit of Nature

MIYAZAKI: DUH PRIRODE prvi je dokumentarni film koji se fokusira na duboku povezanost s prirodom dobitnika oskarovca Hajaoa Mijazakija i ekološke teme izražene u njegovim filmovima. Kroz kultne likove poput Totora i Princeze Mononoke, Miyazakijevi često autobiografski filmovi odražavaju njegovu duboku zabrinutost za svijet i predstavljaju preokrete koji su obilježili dvadeseto stoljeće.

Léo Favier studirao je vizuelnu umjetnost u Berlinu, a scenarij u Parizu. Njegov opus uključuje igrana i dokumentarna djela u rasponu od eksperimentalnih kratkih filmova, preko knjiga i autofikcionalnih podcasta pa do dugometražnih dokumentarnih filmova. Njegov najrecentniji dokumentarni film MIYAZAKI: DUH PRIRODE premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji 2024. godine.

E MIYAZAKI, SPIRIT OF NATURE is the first documentary to focus on Academy Award® winner Hayao Miyazaki’s deep connection to nature and the environmental themes expressed through his films. Through iconic characters such as Totoro and Princess Mononoke, Miyazaki’s often autobiographical films reflect his deep concerns about the world and echo the upheavals of the twentieth century.

Léo Favier studied visual art in Berlin and screenwriting in Paris. His work spans fiction and nonfiction, including experimental short films, books, an autofiction podcast, and documentary features. MIYAZAKI, SPIRIT OF NATURE , his most recent documentary, had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival in 2025.

Princess Mononoke, 1997

Uzavreli grad / Boom Town

Seljaci i njihove porodice, inžinjeri, tehničari, kriminalci i prostitutke iz svih krajeva Jugoslavije, skupili su se na izgradnji industrijskih postrojenja u Zenici. Osjećajući njihove želje i preokupacije, upravitelj gradilišta Šiba, revolucionar i graditelj odan ideji napretka, pokušava pomoći. Radi s predanošću i ljubavlju koje prevazilaze njegovu dužnost. Teško je ostvariti sve i zadovoljiti svakoga, pogotovo u ovom uzavrelom gradu. Šiba čini greške, vođen željom da postigne nemoguće.

Veljko Bulajić rođen je u Vilusima kraj Nikšića 1928. godine. Srednju školu završio je u Sarajevu, a filmsku režiju studirao je u Rimu. Godine 1959. snima prvi cjelovečernji igrani film VLAK BEZ VOZNOG REDA, s kojim osvaja nekoliko nagrada. Kasnije se okreće visokobudžetnim ratnim filmovima poput BITKE NA NERETVI, koji je bio nominovan za Oscara u kategoriji najboljeg stranog filma 1969. godine. Bulajić je i dobitnik UNESCO-ove nagrade Kalinga za vrhunsko ostvarenje na području umjetnosti i nauke. Preminuo je u Zagrebu 2024. godine.

E Farmers and their families, engineers, technicians, criminals, and prostitutes from across Yugoslavia have converged in Zenica to help build industrial facilities in the town. Siba, a construction site manager, revolutionary, and builder dedicated to the idea of progress, senses their needs and preoccupations, and wants to help them. He works with commitment and dedication that go beyond the demands of his job. It is difficult to achieve all the goals and satisfy all the needs, especially in such a boom town. Guided by his desire to achieve the impossible, Siba makes mistakes.

Veljko Bulajic was born in 1928 near Niksic, Montenegro, in the village of Vilusi. He completed high school education in Sarajevo and studied film directing in Rome. In 1959, he directed his first featurelength narrative film, TRAIN WITHOUT A TIMETABLE, which won multiple awards. He then turned to high-budget war films, among them 1969’s THE BATTLE OF NERETVA, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Bulajic won the UNESCO Kalinga Prize for outstanding contribution to art and science. He died in Zagreb in 2024.

Da je dvanaestogodišnji Karl mogao birati u koga će se zaljubiti, to ne bi bila Lea iz njegovog razreda, koja je puno viša od njega. Sada nema puno vremena da otkrije može li mu Lea uzvratiti ljubav. Nakon ljetnog raspusta, Lea prelazi u drugu školu. Školsko putovanje posljednja je prilika da postane Lein momak. Tokom putovanja čitav razred snima film pod naslovom “Zaljubljenost”. Odjednom postaje očigledno da i drugi imaju isti problem kao i Karl.

Bernd Sahling studirao je režiju na Filmskom univerzitetu “Konrad Wolf” u Babelsbergu i na Koledžu Columbia u Chicagu, gdje se specijalizirao za pisanje scenarija. S nagrađivanim dugometražnim filmovima DIE BLINDGÄNGER i KOPFÜBER, kao i s dokumentarcima ALLES WIRD GUT i EDNAS TAG, Bernd Sahling etablirao se kao reditelj filmova za djecu i mlade. Od 2004. godine vodi filmske radionice za mlade u različitim evropskim zemljama i snima podcaste o metodama rada na filmovima namijenjenim za djecu. Član je Njemačke filmske akademije.

E If twelve-year-old Karl had been able to decide whom to fall in love with, he would not have chosen Lea, a much taller student in his class. Now, he doesn’t have much time to find out whether Lea can reciprocate his feelings. After the summer holidays, she will change schools. Karl has one last chance to become Lea’s boyfriend on the upcoming school trip. During this project week, the class shoots a film titled “In Love.” Suddenly, it becomes clear that Karl is not the only one with his problem.

Bernd Sahling studied directing at the Konrad Wolf Film University of Babelsberg and at Columbia College Chicago, majoring in screenwriting. With the award-winning feature films THE BLIND FLYERS and UPSIDEDOWN as well as documentaries such as ALLES WIRD GUT and EDNAS TAG, Sahling established himself as a director of films for children and youth. Since 2004, he has led film workshops with young people in various European countries and recorded podcast discussions about working methods in children’s film. Sahling is a member of the German Film Academy.

Akiko, der fliegende Affe / Akiko, leteći majmun / Akiko, the Flying Monkey

Mali majmun Akiko živi u zoološkom vrtu. Njegova porodica šalje ga u svijet sa zadatkom da u šumi pronađe svoje rođake i zamoli ih da oslobode životinje iz zoološkog vrta.

Veit Helmer stekao je ugled s kratkim filmovima IZNENAĐENJE!, koji je prikazan i nagrađen u programu „Sedmica kritike“ Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, i AJFELOV TORANJ, koji je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji. Njegov prvi dugometražni film TUVALU prikazan je na šezdeset dva festivala uključujući festivale u San Sebastianu i Berlinu. Njegov film APSURDISTAN premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala Sundance.

E Akiko the little monkey lives in the zoo. His family sends him out into the world, where his task is to find his relatives in the forest and ask them to free the animals from the zoo.

Veit Helmer earned his first merits with his short films SURPRISE!, which was selected for La Semaine de la Critique at the Festival de Cannes, where it won an award, and TOUR EIFFEL, which was presented at the Venice Film Festival. TUVALU, his first feature-length film, was invited to sixty-two festivals, including the Berlin and San Sebastián International Film Festivals. His film ABSURDISTAN had its premiere in competition at the Sundance Film Festival.

DJ Ahmet

Ahmet, petnaestogodišnji dječak iz zabačenog sela Yuruk u Sjevernoj Makedoniji, utočište pronalazi u muzici dok se nosi s očevim očekivanjima, konzervativnom zajednicom i prvim iskustvom ljubavi – s djevojkom koja je već obećana nekom drugom.

Georgi M. Unkovski makedonski je filmski stvaralac s adresom stanovanja u New Yorku. Studirao je na Praškoj filmskoj akademiji (FAMU). Unkovski također radi kao reditelj za jednu od vodećih makedonskih reklamnih agencija.

DJ AHMET, njegov prvi dugometražni film, također je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu Sundance 2025. godine.

E Ahmet, a fifteen-year-old boy from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience in love—with a girl who is already promised to someone else.

Georgi M. Unkovski is a New York-born Macedonian filmmaker who studied at FAMU in Prague. He also works as a director for one of Macedonia’s leading advertising agencies. In 2020, his short film STICKER had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and won more than fifty international awards. DJ AHMET, his first feature-length film premiered at Sundance in 2025.

Grüsse vom Mars / Pozdravi s Marsa /

Greetings from Mars

Nakon što njihova majka otputuje na službeni put u Kinu, tvrdoglavi Tom i njegovi brat i sestra Elmar i Nina odlaze kod bake i dede na selo u ravnici. Međutim, baka i deda su zaboravili da im u posjetu dolaze unuci. Jedino što Tomu pomaže da se nosi s tom situacijom jeste to što je posmatra kao pripremu za svoj put na Mars.

Sarah Winkenstette obrazovala se za rad u novinarstvu, ali se onda okrenula režiji. Završila je studij na Akademiji za medijske umjetnosti u Kölnu, a njen diplomski film GEKIDNAPPED osvojio je brojne nagrade među kojima i Nagradu za najbolji kratki film na Filmskom festivalu Giffoni u Italiji. Nakon primarnog rada na televiziji, godine 2019. snima svoj prvi nagrađivani dugometražni film za djecu PREVIŠE DALEKO. POZDRAVI S MARSA njen je drugi dugometražni film.

E When their mother has to go to China on business, headstrong Tom and his siblings Elmar and Nina visit their grandparents in the flat countryside. But Grandma and Grandpa have forgotten all about their grandchildren’s visit. The only thing that helps Tom is to see the whole thing as preparation for his mission to Mars.

Sarah Winkenstette was trained as a journalist before she turned to directing. She completed her studies at the Cologne Academy of Media Arts and her graduation film GEKIDNAPPED won numerous prizes, including Best Short Film at the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy.

Smrdljivci / Stink Bomb

Neposredno pred početak školskog dana jedan učenik u školskom toaletu aktivira smrdljivu bombu uzrokujući evakuaciju učenika i skraćivanje časova. Direktor škole i školski pedagog pokreću istragu da između pet osumnjičenika identificiraju krivca. Međutim, da li se radilo o blesavom triku ili je aktivacija bombe bila dio šireg plana?

Filip Jembrih je filmski reditelj mlađe generacije iz Brežica u Sloveniji. Nakon što je završio Višu školu za dizajn i fotografiju u Ljubljani, upisao je studij filmske režije na Akademiji za pozorište, radio, film i televiziju. Režirao je nekoliko kratkih filmova koji su prikazani na brojnim međunarodnim festivalima i, također, režira muzičke spotove za slovenske alternativne muzičke grupe.

E Just before the school day begins, a pupil sets off a stink bomb in the school toilets, causing a full evacuation and the school day to be cut short. The headmaster and school counsellor launch an investigation to find the culprit among five suspects. But was it a silly prank—or part of a bigger plan?

Filip Jembrih is a film director of the younger generation from Brežice, Slovenia. After completing studies at the High School of Design and Photography in Ljubljana, he enrolled in film directing at the Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film and Television.

U jednom bugarskom selu, Angel mora izabrati jedan od dva puta nakon što mu deda ponudi da ga nauči voziti. Ako prihvati ponudu, to bi moglo ugroziti bliskost koju dijeli sa svojom sestrom i učiniti da se prikloni patrijarhalnim normama, a ako je odbije, rizikuje da ga proglase slabićem. Anastassya Angelova je rođena i odrasla u Varšavi u porodici bugarskih iseljenika. Studirala je film na Kraljevskom koledžu u Londonu. Nakon što je diplomirala, preselila se u Prag kako bi pohađala magistarski studij režije na FAMU-u. Trenutno živi u Heidelbergu u Njemačkoj.

E In a Bulgarian village, Angel is torn between two paths when his grandfather offers to teach him to drive. Accepting the lessons might mean losing his close bond with his sister and conforming to patriarchal norms, while rejecting it risks being labelled as weak.

Anastassya Angelova was born and raised in Warsaw to Bulgarian expatriates. She studied film at King’s College London. After graduating, she moved to Prague to study for an MA in directing at FAMU. Currently, she lives in Heidelberg, Germany.

Brides / Nevjeste

Najbolje prijateljice, tinejdžerke Doe i Muna, kreću na putovanje života. Tiha, oprezna Doe nije nigdje putovala od treće godine života kada je kao izbjeglica iz Somalije stigla u Veliku Britaniju. Samouvjerena Muna, porijeklom iz Pakistana, dominantna je prijateljica i vodi Doe kroz sigurnosne provjere na aerodromu. Djevojke su blago nervozne i uzbuđene zbog avanture koja im predstoji. Putuju u Istanbul, ali ne na odmor već da bi se našle sa strancem koji će ih odvesti do granice Sirije kako bi u toj zemlji započele novi život.

Nadia Fall je dramatičarka i pozorišna i filmska rediteljica, a odnedavno je i umjetnička direktorica pozorišta Young Vic u Londonu. Prethodno je bila angažovana kao umjetnička i izvršna direktorica Kraljevskog teatra Stratford East i pomoćna direktorica Kraljevskog državnog teatra u Londonu. Njen debitantski film NEVJESTE premijerno je prikazan na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu Sundance.

E Teenage best friends Doe and Muna are going on the trip of a lifetime. Quiet, watchful Doe hasn’t travelled since she arrived in the UK at the age of three as a refugee from Somalia. Badass Muna, of Pakistani heritage, is the dominant force of the pair, leading Doe through airport security. The girls are giddy; excited about their adventure. They are not going on holiday but to Istanbul, to be met by a stranger who will take them to the border to start a new life in Syria.

Nadia Fall is a playwright and theatre and film director, and recently became Artistic Director of the Young Vic theatre in London. Formerly, she was Artistic Director and CEO of the Theatre Royal Stratford East, and an associate director at the Royal National Theatre in London. BRIDES, her debut feature-length film as a director, had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2025.

Olmo

Godina je 1979, Novi Meksiko, Sjedinjene Američke Države. Olmo je zaglavio. Iako ima samo četrnaest godina i radije bi se družio sa svojim najboljim prijateljem Miguelom, došao je red na njega da se brine o svom bolesnom ocu. Ali, kada ga njegova lijepa susjeda Nina pozove na zabavu, učinit će šta god mora kako bi se izvukao iz obaveze i krenuo putem nestašluka i haosa. Kako noć odmiče, možda će početi voljeti mjesto od kojeg tako dugo pokušava pobjeći: vlastiti dom.

Fernando Eimbcke stekao je status jednog od najutjecajnijih reditelja Latinske Amerike u protekloj deceniji. Njegov rediteljski prvenac SEZONA PATAKA prikazan je na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu 2004. godine, a četiri godine kasnije njegov naredni film JEZERO TAHOE imao je premijeru u takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu, gdje je osvojio nagrade „Alfred Bauer“ i FIPRESCI. Njegov treći film KLUB SENDVIČ premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu 2013. godine i, također, osvojio je Srebrenu školjku na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u San Sebastiánu. Njegov najnoviji film OLMO premijerno je prikazan u programu „Panorama“ na Međunarodnom Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2025. godine.

E New Mexico, USA, 1979. Olmo is stuck. Today it’s his turn to take care of his sick father, even though he is only fourteen years old and would much rather be hanging out with his best friend, Miguel. When he gets invited to a party by his beautiful neighbour Nina, Olmo does whatever is necessary to get out of his duties, embarking on a journey of mischief and chaos. As the night unfolds, he may come to love the very place he’s spent so long trying to escape: his home.

Fernando Eimbcke has established himself as one of the most influential directors in Latin America over the past decade. His directorial debut, DUCK SEASON, screened at the Festival de Cannes in 2004. His next, LAKE TAHOE, had its premiere in the Competition at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2008, when it won the Alfred Bauer Prize and the FIPRESCI Prize. CLUB SANDWICH premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013, and won the Golden Shell at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. OLMO, his most recent film, premiered in the Panorama section of the Berlinale in 2025.

Paternal Leave / Očinsko odsustvo

Sama i u potrazi za odgovorima, petnaestogodišnja Leo putuje iz Njemačke na sjever Italije da upozna svog biološkog oca. Paola pronalazi na zimski opustjeloj rivijeri, u baru na plaži zatvorenom na kraju sezone. Njihov prvi susret je napet, pun pitanja, čežnje i neprovarene ljutnje. Mogu li njih dvoje postići međusobno prihvatanje, ljubav i iskrenost?

Alissa Jung diplomirala je scenarij u okviru programa Drehbuchwerkstatt u Münchenu. Režirala je kratke filmove DIE MAUER MUSS WEG i FARAH. S filmom FARAH osvojila je nagradu Goldener Spatz na Njemačkom festivalu dječijeg filma 2024. godine. OČINSKO ODSUSTVO, njen dugometražni rediteljski prvenac, premijerno je prikazan 2025. godine u programu „Generacija 14plus“ na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu.

E Alone and in search of answers, fifteen-year-old Leo travels from Germany to the coast of north Italy to meet her biological father. She finds Paolo in a boarded-up beach bar on the wintry shore. Their first encounter is tense—fraught with questions, longing, and unresolved anger. Can they work towards finding acceptance, love, and honesty?

Alissa Jung earned a degree in screenwriting from Drehbuchwerkstatt Munich. She directed the short films THE WALL MUST FALL and FARAH, the latter of which won the Goldener Spatz Award at the Festival des deutschen Films für Kinder in 2024. PATERNAL LEAVE, her feature-length film directorial debut, had its premiere in the Generation 14plus programme of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2025.

Jedna od Emminih majki ima previše posla, a druga je daleko: jedna je prisustvo koje odbacuje, a druga odsustvo koje idealizira. Trivijalna napetost iznenada se pretvara u intiman i uznemirujući sukob licem u lice. Violette Delvoye diplomirala je na Školi za vizuelne umjetnosti La Cambre u Belgiji. Sarađivala je sa Chloé Alliez na animiranoj seriji SVIJET U STOP ANIMACIJI. Zajedno su radile i na stop animacijskoj komediji LES LIAISONS FOIREUSES koja je prikazana na Filmskom festivalu Sundance.

E One of Emma’s mothers is too busy, the other is too far away: a presence she rejects, an absence she sublimates. Out of trivial tension, an intimate and unsettling face-to-face confrontation suddenly arises. Violette Delvoye graduated from studies at the La Cambre visual arts school in Belgium. She collaborated with Chloé Alliez on the animated series WORLD IN STOP-MOTION. The duo also created the stop-motion comedy INGLORIOUS LIAISONS, which was screened at the Sundance Film Festival.

TeenAction

TeenAction namijenjen je mladima od dvanaest do osamnaest godina koji svoje stavove, razmišljanja, ideje i kreativnost žele izraziti i podijeliti s publikom u formi kratkog filma. Prvi put na 31. Sarajevo Film Festivalu na program Teen Action mogli su se prijaviti mladi iz Hrvatske, Srbije, Crne Gore i Bosne i Hercegovine.

Ovogodišnja tema programa je zaštita okoliša u svim značenjima koja ova riječ može imati za njih: od klimatskih promjena, onečišćenja okoline, zaštite rijeka i ugroženih vrsta, do života u gradu, ekološke pravde, zajedničkih zelenih površina ili čak emocionalnih pejzaža koje nastanjujemo - okoliš je svuda oko nas, i svi ga osjećamo.

Autori/ce kratkih filmova u trajanju do 10 minuta imaju priliku da premijerno prikazati svoj film pred hiljadama vršnjaka u sklopu TeenArena programa 31. Sarajevo Film Festivala, a najbolji filmovi priliku i da osvoje vrijedne nagrade.

E The TeenAction programme is for young people between the ages of twelve and eighteen who want to express their thoughts, views, ideas, and creativity through short films and share them with an audience. For the first time, at this thirty-first Sarajevo Film Festival, young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia are eligible to participate.

The theme of the programme this year is the protection of the environment in the multitude of meanings of the phrase: from climate change, environmental pollution, and the protection of rivers and endangered species to life in the cities, environmental justice, common green spaces, or even the emotional landscapes we inhibit—the environment is all around us and all of us can feel it.

Creators of short films of up to ten minutes in duration have the opportunity to premiere them before an audience of their peers as part of the TeenArena programme at the Sarajevo Film Festival, and the best films get a chance to win valuable prizes.

Once Upon a Time in Gaza / Bilo jednom u Gazi

Gaza, 2007. Mladi student Jahja sklapa prijateljstvo s Osamom, harizmatičnim i srčanim vlasnikom restorana. Zajedno, uz falafel sendviče, počnu distribuirati i drogu, ali ubrzo su prisiljeni suočiti se s korumpiranim policajcem i njegovim velikim egom.

Tarzan i Arab Nasser rođeni su 1988. godine u Gazi. Karijeru u svijetu filma počeli su kratkim filmom OPERACIJA KONDOM, koji je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Nakon toga snimili su svoj prvi dugometražni film DÉGRADÉ, koji je 2015. godine premijerno prikazan u programu „Sedmica kritike“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Njihov naredni dugometražni film GAZA MON AMOUR premijerno je prikazan u programu „Horizonti“ na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji 2020. godine i, također, bio je palestinski kandidat za Oscara. Njihov najnoviji film BILO JEDNOM U GAZI osvojio je Nagradu za najbolju režiju programa „Izvjestan pogled“ (Un Certain Regard) na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu 2025. godine.

E Gaza, 2007. Yahya, a young student, forges a friendship with Osama, a charismatic restaurant owner with a big heart. Together, they start peddling drugs while delivering falafel sandwiches, but they are soon forced to grapple with a corrupt cop and his oversized ego.

Tarzan and Arab Nasser were born in Gaza in 1988. They started their filmmaking careers with the short film CONDOM LEAD, which was selected for the Festival de Cannes, before making their first feature-length film, DÉGRADÉ, which had its premiere in La Semaine de la Critique at Cannes. Their second feature, GAZA MON AMOUR, premiered in the Orizzonti Section of Venice Film Festival and was Palestine’s submission to the Academy Awards. For ONCE UPON A TIME IN GAZA, their most recent film, they won award for Best Directing in Un Certain Regard in Cannes.

Ma’ Hasan Fi Ghazza / S Hasanom u Gazi / With Hasan in Gaza

Tri MiniDV trake na kojima su snimci svakodnevnog života u Gazi iz 2001. godine nedavno su ponovo pronađene. Ti snimci sada su spomen na mjesto i vrijeme kojih više nema. Ono što je 1989. godine počelo kao potraga za drugom iz zatvora, čovjekom izgubljenim u vremenu i ratu, završilo je kao neočekivano putovanje od sjevera do juga Gaze s Hasanom, lokalnim vodičem čija je sudbina sada nepoznata. Dok se kreće kroz ulice i predjele Gaze, kamera bilježi kratke trenutke svakodnevnice, fragmente sada nepovratno promijenjene stvarnosti. S HASANOM U GAZI transformiše te zaboravljene snimke u filmsku refleksiju uspomena, gubitka i protoka vremena, bilježeći nekadašnju Gazu i živote koji će možda zauvijek ostati izgubljeni.

Kamal Aljafari je palestinski filmski stvaralac. Radio je kao profesor filma u Novoj školi u New Yorku i na Njemačkoj akademiji za film i televiziju u Berlinu. Za svoj profesionalni doprinos nagrađen je stipendijom Centra za studij filma Instituta Radcliffe pri Univerzitetu Harvard, a u skorije vrijeme i stipendijom Instituta za ideje i imaginaciju Univerziteta Columbia. Njegov dokumentarac FEDAJINSKI FILM osvojio je Veliku nagradu žirija na festivalu Visions du Réel 2024. godine. Film S HASANOM U GAZI premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu.

E Three MiniDV tapes of life in Gaza from 2001 were recently discovered. The footage is now a testament to a place and time that no longer exists. What started as a search for a former prison inmate in 1989—a man lost to time and war—led to an unexpected road trip from the north to the south of Gaza with Hasan, a local guide whose fate remains unknown. As the camera moves through Gaza’s streets and landscapes, it records fleeting moments of everyday life—fragments of a reality now irreversibly altered. WITH HASAN IN GAZA transforms this forgotten footage into a cinematic reflection on memory, loss, and the passage of time, capturing a Gaza of the past and lives that may never be found again.

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

Pretpremijere Serije / Avant Premiere Series

A Life’s Worth / Vrijednost života

VRIJEDNOST ŽIVOTA je serija u šest nastavaka inspirisana prvim švedskim bataljonom UN-a koji je 1993. raspoređen u Bosnu i Hercegovinu. Četiri mlada vojnika prvi put su na službi u inostranstvu u komplikovanom i krvavom sukobu. Ispostavit će se da je njihovu misiju nemoguće ispuniti isključivo mirnim sredstvima. Vojnici služe pod komandom zapovjednika bataljona koji je razapet između želje da interveniše i obaveze da prati naređenja. Serija donosi priču o ljudskoj brutalnosti i teškim moralnim odlukama, ali i o snažnom prijateljstvu, ljubavi i povjerenju među ljudima.

Mona Masri studirala je žurnalistiku i kreativno pisanje na univerzitetima JMK i Lund, a scenarij u slavnoj Scenarističkoj akademiji Alma Löv. Dio je scenarističkog tima originalne Netflix serije SNABBA KEŠ i danske Netflix serije KOPENHAŠKI KAUBOJ.

E A LIFE’S WORTH is a six-part drama series inspired by the first Swedish UN battalion that arrived in Bosnia in 1993. Four young soldiers do their first overseas tour of service in the tangled and bloody conflict in the Balkans. The mission proves impossible to solve by peaceful means alone. They are accompanied by their battalion commander, who is torn between his desire to intervene and the duty to follow orders. This is a story of human brutality and difficult moral decisions, but also of strong friendship, love, and trust.

Mona Masri studied journalism and creative writing at the University of Stockholm and Lund University, and screenwriting at the renowned Alma Löv Script Academy. She is one of the writers of the Netflix original series SNABBA CASH and the Danish Netflix series COPENHAGEN COWBOY.

The Proposition / Ponuda

PONUDA je snažna epska priča o trojici braće u sukobu: jedan mora preživjeti, jedan mora umrijeti, a jedan mora donijeti odluku. Vizuelno zadivljujuća priča o odanosti, izdaji i osveti, smještena je u devetnaesto stoljeće, dok je Australija još bila pod britanskom kolonijalnom vlašću. U surovom i nemilosrdnom krajoliku australskog zaleđa, Charlie Burns dobija nemoguć prijedlog od britanskog kapetana Stanleya: jedini način da spasi svog mlađeg brata Mickeyja od vješala jeste da pronađe i ubije Arthura, svog psihotičnog starijeg brata. U međuvremenu, kapetan Stanley se suočava s vlastitim problemima. Nakon što su napustili udoban život u Engleskoj, očajnički pokušava zaštititi svoju otmjenu suprugu Marthu od brutalnosti njihove nove sredine. Također je pod sve većim pritiskom domaćeg stanovništva i svog nadređenog Edena Fletchera da uspostavi red u regiji. Kako se događaji sve više približavaju vrhuncu, raste osjećaj neizvjesnosti i prijetnje. Svaki lik suočava se s teškim moralnim dilemama koje neminovno vode ka razarajućem raspletu.

John Hillcoat stekao je diplomu na Školi filma Swinburne u Melbournu. Nakon nekoliko kratkih filmova režirao je svoj dugometražni prvenac DUHOVI… MRTVIH CIVILA koji je nominovan za devet nagrada Australskog instituta za film, osvojio je Nagradu za najbolji film Filmskog festivala u San Sebastianu te je prikazan u takmičarskoj konkurenciji na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji. Film PONUDA režirao je 2005. godine, a s njim je osigurao osam nominacija za nagradu Australskog instituta za film, uključujući i za najbolju režiju. Za televiziju je, između ostalog, režirao jednu epizodu serije CRNO OGLEDALO. Istovremeno s radom na filmu, režirao je muzičke spotove i sarađivao na različitim projektima s umjetnicima među kojima su bili i Nick Cave, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Robert Plant te muzičke grupe Einstürzende Neubauten, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode, Muse, The Rolling Stones i Massive Attack.

E THE PROPOSITION is a powerful and epic tale of three brothers in conflict; One must live, one must die, and one must decide. It is a visually stunning story of loyalty, betrayal and retribution, set in 1880’s Australia, still under British colonial rule. In the harsh, unforgiving landscape of the Outback, Charlie Burns is presented with an impossible proposition by British law enforcer Captain Stanley: the only way to save his younger brother Mickey from the gallows is to track down and kill Arthur, his psychotic older brother. Meanwhile Captain Stanley has other problems to contend with. Having given up their comfortable life in England, he is desperate to shield his well-bred wife Martha from the brutalities of their new surroundings. He also faces mounting pressure from the indigenous population, and his superior Eden Fletcher to bring order to the region. An uneasy sense of foreboding grows as events close in and each character faces a punishing moral dilemma that leads inexorably to a devastating climax.

John Hillcoat graduated from Melbourne’s Swinburne Film School. After directing several short films, his first feature-length film, GHOSTS… OF THE CIVIL DEAD received nine nominations for Australian Film Institute Awards nad the award for Best Film at the San Sebastián International Film Festival, and was presented in competition at the Venice Film Festival. THE PROPOSITION was released in 2005, and was nominated for eight AFI Awards, including Best Director. For television, Hillcoat has directed an episode of BLACK MIRROR, among other works. Alongside his feature-film career, he has directed music videos and collaborated on projects with such artists as Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Depeche Mode, Einstürzende Neubauten, Massive Attack, Muse, the Rolling Stones, and Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Kao specijalnu projekciju predstavit ćemo omnibus koji je nastao kao rezultat nastavnog zadatka studenata Akademije scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu.

S dvadeset i tri svjetske, dvije međunarodne, jednu evropsku i četiri regionalne premijere ovogodišnji BH filmski program pruža temeljit uvid u sve bogatstvo godišnje filmske produkcije Bosne i Hercegovine.

E The twentieth anniversary edition of the BH Film programme includes forty-three films created and produced by Bosnian and Herzegovinian directors and producers over the past twelve months. The programme presents nineteen feature-length films, two of which are narrative and seventeen documentary.

Nakon godina zlostavljanja i poniženja, grupa stanara staračkog doma „Paviljon“ odlučuje se na oružanu pobunu. Naoružani ilegalnim sredstvima, zauzimaju dom, uzimaju osoblje za taoce i ulaze u sukob s vlastima. Njihova očajnička borba prerasta u medijski i politički spektakl, dok starost postaje njihova prednost – nemaju šta izgubiti i spremni su da idu do kraja. U „Paviljonu“ nastaje novi poredak, vođen osvetom i nakupljenim bijesom, a pregovori s pobunjenicima postaju nemogući.

After years of abuse and humiliation, residents of the Pavilion, a home for the elderly, start a rebellion. Armed by illegal means, they capture the home, take its staff hostage, and clash with authorities. Their desperate battle turns into a political and media spectacle, and their old age turns into their advantage: they have nothing to lose and are ready to fight to the bitter end. A new order is established in the Pavilion, guided by the thirst for revenge and accumulated rage, and negotiating with the rebels becomes impossible.

Hana je stidljiva šesnaestogodišnja djevojka, potajno zaljubljena u školskog druga iz lokalnog dua Luka & Balša, poznatog s društvenih mreža. Sljedećeg jutra Hana gubi oca. Dok se porodica raspravlja o tome kako treba da izgleda „prava“ sahrana, Hana se suočava s majčinom nesposobnošću da se odupre zahtjevima muškaraca. Razočarana i zbunjena, Hana bježi na jezero. Tamo je čeka novo razočarenje. Vrlo brzo shvata da Balša nije samo momak s kojim dijeli obostrane osjećaje. Nastaje emotivni haos – rezultirajući u ljubomori, skrivenom nasilju i tenzijama u ljubavnom trokutu s Lukom i Balšom. Hani se pruža izbor: da šuti o onome što se dogodilo ili da konačno zauzme stav.

BLUM - GOSPODARI SVOJE BUDUĆNOSTI / BLUMMASTERS OF THEIR OWN DESTINY

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, 2024, DCP, color / b&w, 76 min. • Režija / Director: Jasmila Žbanić • Scenarij / Screenwriters: Jasmila Žbanić, Zoran Solomun • Direktor fotografije / Director of Photography: Eldar Emrić • Montaža / Editor: Vladimir Gojun • Kostimografija / Costume Designer: Irma Saje • Dizajn zvuka / Sound Designer: Igor Čamo • Producenti / Producers: Damir Ibrahimović, Jasmila Žbanić, Richard Bondi • Producentske kuće / Production Companies: Deblokada, Razor • Kontakt / Contact: info@deblokada.ba

Nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, u razorenoj, ruralnoj Bosni i Hercegovini, poduzetnik Emerik Blum stvorio je veliku i uspješnu firmu “Energoinvest” koja je poslovala širom svijeta s milijardama dolara profita. Iskorištavajući i socijalizam i kapitalizam, te specifičan položaj Jugoslavije koja nije pripadala ni istočnom ni zapadnom političkom bloku, firma je djelovala prema jedinstvenom poslovnom modelu širom svijeta, temeljenom na sudjelovanju radnika u upravljanju i dobiti. Emerik Blum je od malog studija napravio kompaniju poslovnog giganta radeći po modelu samoupravljanja. Samoupravljanje je način rada u kojem svi zaposleni radnici u fabrici ili preduzeću odlučuju o svim stvarima koje se tiču njihove firme. Taj najdemokratskiji model izvrsno je funcionisao u ovom slučaju, ali je široj javnosti nepoznat.

Emerik Blum created a large and successful global company, “Energoinvest,” which operated worldwide with billions in profit, starting in a devastated, rural country with a largely illiterate population, right after World War II. Taking advantage of Yugoslavia’s unique position between East and West, socialism and capitalism, the company operated on a globally unique business model that combined workers’ participation in both management and profit-sharing. Blum transformed a small engineering workshop into a thriving enterprise by operating under the workers’ self-management model, where all employees in a factory have a say in decisions regarding the company. This highly democratic model worked exceptionally well in this case, but is largely forgotten today.

Tokom rata u Bosni, Sead Delić pobjegao je na slobodnu teritoriju Srebrenice, gdje se pridružio vojsci i 1995. preživio genocid. Nakon rata odselio je u Ameriku i ispunio svoj dječački san da postane vozač kamiona. Uprkos činjenici da je izgradio novi život, prošlost nastavlja da ga proganja. U potrazi za odgovorima o vlastitom identitetu, uranja u historiju srednjovjekovne Bosne, posjećuje tvrđave, gradove i stećke. Ta strast njegovom životu daje novi smisao, a poštivanje bosanskog nasljeđa postaje njegova misija.

During the Bosnian War, Sead Delić escaped to the free territory of Srebrenica, where he served as a soldier and survived the 1995 genocide. After the war, he moved to the United States and fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a truck driver. Despite his new life, the past continued to haunt him. Seeking answers about his identity, he immersed himself in the history of medieval Bosnia, visiting fortresses, towns, and stećak tombstones. This passion gave his life new meaning and became his mission to honour Bosnia’s heritage.

Ćetiba Dupanović uspostavila je festival scenskih umjetnosti u Bihaću, otvorila vrata i kapije pozorišnom karavanu i uvela ga u historiju grada. Uz hrabrost koju je Ćetiba imala, tu je bilo i njeno vizionarstvo i strast da od Bihaća napravi festivalski pozorišni centar. I uspjela je. Ove, 2025. godine Bihać je domaćin 27. festivalu. Istovremeno, Ćetiba je žena kojoj je vlastiti život nikad okončana predstava - od antičke tragedije do kabarea. Žena snažna i vedra poput Une, nepokolebljivo je vjerovala u svjetlo i dobro, u čovjeka, ljepotu i značaj umjetnosti - od ratnog siročeta 2. svjetskog rata pa sve do našeg rata i najstrašnijeg životnog iskušenja

Ćetiba Dupanović established the Bihać Festival of Performing Arts , opened the doors to the theater caravan, and introduced it to the history of the city. Along with the courage that Ćetiba had, there was also her vision and passion to make Bihać a theater center. And she succeeded. It is the 27th this year. Also, Ćetiba is a woman whose own life is a neverending play - from ancient tragedy to cabaret. A woman as strong and cheerful as Una, she unwaveringly believed in light and goodness and the importance of art, from a war orphan of World War II to our war and the most terrible trial in her life.

Vođena nerazriješenom prošlošću, vraća se u Sarajevo, gdje je do desete godine živjela u Domu Bjelave. Evakuisana humanitarnim konvojem na početku rata, danas se ponovo susreće sa prijateljima iz djetinjstva – Amelom, svojom najboljom prijateljicom, i Brankom, koji joj je bio poput starijeg brata. Zajedno ponovo otkrivaju grad i moderni dom koji ju je nekad zbrinjavao. Iako u početku nevoljko i s otporom pristupa uspomenama na majku, Mirela osjeća nedefinisan, ali snažan osjećaj gubitka. Njeno putovanje prerasta u potragu za majkom – i za samom sobom – što je vodi do njenog planinskog rodnog mjesta u Republici Srpskoj, gdje traži svoj rodni list. Kroz arhivske snimke opkoljenog Sarajeva i intimna prisjećanja, Mirela tka lično pamćenje u samu tkaninu historije. Mirela, a 40-year-old Bosnian woman, lives in Rimini with her partner and two children. Driven by an unresolved past, she returns to Sarajevo, where she lived until age ten at Bjelave orphanage. Evacuated on a humanitarian convoy at the war’s outbreak, she now reunites with her childhood friends, Amela, her best friend, and Branko, an older brother figure. Together, they rediscover the city and the modern orphanage that once sheltered her. Initially reluctant and resentful toward memories of her mother, Mirela feels an undefined but powerful sense of loss. Her journey evolves into a quest for her mother and herself, taking her to her mountainous birthplace in Republika Srpska to retrieve her birth certificate. Through archival footage of besieged Sarajevo and intimate recollections, she weaves personal memory into history itself.

Zahvaljujući podršci roditelja, predanom radu s trenerom Amelom Kapom u plivačkom klubu SPID iz Sarajeva, ali prije svega - nevjerovatnoj snazi volje, ovi dječaci dobili su priliku da se takmiče na velikoj sceni. Ismail Barlov osvajač je srebrne medalje na Paraolimpijskim igrama u Parizu, a Ismail Zulfić seniorski evropski rekorder u svojoj disciplini. Nastupi za Bosnu i Hercegovinu na međunarodnim mitinzima, Evropskim i Svjetskim prvenstvima, te Paraolimpijskim igrama, vrhunac su njihove sportske i životne pobjede. Istovremeno, ovo je priča o ljubavi prema sportu koja ruši sve barijere, o prijateljstvu koje je više od toga, o predanosti, upornosti te snovima koji postaju stvarnost ako imamo hrabrosti da idemo za njima.

Their participation in international competitions, including European and World Championships, and the Paralympic Games, represents the pinnacle of their athletic and personal journeys. Ultimately, this is a heartwarming tale of the power of sports to overcome limitations, of a profound friendship, and of the dedication and perseverance that lead to the realization of dreams.

U podijeljenom gradu Mostaru, u Bosni i Hercegovini, nekada čuveno nacionalno spomen-obilježje i groblje u čast mladim partizanskim borcima iz Drugog svjetskog rata uništavaju neofašističke snage.

PORODICA / FAMILY

Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2024, DCP, color, 50 min. • Režija / Director: Davorin Sekulić • Scenarij / Screenwriter: Tatjana Sekulić • Direktor fotografije / Director of Photography: Davorin Sekulić • Montaža / Editor: Davorin Sekulić • Muzika / Music: Nedim Mulalić • Dizajn zvuka / Sound Designer: Adnan Zilić • Producenti / Producers: Anesa Marić, Semir Hambo • Učesnici / Cast: Marinko Sekulić, Nermina Sekulić, Sandro Sekulić, Tatjana Sekulić, Fatima Husejnović • Producentske kuće / Production Companies: Klix, Al Jazeera Balkans • Kontakt / Contact: davorinsek@gmail.com

Identitet čovjeka određuje njegova duša, a identitet grada ljudi koji su duša tog grada. Bošnjakinja Nermina i Srbin Marinko, koji su u braku 35 godina, povratnici su u Srebrenicu, gradić na sjeveroistoku Bosne i Hercegovine. Ono lijepo što je obilježilo njihovo 35-godišnje zajedništvo je petero djece i uspjeh da sačuvaju brak, uprkos gotovo nemogućim uvjetima. Dok Marinko i Nermina sanjaju o Srebrenici prije rata, gradu punom ljudi, razvijenoj privredi, u stvarnosti proživljavaju ono što su njihovi roditelji prije 30 godina, samo ovaj put u miru. Cijenu zajedničkog života u gradu s burnom prošlošću plaćaju tako što i najmlađeg sina ispraćaju daleko od Srebrenice, nakon što su davno ispratili četvero starije djece.

A person’s identity is defined by their soul, and the identity of a town is defined by the people who are its soul. Nermina, a Bosniak woman, and Marinko, a Serb, have been married for 35 years and are returnees to Srebrenica, a small town in northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. What marks their 35 years of life together is the blessing of five children and the strength to preserve their marriage despite almost impossible circumstances. As Marinko and Nermina dream of the pre-war Srebrenica — a town full of people and a thriving economy — in reality, they are reliving what their parents went through 30 years ago, only this time in peace. The price they pay for a shared life in a town with a turbulent past is saying goodbye to their youngest son, sending him far from Srebrenica, just as they once said farewell to their four older children.

U julu 1995. vojska Republike Srpske osvojila je Srebrenicu i masakrirala 8.000 bošnjačkih muškaraca. Vojnici vojske bosanskih Srba uništili su svaki trag srebreničkih žitelja: njihove dnevnike, fotografije i pisma. Jedna VHS traka preživjela je to uništenje. Jedinstven dokument, četveročasovni film koji emotivno opisuje detalje svakodnevnog života u enklavi snimljen za jednu gledateljicu, tada devetogodišnju Alisu, kćerku strastvenog amaterskog filmskog stvaraoca i stanovnika Srebrenice Sejfe. Alisa se vraća u Srebrenicu da bi pratila tragove svoga oca.

In July 1995, the Army of the Republika Srpska captured Srebrenica and massacred 8,000 Muslim men. The Bosnian Serb Army troops destroyed every trace of Srebrenica’s inhabitants: their diaries, photos, and letters. One VHS tape survived destruction. This unique document is a four-hour film that describes in emotional detail everyday life in the enclave, shot for a single viewer: Alisa, the then nine-year-old daughter of Sejfo, an avid amateur filmmaker and resident of Srebrenica. Alisa returns to Srebrenica to trace the footsteps of her father.

What does public space mean to us today, and who even cares about what we see beyond our four walls and daily digital screens? Where have the

values of shared, common space gone? These are the questions posed by this documentary film. After more than two decades, a magazine dedicated to subcultural events and voices from music, literature, and the arts is back. While Urban Bug was printed in Banja Luka in the early 2000s, PUNKURA emerged in Sarajevo during the pandemic. It was launched by sculptor Nardina Zubanović and Canadian journalist Adrian Pečotić, with visual design by Šejla Bratić, whose unique style gives the magazine its distinctive identity. Unlike its predecessor, PUNKURA is funded entirely through donations, which caused a temporary publishing break. Thanks to the support of the Austrian Cultural Forum, the fourth issue is now in the works! Take a look behind the scenes of this unique magazine and discover how Nina (Nardina) sees the city of Sarajevo.
