CONTENTS l 32. Sarajevo Film Festival

Film vrijedi gledati zajedno / Watching Films with Others Is a Valuable Experience U vremenu u kojem film možemo pogledati gotovo bilo gdje, iskustvo filmskog festivala postaje vrjednije nego ikada – ne zato što filmove čini dostupnima, nego zato što omogućava zajedničko gledanje, razgovor i razmjenu različitih pogleda na svijet. Ne dolazimo na Festival zato što mislimo isto. Dolazimo zato što vjerujemo da film vrijedi gledati zajedno. Upravo iz tog zajedničkog iskustva nastaje ono što nijedna digitalna platforma ne može ponuditi, a to je susret uživo autora i publike, susret različitih kultura, generacija i iskustava. Jovan Marjanović

Ovog augusta Sarajevo će ponovo postati mjesto tog susreta. U gradu će se okupiti autori, glumci, producenti, distributeri, festivalski programeri, studenti filma, dok će više od 250 filmova i preko 150.000 ulazaka publike iz cijelog svijeta ispuniti kina i druge festivalske prostore, a istovremeno će na CineLink Danima filmske industrije nastajati partnerstva i razvijati se filmovi koje ćemo tek gledati narednih godina. Ovogodišnje izdanje otvaramo filmom OČEVINA Paweła Pawlikowskog, jednog od najznačajnijih filmskih autora našeg vremena. Film koji govori o identitetu, pripadanju i Evropi danas snažan je uvod u teme koje će obilježiti ovogodišnji Festival. Program ne nastaje slučajno. Dan prije otvaranja, u Ljetnom kinu Coca-Cola, prikazat ćemo potpuno restauriranu verziju ŽENE S KRAJOLIKOM Ivice Matića iz 1976. godine, jednog od najvažnijih ostvarenja bosanskohercegovačke kinematografije. Festival ćemo zatvoriti digitalno restauriranom NIČIJOM ZEMLJOM Danisa Tanovića, dvadeset i pet godina nakon što je osvojila Oscara. Između ta tri filma postoji zajednička nit. Ona nas podsjeća da veliki filmovi ne pripadaju samo vremenu u kojem su nastali, nego svakom novom susretu s publikom. Ta ideja nastavlja se kroz cijeli ovogodišnji program. U takmičarskim selekcijama predstavljamo 51 novi film iz Jugoistočne Evrope, među njima čak 21 svjetsku premijeru. Za mnoge od tih autora upravo će Sarajevo biti mjesto prvog susreta s međunarodnom publikom. Danas je Sarajevo Film Festival mjesto na kojem regionalna kinematografija najčešće započinje svoj međunarodni festivalski život. To nije rezultat jednog izdanja, nego više od tri decenije povjerenja autora koji svoje filmove donose upravo ovdje. Program Open Air Premijere, koji smo prošle godine pokrenuli kako bismo filmovima iz naše uže regije pružili još snažniji susret s publikom,

32. Sarajevo Film Festival l UVODNA RIJEČ

ove godine dobija i svoju posebnu nagradu nazvanu Prix Cineplexx, koju bira upravo publika. Nadamo se da će ona s vremenom postati priznanje koje će pratiti daljnji život ovih filmova i nakon njihovih festivalskih premijera. Iako su takmičarski programi prirodno u središtu pažnje, Sarajevo Film Festival oduvijek je bio mnogo više od takmičenja. Svaki od naših programa nudi drugačiji pogled na savremenu kinematografiju, od regionalnih ostvarenja u programima U FOKUSU i BH Film, preko najznačajnijih evropskih i svjetskih filmova u programima Open Air, Kinoscope, Summer Screen i programu Evropskog kratkog filma, do Posebnih projekcija, koje ove godine prvi put uključuju i Ponoćne projekcije. Posebno mjesto imaju Dječiji program i TeenArena, kao i programi posvećeni ljudskim pravima, suočavanju s prošlošću te međunarodnim partnerstvima, među kojima posebno mjesto zauzima saradnja s Doha Film Institutom. Festival je i prostor u kojem razgovaramo o filmskoj umjetnosti, njenoj budućnosti i njenom nasljeđu. U programu Posvećeno ove godine odajemo priznanje Asgharu Farhadiju, jednom od najznačajnijih filmskih autora današnjice. Istovremeno, pokrećemo novi trogodišnji program “Bela u Sarajevu”, posvećen nasljeđu Béle Tarra kroz filmove njegovih nekadašnjih studenata na Film Factoryju u Sarajevu. Umjesto retrospektive njegovih filmova, željeli smo govoriti o njegovom nasljeđu kroz autore koji su iz Sarajeva nastavili graditi svoje međunarodne karijere. Čini nam se da nema ljepšeg načina da se govori o jednom učitelju nego kroz djela njegovih studenata. Jedna od najvećih vrijednosti filmskog festivala jeste mogućnost da publika susretne umjetnike čije je filmove godinama gledala. Ove godine Sarajevo će ugostiti neke od najznačajnijih filmskih autora i umjetnika današnjice. Kroz program Masterclass, i razgovore s publikom, imat ćemo priliku slušati Paweła Pawlikowskog, Asghara Farhadija, Emily Watson, Diega Lunu, Céline Sciammu i Woodyja Harrelsona. Posebnu čast predstavlja što će Počasno Srce Sarajeva ove godine primiti Emily Watson, Woody Harrelson, Diego Luna, Asghar Farhadi i Emir Hadžihafizbegović. Svako od njih ostavio je jedinstven trag u svjetskoj ili regionalnoj kinematografiji. Među ovogodišnjim laureatima imamo i umjetnika koji je svojim radom posebno obilježio bosanskohercegovačku

kinematografiju. Međunarodni ugled ima smisla samo ako ne zaboravimo umjetnike iz sredine iz koje je Festival nastao. Naravno, Festival ne čine samo oni čija imena staju u uvodnik. On postoji zahvaljujući autorima koji nam povjeravaju svoje filmove, članovima žirija, partnerima, sponzorima, institucijama, našem timu i stotinama volontera koji ga svake godine zajedno grade – prije svega, zahvaljujući publici. Hvala vam što nam već trideset i dvije godine poklanjate svoje vrijeme, svoju znatiželju i svoje povjerenje. Dobro došli na 32. Sarajevo Film Festival.

E At a time when one can watch films almost anywhere, festival-going becomes more valuable than ever. Beyond the fact that festivals make films available to us, they let us watch films together and cthey reate space for discussion and the exchange of different viewpoints. We do not attend festivals simply because we share a mindset with the other attendees; we attend them because we believe watching films together with other people is a valuable experience. It is this shared experience that offers what no digital platform can: a meeting place that provides the chance for filmmakers and audiences to meet in person, the chance for the crossing of paths of diverse cultures, and of people of different generations and different life experiences.

This August, Sarajevo once again becomes such a meeting place. Filmmakers, actors, producers, distributors, festival programmers, and film students will gather in our city, where we will screen more than 250 films and where more than 150,000 visitors from around the world will fill cinemas and festival venues, while in parallel new creative partnerships are forged and future films developed withing CineLink Industry Days. The forthcoming edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival opens with a screening of FATHERLAND by Paweł Pawlikovski, one of today’s most distinguished filmmakers. The film explores issues of identity, belonging, and contemporary Europe, and is a powerful introduction into the themes that distinguish this year’s event. The evening before the official opening of the festival, we present a screening in the Coca-Cola Open Air Cinema of a fully restored copy of Ivica

Matić’s 1976 film LANDSCAPE WITH A WOMAN, one of the most notable films ever produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A digital restoration of Danis Tanović’s NO MAN’S LAND closes the festival, a quarter of a century after it won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. A thread connects these three films, one that reminds us that great films do not belong only to the time when they are created but are reborn in every new meeting with audiences. This idea permeates the entirety of this year’s festival programme. Its competition sections feature fifty-one recently produced films from Southeast Europe, among which twenty-one have their world premieres in Sarajevo. Many of the filmmakers behind the films in the competition will have their first encounters with audiences in Sarajevo. Our city has become a place where films produced in our region make their first stop before embarking on the international festival circuit. This is the cumulative result of more than three decades of building trust with the directors who bring their films to our festival. The Open Air Premieres programme, which we launched last year so filmmakers from our immediate neighbourhood can bond even more strongly with audiences, will now have a dedicated award, the Prix Cineplexx. It is an award presented to a film selected by the audience, and we hope that in time it will become a recognition that will distinguish the winning films long after their festival premieres. While competition programmes are understandably a focus of significant attention, the Sarajevo Film Festival has always been more than just a competition. Each of its programmes offers a different view of contemporary film production, from the In Focus and BH Film programmes, which showcase regional films, through the Open Air, Kinoscope, Summer Screen, and European Short programmes, in which significant recent European and global films are presented, to the Special Screenings programme, which, for the first time this year, also includes a Midnight Screenings section. A special place in the festival is reserved for young people in the Children’s Programme and TeenArena, and we continue to offer film selections dedicated to supporting human rights initiatives, healing the wounds of conflict in our Dealing with the Past programme, and international partnerships, most notably our longstanding collaboration with the Doha Film Institute.

Film festivals are where we talk about the art of cinema today, its heritage, and its future. In this year’s Tribute to programme, we honour Asghar Farhadi, one of the most important filmmakers of our time. We also launch a new three-year programme to celebrate the legacy of Béla Tarr and the students of his experimental Sarajevobased film.factory. Rather than organising a retrospective of Tarr’s own films, we focus on his legacy by presenting films by the young filmmakers who were mentored by the master and went on to build their international careers after their time at the film.factory. We believe that there is no better way to celebrate a teacher than by celebrating the work of their students. Among the greatest values of a film festival is that it allows cinephiles to meet the directors and film artists whose work they have been watching for years. This year, the Sarajevo Film Festival once again welcomes some of the most celebrated living film artists. In the Masterclass sidebar and organised meetings with audiences, festival-goers have a chance to meet and hear from Paweł Pawlikowski, Asghar Farhadi, Emily Watson, Diego Luna, Céline Sciamma, and Woody Harrelson. It is a special privilege to present the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo Award to Emily Watson, Woody Harrelson, Diego Luna, Asghar Farhadi, and Emir Hadžihafizbegović, each of whom has left a special mark on international and regional cinema. We are especially proud that this year’s laureates include an artist whose work has left a special mark on Bosnian film. Celebrating artists from the birthplace of the festival is an important foundation for building international respect. Of course, the Sarajevo Film Festival is made up of far more than just the names that are mentioned in the introduction. The festival exists because of the many filmmakers who trust us with their films, the members of our juries, our partners and sponsors, the institutions that support us, our team, and the hundreds of volunteers who, year after year, help us put the festival together. And, more than anything, this festival exists because of our audience. Thank you for sharing your time, your trust, and your curiosity with us for thirty-two years. Welcome to the 32nd edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival. Jovan Marjanović, Direktor / Director, Sarajevo Film Festival

Uvod / Introduction Ovogodišnji Takmičarski program – dugometražni igrani film Sarajevo Film Festivala predstavlja devet novih dugometražnih filmova iz regije. Program čine uglavnom drugi i treći igrani filmovi njihovih autora, uz jedno debitantsko i dva peta dugometražna ostvarenja, čime se potvrđuje istovremena pojava novih autorskih glasova i kontinuitet stvaralačkog razvoja afirmiranih reditelja i rediteljica.

Elma Tataragić

Makedonska debitantica Kosara Mitić predstavlja film 17, koji je ranije ove godine premijerno prikazan na Berlinaleu. Film prati Saru, povučenu sedamnaestogodišnjakinju čije se emocionalno distancirano ponašanje postepeno razotkriva kroz traumatično iskustvo seksualnog nasilja. Mitić ne ublažava brutalnost tog iskustva, stvarajući beskompromisno ostvarenje koje može izazvati podijeljene reakcije publike, ali i ostaviti snažan emocionalni utisak. Gruzijska rediteljica Ana Urushadze vraća se u Takmičarski program drugim dugometražnim filmom SPOREDNA ULOGA. Čini se da je film inspirisan iskustvom koje je doživjela tokom kastinga za svoj debitantski film STRAŠNA MAJKA (2017), dobitnika Srca Sarajeva. Film prati veterana glumišta Niaza, koji se osjeća duboko poniženim kada ga pozovu na audiciju za, po njegovom mišljenju, beznačajnu ulogu u debitantskom filmu mlade autorice. Balansirajući između melanholije i suptilnog humora, Urushadze donosi dirljiv portret glumca koji vodi tihu borbu s prolaznošću vremena i vlastitim osjećajem svrhe. Slovenska rediteljica Urša Menart predstavlja svjetsku premijeru svog drugog dugometražnog filma SVE ŠTO NIJE U REDU S TOBOM. Film prati djevojku Marušukoja, nakon majčine bolesti, potraživši utočište na farmi otuđenog oca, sklapa neočekivano prijateljstvo s Aljom, medicinskom sestrom i influenserkom. Menart istražuje sve veću teškoću uspostavljanja istinskih prijateljstava u odrasloj dobi, portretirajući generaciju obilježenu usamljenošću, emocionalnom izolacijom i čežnjom za autentičnom ljudskom bliskošću. DUA, drugi dugometražni film kosovske rediteljice Blerte Basholli, snažna je drama o odrastanju, smještena u Prištinu krajem devedesetih godina, koja sukob između Kosova i Srbije prikazuje isključivo iz perspektive trinaestogodišnje djevojčice. Basholli koristi pristup “kamera kao svjedok”, često se služeći pokretnom kamerom iz ruke koja ostaje u neposrednoj blizini glavne

junakinje, uvlačeći gledaoce u njen tjeskobni i znatiželjni svijet. Film je premijerno prikazan u programu Sedmica kritike Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Rediteljica Dina Duma iz Sjeverne Makedonije predstavlja evropsku premijeru drugog dugometražnog filma SKEJTANJE NIJE ZA CURE, razvijenog kroz CineLink koprodukcijski market. Koristeći skejtbord kao metaforu za prostore koji se tradicionalno smatraju neprikladnim za djevojke, film istražuje društvena ograničenja nametnuta mladim ženama, ali i opstojnost prisilnih brakova u pojedinim dijelovima Evrope. Većinom neprofesionalni glumački ansambl ostvaruje izuzetno uvjerljive izvedbe, dok energična muzička podloga ublažava težinu teme osjećajem prkosa, otpornosti i osnaživanja. Film, koji je svjetsku premijeru imao na u Tribeci, potvrđuje Dumu kao autoricu prepoznatljivog i sigurnog rediteljskog rukopisa. Dobitnik Velike nagrade žirija u programu World Cinema festivala Sundance, treći dugometražni film Visara Morine SHAME AND MONEY, označava autorov povratak rodnom Kosovu. Ovo ostvarenje ponovo se bavi društvenom isključenošću, kroz pitanja bogatstva, klasnih razlika i ekonomske nejednakosti. Kada porodična farma više ne može osigurati egzistenciju, sredovječni Šaban odlazi u Prištinu, gdje sestra njegove supruge vodi lagodan život zahvaljujući uspješnom suprugu poduzetniku. Morina gradi duboko humanu priču o ponosu, porodici i emocionalnoj cijeni ekonomskog preživljavanja. Austrijska autorica Sandra Wollner predstavlja treći dugometražni film SVAKI PUT. Nakon tragične smrti, porodica i partner preminule žene pokušavaju pronaći put ka iscjeljenju tokom zajedničkog odmora na Tenerifima, gdje se stvarnost postepeno prepliće sa sjećanjima, snovima i mogućim paralelnim životima. Wollner izuzetno suptilno prikazuje način na koji tuga mijenja percepciju vremena, pretvarajući intimnu porodičnu dramu u hipnotičnu i emocionalno snažnu refleksiju o gubitku. Film je premijerno prikazan u programu Izvjestan pogled Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Hrvatski reditelj Zvonimir Jurić predstavlja međunarodnu premijeru petog dugometražnog filma MALE STVARI. Labavo zasnovan na istoimenoj kratkoj priči Jurice Pavičića, film prati dvije sestre, njihovog brata i oca koji zajedno provode zimski vikend u oronuloj porodičnoj kući. Suzdržanom režijom, emocionalnom

autentičnošću i izvrsnim ansamblom, koji predvode Marija Škaričić, Iva Roščić, Izudin Bajrović i Juraj Lerotić, Jurić pronalazi izuzetnu dubinu u naizgled običnim porodičnim odnosima. Rumunski reditelj Florin Șerban također se vraća petim dugometražnim filmom TI OVDJE NE PRIPADAŠ, premijerno prikazanim u glavnom programu u Locarnu. Smješten u mali rumunski grad, film prati uglednog hirurga čiji se pažljivo uređeni život počinje raspadati usred rastućeg nasilja usmjerenog prema romskoj zajednici. Kada njegov osamnaestogodišnji sin prizna ubistvo, glavni junak suočava se s nerješivom moralnom dilemom. Dugim kadrovima, suptilnom glumom i autentičnim osjećajem prostora, Șerban oblikuje potresan portret čovjeka koji svjedoči urušavanju svega u što je vjerovao. Ovih devet filmova zajedno pružaju bogatu panoramu savremene regionalne kinematografije – od intimnih porodičnih drama i priča o odrastanju do socijalnog realizma i formalno smjelih autorskih ostvarenja. Činjenica da su šest od devet filmova režirale žene svjedoči ne samo o umjetničkoj raznovrsnosti ovogodišnjeg programa, već i o sve snažnijem i raznovrsnijem autorskom glasu koji oblikuje budućnost regionalne kinematografije.

follows Niaz, a veteran actor who is insulted by being asked to audition for what he considers an insignificant role in a debut film. Balancing melancholy with subtle humour, Urushadze delivers a moving portrait of an actor struggling against time and his own sense of purpose. Slovenian director Ušra Menart presents the world premiere of her second feature, EVERYTHING THAT’S WRONG WITH YOU. The film follows Maruša, a woman in her mid-twenties who is trying to rebuild her life after her mother’s illness. She develops an unexpected friendship with Alja, a nurse and social media influencer. Menart explores the growing difficulty of forming meaningful friendships in adulthood, portraying a generation marked by loneliness, emotional isolation, and a longing for genuine human connection. Kosovan director Blerta Basholli’s sophomore feature DUA is a powerful coming-of-age drama set in late-1990s Pristina that explores the realities of the Kosovo-Serbia conflict from the perspective of a thirteen-year-old girl. Basholli employs a camera-as-witness approach, frequently using handheld tracking shots that remain intimately close to Dua, immersing the audience in her anxious and observant world. The film premiered in La Semaine de la Critique at this year’s Festival de Cannes.

E This year’s Sarajevo Film Festival Competition

programme – narrative feature presents nine new feature films from across the region. The selection is dominated by second and third features, alongside one debut and two fifth films, reflecting both the emergence of new voices and the continued development of established auteurs. North Macedonian debut director Kosara Mitić presents 17, which had its premiere earlier this year at the Berlin International Film Festival. The film follows Sara, a withdrawn seventeenyear-old whose detached demeanour is gradually explained through a harrowing sexual assault. Mitić refuses to soften the brutality of the experience, creating a film that is deeply disturbing and that may prove divisive precisely because of its uncompromising portrayal of sexual violence. Georgian director Ana Urushadze returns to the Competition with her second feature SUPPORTING ROLE, apparently inspired by an experience while casting her debut, SCARY MOTHER (2017), which received the Heart of Sarajevo. The story

North Macedonian director Dina Duma presents the European premiere of her second feature, SKATEBOARDING IS NOT FOR GIRLS, which was developed through the CineLink Co-Production Market. Using skateboarding as a metaphor for spaces traditionally considered unsuitable for girls, the film explores the social restrictions imposed on young women and the persistence of forced marriage. The largely non-professional cast members deliver remarkably natural performances, while its energetic soundtrack balances the injustice in the story with an inspiring sense of resilience and empowerment. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and confirms Duma’s confident and distinctive directorial voice. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize in Sundance’s World Cinema Competition, Visar Morina’s third feature marks a return to his homeland. SHAME AND MONEY once again examining social exclusion, this time through the lens of wealth, class, and economic inequality. After the family farm becomes unsustainable, middle-aged Shaban is forced to seek work in Pristina, where his wife’s

sister enjoys a comfortable life made possible by her entrepreneur husband. Morina crafts a deeply human story about pride, family, and the emotional cost of economic hardship. Austrian filmmaker Sandra Wollner presents her third feature, EVERYTIME. After a tragic death, a fractured family and the victim’s boyfriend attempt to heal during a holiday in Tenerife, where reality gradually dissolves into memories, dreams, and parallel possibilities. Wollner masterfully captures the ways grief distorts the perception of time, transforming an intimate domestic drama into a hypnotic and emotionally resonant exploration of loss. The film premiered in Un Certain Regard at Cannes this year. Croatian director Zvonimir Jurić presents the international premiere of his fifth feature, LITTLE THINGS. Loosely based on Jurica Pavičić’s short story of the same name, the film follows two sisters, two children, and two men – father and son – who spend a winter weekend together in the deteriorating family home. With its restrained storytelling, emotional authenticity, and outstanding ensemble cast – including Marija Škaričić, Iva Roščić, Izudin Bajrović, and Juraj Lerotić – the film finds remarkable depth in seemingly ordinary family interactions. Romanian director Florin Șerban also returns with his fifth feature, YOU DON’T BELONG HERE, which premiered in competition at the Locarno Film Festival. Set in a small Romanian town, the film follows a respected surgeon whose carefully ordered life begins to unravel amid growing anti-Roma violence. When his eighteen-yearold son confesses to a murder, the protagonist is forced into an impossible moral dilemma. Through long takes, understated performances, and an authentic sense of place, Șerban crafts a deeply affecting portrait of a man facing the collapse of everything he believed in. Together, these nine films offer a rich panorama of contemporary regional cinema, spanning intimate family dramas, coming-of-age stories, social realism, and formally adventurous works. With six of the nine films directed by women, this year’s Competition reflects not only the artistic diversity of the region but also the growing strength and plurality of voices shaping its cinematic future.

Dua Priština, Kosovo, kasne devedesete godine prošloga stoljeća. Dok se rat približava, a etničke tenzije rastu, trinaestogodišnja Dua muči se da pronađe mjesto za sebe među svojim vršnjacima i u svome mijenjajućem tijelu. Nakon jednog incidenta u njenoj lokalnoj zajednici, Dua i sama postaje meta i zbližava se s neustrašivom Maki koja je upoznaje s neočekivanim oblikom otpora. U svakodnevnici ispunjenoj nasiljem i rastućom prijetnjom izgonstva, teško je pronaći prostor za tiha otkrovenja. Blerta Basholli je spisateljica i rediteljica rođena na Kosovu. Tokom rata na Kosovu kao izbjeglica je živjela u Sjevernoj Makedoniji i Njemačkoj. Njeni kratki filmovi prikazani su i nagrađeni na brojnim međunarodnim filmskim festivalima.

As war looms and ethnic tensions escalate, thirteen-year-old Dua struggles to find her place among her peers and within her changing body. After an incident shakes her community, she becomes a target herself and bonds with a fearless girl who draws her towards an unexpected form of resistance. Between the daily violence and the growing threat of exile, there is little room for quiet awakenings.

Everytime / Svaki put Tragedija ujedinjuje majku, kćerku i jednog tinejdžera. Dok se bore s osjećajem krivice i praštanjem, neobični trojac odlazi na Tenerife na porodični odmor koji se nikada nije dogodio. Pod žarkim suncem, prošlost i sadašnjost tiho počinju da se prepliću.

Male stvari / Small Things Tokom jednog zimskog vikenda sestre Anica i Irena, zajedno s Irenino dvoje djece, dolaze na otok posjetiti oca i brata Ivana, šutljivog samotnjaka. Povod okupljanju je očeva odluka o prodaji obiteljske zemlje. Zatvoreni u trošnoj obiteljskoj kući, članovi obitelji prisiljeni su suočiti se s potisnutim odnosima i teškim odlukama, dok će jedno od njih morati podnijeti najveću žrtvu.

E During a winter weekend, sisters Anica and Irena, accompanied by Irena’s two children, travel to an island to visit their father and their brother Ivan, a quiet loner. The reason for the gathering is their father’s decision to sell the family land. Confined in the worn-down family house, the members of the family are forced to confront long-suppressed tensions and difficult choices, while one of them will have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Meorekhariskhovani roli / Sporedna uloga / Supporting Role Umirovljena gruzijska filmska zvijezda, nekada navikla igrati herojske glavne uloge, kreće na katarzično putovanje nakon audicije s mladom redateljicom koja mu u svom dugometražnom prvijencu nudi sporednu ulogu neobičnog i izrazito nesimpatičnog lika. S audicije odlazi razočaran, čak pomalo uvrijeđen. No kako se priča razvija, postupno se prepušta ulozi, opčinjen neobičnim i nepoznatim. To iskustvo u njemu budi nešto novo i pokreće nepovratan proces unutarnje preobrazbe. Ana Urushadze je diplomirala 2013. godine na Državnom univerzitetu za pozorište i film Šota Rustaveli. Napisala je i režirala nekoliko kratkih filmova prije nego što je završila debitantski igrani film STRAŠNA MAJKA. Film je osvojio Nagradu za najbolji debitantski igrani film na Filmskom festivalu u Locarnu i Srce Sarajeva na Sarajevo Film Festivalu 2017. godine. Njen najnoviji igrani film SPOREDNA ULOGA premijerno je prikazan u programu Tiger Competition na ovogodišnjem izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Rotterdamu, gdje je osvojio Specijalnu nagradu žirija i nagradu FIPRESCI. E A retired Georgian film star, once accustomed to playing heroic leading roles, embarks on a cathartic journey after a casting session with a young female director, who offers him the supporting role of a bizarre and deeply unsympathetic character in her debut feature. He leaves the audition unconvinced, even slightly offended. Yet as the story unfolds, he gradually surrenders to the role, becoming captivated by the strange and the unknown. The experience awakens something within him, setting in motion an irreversible process of self-transformation.

Ana Urushadze graduated from the Shota Rustaveli Theatre and Film State University in 2013. She wrote and directed several short films before completing SCARY MOTHER, her debut fiction feature, which received the Best First Feature Award at the Locarno Film Festival and the Heart of Sarajevo in 2017. SUPPORTING ROLE, Urushadze’s most recent feature, had its premiere in the Tiger Competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2026, when it won the Special Jury Award and the FIPRESCI Prize.

Shame and Money Četrdesetogodišnji bračni par živi u višegeneracijskom seoskom domaćinstvu na Kosovu, skromno zarađujući od rada na porodičnoj farmi. Nakon teške porodične svađe, ostaju bez izvora prihoda i prisiljeni su preseliti se u Prištinu.

Skejtanjeto ne e za devojchinja / Skejtanje nije za cure / Skateboarding Is Not for Girls Jedanaestogodišnja Adela i njena starija sestra Zara osjećaju duboku bliskost dok se zajednički probijaju kroz dva kontradiktorna svijeta. Dok borave u školi, njih dvije su tipične, buntovne tinejdžerke sa skejtovima, profilima na društvenim mrežama, kratkim majicama i momcima. Nakon škole, u mirnoj i radnoj atmosferi, pomažu majci u čišćenju tuđih kuća kako bi prehranile porodicu. Kada siromaštvo potrese njihovu porodicu, Adela pokušava pronaći način da spasi svoju stariju, ali još uvijek maloljetnu sestru, od gotovo neizbježne sudbine: ugovorenog braka. Dina Duma je diplomirala filmsku i televizijsku režiju na Fakultetu dramskih umjetnosti u Skoplju. SESTRINSTVO, njen debitantski igrani film, 2021. godine je premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu Karlovy Vary, gdje je osvojio Specijalnu nagradu žirija u takmičarskom programu East of the West. Tokom rada na pripremi svog najnovijeg filma SKEJTANJE NIJE ZA CURE učestvovala je u programima Berlinale Talents, Cannes Residence i CineLink Industry Days. Film je premijerno prikazan na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu Tribeca. E Eleven-year-old Adela and her elder sister Zara share a deep bond shaped by their navigation of two contradictory worlds. At school, they are typical, rebellious teens with skateboards, social media, crop tops, and boyfriends. After school, in a quiet and disciplined mode, they help their mother with cleaning jobs to make ends meet. When poverty shakes the family, Adela tries to find a way to save her sister – still a minor – from a fate that is becoming almost inevitable: an arranged marriage.

Dina Duma graduated from studies in film and television directing at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Skopje. Her feature-length fiction film debut SISTERHOOD had its premiered at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2021, when it won the Special Jury Prize of the East of the West Competition. She is an alum of Berlinale Talents and the Cannes Résidence, as well as Cinelink Industry Days, which she attended while developing SKATEBOARDING IS NOT FOR GIRLS, her latest feature film. The film had its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2026.

Svake godine na selekciju nam stigne do tristo filmova, dok je ove godine taj broj premašen. To ne znači da se produkcijska situacija u regiji popravila; nažalost, u mnogim zemljama se znatno pogoršala. Ono pozitivno što se dogodilo je vidljiva proaktivnost autora, bolje snalaženje u okviru evropske filmske scene, prisutnost na međunarodnim prezentacijama; sve je to rezultiralo vecim brojem koprodukcija i kvalitativnim skokom. Ove godine, možda nikada kao prije, autori putuju kroz žanrove, lucidno se poigravaju elementima fikcije, animacije, arhiva, poezije. Za takmičarski program izabran je 21 film – trinaest cjelovečernjih te osam kratkih. Devet filmova imat će svjetske premijere, četiri međunarodne i osam regionalne, dok je jedan film izvan konkurencije. Ono što tematski karakterizira ovogodišnju selekciju je filmsko promišljanje o posljedicama društvenih slomova – bilo da je riječ o bivšem idealističkom političaru u samonametnutom egzilu, psihološkom teretu nakon hiljadu dana na ukrajinskom ratištu, transgeneracijskoj traumi u srpskom selu ili kolektivnoj tuzi nakon tragedije u sjevernomakedonskom disko-klubu. Dokumentarci se često fokusiraju na ljude koji žive u liminalnim (međuprostorima) i limitirajućim okruženjima – poput osamdesetogodišnje Bugarke, cirkuske trenerice koja s medvjedicom Natašom živi na parkiralištu u Amsterdamu; osuđenika na duge kazne u slovenskom zatvoru koji prolaze kroz proces psihodrame; migranata iz Azije koji u Hrvatskoj žive kao nevidljivi i trpe mržnju lokalaca; ukrajinskog dirigenta koji u vulkanu rata koristi pauze mira za muziku. Zapažamo slično i u grčkoj priči o plahom usamljenom koji svoj mir pronalazi u svijetu insekata, kao i u činu konceptualne umjetnice iz Hrvatske koja se suprotstavlja ideologiji patrijarhata; karizmatičnoj ženi u Moldaviji koja unatoč pritisku obitelji želi postati gradonačelnica; supruzi Palestinca u izraelskom zatvoru koja krijumčarenjem sperme provodi tihi, radikalni čin reproduktivnog otpora. Kada ogolimo politički i povijesni kontekst same priče, ostaje nam čista, egzistencijalna drama pojedinca poput gotovo nevjerojatne priče o dječaku iz Srebrenice, ili povijesnom momentu masakra i prevrata u Azerbajdžanu do humoristično-filozofskog promišljanja o stvaranju javnog mišljenja nakon lokalnih glasina o pojavi medvjeda u istarskom gradiću.

44 32. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMI ARSKI PROGRAM DUGOMETRAŽNI DOKUMENTARNI FILM

Moć mikronarativa Zanimljivo je da su žene autori ove godine u nekoliko filmova pozicionirale kameru kao participativni, suosjećajni svjedok koji omogućuje gledatelju da uroni u naraciju. Taj imerzivni kvalitet vidi se naročito u odnosu rediteljica koje su često i same protagonistice. Time kamera dobiva pristup iznimno osjetljivim, privatnim trenucima i barijere između privatnog i filmskog su nevidljive. Bilo da je riječ o scenama dugih čekanja između vojnih misija kako bi se prenijela sama “tekstura preživljavanja” ili šarmantno ispričane priče imigrantice koja se bori s predrasudama zbog “slavenskog naglaska” u zapadnoj Evropi, propitivanja o pojmu pripadanja uokvireno pričom o karizmatičnom filmašu, autoru amaterskih kaubojaca Hariju Džeksonu iz Bijeljine, lucidno i vrckavo istkanoj porodičnoj sagi o tetki boemskog stila u srpskoj provinciji ili sofisticiranoj refleksiji autorice o dječijem ratnom dnevniku koji postaje leća kroz koju se shvaća masovni, sveobuhvatni sukob. Sve su to ostvarenja koja s mudrošću i umijećem rediteljica, u prvom licu jednine, uz odmjereni ispovjedni ton, izuzetan šarm i lepršavost, progovaraju o velikim životnim izazovima. Humor i lakoća pripovijedanja krasi i roadtrip dokumentarac o autumobilu marke “Yugo” kao najgorem ikada vozilu uvezenom u SAD. Zanimljivo je analizirati kako se na različitim razinama žene opiru muškim utvrdama i patrijarhatu; od folklorne do čisto sociopolitičke; od zvonarki u procesiji u Austriji, preko aktivizma umjetnice iz Hrvatske, ulaska žena u tradicionalno muške oblasti poput streljaštva u turskom selu do karizmatične žene koja na planinskim obroncima Crne Gore prkosi međunarodnom i lokalnom establišmentu. Otvorenje Ne čudi da je srpsko-francusko-crnogorskohrvatsko-slovenski film PLANINA osvojio Grand Prix na prestižnom Filmskom festivalu Sundance jer se sve ovo što je gore navedeno kao vrlina u raznim filmovima, skupilo i ispreplelo na najuzbudljiviji način u ovom impresivnom, tihom, poetičnom, ali i dramski uzburkanom, politički izoštrenom dokumentarcu s vizuelno očaravajućom fotografijom i preciznom režijom. Film ljušti slojeve borbe ekofeministice, pastirice zaljubljene u život i prirodu, mudre osobe koja se bez kalkulacija bori protiv rigidne vojne i patrijarhalne logike moćnika.

Cijena ustrajnosti i pojam heroja Zajednički nazivnik skoro svih filmova je pitanje ko su heroji oko nas. Jesu li to mladi koji su preživjeli tragediju u disko-klubu u Kočanima, o kojoj reditelj majstorski tka naraciju sazdanu od traume i tuge; migranti koji znajući da će postati omraženi u novoj sredini ipak traže “svoje mjesto pod suncem”; oni koji brane svoj stav unutar porodice i društva? Ustrajnost ima visoku cijenu, a ona se najčešće plaća u valuti izolacije i transgeneracijske drame. Dokumentaristi su osobito ustrajni ljudi, rade na filmovima po pet ili čak deset godina unatoč malim budžetima, a njihova najveća “plaća” je prisutnost publike u kinodvorani. Zato vas od srca pozivamo na naše projekcije. Dobro nam došli! E Every year, as many as three hundred films

are submitted to us for consideration. This year, however, that number was exceeded. Unfortunately, this does not mean the production situation in the region has improved; in many countries, it has significantly worsened. However, the filmmakers improved navigation within the European film scene, became proactive, and increased their presence at international pitches. All of this has unlocked co-production opportunities, resulting in a larger number of films and a leap in quality. It is precisely this sophisticated cinematic signature that characterises this year’s selection. Perhaps more than ever before, filmmakers are travelling through genres, lucidly playing with elements of fiction, animation, archive material, poetry, and comedy. For the Documentary Competition Programme, thirteen feature-length and eight short films have been selected, for a total of twenty-one. Nine films celebrate their world premiere in Sarajevo, while four are international premieres, and eight are regional. One film screens out of competition. Thematically, the selection is characterised by cinematic reflections on the consequences of social collapse – whether in the form of an idealistic ex-politician in self-imposed exile, the psychological burden of living through a thousand days on the front line of the war in Ukraine, transgenerational trauma in a Serbian village, or collective grief following a tragedy in a North Macedonian disco club.

Documentaries frequently focus on people living in liminal spaces and limiting environments. We see this in compelling works about an eighty-year-old Bulgarian circus trainer living in an Amsterdam parking lot with her bear, Natasha; about long-term inmates of a Slovenian prison undergoing a psychodrama; Asian migrants in Croatia living as “invisible” citizens while enduring local xenophobia; and a Ukrainian conductor who, amid the volcano of war, uses pauses of peace for music. In between worlds, we also encounter a timid, lonely Greek boy in the world of insects, a conceptual artist from Croatia confronting patriarchal ideology, a charismatic woman in Moldova who fights social and family pressure to run for mayor, and the wife of a Palestinian prisoner in an Israeli jail performing a quiet, radical act of reproductive resistance by smuggling sperm. When we strip away the political and historical context of the narratives, what remains is the pure, existential drama of the individual. We see this in the almost unbelievable story of a boy from Srebrenica, the historical moment of a massacre and resistance in Azerbaijan, and a humorously philosophical reflection on public opinion-shaping in a small Istrian town. The Power of Micro-Narratives One particularly striking feature of the films directed by women is the way the camera functions not merely as an observational tool, but as a participatory and empathetic witness, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully in the narrative. This immersive quality is especially evident in films in which the directors themselves are also protagonists. Whether depicting the long periods of waiting between military missions in order to convey the very texture of survival; the humorous and charmingly told story of an immigrant woman being mocked for her Slavic accent in Western Europe; an exploration of belonging framed through the story of Bosnian charismatic Western film director; a witty and elegantly woven family saga centred on a bohemian aunt in provincial Serbia; or a sophisticated reflection on a childhood wartime diary – these are all films in which accomplished women directors speak in the first person singular with wisdom, restraint, warmth, and lightness, addressing life’s greatest challenges through a confessional voice. Humour and narrative ease also grace a road-trip documentary about the Yugo – infamous as the worst car ever imported into the United States.

It is equally fascinating to observe the different ways women as protagonists challenge male strongholds and patriarchal structures, from the folkloric to the overtly socio-political: from female bell ringers participating in a procession in Austria to the contemporary activism of a Croatian conceptual artist; from women entering the traditionally male world of target shooting in a Turkish village to a charismatic shepherd who, on the slopes of the mountains of Montenegro, defies both the local and international establishments. Opening Film It is no surprise that the Serbian-French-Montenegrin-Croatian-Slovenian film TO HOLD THE MOUNTAIN won the Grand Prix at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. All the elements noted above as virtues in various films converge and intertwine in the most thrilling way in this impressive documentary. It is quiet and poetic, yet dramatically turbulent and politically sharp, boasting a visually mesmerising style and precise direction. The film peels back the layers of a struggle led by an eco-feminist – a shepherd in love with life, nature, and humans and animals – a wise individual who fights without calculation against the rigid, military, and patriarchal logic of the powerful. The Price of Perseverance and the Concept of the Hero Who are the heroes among us? This question unites nearly all the films in the programme. Are they the youngsters who survived a devastating fire at the disco, whose story the director masterfully weaves into a narrative of trauma and grief? Or the migrants who, despite knowing they will face hostility in their new communities, continue searching for their “place in the sun”? Or those who defend their convictions within their families and societies? Perseverance comes at a high cost, and it is most often paid in the currency of isolation and transgenerational trauma. Documentary filmmakers are people with enormous perseverance; they work patiently, with small budgets, on single films for five or even ten years. The greatest reward for them is the audience’s presence. Welcome! Rada Šešić Selektorica / Programmer

Don’t Ask Me If I Killed Nakon što je njen svijet razoren ruskom invazijom, ukrajinska filmska autorica Helena Maksyom zamijenila je kameru puškom, a potom odlučila da prigrli oboje. Tokom hiljadu ratnih dana snimala je moralni sunovrat običnih ljudi prisiljenih da ubijaju, kao i njihovu tešku borbu da sačuvaju dušu u svijetu svakodnevnog nasilja. Helena Maksyom je autorica dokumentarnih filmova i rezervna oficirka Ukrajinske narodne garde. Studirala je na Državnoj vazduhoplovnoj akademiji u Kijevu, gdje je stekla zvanje magistrice ekologije i okolišne zaštite.

Electing Ms Santa Politička arena u Moldaviji više nije rezervisana isključivo za muškarce – barem ne u Eleninom selu. Ova četrdesetdvogodišnjakinja, nakon što je pokrenula hrabru kampanju za lokalne izbore, postala je neugodan podsjetnik da se vremena mijenjaju. Njena izborna utrka više je od političke kampanje; priča o njenoj kandidaturi priča je o ženi koja se usudila ignorisati patrijarhalna ograničenja u trenutku kada se njena zemlja nalazi na historijskoj prekretnici i sve se više okreće Evropskoj uniji. Raisa Răzmeriță uspješno je završila program obuke Discoveries Balkanskog centra za dokumentarni film te je dobitnica stipendije Fondacije “Malik Bendjelloul”. Kao rediteljica sarađuje s producentskom kućom HaiDOC. Također radi kao montažerka i ostvaruje saradnju s brojnim moldavskim nevladinim organizacijama. Njen najnoviji dokumentarni film ELECTING MS SANTA premijerno je prikazan na Filmskom festivalu “Crne noći” u Talinu 2025. godine, gdje je osvojio Specijalnu nagradu žirija. E Politics in Moldova is no longer just a man’s game – at least, not in Elena’s village. By launching a bold bid for local office, the forty-two-year-old woman becomes the uncomfortable face of change. Her decision to run is more than just a political campaign: it is the story of a woman daring to dismantle patriarchal boundaries while her entire nation stands on the threshold of historic transformation, edging closer to the European Union.

Raisa Răzmeriță is a graduate of Balkan Documentary Center Discoveries and a Malik Bendjelloul fellow. Alongside collaborating as a director with HaiDOC Productions, she is also an editor and works with a few Moldovan NGOs.

The Balkan Cowboy Umjetnica Dragana Jurišić putuje u Bijeljinu, grad u Bosni i Hercegovini, kako bi snimila kratki film inspirisan kultnim amaterskim rediteljem vesterna Harijem Džeksonom. Dragana nastoji ispričati priču o Harijevom životu i zaostavštini uz pomoć lokalnog stanovništva. Susreće njegove nekadašnje saradnike, članove porodice i druge mještane, oživljavajući uspomene na Harijev grad prije rata i upoznajući njegove današnje stanovnike. Dokumentarni film koji nastaje iz tog procesa istražuje utjecaj rata na Harija, na autoricu filma i na sam grad te postavlja pitanje da li je duh Harija Džeksona još uvijek živ. Dragana Jurišić je priznata fotografska umjetnica, spisateljica i filmska autorica. Bila je snimateljica i istraživačica na dugometražnom dokumentarnom filmu Cathy Pearson UHVATI SLIKU o izuzetnom životu Johna G. Morrisa, jednog od najutjecajnijih fotourednika 20. stoljeća. U okviru projekta koji je naručila Nacionalna galerija Irske, korežirala je kratki film HOME | IRELAND 2020. godine. THE BALKAN COWBOY je njen dugometražni rediteljski prvenac. E Artist Dragana Jurišić travels to the town of Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, to stage a short film in the style of the mythical cult Western director Hari Džekson (Harry Jackson). In an attempt to uncover the story of Džekson’s life and legacy, Jurišić embarks on making a Western with the local community. She meets his former collaborators, family members, and local residents, piecing together memories of Džekson’s town before the war and getting to know its inhabitants today. The resulting documentary becomes an exploration of the impact of war on Džekson, Jurišić herself, and the town. It also asks whether the spirit of Hari Džekson still exists today.

Tragovi pripadanja / Fragments of Belonging Tatjana je usamljena. Rođena u Hrvatskoj, živjela je diljem Evrope prije nego što se skrasila u Amsterdamu. Petnaest godina kasnije, njen sin tinejdžer srami se svoje čudne majke s groznim slavenskim naglaskom kojoj nedostaje nizozemske suzdržanosti. No, to je stari problem: Tatjana se oduvijek i posvuda osjećala kao strankinja. Sada je odlučna napokon pronaći zlatni gral pripadanja, pa obilazi prijatelje i rodbinu razasutu po Evropi i pita ih kako se to postiže. Tatjana Božić je rođena u Hrvatskoj, a živi u Amsterdamu. Magistrirala je televizijsko novinarstvo, a postdiplomski studij završila na Višoj školi za scenariste i reditelje u Moskvi. Njen dugometražni dokumentarac LJUBAVNA ODISEJA iz 2014. godine imao je svjetsku premijeru u takmičarskom programu na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu i osvojio je nagradu Golden Kalf na Nizozemskom filmskom festivalu. E Tatjana is lonely. Born in Croatia, she lived in various locations around Europe before settling in Amsterdam. Fifteen years later, her teenage son is embarrassed by his strange mother, who speaks with a strong Slavic accent and suffers from a lack of Dutch restraint. But this is nothing new: Tatjana has always felt like an outsider everywhere she goes. Now, determined finally to find the Holy Grail of belonging, she is visiting friends and relatives scattered around Europe to ask them how.

Tatjana Božić was born in Croatia and lives in Amsterdam. She holds a master’s degree in television journalism and completed postgraduate studies at the Moscow School of Scriptwriting and Directing.

Zabranjena tetka / The Forbidden Aunt U svijetu punom sapunica, jedna srbijanska porodica dokazuje da je stvarnost luđa, mračnija i puno uzbudljivija od fikcije. Nakon srcelomnog kraja ljubavne veze, srbijansko-austrijska glumica i filmska autorica Bojana Novaković napušta blještavilo Hollywooda i odlazi u ruralnu Srbiju kako bi obnovila vezu sa svojom ekscentričnom, otuđenom tetkom Gordanom i pronašla prijeko potreban mir. Bojana ne može ni zamisliti emotivnu oluju koja će je uvući u vrtlog porodičnih tajni i prisiliti je da se suoči sa skrivenom traumom koja je oblikovala četiri generacije žena u njenoj porodici. Bojana Novaković je nagrađivana glumica, spisateljica i društvena aktivistica. Trenutno koordinira Marš sa Drine, kampanju protiv projekta masovnog iskopavanja litijuma u Srbiji kompanije Rio Tinto, za koju je dobila nekoliko ekoloških priznanja. Također je suosnivačica i direktorica australske pozorišne trupe Ride on Theatre, s kojom je producirala i glumila u trinaest predstava. Film ZABRANJENA TETKA njen je rediteljski prvenac. E In a world overflowing with soap operas, one Serbian family shows that reality is wilder, darker, and far more gripping than fiction. After a gut-wrenching breakup, Serbian-Australian actor-turnedfilmmaker Bojana Novaković leaves the dazzling world of Hollywood and heads to rural Serbia, hoping to reconnect with her eccentric, estranged Aunt Gordana for some much-needed peace. What Bojana doesn’t anticipate, however, is the storm that will pull her into a whirlwind of family secrets, forcing her to confront the hidden trauma that’s shaped four generations of women in her family.

Bojana Novaković is an award-winning actor, writer, director, and community organiser. She is currently the coordinator of Marš sa Drine, a Serbian collective opposed to mining giant Rio Tinto’s proposed lithium project, for which she has won several environmental awards. She was co-founder and director of Ride on Theatre in Australia for which she produced and starred in more than a dozen productions. THE FORBIDDEN AUNT marks her directorial debut.

Živjećemo zajedno / We Shall Live Together Roko Markovina, socijalistički zastupnik u Parlamentu Bosne i Hercegovine od 1990. do 1996. godine, nakon izbijanja rata odlučuje ostati u Mostaru sa svojom obitelji, vjerujući da je to njegova moralna dužnost, unatoč tome što je grad razdirao etnički sukob. Rokova antinacionalistička uvjerenja navela su ga da glasa protiv Daytonskog sporazuma – odluka koja ga je pretvorila u simboličnu figuru bosanskohercegovačke ljevice, ali i u izopćenika u očima nacionalista. Platio je cijenu svog moralnog integriteta: izgubio je zemlju, stranku, grad i dom. Trideset godina poslije živi u dobrovoljnom progonstvu na otoku sa suprugom, dok njegove odluke i dalje opterećuju odnos sa sinovima. Kroz njihove susrete film istražuje nasljeđe rata, obiteljske podjele i pitanje šta je potrebno da bi se krenulo dalje. Damir Markovina je diplomirao filmsku i televizijsku režiju na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu nakon što je na istoj Akademiji završio i studij glume. Njegov kratki dokumentarni film ŠIHTA prikazan je na 25. Sarajevo Film Festivalu u takmičarskom programu studentskog filma. Srednjometražni dokumentarni film ČEKAJ ME osvojio je Glavnu nagradu AJB DOC festivala Sarajevo 2021. godine, Nagradu za najbolji studentski dokumentarni film Pulskog filmskog festivala i OKTAVIJAN – hrvatsku nacionalnu FIPRESCI nagradu za najbolji nacionalni kratki dokumentarni film. Njegov drugi srednjometražni dokumentarni film DEZERTERI osvojio je Nagradu za najbolji srednjoevropski i istočnoevropski film te Nagradu za najbolji dizajn zvuka na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu dokumentarnog filma Ji.hlava 2022. godine. ŽIVJEĆEMO ZAJEDNO je njegov prvi dugometražni dokumentarni film. E At the outbreak of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Roko Markovina – a socialist who served as a member of the country’s parliament between 1990 and 1996 – decided to stay in Mostar, his hometown, with his family, convinced it was his moral duty despite the ethnic conflict ravaging the town. Roko’s anti-nationalist convictions inspired him to vote against the Dayton Peace Agreement – an act that made him a symbol of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s leftists, but also a target of the nationalists’ scorn. He paid a high price to preserve his moral integrity, losing his nation, political party, city, and home. Three decades later, Markovina and his wife live in voluntary exile on a Mediterranean island, but his decisions still strain his relationship with his sons. Through their meetings, WE SHALL LIVE TOGETHER explores the legacy of war and family division, as well as what is required to be able to move on with life.

Damir Markovina graduated with an MA in film and television directing for documentary film from the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, after obtaining a degree in acting from the same academy. His short documentary THE SHIFT was presented in the Student Competition at the Sarajevo Film Festival in 2019. His mid-length documentary WAIT FOR ME won the AJB DOC Festival Sarajevo 2021 Main Award, was named Best Student Documentary at the Pula Film Festival, and took the Oktavijan Croatian national FIPRESCI Prize for Best National Short Documentary. DESERTERS, his second midlength documentary, won the Best Central and East European Film and Best Sound Design Awards at the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival in 2022. WE SHALL LIVE TOGETHER is his first feature-length documentary.

Yugo ide u Ameriku / Yugo Goes to America Četvoro milenijalaca rođenih devedesetih godina u SR Jugoslaviji kreće na putovanje Amerikom u Yugu – starom jugoslovenskom automobilu koji je svojevremeno proglašen “najgorim u historiji SADa“. Putujući kroz 24 savezne države, od New Yorka do Los Angelesa, oni traže odgovor na pitanje: šta zapravo znači biti najgori? Tokom putovanja upoznaju ljude koji su radili na uvozu Yuga osamdesetih godina, današnje “jugofanatike“, Amerikance i emigrante iz država bivše Jugoslavije. Kroz ove susrete, oni se suočavaju i s vlastitom historijom koja je neraskidivo povezana s ovim kultnim automobilom. Filip Grujić je nagrađivani pisac, dramaturg i reditelj, autor tri zapažena romana i dobitnik brojnih priznanja za dramsko stvaralaštvo, uključujući Sterijinu i Mihizovu nagradu.

Režirao je kratki film ČEKAJ ME OVDE, koji je premijerno prikazan na Sarajevo Film Festivalu, dok je kao snimatelj radio na brojnim međunarodnim projektima i umjetničkim produkcijama. E Four millennials, born in the 1990s in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, set off on a road trip across the United States in a Yugo, an old Yugoslav car once labelled “the worst car in the history of the USA.” Traveling through twenty-four states from New York City to Los Angeles, they search for an answer to the question: What does it mean to be the worst? Along the way, they meet people who were involved in importing the Yugo in the 1980s, present-day Yugo enthusiasts, Americans, and immigrants from post-Yugoslav countries. They also come face to face with their own personal history and the ways it is inseparable from the Yugo.

Filip Grujić is an award-winning writer and director, the author of three acclaimed novels, and the recipient of numerous awards for dramatic writing, including the Sterija Award and the Mihiz Award. Aleksa Borković is a director and cinematographer.

Iako je danas hrvatska privreda nezamisliva bez stranih radnika, i dalje svakodnevno svjedočimo brutalnim napadima na ljude samo zbog njihove rase, boje kože, vjere ili etničke pripadnosti. Kroz priču o Ramu, nepalskom dostavljaču hrane u Zagrebu, otkrivamo nehumane životne i radne uvjete s kojima se suočavaju radnici migranti. Branko Schmidt jedan je od najistaknutijih hrvatskih filmskih reditelja. Tokom karijere režirao je niz nagrađivanih igranih i dokumentarnih filmova, koji su osvojili brojne nagrade, uključujući Veliku Zlatnu arenu za METASTAZE na Pulskom filmskom festivalu te pet Zlatnih arena za LJUDOŽDERA VEGETARIJANCA. E While the success of the Croatian economy is highly dependent on immigrant workers, brutal attacks on people because of their race, religion, ethnicity, or the colour of their skin are still a regular occurrence in the country. By telling the story of Ram, a Nepalese delivery worker in Zagreb, BRO RAM lifts the curtain on inhumane living and working conditions faced by immigrant workers. Branko Schmidt is among the most notable of Croatian filmmakers. Schmidt has directed many narrative and documentary films which have won numerous awards, including the Pula Film Festival’s Grand Golden Arena for METASTASES and five Golden Arenas for CANNIBAL VEGETARIAN.

FILMOGRAFIJA / FILMOGRAPHY: 2026 – TIHA MISA / HOLY DEFIANCE (kratki dokumentarni film / short doc.) 2024 – I TAKO JOŠ JEDNA / AND YET ANOTHER (kratki dokumentarni film / short doc.)

Svake prve subote u mjesecu na glavnim trgovima hrvatskih gradova stotine muškaraca kleče i zajedno se mole. U svojim molitvama zagovaraju retradicionalizaciju, patrijarhat i ograničavanje ženskih sloboda. Multimedijalna umjetnica Arijana Lekić Fridrih svake prve subote putuje u drugi grad i za vrijeme molitve izvodi feministički performans “Tiha misa”. Molitelji na razne načine pokušavaju spriječiti njene performanse. Karla Jelić jedna je od predvodnica #MeToo pokreta u Hrvatskoj. Nakon studija novinarstva završila je studij dokumentarne režije na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Njen diplomski film I TAKO JOŠ JEDNA imao je svjetsku premijeru na ZagrebDoxu 2024. godine. Kratki dokumentarni film TIHA MISA imao je premijeru na 33. Sheffield DocFestu. E On the first Saturday of every month, on the main squares of Croatian

cities, hundreds of men kneel and pray together. In their prayers, they advocate for re-traditionalization, patriarchy, and the restriction of women’s freedoms. Multimedia artist Arijana Lekić Fridrih travels to a different city on each first Saturday and, during the prayer, performs her feminist piece, “Silent Mass.” The prayer participants have tried in various ways to prevent her performances. Karla Jelić is one of the leading figures of the #MeToo movement in Croatia. After studying journalism, she studied documentary directing at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. Her graduation film, AND YET ANOTHER, had its premiere at ZagrebDox in 2024. The short documentary HOLY DEFIANCE premiered at Sheffield DocFest in 2026.

Glasovi dvaju naratora vode nas u središte mita dok na ekranu pratimo žene koje nose upaljene svjetiljke. O DUHOVIMA SVJETLOSTI je film o ovoj procesiji, ali prije svega o samom svjetlu i njegovom nestanku. Isabella Fellinger obrazovala se u području pozorišta, filma i medija u Beču i Parizu. Po završetku Škole nezavisnog filma Friedl Kubelka 2023. godine, posvećuje se produkciji vlastitih filmskih projekata. E Two off-screen voices guide us into the heart of a myth as we follow women wearing illuminated lanterns. OF LIGHT GHOSTS is a film about this, but above all about light itself, its history, and its disappearance. Isabella Fellinger studied theatre, film, and media in Vienna and Paris. In 2023, she completed studies at the Friedl Kubelka School for independent film and has since been producing her own film projects.

Deset veličanstvenih / The Magnificent Ten Takmičarski program – kratki igrani film ove godine donosi raznovrstan program – deset kratkih filmova odabranih među 700 pogledanih naslova. Program čine tri animirana filma i sedam igranih kratkih filmova.

E This year’s Competition Programme – Narrative Shorts once again offers a diverse selection of ten short films chosen from among seven hundred submissions. The selection includes three animated and seven fiction films.

Među animiranim filmovima su slovenski film KOSMONAUTI, koji je svoju svjetsku premijeru imao na ovogodišnjem Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu, kao i rumunski film MAJČINSTVO rediteljice Ance Damian te ADGWA-ATA Zsuysane Krief iz Mađarske, oba ranije prikazana na najvećem festivalu animiranog filma u Annecyju. Osim ova tri animirana filma, regionalne premijere imat će i film o nasilju NIKO NIŠTA NIJE REKAO, jedini kratki film iz regije prikazan u Glavnoj selekciji za kratki film na ovogodišnjem Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Na istom festivalu, u programu Sedmica kritike, prikazan je i rumunski film IZAĐI I ZAGRLI DRVO rediteljice Irine Alexiu, koji na lijep i ironičan način donosi priču o umjetničkom postupku.

Animated films include the Slovenian COSMONAUTS, which had its world premiere at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, as well as MOTHERHOOD by Ance Damian from Romania and ADGWA-ATA by Zsuysana Krief from Hungary, the latter two of which were screened at the world’s largest festival of animated film, the Annecy. Alongside these three works, NOBODY SAID ANYTHING – a short about violence and the only film from our region that screened in the competition programme at the Festival de Cannes this year – has its regional premiere in Sarajevo. GO OUTSIDE AND HUG A TREE, by Romanian director Irina Alexiu, a film that muses on the art-making process in a beautiful and ironic way, was also screened in Cannes this year, in La Semaine de la Critique.

Svjetske premijere u okviru Takmičarskog programa imat će čak pet kratkih igranih filmova. Tu je izuzetno emotivan film o odnosu majke i kćeri ZAKRPA reditelja Luke Galešića iz Hrvatske. Gruzijski film SKRIVENI U KADRU rediteljice Ane Saruhanove kroz izuzetnu atmosferu prikazuje odnos dviju sestara uslijed aktuelnih protesta u Gruziji. Turski film PORKATAL rediteljice Sis Gürdal donosi snažnu priču ispričanu kroz perspektivu dječaka čije odrastanje je sve osim konvencionalno. Mađarski film JARAK Marianne Vas ističe se izuzetnom fotografijom i snažnim odnosima među likovima, također kroz dječiju perspektivu, s fokusom na odnos između dviju sestara. S velikim zadovoljstvom predstavljamo i kratki film iz Bosne i Hercegovine MAMAMA poznate i uspješne umjetnice Danice Dakić, koja fokus filma stavlja na treću životnu dob i usamljenost.

Five fiction films have their premieres in the programme. PATCH, by Croatian director Luka Galešić, is a deeply emotional film about a motherdaughter relationship. HIDDEN IN FRAME, by Anna Sarukhanova, creates an exceptional atmosphere to examine the relationship of two sisters amid the ongoing protests in Georgia, while PORTAKAL, by Turkish director Sis Gürdal, is an impactful tale told from the perspective of a boy whose childhood is anything but conventional. The Hungarian film DITCH, by Marianne Vas, stands out for its exceptional cinematography and the strong relationship between its characters. Its story too is told from the perspective of a child and focuses on the bond between two sisters. It is with immense pleasure that we present a short film from Bosnia and Herzegovina: MAMAMA, a work directed by the well-known and accomplished artist Danica Dakić that explores old age and loneliness.

Kao i u slučaju Takmičarskog programa – dugometražni igrani film, i ovu selekciju predvode rediteljice sa sedam filmova u selekciji. Sam program odlikuje se hrabrim, no intimnim pričama i snažnim vizuelnim stilom svih odabranih filmova. Ovogodišnja selekcija također potvrđuje da kratki film ostaje prostor u kojem nastaju neki od najhrabrijih i najinventivnijih filmskih izraza današnjice. Kroz različite poetike i autorske senzibilitete, filmovi u programu istražuju intimne i društvene teme, pokazujući kako kratka forma može biti jednako emocionalno snažna i umjetnički ambiciozna kao i dugometražna. Program donosi uzbudljiv susret afirmiranih autora i novih talenata čiji će se glasovi nesumnjivo nastaviti razvijati i na međunarodnoj filmskoj sceni.

As is the case with the Competition Programme – Narrative Feature, this year’s short film competition programme is dominated by female directors, with seven of its ten titles directed by women. The programme itself is characterised by brave and intimate stories and the strong visual styles of the featured filmmakers. This year’s selection also confirms that the short film format continues to open a pathway for some of the bravest and most inventive filmmakers of our time. Through their varying poetic and authorial sensibilities, these films explore personal and social issues and demonstrate that short works can be as emotionally powerful and artistically ambitious as their feature-length cousins. The programme fosters an exciting encounter between established auteurs and emerging filmmakers whose talents will doubtlessly continue to develop on the international stage.

Otete i prisiljene da učestvuju u brutalnom ritualu inicijacije jednog plemena u džungli, tri adolescentice prelaze u božansku dimenziju.

Zsuzsanna Kreif, a freelance animation filmmaker based in Budapest, graduated from MOME. LIMBO-LIMBO TRAVEL, her first film (co-directed with Bori Zétényi), was selected for more than one hundred festivals and received a dozen awards, including the Academy Award-qualifying Silver Dragon from the Kraków Film Festival.

FILMOGRAFIJA / FILMOGRAPHY: 2026 – GO OUTSIDE AND HUG A TREE (kratki film / short film) 2024 – SO REFRESHING (kratki film / short film)

Kada muzičarka u usponu na izrazito kompetitivnoj indie sceni izgubi inspiraciju, ona kreće na jezivo, grozničavo putovanje koje je suočava s bizarnim pitanjem da li je spremna podnijeti žrtvu kako bi povratila kreativnost. Irina Alexiu je rumunsko-britanska rediteljica čiji su radovi prikazani na platformama kao što su NOWNESS, Director’s Library, Dazed i Guardian. Nakon osam godina provedenih u Londonu, gdje je studirala filmsku režiju na Univerzitetu Goldsmiths, vratila se kući kako bi snimala filmove do kojih joj je stalo – pomalo nadrealne dramedije. E When a rising musician loses her inspiration in a hyper-competitive

indie scene, she embarks on an eerie, fever-dream quest that leads her to a bizarre dilemma: reclaiming her creativity by performing a sacrifice. Irina Alexiu is a Romanian-British director whose work has appeared on NOWNESS, Directors’ Library, Dazed, and The Guardian. After eight years living in London, where she studied film directing at Goldsmiths, University of London, she returned to Romania to make films she cares about, blending drama and comedy with a surreal edge.

Od djetinjstva nam se nameću pravila, govori nam se kako se trebamo ponašati i “kako živjeti”, pa ipak nikada nismo potpuno spremni preuzeti teret “bivanja”. Ovaj film obrađuje tu temu kroz prizmu majčinstva. Anca Damian se bavi klasičnom, igranom i VR animacijom. Njeni filmovi premijerno su prikazani na vodećim međunarodnim smotrama filma, te su dobili brojne nagrade, uključujući nagradu Kristal na Filmskom festivalu u Annecyju, nagradu Eurimages Audentia, te nominaciju za nagradu Evropske filmske akademije.

Katarininu svakodnevnicu prekida poziv zbog kojeg se mora suočiti s posljedicama naizgled bezazlene igre u kojoj je učestvovala njezina kćerka. Tamara Todorović je diplomirala režiju na Fakultetu dramskih umjetnosti u Beogradu.

Uvod / Introduction

Asja Krsmanović

Neki filmski programi tragaju za najboljim filmovima već etabliranih filmskih autora, filmovima s jakim autorskim pečatima, zanatski izbrušenim, tematski jasnim, u pristupu hrabrim i autentičnim. A postoje i oni programi u kojima se takvi autori rađaju. Takmičarski program – Studentski kratki film već deset godina pripada upravo ovoj drugoj kategoriji. Kao najmlađi takmičarski program Sarajevo Film Festivala, nastao je iz uvjerenja da prvi filmovi nisu tek uvod u nečiju karijeru, nego mjesto na kojem se po prvi put čuju novi autorski glasovi, još uvijek neopterećeni očekivanjima, slobodni da eksperimentišu, preispituju i traže vlastiti jezik. Studentski film je upravo zbog toga poseban. U njemu forma još uvijek nije prerasla u manir, a tretman teme nije proizvod kompromisa s očekivanjima okoline, niti trendovima industrije. To je prostor u kojem autori i autorice rizikuju, ispituju granice medija i pokušavaju iskreno razumjeti svijet oko sebe jednako koliko pokušavaju razumjeti sebe. Upravo zato ovaj program iz godine u godinu donosi neka od formalno najodvažnijih i tematski najiskrenijih ostvarenja Festivala. Deset godina kasnije jasno je da je ovaj program u ekosistemu Sarajevo Film Festivala postao mnogo više od mjesta na kojem se prikazuju studentski radovi te je postao početna tačka mnogih autorskih puteva. Brojni reditelji i rediteljice, koji su svoje prve filmove predstavili u ovom programu, danas se na Sarajevo Film Festival vraćaju kao učesnici Talents Sarajevo, razvijaju projekte kroz CineLink Industry Days ili predstavljaju dugometražne filmove u drugim festivalskim selekcijama. Program tako ne govori samo o sadašnjosti studentskog filma, nego i o budućnosti regionalne i evropske kinematografije. Ovogodišnja selekcija okuplja jedanaest filmova: šest svjetskih, jednu međunarodnu i četiri regionalne premijere. Tri filma dolaze iz Mađarske, Srbije, Austrije, i po jedan iz Rumunije i Bosne i Hercegovine. Ono što ih

74 32. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – STUDENTSKI KRATKI FILM

povezuje nije zajednička estetika niti jedinstven pogled na svijet, nego spremnost da složena pitanja današnjice oblikuju kroz precizne, lične i autentične filmske priče. Neki od ovih filmova svoj festivalski put počeli su u selekcijama poput La Cinef Filmskog festival u Cannesu Kanskog ili na Međunarodnom festivalu animiranog filma u Annecyju, dok će neki od njih u Sarajevu stati pred publiku prvi put. Ovogodišnja selekcija okuplja filmove nastale u vrlo različitim produkcijskim okolnostima. Neki dolaze s akademija koje raspolažu značajnim resursima i razvijenom produkcijskom infrastrukturom dok drugi nastaju u sredinama u kojima se filmsko obrazovanje svakodnevno bori za vlastiti opstanak. Uprkos toj nejednakosti, ovi filmovi stoje jedni uz druge potpuno ravnopravno. Njihova vrijednost ne proizlazi iz produkcijskih mogućnosti, nego iz autorske potrebe da odgovore na svijet koji ih okružuje. Upravo u toj potrebi, često snažnijoj od raspoloživih sredstava, leži jedna od najvećih snaga studentskog filma. Posebno je zanimljivo što ovogodišnjom selekcijom dominiraju snažni i višeslojni ženski likovi. Kroz njihove priče autori i autorice otvaraju teme karakteristične za žensko iskustvo, od rodno zasnovanog nasilja, odrastanja i menopauze i odnosa prema tijelu i probijanja granica patrijarhalnog viđenja svijeta. Umjesto da nude odgovore, ovi filmovi biraju prostor nijansi, kontradikcija i intimnih iskustava iz kojih progovaraju o mnogo širim društvenim odnosima. Istovremeno, filmovi u selekciji propituju snažno odgovornost pojedinca, odnos prema porodici, zajednici i državi, potrebu za pripadanjem i cijenu odrastanja u svijetu koji se ubrzano mijenja. U tim pričama lično i političko neprestano oblikuju jedno drugo. Različiti po formi i poetici, od animacije i lažnog dokumentarca do intimnih psiholoških drama i društvene satire, filmovi ovogodišnje selekcije dijele vjeru u film kao prostor istraživanja. Mnogi od njih pokazuju autorsku ambiciju koja već nadilazi studentski

format, nagovještavajući buduće dugometražne karijere svojih autora. Možda je upravo u tome najveća vrijednost ovog programa. On nas podsjeća da budućnost filma ne nastaje iznenada, nego u prvim pokušajima, u hrabrosti da se postavi pitanje, pronađe vlastiti izraz i ispriča priča koja još ne liči ni na jednu drugu. Svake godine publika ovog programa dobija rijetku priliku da bude među prvima koja će upoznati autore i autorice čija će imena tek postati dio filmske historije. U tome i jeste trajna privilegija gledanja studentskog filma.

E Some film programmes provide the setting for the best films of well-established auteurs, films with an obvious signature style, skillfully executed, thematically clear, brave in their approach to topic, authentic. Then there are programmes that provide the environment where such filmmakers are heralded. For a decade, the Competition Programme – Short Student Film belongs to this latter category. As the youngest of the Sarajevo Film Festival’s competition programmes, the section was established with the conviction that debut films are not just an introduction to their filmmakers’ careers but also a place where auteurs speak in their voice for the first time while they remain unburdened by expectations, free to experiment, question, and search for their authentic expression.

Student films are special because their makers have not yet established their signature film form, because film students approach the themes they explore without compromising due to public expectations and industry trends. Students take risks, they push the limits of the film medium and are equally and honestly striving to understand the world around them — and themselves. This is why, year after year, this programme includes films that are among the festival’s bravest in terms of cinematic form and most honest in terms of themes.

A decade after it was inaugurated, the programme has established itself within the ecosystem of the Sarajevo Film Festival as much more than just a showcase of student film. It is, in fact, the starting point of many filmmakers’ careers. Numerous directors who presented their debut films in this programme return to the Sarajevo Film Festival as Talents Sarajevo participants, develop their projects under the auspices of CineLink Industry Days, or present their subsequent films in other festival sections. This section thus offers insight into the current state of student film production as well as into the future of regional and European film more broadly. This year’s selection includes eleven films, of which six have their world premierss, one its international premier, and four their regional premieres. Hungary, Serbia, and Austria send three films each, while Romania and Bosnia and Herzegovina have one film each in the line-up. These films are not linked by a shared aesthetic or worldview, but rather by the readiness of their directors to explore complex contemporary issues through precise, personal, and authentic stories. Some of these films embarked on their journey through film festivals – the La Cinef section at the Festival de Cannes, for example, or the Annecy Inernational Animation Film Festival – while others have their first meetings with audiences in Sarajevo. This year’s selection gathers films produced under widely different circumstances: some were produced at wellresourced film schools with advanced production infrastructure; others came into existence in environments where film education struggles to survive. Despite this lack of balance, the selected films stand shoulder to shoulder, equal in every way. Their value is not determined by production capacity but by the need of their makers to respond to the world that surrounds them. It is that need, often greater that available production capacities, that is the greatest source of strength for filmmaking students.

It is particularly interesting that our selection this year is dominated by films that feature strong, complex female protagonists. Through their stories, these filmmakers explore specifically female experiences, including those of gender-based violence, coming of age, and menopause, the personal relationship with the body, and breaking through the barriers imposed by the patronormative world. Instead of offering answers, these films explore nuances, contradictions, and intimate experiences to address broader social relations. At the same time, these films offer a strong interrogation of matters of personal responsibility, a person’s relationship to their own family, community and nation, the need to belong, and the cost of growing up in a fast-changing world. In these films, the personal and the political constantly impact and shape one another. Across a wide range of film of different form and poetics – from animated films and mockumentaries to intimate psychological dramas and social satires – the selection strengthens faith in cinema as a space for exploration. Many of the filmmakers represented in the programme display ambition that outsizes the student film format, hinting at future careers in featurelength filmmaking. The greatest value of ghd programme might be that it reminds us that the future of cinema is not a sudden occurrence, but that it is born of first attempts and the courage to ask questions, to find one’s own voice, and to tell stories that are unlike any others. Every year, the audience of this programme has a rare opportunity to be among the first to meet filmmakers whose names are yet to become a part of the history of cinema. That is the lasting privilege enjoyed by those who watch student films.

Kada Verin dom iznenada izgori, njen jedini cilj u životu postaje da pronađe mačku koja je vjerovatno izgubljena u požaru. Pretraživanje ruševina i putovanje kroz noć prisiljavaju Veru da se suoči ne samo s gubitkom već i sa zagušujućom ovisnošću o roditeljskim figurama koja je karakterizirala njen dotadašnji život. Bianka Szelestey je diplomirala na Odsjeku za studij filma Univerziteta Eötvös Loránd. Njen diplomski film CRAZE iz 2022. godine prikazan je u programu 75. izdanja Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. E When Vera’s home suddenly burns down, her only purpose becomes to find her cat — likely lost in the fire. The search through the ruins and Vera’s journey through the night forces her to confront not only loss but also the suffocating dependence on parent figures that has defined her life so far. Bianka Szelestey obained her BA and MA degrees at the Eötvös Loránd University, Department of Film Studies.

Na odmoru sa Samom, Phoebe se isprva ponaša kao posmatračica, a zatim kao ometačica. Mješavina vrućine, letargije i prestupništva pobuđuje nešto u njoj – neki animalistički impuls koji je nemoguće sputati. Fanny Rösch je studirala produkciju i medijski biznis na Univerzitetu za televiziju i film u Münchenu. Prije nego što se usredsredila na vlastite scenarističke i rediteljske projekte, radila je kao producentica. Od 2023. godine studira filmsku režiju na Filmskoj akademiji u Beču. Njeni recentni kratkometražni filmovi IDILA i O MENI prikazani su na festivalima diljem svijeta. E On vacation with Sam, Phoebe is first an observer – then a disruptor. Amid the heat, lethargy, and transgression, something emerges within her. Something animalistic that can no longer be restrained. Fanny Rösch studied production and media business at the University of Television and Film Munich, working as a producer before increasingly focusing on her own work as a writer and director. Since 2023, she has been studying directing for film at the Film Academy Vienna. Her recent short films IDYLL and ABOUT ME have been screened at festivals worldwide.

78 32. Sarajevo Film Festival l TAKMIČARSKI PROGRAM – STUDENTSKI KRATKI FILM

FILMOGRAFIJA / FILMOGRAPHY: 2026 – KOMŠIJA / Neighbour (kratki film / short film) 2025 – EHO / ECHO (kratki dokumentarni film / short doc.) 2024 – AVGUST / AUGUST (kratki film / short film) 2024 – BATROVCI (kratki dokumentarni film / short doc.)

Dok val studentskih protesta produbljuje ideološke podjele u Beogradu, policajac u toku fizičkog obračuna prepoznaje mladića kojem zadaje udarce. Taj susret ga počinje progoniti, a novonastala opsesija prisiljava ga da se suoči s tankom granicom između profesionalnih principa i ličnih uvjerenja. Dan Grabnar, rođen u Sloveniji, studije je nastavio na Fakultetu dramskih umetnosti u Beogradu. Njegov studentski kratkometražni dokumentarni film BATROVCI premijerno je prikazan na Festivalu kratkometražnog dokumentarnog filma “Bistre reke”. Naredno dokumentarno ostvarenje EHO osvojilo je Specijalno priznanje na Filmskom festivalu In The Palace u Bugarskoj. Kratkometražnim igranim filmom AVGUST osvojio je Nagradu publike na Filmskom festivalu Tabor New Frame u Hrvatskoj, kao i Nagradu za najbolji scenarij na bugarskom festivalu Early Bird. E As student protests sweep through a deeply divided Belgrade, a police officer recognises the young man he is beating during a violent clash. The encounter haunts him, growing into an obsession that forces him to confront the fragile line between professional duty and personal conviction. Dan Grabnar, born in Slovenia, continued his academic journey at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade.

Uvod / Introduction Program U fokusu tradicionalno predstavlja neka od najboljih ostvarenja regionalne kinematografije iz prethodne godine. Ovogodišnja selekcija donosi sedam izuzetnih filmova koji su obilježili festivale u Veneciji, Rotterdamu, Berlinu i Cannesu. Film MAJKA TEREZA, sedmi igrani film Teone S. Mitevske, strastvena je i nekonvencionalna priča o Majci Terezi, s izuzetnom glumačkom interpretacijom Noomi Rapace. Spajajući opernu raskoš s punk-energijom, film provokativno preispituje mit o jednoj od najpoznatijih ličnosti 20. stoljeća. Premijerno je prikazan kao film otvaranja programa Horizonti Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji. Rumunski reditelj Tudor Giurgiu predstavit će šesti igrani film, crnu komediju 3 DANA U SEPTEMBRU, koja je premijerno prikazana na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu. Film, u trajanju od 78 minuta, uključuje ambicioznu neprekinutu kadar-sekvencu od čak 65 minuta. Prati mladu Biancu koja usred vlastitog vjenčanja bježi turističkim vozićem nakon što se na slavlju pojavi ljubavnica njenog zaručnika. Film istražuje emotivni slom i proces ženske emancipacije, oslanjajući se na zajedljivi crni humor karakterističan za rumunski novi val. Treći igrani film Markusa Schleinzera ROSE upečatljiva je i precizno oblikovana historijska drama. Sandra Hüller tumači ženu iz 17. stoljeća koja, predstavljajući se kao muški ratni veteran, pokušava preživjeti u surovom društvu svog vremena. Film je premijerno prikazan u zvaničnoj selekciji Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. Izgrađen je na suzdržanom i promišljenom narativu koji ostavlja prostor za višeznačnost. Roseine pragmatične odluke, vođene instinktom za preživljavanje, razotkrivaju način na koji društvo kontrolira rodne uloge i kažnjava nepripadanje normama. NAJUSAMLJENIJI ČOVJEK U GRADU, dokufikcija autorskog dvojca Tizze Covi i Rainera Frimmela, prati austrijskog blues-muzičara Ala Cooka

84 32. Sarajevo Film Festival l U FOKUSU

(rođenog kao Alois Koch), posljednjeg stanara zgrade u Beču predviđene za rušenje, koji razmišlja o putovanju u Ameriku. Obilježen suptilnim humorom, tihom melanholijom i sporim ritmom, film priziva stoicizam i toplu humanost filmova finskog autora Akija Kaurismäkija. Premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Berlinalea. Film ŽUTA SLOVA reditelja İlkera Çataka je tursko-njemačka drama nagrađena Zlatnim medvjedom na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. Na vrlo intiman način prati lijevo orijentisan turski par čiji se životi počinju raspadati nakon što su nepravedno postali meta zbog političkog aktivizma kroz svoju umjetnost. ŠKOLA ZA SIRENE, dugometražni prvenac Konstantine Kotzamani, vizuelno je očaravajuća fantastična priča o odrastanju. Smještena je u japanski internat u kojem se djevojke obučavaju da postanu profesionalne sirene. Okupan neonskim bojama i snolikom atmosferom, film istražuje teme ženskog identiteta, transformacije i sazrijevanja kroz izuzetno sugestivan vizuelni izraz. Premijerno je prikazan u programu Izvjestan pogled Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. OBEĆANI PROSTORI, hibridni igrano-dokumentarni prvenac Ivana Markovića, vizuelno je impresivna i meditativna kritika urbane špekulacije i klasne segregacije u savremenoj Kambodži. Film je oblikovan u poetici sporog filma (slow cinema), oslanjajući se na statične, duge kadrove i sugestivan zvučni dizajn umjesto dijaloga kako bi ispričao svoju priču. Premijerno je prikazan u programu ACID Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Ovogodišnju selekciju programa U fokusu čine dva debitantska filma i pet filmova zrelijih autora, s naglaskom na snažan, autorski film o važnim temama i ličnostima.

E It is a tradition that the In Focus programme presents a selection of the most notable films produced in our region over the last twelve months. This year, the line-up includes seven distinctive films that each left their mark at film festivals in Venice, Rotterdam, Berlin, and Cannes.

Teona S. Mitevska’s seventh feature, MOTHER, is a passionate, unconventional story about Mother Teresa, played here by a compelling Noomi Rapace. Combining operatic extravagance with punk energy, the film offers a provocative reconsideration of the myth of one of the most famous figures of the twentieth century. It had its premiere as the opening film of the Orizzonti sidebar at the Venice Film Festival. Romanian director Tudor Giuriu presents his sixth feature, the black comedy 3 DAYS OF SEPTEMBER, which premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. A seventyeight-minute film built around an ambitious sixty-five-minute single take, it follows the story of Bianca, a bride-to-be who flees her own wedding on a tourist train after the bridegroom’s mistress crashes the nuptial festivities. A study of emotional breakdown and the process of female emancipation, the film relies heavily on the black humour that is characteristic of the Romanian New Wave . Markus Schleinzer’s third feature, ROSE, which had its premiere in the competition at the Berlin International Film Festival, is a captivating, carefully structured historic drama featuring Sandra Hüller as a seventeenthcentury woman and a war veteran passing herself off as a man in order to survive in the cruel society of the time. Its constrained and considered narrative creates room for ambiguity as Rose’s pragmatic decisions, guided as they are by the survival instinct, reveal how the society establishes gender roles and punishes transgressions of accepted norms. THE LONELIEST MAN IN TOWN, by directors Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel, follows Austrian blues musician Al Cook (born Alois Koch), the lone remaining resident of a

Vienna apartment building set for demolition, who contemplates travelling to the United States. With its subtle humour, quiet melancholy, and slow pace, the film — which premiered in the Competition programme at the Berlinale — recalls the stoicism and warm humanity of the works by Finnish auteur Aki Kaurismäki. YELLOW LETTERS, the Golden Bear-winning drama by German-Turkish director İlker Çatak, tells the deeply intimate story of a left-leaning Turkish couple whose lives starts to unravel after they become targets of political persecution due to the activist nature of their art. Konstantina Kotzamani’s debut feature film, TITANIC OCEAN is a visually enchanting coming-of-age fantasy set in a Japanese boarding school where girls are trained to become professional mermaids. In a neon-drenched aesthetic and dreamlike atmosphere, the film explores themes of female identity, transformation, and maturing. The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the Festival de Cannes. Ivan Marković’s first hybrid documentary-fiction film, PROMISED SPACES, is a visually striking and contemplative examination of urban speculation and class divisions in contemporary Cambodia. Exemplifying the poetics of the slow cinema movement, the film utilises static, long takes and replaces dialogue with ambient soundscape to tell its story. The film had its premiere in the ACID section at Cannes. Comprising two debut features and five titles by established filmmakers, the 2026 selection of the In Focus programme centres on strong auteur films that examine important topics and engaging personalities.

3 zile în septembrie / 3 dana u septembru / 3 Days in September Na dan Biancinog vjenčanja, usred finalnih priprema prije ceremonije, pojavljuje se ljubavnica njenog zaručnika i svima obznanjuje njihovu vezu. Bianca doživljava šok i s vjenčanja bježi turističkim vozom kroz napušteno ljetovalište, započinjući cjelonoćnu odiseju nadrealnih susreta i haotičnih situacija. Odlučna da odbaci dotadašnji život, svoje poniženje pretvara u oslobađajući bunt. Tudor Giurgiu je osnivač i predsjednik Transilvanijskog međunarodnog filmskog festivala, najprestižnijeg filmskog događaja u Rumuniji. Njegov debitantski igrani film LJUBAVNI JADI prikazan je u programu Panorama na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2006. godine. Za kratkometražni film SUPERMAN, SPIDERMAN ILI BATMAN osvojio je Nagradu za najbolji evropski kratkometražni film Evropske filmske akademije 2012. godine. Njegov naredni igrani film O PUŽEVIMA I LJUDIMA osvojio je nagrade na međunarodnim filmskim festivalima u Varšavi i Valladolidu, a film ZAŠTO JA? također je premijerno prikazan u programu Panorama u Berlinu 2015. godine. 3 DANA U SEPTEMBRU, njegov najnoviji film, premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu. E On Bianca’s wedding day, in the midst of the final preparations, her fiancé’s mistress crashes the nuptials. Bianca is shocked and flees on a tourist train, launching a real-time odyssey of chaotic escape and surreal encounters through the seaside resort in the off season. Rejecting her old life, she transforms her humiliation into a liberating night of rebellion.

Tudor Giurgiu is the founder and president of the Transilvania International Film Festival, the most prestigious film-related event in Romania. LOVE SICK, his feature-length directorial debut, was selected for the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2006. His short SUPERMAN, SPIDERMAN OR BATMAN was named Best European Short at the 2012 edition of the European Film Academy Awards. Giurgiu’s second feature, OF SNAILS AND MEN, won awards at the Warsaw and Valladolid International Film Festivals. WHY ME? had its premiere in the Panorama section of the Berlinale in 2015. 3 DAYS IN SEPTEMBER, his most recent feature, had its premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

Gelbe Briefe / Žuta slova / Yellow Letters Aziz, profesor na Univerzitetu u Ankari, prima pismo kojim ga, bez iznošenja razloga, obavještavaju o otkazu. Kada isto pismo primi i njegova supruga Derya, slavna glumica u narodnom pozorištu, to postaje konačan udarac za ovaj par. Odbačeni zbog svojih stavova, prisiljeni su potražiti sklonište u Istanbulu kod Azizove majke. Balansiranje između iznenadnog siromaštva i političkih uvjerenja stavit će njihov brak na veliku kušnju. İlker Çatak je odrastao u Berlinu i Istanbulu, a prije studija filma četiri godine je radio na njemačkim i međunarodnim filmskim projektima. Režirao je više od desetak kratkometražnih filmova. Njegov četvrti dugometražni igrani film ZBORNICA premijerno je prikazan u programu Panorama Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu 2023. te je bio njemački kandidat za Oscara 2024. godine u kategoriji najboljeg međunarodnog igranog filma. Njegovi filmovi su osvojili brojna priznanja, a najnovije ostvarenje ŽUTA SLOVA nagrađeno je Zlatnim medvjedom na 76. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. E Aziz, a professor at Ankara University, receives a “yellow letter” arbitrarily informing him of his dismissal. When his wife Derya, a famous actor at the national theatre, receives one too, it is the final blow for the couple. Condemned for their ideas, they are forced to seek refuge in Istanbul with Aziz’s mother. The compromise between this new precariousness and their political commitment will put their marriage to the test.

İlker Çatak grew up in Berlin and Istanbul and worked for four years on German and international productions before studying film. He has directed more than a dozen shorts. His fourth featurelength film, THE TEACHERS’ LOUNGE, had its premiere in the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2023 and was nominated for the 2024 Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.

Majka / Majka Tereza / Mother Kalkuta, Indija, august 1948. Tereza, nadstojnica samostana Sestara od Loreta, nestrpljivo iščekuje pismo koje će joj konačno omogućiti da napusti samostan i osnuje novu kongregaciju i tako odgovori na poziv koji je dobila od Boga. Baš kada se čini da je sve spremno, ona se na životnoj prekretnici suočava s dilemom zbog koje je prisiljena preispitati vlastite ambicije i vjeru. Teona Strugar Mitevska je filmska autorica porijeklom iz Makedonije. Karijeru je započela kao dječija glumica, obrazovala se za slikarku i grafičku dizajnerku, a studij filma je završila na Umjetničkoj školi Tisch pri Univerzitetu u New Yorku. Kao rediteljica je debitirala 2001. godine kratkim filmom VETA, s kojim je osvojila Specijalnu nagradu žirija na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. Njen prvi dugometražni film KAKO SAM UBIO SVECA premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu 2004. godine.

Njeni filmovi do sada su ovojili više od trideset međunarodnih nagrada među kojima se ističe Nagrada LUX Evropskog parlamenta iz 2019. godine. Ministarstvo kulture Francuske joj je 2018. godine dodijelilo Orden viteza umjetnosti i književnosti. Njen najnoviji film MAJKA TEREZA 2025. godine premijerno je prikazan u programu Horizonti na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji. E Kolkata, India, August 1948. Teresa, Mother Superior of the convent of the Sisters of Loreto, anxiously awaits the letter that will finally allow her to leave her monastery and create a new order in response to the call she has received from God. Then, just as everything seems ready, she finds herself faced with a dilemma that challenges her own ambitions and faith at a major turning point in her life.

Teona Strugar Mitevska is a Macedonian-born filmmaker. She started as a child actor, trained as a painter and graphic designer, and studied film at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Seda se useljava u svoj dugo očekivani luksuzni stan u jednom od tih istih nebodera. Međutim, kao prva i jedina stanarka velikog, ograđenog stambenog kompleksa, ubrzo se počinje osjećati usamljeno.

Rose Početkom sedamnaestog stoljeća misteriozni vojnik stiže u izolovano protestantsko selo negdje u Njemačkoj. Sitan i po prirodi skroman, lica naružena ožiljkom, vojnik se sumnjičavim seljanima predstavlja kao nasljednik davno napuštenog seoskog imanja i posjeduje dokument koji to potvrđuje. Dokazujući se kao vrijedan, bogobojazan čovjek, vojnik postepeno zadobija povjerenje seljana i postaje dio lokalne zajednice. Međutim, sva njegova nastojanja da bude prihvaćen utemeljena su na velikoj laži. Markus Schleinzer je sedamnaest godina radio kao kasting-direktor i dao značajan doprinos međunarodnom uspjehu austrijske kinematografije, blisko sarađujući s Jessicom Hausner, Ulrichom Seidlom i Michaelom Hanekeom. Radi i kao glumac, te je profesor režije, trenutno na Filmskoj akademiji u Ludwigsburgu. Njegova prva dva dugometražna filma MICHEL i ANGELO imala su premijere i osvojila su nagrade u glavnom takmičarskom programu festivala u Cannesu, Torontu, Londonu, Mumbaiju i na filmskim festivalima u Japanu. Njegov najnoviji film ROSE premijerno je prikazan 2026. godine u glavnom takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu, gdje je Sandri Hüller, koja je u filmu ostvarila glavnu ulogu, donio Srebrenog medvjeda za najbolje glumačko ostvarenje. E Somewhere in Germany in the early seventeenth century, a mysterious soldier arrives in an isolated Protestant village. Slight and modest by nature, his face disfigured by a scar, this stranger declares himself to be the heir of a long-abandoned farmstead and produces a document to support his claim to the suspicious villagers. With the passage of time, he overcomes their doubts and, proving himself to be a hard-working, God-fearing man, becomes a part of their community. However, his quest for acceptance is built on a bold-faced lie.

Markus Schleinzer spent seventeen years as a casting director, shaping the international success of Austrian cinema through close collaborations with Michael Haneke, Jessica Hausner, and Ulrich Seidl. He also works as an actor and teaches directing, currently at the Film Academy in Ludwigsburg. His debut feature films, MICHEL and ANGELO, were selected for and won awards in the main competitions at the Festival de Cannes, the Toronto International Film Festival, the London BFI Film Festival, and the Mumbai International Film Festival. ROSE, his most recent feature, had its premiere in the Competition of the Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance for Sandra Hüller.

The Loneliest Man in Town / Najusamljeniji čovjek u gradu Blues-muzičar Al Cook živi okružen uspomenama. U njegovom stanu i podrumskom studiju vrijeme kao da je stalo, a prostor ispunjavaju knjige, videokasete i gramofonske ploče – jedina preostala zaostavština nekada bogatog života. Svijet izvan tog prostora nastavio je da se kreće bez njega. Međutim, kada nemilosrdna kompanija za promet nekretnina odluči da sa zemljom sravni njegov dom, Al Cook ostaje bez utočišta i prisiljen je da se suoči s ruševinama vlastitog života. Dok se, komad po komad, oprašta od blaga koje je skupio, suočava se i s bolnim pitanjem: kako krenuti dalje kada su uspomene sve što ti je preostalo? Suočen s gubitkom svega, odlučuje se na radikalan novi početak. Tizza Covi je rođena u Bolzanu u Italiji 1971. godine. Rainer Frimmel je rođen u Beču u Austriji 1971. godine. Od 1996. godine sarađuje s Covi na filmskim, pozorišnim i fotografskim projektima. Njihov drugi igrani film BLISTAVOST DANA premijerno je prikazan 2012. godine u međunarodnom takmičarskom programu Filmskog festivala u Locarnu, gdje je nagrađen Srebrenim leopardom za najboljeg glumca. Nekoliko njihovih filmova – uključujući BABUŠKU, LA PIVELLINU i BLISTAVOST DANA – prikazano je na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. U programu Panorama u Berlinu prikazan je i njihov film BILJEŠKE IZ PODZEMNOG SVIJETA te je osvojio Specijalnu nagradu žirija programa dokumentarnog filma. Njihov najnoviji film NAJUSAMLJENIJI MUŠKARAC U GRADU premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu ovogodišnjeg Berlinalea. E Blues musician Al Cook lives surrounded by memories: in his apartment and basement studio, books, videotapes, and vinyl records fill the space, all that remains of a life once fully lived, a place where time seems to stand still. Outside, the world carries on without him. When a ruthless real estate company targets his home for demolition, however, his refuge collapses and he is forced to face the ruins of his existence. As he lets go of the treasures of his life one by one, Al confronts a painful question: How do you move forward when your memories are all you have left? In the face of total loss, he chooses a radical new beginning.

Tizza Covi was born in Bolzano, Italy, in 1971. Rainer Frimmel was born in Vienna in 1971. They have been collaborating since 1996 on film, theatre, and photography projects. In 2012, their second feature-length film, THE SHINE OF DAY, had its premiere in the international competition at the Locarno Film Festival, where it won the Silver Leopard for Best Actor. BABOOSKA, LA PIVELLINA, and THE SHINE OF DAY were all selected for the Berlin International Film Festival, as was NOTES FROM THE UNDERWORLD, which screened in the Panorama section and won a Special Mention from the Berlinale Documentary Award Jury.

Ceniza en la boca / Usta puna pepela / Ashes Lucila i njen mlađi brat napuštaju Meksiko i odlaze u Madrid kako bi se ponovo spojili sa svojom majkom koja je otišla nekoliko godina ranije u potrazi za boljim životom. Nakon što konačno stignu u Madrid, ispostavlja se da je gorka, zagušujuća stvarnost koja ih tamo dočekuje gora nego što je Lucila zamišljala. Pa ipak, ona je odlučna da izvuče maksimum iz svog krhkog, novog života. Diego Luna je filmski, pozorišni i televizijski reditelj, glumac i producent. Kao reditelj je debitirao 2007. godine dokumentarnim filmom J. C. CHÁVEZ koji je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Tribeci.

E Lucila and her younger brother leave Mexico and head to Madrid to reunite with their mother, who left a few years earlier to chase a better future.

El ser querido / Oni koje volimo / The Beloved Proslavljeni filmski redatelj Esteban Martínez stekao je status legende i zbog svojih filmova i zbog prošlosti obilježene nasiljem i neumjerenošću. Svojoj kćerki Emiliji nudi ulogu u svom novom filmu pod izgovorom da želi potaknuti razvoj njene dosad stagnirajuće glumačke karijere. Zajednički život na filmskom setu potaknut će bliskost koju godinama nisu osjećali, ali će također otvoriti stare, nikad zacijeljene rane. Rodrigo Sorogoyen je rođen 1981. godine u Madridu. Njegov kratki film MAJKA nominiran je za nagradu Oscara Američke filmske akademije 2019. godine. Bio je koscenarist, reditelj i producent filma ZVIJERI, koji je osvojio brojne nagrade, među kojima i nagradu César za najbolji strani film, te nagrade Goya za najbolji film, najbolji originalni scenarij i najbolju režiju. Režirao je seriju NOVE GODINE koja je imala svjetsku premijeru na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji. Njegov najnoviji film ONI KOJE VOLIMO premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskoj konkurenciji ovogodišnjeg Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. E Acclaimed film director Esteban Martínez is a legend, for his films as well as for a past marked by violence and excess. For his new project, he offers his daughter Emilia a role under the pretext of helping with her stalled acting career. Living together on set will foster a closeness father and daughter have not shared for years — but it will also reopen old wounds that have never healed.

Rodrigo Sorogoyen was born in Madrid in 1981. His short film MOTHER was nominated for an Academy Award in 2019. He directed, co-wrote, and produced THE BEASTS, which received numerous accolades, including the César Award for Best Foreign Film, and the Goya Awards for Best Film, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Director. He also directed THE NEW YEARS, a series that had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival. THE BELOVED, his most recent film, had its premiiere in the Official Competition at this year’s Festival de Cannes.

Fatherland / Očevina Film OČEVINA istražuje odnos između književnika i dobitnika Nobelove nagrade Thomasa Manna i njegove kćerke, glumice, spisateljice i vozačice relija Erike. U ljeto 1949. godine, na vrhuncu hladnog rata, otac i kćerka uputili su se na izazovno i emotivno putovanje kroz razorenu Njemačku. U crnom Buicku provezli su se od Frankfurta, koji je tada bio pod američkom dominacijom, do Weimara koji su kontrolisali Sovjeti. Po povratku u Njemačku, nakon šesnaestogodišnjeg izgnanstva u Americi, Thomas Mann se morao suočiti ne samo s podijeljenom domovinom već i sa dubokim razdorima unutar vlastite porodice. Paweł Pawlikowski filmom se počeo baviti nakon studija književnosti i filozofije na Univerzitetu u Oxfordu te je sredinom osamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća počeo raditi u britanskoj televizijskoj industriji. Međunarodni ugled stekao je zahvaljujući nizu nagrađivanih dokumentaraca te igranim filmovima POSLJEDNJE UTOČIŠTE i MOJE LJETO LJUBAVI. Godine 2015. za film IDA dobio je Oscara za najbolji film na stranom jeziku. Dobitnik je Počasnog Srca Sarajeva 2019. godine. S filmom HLADNI RAT osvojio je Nagradu za najboljeg reditelja na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu 2018, te je istu nagradu osvojio i na ovogodišnjem izdanju festivala s filmom OČEVINA. E FATHERLAND centres on the relationship between the Nobel Prize-winning writer Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika, an actor, writer, and rally driver. In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, father and daughter embark on a challenging and emotional road trip in a black Buick that takes them across a Germany in ruins – from US-dominated Frankfurt to Soviet-controlled Weimar. Returning home after sixteen years of exile in the United States, the author has to face not only a divided fatherland, but also deep fracture within his own family.

Paweł Pawlikowski became interested in filmmaking after studying literature and philosophy at the University of Oxford and began working in the UK television industry in the mid-1980s. He received considerable acclaim for a string of award-winning documentaries in the 1990s and for his feature films LAST RESORT and MY SUMMER OF LOVE. His film IDA won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2015, and Pawlikowski won the Best Director prize for his film COLD WAR at the 2018 Festival de Cannes. He won the same award for his latest film, FATHERLAND. He received the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo in 2019.

Ničija zemlja / No Man’s Land Četvrt stoljeća nakon što je prvi put prikazan, film NIČIJA ZEMLJA Danisa Tanovića vraća se na Sarajevo Film Festival. Ova festivalska projekcija bit će prvo prikazivanje digitalno restaurirane verzije filma koji je obilježio historiju domaće i svjetske kinematografije. Festivalska publika prva će imati ekskluzivnu priliku pogledati restauriranu verziju u 4K rezoluciji, koju je tek restaurirao Studiocanal koristeći izvorni 35 mm filmski negativ. Svjetska premijera NIČIJE ZEMLJE održana je 12. maja 2001. godine u Cannesu, gdje je film osvojio nagradu za najbolji scenarij. Već u augustu prikazan je domaćoj publici na Sarajevo Film Festivalu, gdje je osvojio nagradu za najbolji film i Nagradu publike. Bio je to početak iznimnog međunarodnog uspjeha koji je vrhunac dosegnuo 24. marta 2002. godine osvajanjem Oscara® za najbolji film na stranom jeziku. Nastao iz iskustva i stvarnosti našeg podneblja, film je univerzalnom pričom o ratu, apsurdu i ljudskosti osvojio svjetsku kritiku i publiku te Bosni i Hercegovini donio jedno od najvažnijih međunarodnih priznanja u oblasti kulture. Danis Tanović je rođen 1969. godine u Bosni i Hercegovini. Za svoj prvenac NIČIJA ZEMLJA nagrađen je za najbolji scenarij na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu 2001, a 2002. Oskarom za najbolji strani film. NIČIJA ZEMLJA osvojila je preko 50 nagrada na međunarodnim festivalima. Za filmove EPIZODA U ŽIVOTU BERAČA ŽELJEZA i SMRT U SARAJEVU Tanović je nagrađen Srebrenim medvjedom na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2013. i 2016. godine. Trenutno živi u Sarajevu. E A quarter of a century after its original premiere, NO MAN’S LAND, directed by Danis Tanović, returns to the Sarajevo Film Festival. This festival screening will mark the world premiere of the digitally restored version of the film, which has left an indelible mark on both regional and global cinema. Festival audiences will have the exclusive opportunity to be the first to experience the newly restored 4K version, completed by Studiocanal using the original 35mm camera negative. NO MAN’S LAND had its world premiere on 12 May 2001 at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received the award for Best Screenplay. By August of the same year, it was presented to domestic audiences at the Sarajevo Film Festival, winning both the Best Film Award and the Audience Award. This marked the beginning of an exceptional international journey, culminating on 24 March 2002 with the Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film. Emerging from the lived experience and realities of the region, the film’s universal story of war, absurdity, and humanity resonated with critics and audiences worldwide, earning Bosnia and Herzegovina one of its most significant international cultural distinctions.

Danis Tanović was born in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1969. In 2001, he wrote and directed his debut feature, NO MAN’S LAND, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film. He went on to win the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival for both AN EPISODE IN THE LIFE OF AN IRON PICKER and DEATH IN SARAJEVO. In 2014, he received the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo from the Sarajevo Film Festival.

No Good Men / Nema dobrih muškaraca Godina 2021. Afganistan netom prije povratka talibana na vlast. Naru, jedina kamermanka zaposlena u vodećoj televizijskoj kući u Kabulu, bori se za puno starateljstvo nad svojim trogodišnjim sinom nakon što je napustila supruga, serijskog preljubnika. Uvjerena da u njenoj zemlji nema dobrih muškaraca, Naru je iznenađena kada joj Kudret, vodeći novinar kabulske televizije, pruži priliku za napredak u karijeri. Dok obilaze Kabul i izvještavaju o posljednjim danima slobode u gradu, među njima se javljaju iskre, a Naru počinje sumnjati u svoje stavove i pitati se da li je u Afganistanu ipak moguće pronaći dobroga muškarca. Shahrbanoo Sadat je filmska autorica iz Afganistana, nastanjena u Hamburgu. Njen debitantski dugometražni film VUK I OVCA, kao i njen drugi film SIROTIŠTE, prikazani su u programu “15 dana autora“ Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. Ova dva filma, uz njen najrecentniji film NEMA DOBRIH MUŠARACA, dio su planirane serije od pet filmova inspirisanih neobjavljenom biografijom glumice Anwar Hashimi i životom same filmske autorice. Film NEMA DOBRIH MUŠKARACA premijerno je prikazan na otvaranju ovogodišnjeg Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. E Afghanistan, immediately before the return of the Taliban in 2021. Naru, the only camerawoman at Kabul’s main TV station, struggles to keep custody of her three-year-old son after leaving her husband, a serial cheater. Convinced no good men exist in her country, Naru is caught off guard when Qodrat, Kabul TV’s most respected journalist, gives her a career opportunity. As the two criss-cross the city reporting on its last days of freedom, sparks fly and Naru starts to doubt herself: Might there actually be a good man out there?

Shahrbanoo Sadat is Afghani filmmaker based in Hamburg. Her first and second feature films, WOLF AND SHEEP and THE ORPHANAGE, were both screened in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Festival de Cannes. Together with her most recent film, NO GOOD MEN, they form the first three parts of a planned five-film series inspired by actor Anwar Hashimi’s unpublished autobiography as well as the filmmaker’s own life. NO GOOD MEN had its premiere as the opening film of the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival.

3 nedelje posle / 3 nedjelje poslije / 3 Weeks After Sve počinje kao obična školska ekskurzija. Autobus, razred, profesori, usputne šale, mala uzbuđenja i ona poznata privremena sloboda koju putovanje daje djeci. Ali polako osjećamo da u tom malom kolektivu nešto nije u redu. Ispod svakodnevnih pogleda, zadirkivanja i šutnje postoji nešto što niko ne želi da izgovori. Zoza nosi teret smrti najboljeg druga koji je počinio samoubistvo tri sedmice prije ove ekskurzije. Kada pred razredom progovori o njihovoj tišini i onome što su svi prešutjeli, o skretanju pogleda, ali i brutalnom maltretiranju drugara, pažnja se okreće ka njemu. Od tog trenutka, on postaje sljedeća žrtva. Bježi u šumu, zatim u pećinu, gdje ga pronalazi Darija — jedina kojoj još može da vjeruje. Ali i ona ga izdaje. Poslije onoga što mu se dogodi, u Zozi se nešto nepovratno promijeni. Vraća se u zoru. Promijenjen. Miroslav Terzić, rođen u Beogradu 1969. godine, diplomirao je pravo. Njegov debitantski film USTANIČKA ULICA prikazan je na više od četrdeset međunarodnih festivala te je nagrađen u Sarajevu, Cottbusu i Sopotu. Drugi film ŠAVOVI premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu te mu je donio Evropsku filmsku nagradu i priznanja na festivalima u Pekingu, Las Palmasu, Puli i mnogim drugima. Najnoviji film 3 SEDMICE KASNIJE osvojio je HBO nagradu na Sarajevo Film Festivalu (Work in Progress) i imat će premijeru u glavnoj selekciji festivala u Karlovym Varyma 2026. godine. Reditelj je i prve sezone televizijske serije TAJKUN. E It all begins as a typical school trip. A bus, school friends, professors, casual jokes, small excitements, and the well-known temporary sense of freedom children get when travelling. Gradually, however, it becomes clear that all is not well in the small community. Daily glances, teasing, and silences hide something nobody wants to talk about. Zoza is burdened by the death of his best friend, who committed suicide three weeks before the school trip. When he decides to talk about his school friends’ failure to speak up about the brutal mistreatment of his friend and their decision to turn their gaze away from it, all attention turns to him. From that moment, he becomes the next victim. He escapes into the woods and then into a cave, where the only person he can still trust finds him. She betrays him, too. After what happens to him, something in Zoza shifts for good. He returns at dawn. Changed.

Miroslav Terzić was born in Belgrade in 1969 and graduated from studies in law.

Hjem / Dom / Home Početkom raspada Jugoslavije 1991. godine, usljed turbulentnih događaja, šestogodišnja Maja i njeni roditelji donose odluku o odlasku u Dansku. Obećana zemlja, međutim, postavlja pred ovu malu porodicu brojne izazove, posebno za Maju. Djevojčica začuđeno posmatra roditelje kako se očajnički trude priviknuti na novi svijet. Svjedočeći njihovim mukama, Maja brzo uči danski jezik i preuzima na sebe odgovornost kako bi im pomogla. Godinama kasnije, uprkos postignutom uspjehu, Maja se nosi sa suprotstavljenim emocijama. Svjesna je žrtve koju su njeni roditelji podnijeli i koja je duboko obilježila njen život, podsjećajući je, kao što je dobro poznato, da sve ima svoju cijenu. Marijana Janković, danska glumica i rediteljica rođena u Crnoj Gori, sa samo šest godina odselila se s roditeljima u Dansku. Diplomirala je na Danskoj državnoj školi za scenske umjetnosti 2006. godine, nakon čega se etablirala kao jedna od najzanimljivijih danskih glumica. Ostvarila je uloge u brojnim nagrađivanim filmovima i osvojila više prestižnih nagrada. Godine 2018. igrala je u dugo očekivanom filmu proslavljenog reditelja Larsa von Triera KUĆA KOJU JE IZGRADIO JACK, uz Matta Dillona. Iste godine, Janković se okušala i iza kamere, snimivši svoj prvi kratkometražni, djelimično autobiografski film MAJA, prema vlastitom scenariju. DOM je njen prvi dugometražni igrani film. E In 1991, amid the Balkan region’s dissolution and prompted by the unfolding events, six-year-old Maja and her parents decide to journey from Yugoslavia to Denmark. Their encounter with the promised land proves to be a challenging ordeal for the small family, however, and particularly for Maja. She observes in wonder as her parents desperately try to adapt to an entirely new world. Witnessing her parents’ difficulties, Maja quickly learns to speak Danish and consequently shoulders the responsibility of an adult to support them. Years later, despite achieving success, Maja grapples with conflicting emotions, recognising the sacrifices her parents made that shaped her life – for, as we know well, everything comes with its price.

Izgubljeni sin / The Lost Son Iskusni policijski istražitelj Andrej suočava se sa šokantnim otkrićem kada shvati da je njegov otuđeni brat Kristian porodični nasilnik. Dok se bori s osjećajem krivnje i pokušava popraviti odnos s bratom, Andrej uočava sličnosti između Kristianovog ponašanja i ponašanja njihovog oca zlostavljača. Andrejev lični i profesionalni život se prepliću navodeći ga na zloupotrebu narkotika i narušavajući njegove odnose sa ljudima. Tragični razvoj događaja prisiljava Andreja da se suoči sa svojim starim traumama, što rezultira bolnom svađom s ocem. Dok traži oprost i pomirenje, doživljava još jedan razoran životni preokret kada Kristian počini jeziv čin i prisili Andreja da osvijesti dubinu njihove porodične drame i vlastitu odgovornost za situaciju u kojoj su se zatekli. Darko Štante je cijenjeni slovenski reditelj i scenarist. Magistrirao je filmsku režiju na Akademiji za kazalište, radio, film i televiziju u Ljubljani. Njegov prvi dugometražni igrani film POSLJEDICE premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu. Film je potom osvojio brojne nagrade i osigurao distribuciju širom svijeta. E Andrej, a seasoned criminal investigator, faces a shocking revelation when he encounters his estranged brother, Kristian, as a domestic violence perpetrator. As he grapples with guilt and tries to mend their relationship, parallels between Kristian’s behaviour and that of their abusive father emerge. This personal turmoil and Andrej’s professional life intertwine, leading to substance abuse and strained relationships. A tragic turn of events pushes Andrej to confront his past trauma, which culminates in a heartbreaking confrontation with his father. As he seeks redemption and reconciliation, his life takes another devastating turn when Kristian commits a horrific act, forcing Andrej to confront the depths of familial turmoil and personal responsibility.

Darko Štante, an acclaimed director and screenwriter from Slovenia, holds a master’s degree in film directing from the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television in Ljubljana. He made his feature directorial debut with CONSEQUENCES, which had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and went on to win multiple awards and secure distribution deals worldwide.

Koke / Honey Bunny Brižna i samouvjerena računovotkinja Tonina vodi privatnu kompaniju sa suprugom i kćerkom i u potpunosti upravlja porodičnom logistikom. Uz vlastite obaveze, Tonina njeguje nepokretnu i dementnu majku. Njena mlađa sestra Tajana znatno je manje ambiciozna i sa svojom porodicom vodi bezbrižniji život. Dvije sestre se sukobe kada Tonina u tajnosti otkupi dio porodične ostrvske kuće od njihove rodice Željke iako su se sestre dogovorile da će ga zajedno otkupiti. Godinu dana kasnije Tonina i Tajana se pokušavaju pomiriti uoči majčinog rođendana, ali stare napetosti među njima opet isplivaju na površinu. Igor Jelinović, rođen 1984. godine, hrvatski je reditelj i scenarist i autor nekoliko kratkometražnih igranih filmova. Jelinović je i predsjednik Udruženja filmskih radnika “Blank” koje je usredsređeno na filmsko obrazovanje djece i omladine i produkciju debitantskih kratkometražnih filmova. E Tonina, a caring and confident accountant, runs her company together with her husband and daughter, and holds all the strings of the family logistics. Along with all these obligations, Tonina is taking care of her bedridden mother, who is suffering from dementia. Her younger sister Tajana and her family have a much more easygoing and less ambitious approach to life. The sisters clash when Tonina secretly buys out a part of the family’s island house from a cousin, even though the sisters had agreed to buy it together. One year later, Tonina and Tajana try to reconcile for their mother’s birthday, but tensions resurface.

Igor Jelinović, Croatian director and screenwriter, was born in 1984, and has directed several short fiction films. He is the president of Blank, a non-profit film association whose main focus is film education for children and youth, along with the production of short form films for debut directors.

Skriti ljudje / Skriveni ljudi / Hidden People Guti (35) i Sig (50) bude se pretučeni, mamurni i vezani lisicama jedan za drugoga na obali rijeke nedaleko od Ljubljane. Sig, očigledno turista, pati od gubitka pamćenja i ne može da se sjeti odakle dolazi niti zašto je – kako sam misli – zaglavio u Slovačkoj. Zajedno kreću u potragu za Sigovim pasošem i njegovim identitetom, a usput rade i na Gutijevom životnom projektu: izgradnji riječnog splava koji bi mogao da njegov život, urušen bolnim razvodom, propalim bankarskim kreditima, nemilosrdnom birokratijom i brojnim lošim susjedima, ponovo postavi na noge. Miha Hočevar, rođen 1963, filmski je reditelj i scenarist. Režirao je pet dugometražnih igranih filmova, od kojih su neki stekli kultni status među slovenskom publikom, naročito njegov debitantski film JEBIGA iz 2000. godine. Njegove komedije GREMO MI PO SVOJE i GREMO MI PO SVOJE 2 zauzimaju drugo, odnosno peto mjesto na listi najgledanijih filmova svih vremena u slovenskim bioskopima. Kriminalističke televizijske serije nastale prema bestseler romanima Tadeja Goloba, na kojima je radio kao koscenarista – JEZERO (2019), LENJINOV PARK (2022) i DOLINA RUŽA (2022) – bile su među najgledanijim televizijskim programima u godinama kada su emitovane. Najnoviji projekat na kojem je radio kao koscenarista je televizijska mini serija TREZOR (2026), u produkciji RTV Slovenije. E Thirty-five-year-old Guti and fifty-year-old Sig wake up beaten, hungover, and handcuffed together on a riverbank near Ljubljana. Sig, obviously a tourist, suffers from memory loss and can’t remember where he is from or why he is – as he thinks – stuck in Slovakia. He and Guti embark on a journey to recover Sig’s passport and identity and, in the meantime, work on Guti’s dream project: a river raft that will hopefully rebuild Guti’s life, which has fallen victim to a bad divorce, failed bank loans, vicious bureaucracy, and many, many bad neighbours.

Miha Hočevar (1963) is a film director and screenwriter. He has directed five feature films, many of which have gained cult status among Slovenian cinema-goers, especially his debut film FUCK IT (2000). His comedy films GOING OUR WAY and GOING OUR WAY 2 are the second and fifth all-time highest-grossing films in Slovenia, while the crime series he co-wrote, THE LAKE (2019), LENIN’S PARK (2022), and VALLEY OF FLOWERS (2022), were among the most-watched television shows in their respective years of production. His most recent project as a co-writer is the television miniseries THE SAFE (2026), produced by RTV Slovenia.

Udovac / The Widower Mirsad, šezdesetdvogodišnji električar, živi u patrijarhalnom okruženju u kojem je i odrastao. Njegova uhodana, rutinska svakodnevnica drastično se mijenja nakon iznenadne smrti supruge Enise. Mirsad ostaje sam dok njegova odrasla djeca žive svoje živote. Pokušavajući da se navikne na život bez supruge, shvata da joj tokom braka nije posvećivao dovoljno pažnje i ljubavi, uzimajući je zdravo za gotovo. Njegov već otuđeni odnos sa sinom dodatno se pogoršava kada sazna da sin živi s muškim prijateljem. Dok ga najbolji prijatelj nagovara da pronađe novu ženu, Mirsad počinje preispitivati svoj život i ponašanje prema ljudima oko sebe, no za Enisu je prekasno. Uskoro primjećuje da i njegova kćerka živi sličnim životom kao i njena majka. Hari Šečić rođen je u Sarajevu 1986. godine. Diplomirao je režiju na Akademiji scenskih umjetnosti u Sarajevu 2016. dugometražnim dokumentarnim filmom U POTRAZI ZA DOMOM.

Za kratki film UKRADENA SREĆA dobio je nagradu na festivalu Srebrena traka u Srebrenici 2012. godine. E Mirsad is a sixty-two-year-old electrician who was raised and lives in a patriarchal society. His daily routine changes after the sudden death of his wife, Enisa. Mirsad is left alone while his grown children live their own lives. As he tries to get used to a life without his wife, he realises that he took her for granted and had never given her the love and care she deserved. Mirsad’s relationship with his estranged son worsens after he discovers the son lives with a male friend. While his best friend tries to convince him to find a new wife, Mirsad starts questioning his life and his relationships with people, but it is too late for him to change the way he treated Enisa. Soon, Mirsad realises his daughter lives a life similar to that of her mother.

Virus patološke dobrote / The Virus of Pathological Kindness Tokom snježne večeri u Zagrebu 1983, nepoznati muškarac neobjašnjivo se pojavljuje u stanu Zorke Vasiljević i tvrdi da je stigao vremeplovom iz budućnosti. Njegova zapanjujuća predviđanja događaja te večeri i uznemirujuće priče o onome što tek predstoji tjeraju Zorku da odluči da li je riječ o obmani ili istini. Da li sudbina čovječanstva zaista zavisi od njenih odluka? Predrag Ličina režirao je i napisao kratkometražni igrani film TELEPORT ZOVKO 2013. godine. Režirao je i napisao dugometražne igrane filmove POSLJEDNJI SRBIN U HRVATSKOJ i VIRUS PATOLOŠKE DOBROTE. Napisao je tri zbirke priča “Bljuzga u praskozorje” (2018), “Bljuzga u podne” (2020) i “Bljuzga u sumrak” (2022). E On a snowy Zagreb night in 1983, a stranger inexplicably turns up at Zorka Vasiljević’s flat claiming he has arrived from the future using a time machine. His stunning predictions of the events of that night and disturbing stories of what lies ahead force Zorka to decide if she believes him or not. Is the future of humankind really dependent on her decisions?

Predrag Ličina wrote and directed the short fiction film TELEPORT ZOVKO (2013) as well as the feature-length fiction films THE LAST SERB IN CROATIA and THE VIRUS OF PATHOLOGICAL KINDNESS. He has also written three collections of short stories: “Slush before Dawn” (2018), “Slush at Midday” (2020), and “Slush at Dusk” (2022).

Kinoscope & Kinoscope Surreal Kada se na to odvaže, filmovi su u stanju uhvatiti prelomni trenutak, trenutak u kojem se život potiho mijenja. Ovogodišnja selekcija programa Kinoscope okuplja dvanaest filmova zasnovanih na takvim prekretnicama. Potprogram Kinoscope Surreal čini dodatnih šest filmova koji prelaze prag i uvode nas u registar u kojem promjena prestaje biti metaforična.

Alessandro Raja

U mladosti su pragovi preko kojih se prelazi najviši. U filmu FILIPINJANA reditelja Rafaela Manuela, sedamnaestogodišnja Isabela slaže loptice za golf za moćne muškarce, članove kantri kluba pogođenog sušom. Njena nevina zaljubljenost prerasta u nešto zlokobno nakon što otkrije na čemu su utemeljeni uredno podšišani klupski travnjaci. U filmu GRADIVA, koji je osvojio Glavnu nagradu programa Sedmica kritike Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, Marine Atlan prati francuske tinejdžere na putovanju do Pompeja, gdje gipsani odljevi žrtava erupcije Vezuva u njima bude duboku čežnju za kakvu ih nijedno školsko putovanje nije pripremilo. U filmu ŠAPAT rediteljice Leyle Bouzid, mlada žena vraća se u Tunis kako bi prisustvovala sahrani i tamo zatiče tri generacije žena koje dijele istu kuću, kao i isti niz neizgovorenih duševnih rana. Film DEČKO IZ KONGA Fariale Alolee Alberta prati sedamnaestogodišnjeg Roberta kojeg je rat otjerao iz domovine i koji piše pjesme kako bi svoj život držao na okupu. Wayne Wapeemukwa u filmu LOV NA ČOVJEKA dva mladića šalje u različitim smjerovima, da lutaju šumama i opustošenim gradovima, postavljajući pitanje kakva jedna zemlja mora biti da bi proizvela takvo nasilje. U filmu PLAVA ČAPLJA Sophy Romvari, osmogodišnja djevojčica, iz vizure svog starijeg brata, posmatra raspad vlastite mađarske porodice koja je dom pronašla u Kanadi. Ovi se filmovi slažu u tome da emancipacija rijetko izgleda kao sloboda u trenutku kada se odvija. Drugi filmovi u programu Kinoscope prate protok vremena kroz promjene na tijelima i kućama. Film reditelja Fernanda Eimbckea

112 32. Sarajevo Film Festival l KINOSCOPE

MUHE, kao i film TIHA PRIJATELJICA rediteljice Ildikó Enyedi, odbacuju tiraniju jednog sadašnjeg vremena. Eimbckeova junakinja Olga, usidrena u vlastitoj rutini, gubi kompas kada podstanar, njoj nepoznat muškarac, u njen dom u tajnosti dovede svog devetogodišnjeg sina. Enyedi prati isto drvo ginka kroz tri različite godine – 1908, 1972. i 2020. – i tri pokušaja u tri različita stoljeća da se razgovara s bićem koje ne može odgovoriti. Tri filma bave se tragedijama na način suprotan novinskim naslovnicama. Film Teodore Ane Mihai HEYSEL 85 rekonstruiše tragediju koja se dogodila na istoimenom stadionu iz perspektive gradonačelnikove kćeri i novinarke, stapajući materijal snimljen za film sa zrnastim arhivskim snimcima. U filmu KUKAVICA, čiji su glavni protagonisti podijelili nagradu za najboljeg glumca Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, Lukas Dhont priča o ljubavi dva vojnika u belgijskim rovovima tokom Prvog svjetskog rata, priču o nježnosti koja insistira da se uvaži na najmanje nježnom zamislivom mjestu. Iz takmičarskog programa Filmskog festivala u Locarnu stiže nam film Anne Oren OBJET A o paru koji strast kanališe kroz predmete, podjednako kao jedno kroz drugo, anatomski uvid u fiksaciju i osjećaj dodira. USNULA AVANTURA Valeske Grisebach, film koji je osvojio Nagradu žirija Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, zaokružuje našu selekciju po vlastitom nahođenju. Film prati arheologa na tromeđi Bugarske, Grčke i Turske kojeg stari prijatelj uvlači u kriminalno podzemlje grada koji, posmatran iz visine, djeluje sasvim nevino. Potprogram Kinoscope Surreal zaranja u isto podzemlje i dopušta mu da izbije na površinu. Film Hanne Bergholm DIJETE NOĆI, koji je premijerno prikazan u takmičarskoj selekciji ovogodišnjeg festivala u Berlinu i nedavno je osvojio Glavnu nagradu festivala Fantasia, prati majku koja se vraća u svoj djetinji dom u Finskoj, gdje, suprotno mišljenju svih koji je okružuju, postaje uvjerena da sin kojeg je upravo ro-

dila nije sasvim njen. Fizički užas prožima film Marion Le Corroller VRSTA u kojem premorena stažistkinja u hitnoj medicinskoj službi posmatra kako njeni pacijenti i vršnjaci razvijaju simptome koje i njeno tijelo uskoro počinje pokazivati. Isto se može reći i za film SAHARIN rediteljice Natalie Erike James u kojem studenticu medicine doslovno počne proganjati ono što je pojela nakon što odluči držati pomodnu dijetu zasnovanu na ljudskom pepelu. Eros i tanatos dijele krevet u filmu Jane Schoenbrun TINEJDŽERSKI SEKS I SMRT U KAMPU MIASMA u kojem snimanje novog filma, dijela franšize slešerskih filmova, potpaljuje strast između queer reditelja i samozatajne kraljice horora koju nastoji pridobiti za saradnju. Isto se može reći i za film LEVITI reditelja Adriana Chiarelle u kojem dvojicu tinejdžera progoni nasilni entitet koji poprima oblik osobe za kojom najviše žude – onoga drugog od njih. Program će zatvoriti film Davea Boyla NIKADA POSLIJE MRAKA u kojem vidovnjakinja, koja pomaže nesmirenim duhovima da napuste svijet živih, otkriva da po prvi put njen najveći suparnik uopće nije duh. Dva programa, jedan instinkt: film kao mjesto prelaska praga nakon kojeg niko ne ostaje nepromijenjen.

E Cinema, when it dares, catches the hinge — the instant a life tips, quietly, into another shape.

This year’s Kinoscope programme gathers twelve films that stand exactly at that hinge. Kinoscope Surreal takes six more all the way beyond it – into a register where the change stops being metaphorical and sometimes becomes physical. Youth is where thresholds are the highest In FILIPIÑANA, director Rafael Manuel’s seventeen-year-old protagonist Isabel lines up golf balls for the powerful men of a drought-stricken country club, her innocent infatuation curdling into something sinister once she learns what the club’s manicured lawns are built on. Marine Atlan’s LA GRADIVA, which won the Grand Prix

in La Semaine de la Critique at the Festival de Cannes, sends French teenagers to Pompeii, where the plaster casts of Vesuvius’s dead unlock a flood of longing no school trip prepared them for. In Leyla Bouzid’s IN A WHISPER, a young woman returns to Tunisia for a funeral and finds three generations of women sharing one house and one set of unspoken wounds. Rafiki Fariala’s CONGO BOY follows seventeenyear-old Robert, displaced by war, writing songs to hold his life together; Wayne Wapeemukwa’s MANHUNT sends two young men in the opposite direction, into forests and ghost towns, asking what a country must be to produce this kind of violence. And in Sophy Romvari’s BLUE HERON, an eight-year-old watches her Hungarian family, now settled in Canada, come undone through her elder brother’s eyes before anyone else notices. Emancipation, these films agree, rarely looks like freedom while it is happening. Elsewhere, Kinoscope follows time across the body and the house. Fernando Eimbcke’s FLIES and Ildikó Enyedi’s SILENT FRIEND both refuse the tyranny of a single present tense: Eimbcke’s Olga, sealed inside her routines, is undone when a stranger secretly brings his nine-yearold son into the room he is renting from her; Enyedi follows one ginkgo tree through 1908, 1972, and 2020, three attempts across over a century to speak with something that cannot speak back. Two films sit with tragedy at the range of a whisper rather than a headline. Teodora Ana Mihai’s HEYSEL 85 rebuilds the 1985 Brussels stadium disaster through the eyes of a mayor’s daughter and a journalist, staged footage bleeding into archival grain. Lukas Dhont’s COWARD, whose leads shared the Best Actor award at Cannes, finds a love story between two soldiers in the Belgian trenches of World War I — tenderness insisting on itself in the least tender place imaginable. From the competition at the Locarno Film Festival, Ann Oren’s OBJET A follows a couple whose desire runs through objects as much as

each other – an anatomy of fixation and the sense of touch. Valeska Grisebach’s Cannes Jury Prize winner, THE DREAMED ADVENTURE rounds out the section on its own terms: an archaeologist on the Bulgaria-Greece-Turkey border is pulled by an old acquaintance into the criminal undertow running beneath a town that, from above, looks entirely innocent. Kinoscope Surreal takes the undertow and lets it break the surface. Hanna Bergholm’s NIGHTBORN, which had its premiere in the Competition at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival and more recently won an award at the Fantasia International Film Festival, sends a mother back to the isolated house of her own childhood in Finland – where she becomes convinced, against everyone’s reassurance, that the son she has just given birth to is not entirely her own. Body horror runs through Marion Le Corroller’s SPECIES, in which an overworked ER intern watches patients her own age develop symptoms her own body will soon share, as well as Natalie Erika James’s SACCHARINE, in which a fashionable new diet of human ashes leaves a medical student haunted, quite literally, by what she has eaten. Eros and Thanatos share a bed in Jane Schoenbrun’s TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA, in which a slasher-film-franchise reboot rekindles real desire between a queer director and the reclusive scream queen she is chasing, and in Adrian Chiarella’s LEVITICUS, as two teenage boys are hunted by an entity that wears the face of whoever they want most – meaning, unavoidably, each other. Dave Boyle’s NEVER AFTER DARK closes the section on its own hinge: a medium who guides the dead out of the world of the living discovers that her fiercest adversary this time is not a ghost at all. Two programmes, one instinct: cinema as the room where the threshold gets crossed, and nobody comes back quite the same. Mathilde Henrot & Alessandro Raja Selektori / Programmers

À voix basse / Šapat / In a Whisper Lilia se vraća u Tunis kako bi prisustvovala sahrani svog ujaka i posjetila rodbinu koja ne zna ništa o njenom životu u Parizu – a pogotovo ne o ženi koju voli. Suočavajući se s porodičnim tajnama tokom zajedničkog okupljanja i ponovnih susreta sa starim prijateljima s kojima evocira prošlost, Lilia iznova uviđa zašto je napustila domovinu. Istovremeno, odlučna je otkriti uzrok ujakove misteriozne i iznenadne smrti. Leyla Bouzid, rođena u Tunisu, preselila se u Francusku radi studija književnosti na Sorboni, a zatim i filmske režije na Školi za film i televiziju La Fémis. Njen debitantski igrani film DOK OTVARAM OČI premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji 2015. godine, gdje je osvojio nekoliko nagrada, nakon čega je uslijedilo više od četrdeset međunarodnih priznanja. Njen sljedeći igrani film PRIČA O LJUBAVI I ŽUDNJI zatvorio je program Sedmica kritike Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2021. godine. ŠAPAT je njen treći igrani film, premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. E Lilia returns to Tunisia for her uncle’s funeral and reunites with a family that knows nothing about her life in Paris, especially not about the woman she loves. Determined to confront her family’s secrets as they gather and old friends resurface to reminisce, Lilia is reminded why she left Tunisia in the first place and sets out to unravel the mystery of her uncle’s sudden death.

Leyla Bouzid was born in Tunis and moved to France to study literature at the Sorbonne, then film directing at La Fémis. Her debut feature-length film, AS I OPEN MY EYES, had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival in 2015, when it won several awards; the film went on to receive more than forty international prizes. Her second feature, A TALE OF LOVE AND DESIRE, was selected as the closing film for La Semaine de la Critique at the Festival de Cannes in 2021.

Leviticus / Leviti Dva nesretna tinejdžera moraju pobjeći od nasilnog entiteta koji poprima oblik osobe za kojom najviše žude – onog drugog. Radnja je smještena u izolirani gradić u Australiji, prožet religijskim fanatizmom i njegovim posljedicama po mlade stanovnike nestandardne seksualne orijentacije, što stvara jezivu i gotovo klaustrofobičnu atmosferu. Adrian Chiarella je nagrađivani australski scenarist i reditelj. Među njegovim televizijskim radovima ističu se TOTALNO KOMPLETNO DOBRO, EROTSKE PRIČE i PET SPAVAĆIH SOBA. Njegovi kratki filmovi prikazani su na brojnim međunarodnim festivalima, donoseći mu nagradu AACTA i nominacije za nagradu Australskog udruženja reditelja. LEVITI je njegov prvi dugometražni igrani film, premijerno prikazan u Ponoćnoj sekciji Sundance film festivala. E Two star-crossed teenage boys must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other. An isolated Australian small town hosts the evils of religious fanaticism and its consequences for queer youth, creating an atmosphere that is chilling and near-claustrophobic.

Adrian Chiarella is an award-winning Australian writer and director. His television credits include TOTALLY COMPLETELY FINE, EROTIC STORIES, and FIVE BEDROOMS.

Manhunt / Lov na čovjeka Dva mlada muškarca bježe od svojih besciljnih života i odlaze na putovanje duž sjeverne granice. Tretirajući stvarni zločin kao parabolu, film LOV NA ČOVJEKA obrađuje teme usamljenosti, muževnosti i kolonijalne potrebe da se počne ispočetka – sve dok potraga za smislom ne preraste u nasilje. Wayne Wapeemukwa je starosjedilački (Michif) filmski stvaralac i filozof koji živi u Kanadi. Njegov debitantski dugometražni film LUK’LUK’I premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu, gdje je osvojio Nagradu za najbolji kanadski debitantski film i osigurao međunarodnu kinodistribuciju. Wapeemukwa u svome radu kombinuje poetički realizam i političko istraživanje, te propituje teme srodstva, muževnosti i postkolonijalnog života. LOV NA ČOVJEKA je njegov drugi dugometražni film. E Two young men flee their dead-end lives on a road trip into the northern frontier. Recasting true crime as parable, MANHUNt explores loneliness, masculinity, and the colonial urge to begin anew – until the search for meaning erupts into violence.

Wayne Wapeemukwa is an Indigenous (Michif) filmmaker and philosopher based in Canada. His debut feature LUK’LUK’L had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Canadian First Feature, and received international theatrical distribution.

Never After Dark / Nikada poslije mraka Lutajuća vidovnjakinja Airi dane provodi pomažući nesmirenim duhovima da napuste svijet živih. Kada je pozovu u izoliranu kuću na selu, izravno se suočava s grotesknom prikazom čije moći nadilaze njeno iskustvo. Dok Airi sve dublje uranja u prošlost kuće, na svjetlost dana izlazi jedna tajna, a nju počinje proganjati znatno nepredvidljivija sila. Po prvi put njen najveći protivnik ne obitava u svijetu mrtvih, već u svijetu živih.

Summoned to an isolated country house, she comes face to face with a grotesque apparition with powers that defy her experience. As Airi digs deeper into the house’s past, a secret comes to light — and Airi finds herself hunted by a far more unpredictable force. For the first time, her greatest adversary is not the supernatural, but the living.

Stille Freundin / Tiha prijateljica / Silent Friend U srcu botaničkog vrta u srednjovjekovnom univerzitetskom gradu u Njemačkoj raste veličanstveno drvo ginka. Više od stoljeća, drvo je tihi svjedok protoka vremena i promjena u životima troje ljudi. Godine 2020. neurolog iz Hong Konga, koji proučava mozak dojenčadi, započinje neobičan eksperiment sa starim drvetom. Godine 1972. jednostavan čin posmatranja i povezivanja s geranijumom iz temelja mijenja život mladog studenta. Godine 1908. prva žena primljena na ovaj univerzitet fotografijom otkriva sveti krvotok univerzuma skriven u najskromnijim biljkama. Pratimo njihove nespretne i neobične pokušaje povezivanja, pri čemu je svako od njih duboko ukorijenjen u vlastitu svakodnevnicu dok se mijenjaju pod utjecajem tihe, trajne i misteriozne snage prirode. Ildikó Enyedi, rediteljka nominirana za Oscara, autorica je i rediteljica brojnih dugometražnih i kratkometražnih filmova te je dobitnica preko pedeset međunarodnih filmskih nagrada. Njen prvi dugometražni film MOJE DVADESETO STOLJEĆE (1989), osvojio je Zlatnu kameru za najbolje debitantsko ostvarenje na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. Godine 2017. snimila je film O TIJELU I DUŠI koji je osvojio Zlatnog medvjeda na Berlinaleu i bio nominiran za Oscara, kao i PRIČU O MOJOJ ŽENI, prikazanu u glavnom takmičarskom programu festivala u Cannesu 2021. godine. Njen najnoviji film premijerno je prikazan u septembru 2025. godine u glavnom takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Veneciji, gde je osvojio nagradu FIPRESCI, dok je Wedler nagrađena Nagradom “Marcello Mastroianni”. Pored filmskih nagrada, Ildikó Enyedi je osvajala i priznanja za scenarije, uključujući Međunarodnu scenarističku nagradu Hartley-Merrill. E In the heart of a botanical garden in a medieval university town in Germany stands a majestic ginkgo tree. Over the course of a century, this silent witness has observed the quiet rhythms of transformation across three human lives. In 2020, a neuroscientist from Hong Kong who explores the infant mind begins an unexpected experiment with the old tree. In 1972, a young student is profoundly changed by the simple act of observing and connecting with a geranium. In 1908, the university’s first female student discovers, through the lens of photography, sacred patterns of the universe hidden within the humblest of plants. We follow their clumsy, awkward attempts to connect — each of them deeply rooted in their own present — as they are transformed by the quiet, enduring, and mysterious power of nature.

Ildikó Enyedi is an award-winning and Academy Award-nominated director who has written and directed many feature and short films, and won more than fifty international prizes. Her first feature film, MY 20th CENTURY (1989), won the Caméra d’Or for best debut at the Festival de Cannes.” Her recent work includes ON BODY AND SOUL (2017), which won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and received an Oscar nomination, and THE STORY OF MY WIFE, which screened in the Official Competition at Cannes in 2021.

In addition to the prizes awarded to her as a filmmaker, she has also received recognition as a screenwriter, winning the Grand Prize of the Hartley-Merrill International Screenwriting Prize.

Dok se Jon muči da obezbijedi egzistenciju svojoj porodici, a njihov brak počinje da se raspada, samo Saga naslućuje uznemirujuću istinu o njihovom novorođenom djetetu.

Uvod / Introduction Ovogodišnji program European Shorts traga za smislom. U svijetu obilježenom kontradiktornostima i apsolutnim “istinama” koje dolaze sa svih strana, taj smisao postaje sve teže pronaći. Zato predstavljamo autore i autorice čiji filmovi kroz humor, apsurd, ali i intimne priče o traumi, gubitku i iscjeljenju, pokušavaju pronaći put kroz kakofoniju savremenog svijeta. U filmu OSTACI troje tinejdžera prerušava se za običaj Skråbock, lokalnu tradiciju obilaska kuća i traženja božićnih ostataka hrane. Dok maske skrivaju njihov identitet, one ujedno otkrivaju nešto mnogo dublje. OSTACI pruža uvid u jednu zajednicu tokom jedine noći u godini kada prelazak praga tuđeg doma nije samo prihvaćen, već i očekivan. DOM JE TAMO GDJE TI JE SRCE smješta Miju u prazan studio sa zelenim platnom, gdje kroz VR naočale ponovo proživljava sjećanja na porodičnu traumu. Kako se njena priča odvija, publika je pozvana da vizualizira ta fragmentirana sjećanja. Dajući Miji prostor da ispriča vlastitu priču svojim glasom, film pruža duboko intiman susret sa sjećanjem, traumom i iscjeljenjem.

svijet preko svog kompjutera, pitajući se hoće li ikad vidjeti svijet koji kodiraju. Jeste li znali da konji mogu letjeti? Pa, kobila Legacy pokazuje da može, barem u avionu. Prateći Legacy po takmičenjima preko cijelog svijeta, film AIR HORSE ONE pokazuje da životinje, jednako kao i ljudi, pod pritiskom prevelike slave mogu osjetiti samo melankoliju. Dati život za svoju zemlju biva redefinirano u filmu AUGUST I RAT kada mladić August kupuje pušku i prijavljuje se na vojnu obuku. Augustova slijepa želja dovodi ga u ambijent kojem ne pripada, ukazujući na moć sistema da izmanipulira pojedinca, posebice mlade neostvarene muškarce koji traže svoje mjesto u društvu. Granica između zaluđenosti ratom i neizbježnom smrti veoma je tanka u filmu ODRED GROMOVNIKA u kojem gerilska vojska provodi noć slaveći unapređenje njihova generala. Na vrhuncu hedonističkog slavlja suočavaju se s majkom prirodom, jedinom silom koju ne mogu pobijediti.

POSLJEDNJE PROLJEĆE prati Marion koja s uzbuđenjem kreće na ljetni školski izlet sa svojim razredom. Kroz izražajan animacijski stil koji spaja teksture olovke i bojica, rediteljica Mathilde Bédouet donosi nježnu priču o odrastanju, u kojoj uzbuđenje odlaska na ekskurziju polako ustupa mjesto zrelosti i tihoj spoznaji da bezbrižno djetinjstvo ne traje zauvijek.

John Rambo oživljen je na ekranu, ali ne u još jednom nastavku svoje franšize, nego u autorefleksivnoj filmskoj poemi Zulfikara Filandre. CLOSURE je autorov osvrt na djetinjstvo provedeno u gradu pod vojnom opsadom, u kojem je njegova percepcija rata oblikovana podjednako i fikcijom i stvarnosti.

MUŠKARCI U PEŠKIRIMA prati Roberta u muškom spa-centru, gdje jedan slučajni susret pretvara parne bazene u emocionalni ekspresni lonac. Kiyan Adjani gradi film ispunjen britkim humorom, preciznom vizuelnom estetikom i napetošću koje i protagonista i publiku drži bez daha do samog kraja.

Prizor u kojem Djeda Mraz dolazi tri puta u jednoj Badnjoj noći zvuči kao bajka, ali u filmu CHRISTINA JE BILA VEOMA DOBRA bajka se pretvara u porodičnu dramu. Koristeći format digitalne videokamere, reditelj Alin Boeru oživljava intimni stambeni prostor jedne porodice u postsocijalističkoj Rumuniji, otkrivajući da se ispod nevine površine njihovih blagdanskih običaja kriju mnogi problemi društva u tranziciji.

KRAJ nas vodi u svijet međunarodnog aerodroma, gdje rediteljica Niki Lindroth von Bahr prostor tranzita pretvara u mračno poetsku meditaciju o apsurdu i egzistencijalnoj tjeskobi. Svojim prepoznatljivim animacijskim stilom film stvara jedinstven svijet u kojem publika može uroniti u ovu mračno poetsku priču o međunarodnom aerodromu. Film UVIJEK SU HTJELI BITI BOG, NIKADA ČINITI DOBRO planinski vodič Patrick Bussard započinje naizgled jednostavnim pitanjem: “Šta križ radi na vrhu planine?” Iz tog pitanja razvija se duhovita i poticajna refleksija o vjeri, moći i simbolima koji nas okružuju. Film PLIVANJE SA SESTROM Lole Degove donosi nježnu meditaciju o sestrinstvu, gubitku i iscjeljenju, podsjećajući nas da, koliko god se gubitak činio usamljenim, tugu nikada ne nosimo potpuno sami. Nakon smrti majke otuđene sestre Rose i Lina ponovo se susreću u Ostendeu kako bi joj odale počast njihovim tradicionalnim novogodišnjim kupanjem kojem su godinama prisustvovale. Globalizacija pokazuje da je otišla predaleko u filmu NJIHOVE OČI, gdje jeftina radna snaga više ne odlazi na Zapad nego radi od kuće. Markirajući predmete, objekte i živa bića za autonomna vozila, online radnici upoznaju

S velikom moći dolazi velika odgovornost. Ipak, Alvaro, protagonist filma KRV, kao da ne mari previše što njegova krv ima moć iscjeljivanja drugih ljudi. Prikazujući svijet iz perspektive tinejdžera kojeg je teško fascinirati, reditelj Joaquín León preispituje vjerujemo li u čuda samo iz očaja ili su ona stvarno moguća. Bez obzira na razlike u kontekstu, formi i stilu, autori pronalaze zajednički jezik razmjenjujući svoje impresije društva i svijeta u kojem žive. Filmovi međusobno razgovaraju, gradeći dijalog koji nas podsjeća da je možda upravo potraga za smislom ono što nas povezuje, čak i kada odgovor ostaje neuhvatljiv. Nadamo se da ćete uživati u ovim pažljivo izabranim djelima i da ćete prepoznati djelić vlastite stvarnosti u njima.

E This year, the European Shorts programme is a quest for meaning. In a world marked by contradictions and absolute “truths” coming from all sides, meaning is becoming increasingly difficult to find. It is in this context that we introduce filmmakers whose works are searching for a

way through the cacophony of the modern world with their humorous and absurd, yet also intimate, stories of trauma, loss, and healing. In SCRAPS, three teens disguise themselves for the ritual of Skråbock, a local tradition of going from home to home and begging for Christmas leftovers. While their masks hide their identities, at the same time they reveal something deeper. SCRAPS offers insight into a community during one night of the year when crossing someone else’s threshold is not only acceptable but also expected. Home is Where the Heart Is places its protagonist, Mia, in a studio empty but for a greenscreen, where she uses VR glasses to relive her memories of a family trauma. As her story unveils, the viewer is forced to visualise Mia’s fragmented memories, creating a space in which she can tell her own story in her own voice. The film is a deeply intimate encounter with memories, trauma, and healing. THE LAST SPRING follows Marion as she embarks excitedly on a school trip. Through the film’s expressive animation style, which combines the texture of graphite and coloured pencils, director Mathilde Bédouet brings to life a gentle coming-of-age story in which the thirll of going on a school excursion is slowly replaced by maturity and the quiet realisation that careless childhood does not last forever. MEN IN TOWELS follows Robert during his stay at a spa for men, where a chance encounter turns the steam bath into an emotional pressure cooker. Kiyan Adjani has created a film brimming with sharp humour, relying on precise visual aesthetics and tension that keeps its protagonists and audience breathless until the very end. THE END takes us into the world of an international airport, where director Niki Lindroth von Bahr turns a transit area into a dark poetic meditation on existential anxiety and the absurd. Using her signature animation style, the filmmaker creates a unique world allowing the audience to dive into her dark poetic story. ALWAYS WANTED TO BE GOD, NEVER WANTED TO DO GOOD starts with a simple question posed by mountain guide Patric Bussard: What is a Christian cross doing on the summit of a mountain? This opens the way for a humorous and inspiring reflection on faith, power, and the symbols that surround us. Lola Degove’s SISTERS’ SWIM is a gentle meditation on sisterhood, loss, and healing that reminds us that, regardless of how lonely the experience of loss might be, we never carry sadness alone. In the film, estranged sisters Rosa and Lina meet in Ostende to pay tribute to their recently deceased mother by taking part in a New Year’s Day swim that has been their family tradition for years. Globalisation has gone too far. So demonstrates THEIR EYES, a film about cheap-labour workers who no longer travel to the West to find jobs but instead work from home. By marking objects and living creatures to train

self-driving cars, these online workers discover the world through their computers and wonder if they will ever get to see in real life that which they turn into code. Did you know that horses can fly? Legacy shows they can – at least on a plane. Following a show horse as it travels from one competition to the next around the world, AIR HORSE ONE shows that, when under the pressure of fame, animals can only turn melancholic – just as people do. The idea of giving one’s life for one’s country is redefined in AUGUST AND THE WAR, a film about August, a young man who buys a gun and applies for military training. His blind desire takes him into a world to which he does not belong, revealing the power of systems manipulate individuals, particularly young, unfulfilled men who are is search of their place in the world. The line between war fever and unavoidable death is very thin in THUNDER PLATOON, in which guerrilla soldiers spend a night celebrating the promotion of their commander. At the height of their hedonistic celebration, they are confronted by Mother Nature, the one force they cannot defeat. John Rambo comes back to life on screen, not in another franchise film but in the self-reflexive and poetic CLOSURE by Zulfikar Filandra, a contemplation on the director’s childhood, which was spent in a besieged city where his perception of war was shaped equally by fiction and reality. A story about Santa Claus visiting one child three times in the same night sounds like a fairytale, but in CHRISTINA HAS BEEN VERY GOOD it turns into a family drama. By choosing digital video format for his film, Alin Boeru succeeds in recreating the intimacy of the residential spaces of families in post-socialist Romania, revealing numerous problems of a society in transition that is hiding behind the seemingly innocent surface of its holiday traditions. With great power comes great responsibility, but Alvaro, the main protagonist of THE BLOOD, does not much seem to care that his blood has the power to heal others. By showing the world through the eyes of a teenager who is hard to impress, director Joaquín León explores whether miracles are truly possible or if the human belief in them is merely an act of desperation. Regardless of differences in the context, form and style of their works, these filmmakers find a common language by exchanging their impressions of the societies and the world they live in. Their films are in a dialogue and thus remind us that the search for meaning is perhaps what connects us even when we cannot find the answers we are looking for. We hope that you will enjoy these carefully selected films and that you will recognizse a fraction of your own reality in them. Šejla Lajlani and Luka Vlaho Selektori / Programmers

Između traganja i katarzičnih rituala, Mia gradi predmete i prostore ispunjene uspomenama. Ovaj čin je također, a prije svega, rekreiranje arhitekture nasilja viđene očima djevojčice koju je u djetinjstvu, u porodičnom domu, seksualno zlostavljao otac. Timothée Engasser je diplomirao urbanu sociologiju, a zatim je obrađivao teme od interesa u filmskim djelima koja je realizovao tokom studija na Državnom studiju za modernu umjetnost Le Fresnoy. Njegov drugi kratkometražni film ZLE MISLI CVATU U MRAKU premijerno je prikazan u međunarodnom takmičarskom programu Međunarodnog festivala kratkog filma u Winterthuru.

E Between quest and cathartic ritual, Mia builds objects and spaces filled with memories. This act is also, and above all, the re-creation of an architecture of violence through the eyes of a little girl who was sexually abused in her childhood home by her father. Timothée Engasser pursued his research themes in his cinematographic creations at Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains. His second short film, OMENS BLOOM IN THE DARK, had its premiere in international competition at the Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur. HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS, his most recent short film, premiered in competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

Dječak Alvaro živi s majkom na selu. Jednog dana otkriva da je njegova krv izuzetna. Osim nekih direktnih prednosti, čini se da to prilično neobično otkriće nije pretjerano bitno Alvaru, koji je više zainteresiran da shvati koja je svrha života. Joaquín León, španski reditelj, grafički dizajner i muzički producent iz Sevilje, rođen je 1983. godine. Od 2006. godine, kada je bio finalista na dodjeli MTV nagrada, režira reklamne i muzičke spotove. NNa Cannes Film Marketu 2022. godine odabran je za učešće u programu ICAA Talents Andalusia. Za film BESKRAJNA VRUĆINA, prikazan na brojnim međunarodnim festivalima, osvojio je Prvu nagradu Versión Española RTVE. Njegov najnoviji kratki film KRV premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu 2025. i osvojio je Nagradu za najbolji scenarij na 16. Festivalu evropskog filma u Sevilji. E Alvaro lives with his mother in the countryside. One day, the boy discovers his blood is extraordinary. This rather unusual discovery, aside from some immediate benefits, doesn’t seem to be important to Alvaro, however, as he is more focused on understanding what life is all about. Joaquín León was born in Sevilla in 1983. A director, graphic designer, and music producer, he has been directing commercials and music videos since 2006, when he was a finalist at the MTV Awards. He was selected for ICAA Talents Andalusia at the Cannes Film Market in 2022. He won the first Prize Versión Española RTVE Award for his short film ENDLESS HEAT, which was selected for numerous international festivals. His most recent short, THE BLOOD, received the XVI Screenplay Award at the Seville European Film Festival and had its premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2025.

Rose i Lina, sestre koje nisu pretjerano bliske, svake godine moraju otputovati u Ostend u Belgiji kako bi učestvovale u tradicionalnom novogodišnjem kupanju koje se održava prvog dana nove godine, a na kojem je insistirala njihova majka. Postoji samo jedan problem – njihova majka više nije s njima, ona je mrtva. Lola Degove, rediteljica animiranih filmova, rođena je 1998, a 2020. godine je diplomirala na Školi animiranog filma EMCA. Dvije godine kasnije završila je obrazovni program na Školi animacije La Poudrière. Nedavno je režirala film PLIVANJE SA SESTROM koji je 2026. godine uvršten u selekciju Filmskog festivala u Cannesu. E Every year, Rose and Lina, sisters who aren’t particularly close, have to make the trip to Ostend in Belgium for the traditional New Year’s Day swim imposed by their mother. Problem: their mother is no longer there… she’s dead. Lola Degove, born in 1998, is a director of animated films. She graduated from EMCA in 2020. In 2022, she completed studies at La Poudrière. Most recently, she directed SISTERS’ SWIM (2026), which was selected for the Festival de Cannes.

Nastavak koncepta La Factory selekcije programa Filmmaker’s Fortnight, inicirane 2013. godine, Next Step Studio program podržava uspon novih filmskih stvaralaca iz svih dijelova svijeta. Svake godine se održava u drugoj zemlji i promoviše tamošnju kinematografiju, povezujući etablirane i filmske stvaraoce u usponu – od kojih četiri lokalna i četiri strana – kako bi zajedno napisali i režirali četiri kratka filma. Ove godine Next Step Studio promoviše Indoneziju. Ova četiri filma predstavljena su u ovogodišnjem izdanju programa Sedmica kritike na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. SVETA GOMILA prati Ratnu koja se na vlastitoj sahrani diže iz mrtvih i pokreće oluju čuda. ORIGINALNA RANA donosi priču o bratu i sestri koji se nakon majčine smrti suočavaju s uspomenama o zlostavljanju i brizi. ANNISA govori o slijepoj tinejdžerki koja na proslavi u susjedstvu nalazi način da natjera druge da je čuju. Konačno, film MAJKE SE BAVE MAJČINSTVOM prati ženu zarobljenu u nasilnom braku u potrazi za slobodom. E Continuing the concept initiated in 2013 by La Factory at the Directors’ Fortnight of the Festival de Cannes , the Next Step Studio programme supports emerging new voices in cinema around the world. Each year, it takes place in a different country and highlights local filmmaking, bringing together eight emerging directors – four local and four international – to co-write and co-direct four short films. This year, Next Step Studio highlights Indonesia. These four short films were presented in La Semaine de la Critique at Cannes in 2026. HOLY CROWD follows Ratna, who rises from the dead during her own funeral, triggering a frenzy of miracles. ORIGINAL WOUND tells the story of a brother and sister who confront memories of abuse and care after the death of their mother. ANNISA is about a blind teenage girl who finds an unexpected way to make her voice heard amid a neighbourhood celebration. Finally, MOTHERS ARE MOTHERING follows a woman trapped in an abusive marriage in her search for freedom.

ZAGREB FILM FESTIVAL - BEST OF CHECKERS l 32. Sarajevo Film Festival 153

Vienna Triangle Od 2013. godine sekciju Fokus festivala Vienna Shorts prati međunarodna saradnja u sklopu Triangle Programa. Svake godine dva partnerska festivala pozivaju se da istraže zajedničku tematsku okosnicu, što rezultira s tri filmska programa koja se prikazuju na sva tri festivala. Za ovogodišnji Triangle Program Vienna Shorts pozvao je Sarajevo Film Festival i Festival 25 FPS iz Zagreba da zajedno istraže filmska promišljanja pažnje. Sarajevski program Attention as Action (Pažnja kao akcija) promišlja pažnju kao aktivni kognitivni proces koji pokreće djelovanje. Zagrebački program Dispersions (Disperzije), s druge strane, posvećen je trenucima u kojima pažnja pruža otpor i raspršuje se. Bečki program Digitalne petlje pažnje (Digital Attention Loops) fokusira se na digitalne oblike pažnje i načine na koje se oni prevode u filmski jezik. E Since 2013, the Focus section of the Vienna Shorts Film Festival has been accompanied by international collaborations through the so-called Triangle Program. Each year, two partner festivals are invited to explore a shared thematic focus, resulting in three film programmes that are presented at all three festivals.

For this year’s Triangle Program, Vienna Shorts invited the Sarajevo Film Festival and the 25 FPS Festival from Zagreb to jointly explore cinematic reflections on attention. Sarajevo’s programme, Attention as Action, reflects on attention as an active cognitive process that initiates action. Zagreb’s Dispersions, on the other hand, is dedicated to moments in which attention resists and dissolves. Vienna’s Digital Attention Loops focuses on digital forms of attention and the ways they are translated into the language of cinema.

E A dog is lost. Another day of heat plagues Athens. Klea and her roomies keep talking, walking, sweating (and smelling), in a city that is running out of water.

Tinejdžerka živi svoj život, naizgled se bez muke prebacujući između vlastite fizičke i digitalne stvarnosti. U svitanje prelazi preko mosta, prati neznance kroz gradske ulice i s prijateljima obilazi omiljena mjesta u New Yorku. Sve to snima telefonom i dijeli snimke vlastitog života na društvenom profilu. Komentari u formi titlova – od bezbrižnog čavrljanja s prijateljima do prijetećih poruka neznanaca – začinjavaju narativni tok ove priče. Film PRVI pruža uvid u stvarnost današnjih tinejdžera, prisiljenih da se povezuju preko izgrađenih digitalnih karaktera i učestvuju u slučajnim digitalnim susretima te pokazuje kako ih sve to oblikuje. E A teenager lives her life, toggling seamlessly between her physical and digital selves. She walks over a bridge at sunrise, follows a stranger through the streets of the city, and meets up with a friend to wander their favourite spots in New York City. She documents all of this on her phone, sharing her world by uploading to her profile. Comments, in the form of subtitles, puncture this narrative, ranging from casual banter with friends to threatening comments from strangers. FIRST is a glimpse into the realities teenagers have to negotiate today, how they connect through personas and engage in random digital encounters, and how that shapes them.

Šta znači dolaziti odnekud? Film ZEMLJA razigrani je kolažni prikaz života domorodačkog stanovništva Kalifornije, sastavljen od privatnih snimaka, fragmenata iz internetskog prostora i svakodnevnih krajolika. Film je refleksija o osjećaju pripadnosti, obespravljenosti i pravu da neko mjesto nazivamo domom u fizičkoj, historijskoj i digitalnoj sferi. E What does it mean to come from somewhere? In LAND, personal footage, online fragments, and everyday landscapes layer into a restless collage of Indigenous life in California. The film reflects on belonging, dispossession, and the right to call a place home across physical, historical, and digital territories.

Briljantan pohod u “podsvijest interneta” [sic]. Nemilosrdna vizuelna stimulacija i brza montaža bacaju gledaoca kroz vrtoglavi labirint čulnih utisaka i psihodeličnih apsurda, prateći pokušaj troje milenijalaca, kojima je dosadno, da otkriju porijeklo litijuma. Njihovo pretjerivanje moglo bi ih dovesti do izvora mudrosti, ali putovanje duž (mliječnog) puta ima svoju cijenu – i to ne samo onu izraženu u kriptovalutama.

Činjenice poput oblaka klize kroz Cloud. Digitalni radni stolovi, korpe za smeće i kursori mutiraju doživljaj fizičkog prisustva: nevidljivo zadovoljstvo dodira vjetra na koži. E A fact drifts by like a cloud in The Cloud. Digital desktops, trash cans, and cursors mutate the sensation of what tangibly remains: the invisible pleasure of The Wind on skin.

E A coruscatingly wild foray into the “unconscious of the Internet” [sic]. Relentless visual stimulation and rapid-fire editing ricochet the viewer through a dizzying labyrinth of sensory impressions and p$ych€de£ic absurdities as we follow three bored millennials in their quest to discover the Or1g1n of lithium. Their road of excess may lead to the palace of wisdom but there are prices to be paid along the (milky) way ... and not just in cryptocurr€ncy.

Ovaj filmski esej odvija se u zaustavljenom vremenu prije njenog zamišljenog puštanja iz zatvora, pletući ležernu koreografiju čekanja od snova, slučajnih bilješki, videosnimaka i slika generiranih umjetnom inteligencijom, čije probe postaju mjesto na kojem je dozvoljeno misliti i razgovarati s osobom koju ne možete vidjeti. E This essay film focuses on the absence of filmmaker and producer Çiğdem Mater, sentenced to eighteen years in prison as one of the Gezi trial defendants in Turkey. It inhabits the suspended time before her imagined release, weaving dreams, stray notes, screen recordings, and AI-generated images into a loose choreography of waiting in which rehearsal becomes a fragile space to think and speak with someone who has been excised from view.

Fjord Porodica Gheorghiu, rumunsko-norveški par vjernika s djecom, seli se u udaljeni fjord gdje se zbližavaju sa svojim susjedima, porodicom Halberg. Djeca dviju porodica se sprijateljuju uprkos razlikama u obrazovanju. Kada se adolescentica Elia Gheorghiu pojavi u školi s masnicama na tijelu, zajednica počne propitivati da li tradicionalno obrazovanje koje djeca dobijaju od svojih roditelja ima neke veze s tim. Cristian Mungiu je rođen 1968. godine u Iaşiju u Rumuniji. Njegov prvi dugometražni film ZAPAD premijerno je prikazan 2002. godine u programu “15 dana autora“ na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu, a s narednim dugometražnim filmom 4 MJESECA, 3 SEDMICE I 2 DANA 2007. je osvojio Zlatnu palmu. Film je također osvojio i nagrade za najbolji film i najboljeg reditelja Evropske filmske akademije. Mungiu se vratio u Cannes kao scenarist, producent i jedan od reditelja omnibusa PRIČE IZ ZLATNOG DOBA te kao scenarist i reditelj filma IZA BRDA, koji je nagrađen za najbolji scenarij i najbolju glumicu. S MATUROM, petim filmom predstavljenim u Cannesu, osvojio je Nagradu za najboljeg reditelja. Film MAGNETNA REZONANCA također je premijerno prikazan u takmičarskoj konkurenciji festivala u Cannesu 2022, dok je na ovogodišnjem izdanju premijerno prikazan film FJORD, donijevši Mungiu drugu Zlatnu palmu. E The Gheorghius, a devout Romanian Norwegian couple, resettle in a village set in a distant fjord, where they become close to their neighbours, the Halbergs. Their children bond despite their different education. When adolescent Elia shows up at school with some bruises on her body, the community asks itself if the traditional education the Gheorghiu children get from their parents could have anything to do with it.

Cristian Mungiu was born in Iaşi, Romania, in 1968. His debut feature film, WEST, had its premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Festival de Cannes in 2002. His second feature, 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS was awarded the Palme d’Or in Cannes in 2007 and won the European Film Academy Awards for Best Film and Best Director. Mungiu returned to Cannes as a writer-producer-co-director with the collective episodic film TALES FROM THE GOLDEN AGE, and as a writer-director with BEYOND THE HILLS, which took the awards for Best Screenplay and Best Actresses. GRADUATION, his fifth film presented at Cannes, won the award for Best Director. R.M.N. premiered in the Competition at Cannes in 2022, as did FJORD, which secured Mungiu his second Palme d’Or in 2026.

Garance / Još jedan dan / Another Day Garance je talentovana mlada glumica čiji sirovi magnetizam i vibrantni duh još uvek čekaju na priznanje koje priželjkuje. Živi od plate do plate u skromnom pariskom stanu, sve više pritiskana kratkotrajnim vezama, rastućom anksioznošću i alkoholizmom koji je postepeno obuzima. Uprkos haosu, posvećenost bolesnoj mlađoj sestri i nježna, rascvjetala romansa s Pauline predstavljaju njenu liniju spasa. Kako se te veze produbljuju, Garance pronalazi snagu da se suoči s tamom koju je dugo izbjegavala i kreće na teško, ali transformativno putovanje oporavka. Jeanne Herry je cijenjena francuska filmska autorica i glumica, poznata po režiji uspješnih dramskih filmova SIGURNE RUKE (2018) i SVA TVOJA LICA (2023), za koje je nominirana za César nagradu u kategoriji za najbolju režiju. Njen najnoviji film GARANCE premijerno je prikazan na 79. Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu. E Garance is a gifted young actor whose raw magnetism and vibrant spirit have yet to earn her the recognition she craves. Living paycheque to paycheque in a small Paris apartment, she feels increasingly suffocated by fleeting relationships, rising anxiety, and the grip of an alcohol addiction that is quietly tightening around her life. Amid the chaos, however, her devotion to her sick younger sister and a tender, blossoming romance with Pauline offer Garance a fragile lifeline. As these bonds deepen, she finds the strength to confront the darkness she has long avoided – setting her on a difficult but transformative journey to self-renewal.

Jeanne Herry is a critically acclaimed French filmmaker and actor. She is celebrated for directing acclaimed dramas like IN SAFE HANDS (2018) and ALL YOUR FACES (2023), both of which earned nominations for the César Award for Best Director. Her most recent feature, GARANCE, had its premiere at the Festival de Cannes in 2026.

Gentle Monster / Nježno čudovište Koncertna pijanistica Lucy s porodicom se seli iz grada u kuću na selu u nadi da će to pomoći njenom suprugu Philipu da se oporavi od ozbiljnog premora. Međutim, prije nego što se uspiju smjestiti u novi dom, rani jutarnji posjet policije razara njihov svijet. Izolirana i vođena očajničkom željom da zaštiti maloljetnog sina, Lucy se mora samostalno suočiti sa situacijom, rastrzana između muškarca kojeg voli i straha od onoga što je on možda učinio. Marie Kreutzer ubraja se među najuspješnije austrijske filmske stvaraoce.

Hako no Naka no Hitsuji / Ovca u kutiji / Sheep in the Box Otone i njen suprug Kensuke, tugujući za svojim mladim sinom koji je preminuo pod misterioznim okolnostima, obraćaju se kompaniji “REbirth”. Ova kompanija ožalošćenima omogućava da provedu još malo vremena sa svojim voljenima, koristeći robotiku generisanu vještačkom inteligencijom. Roditeljima dostavljaju vrhunski kvalitetnu humanoidnu repliku njihovog preminulog sina Kakerua. U početku, humanoid je gotovo nekomunikativan, međutim brzo se razvija i čini se da posjeduje sjećanja koja apsolutno ne bi trebalo da ima. Otone i Kensuke se, na vlastito iznenađenje, sve više zbližavaju s tom tvorevinom koja sve više liči na njihovog sina. Kore-eda Hirokazu, diplomirao je na Univerzitetu Waseda. godine. Karijeru je počeo kao reditelj nagrađivanih dokumentarnih televizijskih programa za djecu. Redovni je učesnik Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, a filmovi prikazani na ovom prestižnom festivalu uključuju, između ostalih NIKO TO NE ZNA (Nagrada za najboljeg glumca, 2024), i KAKAV OTAC TAKAV SIN (Nagrada žirija, 2013), . Njegov film PORODIČNI POSAO u Cannesu je osvojio Zlatnu palmu 2018. godine i nominiran je za Oscara za najbolji film na stranom jeziku. Nakon toga snima filmove nastale u međunarodnoj koprodukciji: ISTINA i BROKERI (Nagrada za najboljeg glumca na festivalu u Cannesu 2022). Na 76. izdanju Filmskog festivala u Cannesu s filmom ČUDOVIŠTE osvojio je Nagradu za najbolji scenarij, a ove godine se vratio u Cannes kako bi premijerno prikazao svoj najnoviji igrani film OVCA U KUTIJI. E Grieving Kakeru, their young son, who died in mysterious circumstances, Otone and her husband Kensuke turn to REbirth, a company that assists the bereaved by allowing them to spend more time with their deceased loved ones. Using AI-generated robotics, the company supplies the parents with a state-of-the-art humanoid replication of Kakeru. Initially, the humanoid is barely communicative; it develops rapidly, however, and appears to have memories that are logically impossible for it to have access to. Otone and Kensuke are perplexed to find themselves drawing closer and closer to what appears more and more to be their son.

Kore-eda Hirokazu graduated from Waseda University and started his career by directing several prize-winning documentary programmes for television. His films have been frequently selected for the Festival de Cannes: NOBODY KNOWS (2004) won the Best Actor Award, and LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON (2013) won the Jury Prize. In 2018, SHOPLIFTERS won the Palme d’Or at Cannes and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

After winning the award for Best Screenplay for MONSTER at Cannes in 2023, he returned to the festival’s once again for the premiere of his most recent feature, SHEEP IN THE BOX, in 2026.

Soudain / Iznenada / All of a Sudden Uprkos protivljenju svojih zaposlenika, direktorica staračkog doma Marie-Lou želi uvesti inovativan pristup njege koji se temelji na slušanju štićenika i poštivanju njihovog dostojanstva. Njen životni put mijenja se susretom s Mari, japanskom pozorišnom rediteljicom oboljelom od raka. Uspostavivši duboko prijateljstvo zasnovano na međusobnoj podršci, ove dvije žene zajedno se upuštaju u borbu da “nemoguće učine mogućim”.

Posvećeno: Béla Tarr u Sarajevu / The Béla Tarr in Sarajevo Tribute Program Posvećeno: BÉLA TARR U SARAJEVU zamišljen je kao dugoročna inicijativa posvećena predstavljanju stvaralaštva autora koji su svoje umjetničko formiranje započeli kroz film.factory, jedinstvenu filmsku školu koju su Béla Tarr i njegovi saradnici osnovali u Sarajevu. Između 2013. i 2016. godine autori iz cijelog svijeta dolazili su u Sarajevo kako bi zajedno učili, sarađivali i razvijali vlastite filmske poetike u okruženju koje se u mnogo čemu razlikovalo od klasičnih filmskih škola i akademija.

Béla Tarr

li, zajedno radili i oblikovali svoje autorske poetike. Time se uspostavlja novi dijalog između autora, publike i Sarajevo Film Festivala. U godinama koje dolaze program će predstavljati i naredne generacije, stvarajući kontinuirani prostor susreta, razmjene i dijaloga između autora, Festivala i grada u kojem je sve započelo.

Umjesto da se vraća filmovima nastalim tokom njihovog školovanja, ovaj program prati puteve koji su upravo u Sarajevu započeli. Svako izdanje bit će posvećeno jednoj generaciji bivših studenata film.factoryja, predstavljajući filmove koje su snimili nakon odlaska iz Sarajeva i prateći razvoj njihovih autorskih poetika. Na taj način program ne govori samo o trajnom utjecaju Béle Tarra kao mentora, nego i o posebnom mjestu koje Sarajevo i danas zauzima u profesionalnim i umjetničkim životima ovih autora.

Ovogodišnja selekcija donosi igrane, dokumentarne i eksperimentalne filmove koji najbolje svjedoče o raznolikosti autorskih poetika proisteklih iz film.factoryja. Njihovi autori danas svoje filmove prikazuju na festivalima poput Cannesa, San Sebastiána, Locarna, Rotterdama i Clermont-Ferranda. Ono što ih povezuje nije zajednička estetika ili filmski stil, već način razmišljanja o filmu koji je poticao individualnost, umjetničku slobodu i dosljednost vlastitom autorskom izrazu. Zajedno, ovi filmovi predstavljaju portret međunarodne generacije autora čiji su se profesionalni putevi oblikovali u Sarajevu i koji danas svojim radom nastavljaju obogaćivati savremenu svjetsku kinematografiju.

Prvo izdanje okuplja autore prve generacije film. factoryja i vraća ih u grad u kojem su se upozna-

Više od retrospektive, program BÉLA TARR U SARAJEVU slavi nasljeđe koje i dalje živi i razvija se.

To je priznanje ne samo izuzetnom doprinosu Béle Tarra svjetskoj kinematografiji, nego i generacijama autora koji kroz vlastite filmove nastavljaju njegovati duh umjetničke radoznalosti, stvaralačke slobode i autorske dosljednosti koji je u Sarajevu pronašao svoj poseban izraz.

E The BÉLA TARR IN SARAJEVO Tribute is conceived as a long-term programme celebrating the enduring artistic community that grew out of the film.factory, the unique school founded by Tarr and his collaborators in Sarajevo. Between 2013 and 2016, filmmakers from around the world came together in the city to learn from one another, collaborate, and develop their cinematic voices in an environment unlike any conventional film school.

Rather than looking back at the films created during those years, this programme follows the journeys that began there. Each edition focuses on one generation of film.factory alumni, presenting the work they have made since they trained in Sarajevo and tracing the evolution of

their artistic voices. In doing so, it highlights not only the continuing influence of Tarr’s mentorship, but also the lasting place Sarajevo holds in the creative lives of these filmmakers. The programme brings filmmakers back to the city where their paths first crossed, generating a renewed dialogue among artists, audiences, and the Sarajevo Film Festival. Over the coming years, successive generations will return to the city, transforming the Tribute into a living chronicle of one of the most distinctive educational initiatives in contemporary cinema. The inaugural edition brings together works by the first generation of filmmakers who studied with Tarr in Sarajevo, demonstrating the remarkable breadth of voices that emerged from the film.factory. Spanning works of fiction, documentary, and experimental cinema, the selection reflects careers that have since taken these filmmakers to many of the world’s leading festivals, including the Festival de Cannes, the San Sebastián International Film Festival, the Locarno Film Festival, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the Clermont-Ferrand

International Short Film Festival. Rather than revealing a single aesthetic or cinematic school, these films reflect an educational philosophy that encouraged every participating filmmaker to discover a distinctly personal artistic language. Together, they offer a portrait of an international generation whose creative journeys began in Sarajevo and continue to shape contemporary world cinema. More than a retrospective, The BÉLA TARR IN SARAJEVO Tribute celebrates an artistic legacy that continues to evolve. It honours Tarr’s extraordinary contribution to world cinema, as well as the filmmakers whose work carries forward the spirit of curiosity, rigour and cinematic freedom that found a home in Sarajevo.

La Maternal / Majčinstvo / Motherhood Četrnaestogodišnja Carla divlja je i buntovna tinejdžerka. Živi s mladom, samohranom majkom u skromnom restoranu u predgrađu, bježi iz škole i provodi vrijeme s prijateljem Efraínom. Kada socijalna radnica otkrije da je trudna, Carlu odvode u centar za maloljetne majke “La Maternal”. Tamo će živjeti s drugim djevojkama sličnim njoj te će, zajedno sa svojim bebama, učiti kako se nositi s novim, odraslim životom za koji se nisu imale vremena pripremiti. Pilar Palomero studirala je na Filmskoj školi u Madridu (Escuela de Cine de Madrid). Zahvaljujući svojim nagrađivanim kratkometražnim filmovima, stekla je status jedne od najperspektivnijih španjolskih rediteljica i prije nego što je njen prvi dugometražni film ŠKOLARICE osvojio Nagradu Golden Biznaga na Filmskom festivalu u Malagi te četiri nagrade Goya, uključujući one za najbolji film i najboljeg mladog reditelja. Njen drugi dugometražni film MAJČINSTVO premijerno je prikazan u zvaničnoj takmičarskoj konkurenciji Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u San Sebastiánu, gdje je osvojio Srebrenu školjku za najbolju glavnu glumicu. Palomero je učestvovala u programima Berlinale Talents, Sarajevo Talents i Béla Tarr’s film.factory. E At the age of fourteen, Carla is wild and rebellious. Living in a modest restaurant on the outskirts of town with her young single mother, she skips school and passes the time with her friend Efraín. When a social worker realises Carla is five months pregnant, she is taken to La Maternal, a centre for teenage mothers, to live with other young women like herself. Together with their babies, they will learn to cope with a new adult life for which they have had no time to prepare.

Pilar Palomero studied cinematography at the Escuela de Cine de Madrid. Her award-winning short films established her as one of Spain’s most promising directors before her feature debut, SCHOOLGIRLS, won the Golden Biznaga at the Málaga Film Festival and four Goya Awards, including Best Film and Best New Director. Her second feature, MOTHERHOOD, had its premiere in the Official Competition at the San Sebastián International Film Festival, where it received the Silver Shell for Best Leading Performance.

Le pont / Most / The Bridge Filmska stvarateljica neočekivano se zatiče na mostu na kojem je njena majka umrla i odlučuje se suočiti s tim mjestom uz pomoć svoje kamere. Proces snimanja i montaže pretvara se u čin posmatranja, kontemplacije i konfrontacije. Njena majka prisutna je u svakom prizoru koji snimi. Zar mjesto nema nikakvih uspomena na ono što se tu dogodilo? Léa Triboulet je filmska autorica i spisateljica rođena na jugu Francuske. Triboulet je 2010. godine s pohvalama magistrirala scenarij na Višoj školi za dekorativne umjetnosti u Strasbourgu.

E The filmmaker unexpectedly came upon the bridge where her mother died and decided to confront the place with her camera. The process of filming and editing became one of observation, contemplation, and confrontation. Her mother inhabits every landscape she films. Does a place not retain any memory of what happened there?

Léa Triboulet is a filmmaker and writer, born and raised in the South of France. In 2010, she received a master’s degree with honours in scenography from ESADS in Strasbourg.

U ovom turskom selu, poznatom po beračima duhana, muslimanska zajednica je posvećena vjeri, porodici i tradiciji. Istovremeno, snažno njeguje i rodnu ravnopravnost, čvrsto vjerujući u jednakost svih. Stefan Malešević filmski je reditelj i kustos iz Srbije, a trenutno živi u Nizozemskoj. Studirao je filmsku režiju na Akademiji film.factory u Sarajevu, pod mentorstvom Béle Tarra.

Od 2021. godine radi kao glavni urednik za film i rukovodilac kina u kulturnom centru De Balie u Amsterdamu. E In the North Macedonian village of Kanatlar, Ayten and Erdoğan raise their children, balancing the eight-hundred-year-old Bektashi Sufi teachings with the struggles of modern life. In this tobaccogrowing valley, a Turkish Muslim community devoted to faith, family, and tradition allows gender equality to flourish quietly, rooted in the belief that all beings are equal.

Stefan Malešević is a filmmaker and film curator from Serbia, currently living in the Netherlands. He studied filmmaking at the film.factory in Sarajevo under the mentorship of Béla Tarr.

Travesías Alejandra i Víctor potiču iz različitih sredina i žive u gradovima koje je zid vještački podijelio na dva dijela - Tijuanu i San Diego. Ona radi kao manikirka u kozmetičkom salonu, a on studira ekonomiju i pokreće vlastitu kompaniju. Nakon telefonskog razgovora i svađe u klubu, oboje moraju krenuti u prelazak granica koje ih okružuju. Zbog toga uskoro postaje očigledno na koji način udaljenost između mjesta njihovog porijekla uslovljava način na koji se svako od njih suočava s vlastitim životom. Sergio Flores Thorija rođen je u Mexico Cityju. Pohađao je doktorski studij filma u sklopu edukativnog programa Béle Tarra film.factory. Tokom postdiplomskog studija snimio je svoj prvi dugometražni film 3 ŽENE ILI (BUĐENJE IZ MOG BOSANSKOG SNA) za koji je osvojio brojne nagrade u domovini i inostranstvu. Časopis Variety ga je 2015. godine proglasio jednom od novih nada meksičke kinematografije. E Alejandra and Víctor come from completely different backgrounds, and live in a metropolis that is artificially divided by a wall: the cities of Tijuana and San Diego. She works doing nails in a beauty salon, while he studies business and is starting his own company. After a phone call and an altercation in a club, the two have to embark on a journey that takes each of them to the opposite side of the border. Very soon, it becomes evident how the mere kilometres of distance between their places of origin sentence the way in which both face their lives.

Sergio Flores Thorija was born in Mexico City. He attended the PhD programme at the film.factory founded by Béla Tarr in Sarajevo. During his postgraduate studies, he made his first feature film 3 WOMEN OR (WAKING UP FROM MY BOSNIAN DREAM), which won awards at numerous film festivals. In 2015, “Variety” named Thorija as one of the upcoming talents of Mexican cinema.

Prošlost i sadašnjost ljudi koji žive oko njih se ukrštaju, a daleke uspomene odjekuju kroz imerzivne prizore svjetlosti i tame. Kaori Oda pohađala je program film.factory, koji je osnovao mađarski filmski autor Béla Tarr. Njen debitantski dugometražni film, ARAGANE, osvojio je Posebno priznanje na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Yamagati 2015. godine. Njeni naredni filmovi, VRTAČA i GAMA, naišli su na međunarodno priznanje. UNDERGROUND, njen najnoviji dugometražni film, sniman je na 16-milimetarskoj filmskoj traci u podzemnim prostorima širom Japana, a uvršten je u program Forum Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. E Cenotes are sources of water that in ancient Mayan civilisation were said to connect the real world and the afterlife. The past and present of the people living in and around them intersect, and distant memories echo throughout immersive scenes of light and darkness.

Kaori Oda participated in the film.factory, founded by Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr. Her featurelength debut, ARAGANE, received a Special Mention at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival in 2015. Her subsequent works CENOTE and GAMA have won international acclaim. UNDERGROUND, her latest feature, was filmed in underground spaces across Japan on 16 mm film and was selected for the Forum section of the Berlin International Film Festival.

Who the Fuck Are You Crno-bijela psihodelična pank-drama o jednom čovjeku, jednom gradu, jednom ludilu. Aleksandar dolazi iz Brisela u Beograd da bi riješio pitanje nasljedstva i s namjerom da postavi operu Ričard III. Obuzet pitanjem identiteta, alkoholizmom, operom, ratom, ženama, art-terapijom, kao i opsesijom svojim francuskim psihijatrom anarhistom, Aleksandar u Beogradu prolazi kroz pakao i doživljava nervni slom. Marina Radmilac rođena je 1981. godine u Doboju. Poslije dvogodišnjih studija filozofije, upisuje filmsku režiju u klasi prof. Miloša Radivojevića. Godine 2008. diplomirala je kratkim filmom iz jednog kadra DOBRO JUTRO, a 2013. godine nastavlja usavršavanje u doktorskom programu film.factory u Sarajevu, pod vodstvom i mentorstvom Béle Tarra. Kao scenaristica, producentica, glumica i rediteljica snimila je desetak kratkih igranih filmova. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU njen je prvi dugometražni film, snimljen u nezavisnoj produkciji. E WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU is a black-and-white psycho-delic punk drama about one man, one city, one madness. Alexander is an expat returning from Brussels to Belgrade for the restitution of his family’s property and with the intent of making an opera based on Shakespeare’s Richard III. While trying to mend his strained relationship with his elder brother, he pursues the project with maniacal determination all while going from bar to bar, rediscovering the charm of the city and its women, and shooting his memories with a Super 8 camera. As pressure mounts, so does his obsession with his anarchist psychiatrist as he faces mental breakdown.

Uvod / Introduction Mladi urbani borac za društvenu pravdu pokušava se izboriti s posljedicama kolektivnog zaborava koji je izbrisao tragove njegove prošlosti... Veteran kojeg teret vlastite odgovornosti i osjećaj krivnje zbog zločina počinjenih u ratu sprečavaju da se vrati porodici i domu... Ovo nisu sinopsisi filmova u programu Suočavanje s prošlošću, nego priče iz dva najveća filmska hita ovog ljeta: najnovijeg nastavka SPIDER-MANA i ODISEJE Christophera Nolana. Ova neočekivana poveznica možda najbolje govori koliko su pitanja kolektivnog sjećanja, posljedica nasilja, krivnje i pokušaja iskupljenja postala sastavni dio globalnog filmskog imaginarija. Ono što je dugo bilo vezano prvenstveno za politički i autorski film danas se pojavljuje i u najširem spektru popularne kulture. Naravno, u društvu najvećih svjetskih blockbustera, program Suočavanje s prošlošću ne takmiči se u budžetima, već u pitanjima koja postavlja. Ulazeći u svoju drugu deceniju postojanja, ovogodišnje izdanje programa donosi novu selekciju filmova koji iz različitih historijskih i umjetničkih perspektiva istražuju nasljeđa sukoba, mehanizme kolektivnog sjećanja i odgovornosti, kao i mogućnosti otpora mehanizmima nasilja i diskriminacije.

U debitantskom animiranom filmu PARADAÏZ, kanadska umjetnica sarajevskog porijekla Matea Radić kroz apsurdni humor i nadrealni jezik ručno crtane animacije istražuje iskustvo djeteta koje napušta ratom zahvaćeno Sarajevo i odrasle osobe koja pokušava razumjeti šta je od tog doma ostalo. Fragmenti sjećanja i slike prošlosti stvaraju nježnu priču o gubitku i potrazi za mjestom koje se još uvijek može nazvati domom. DO YOU LOVE ME rediteljice Lane Daher dokumentarni je film u potpunosti sastavljen od arhivskih materijala – filmskih kadrova, televizijskih zapisa, kućnih videa i fotografija – kroz koje autorica istražuje audiovizuelnu memoriju Libana i Bejruta. Polazeći od fragmenata prikupljanih tokom sedam desetljeća, Daher gradi portret zemlje čija se prošlost otkriva između trenutaka ljepote, nasilja i otpora. UTAKMICA reditelja Juana Cabrala i Santiaga Franca polazi od jedne od najpoznatijih fudbalskih utakmica u historiji – četvrtfinalnog susreta između Argentine i Engleske na Svjetskom

prvenstvu 1986. godine – koja se pretvorila u simboličku reakciju na rat za Falklandske/ Malvinske otoke. Kroz arhivske snimke i svjedočanstva učesnika, film otkriva kako sportski događaji mogu postati nositelji nacionalnih identiteta i nerazriješenih historijskih emocija. Polazeći od istraživanja njemačke kulture sjećanja i vlastitog porodičnog nasljeđa, Leah Galant u filmu PREDJELI SJEĆANJA preispituje kako se nasljeđe Holokausta prenosi kroz generacije, ali i kako se može instrumentalizirati za nove oblike isključivanja i targetiranja. Film tako postavlja neugodno, ali nužno pitanje: kako sačuvati odgovornost prema prošlosti, a istovremeno spriječiti da ona postane sredstvo za opravdavanje novih nepravdi? Jedan od dokumentarnih naslova koji je obilježio festivalsku godinu na izmaku, MIROTVORAC Ivana Ramljaka suočava nas s jednom od najtragičnijih epizoda u ratnom raspadu Jugoslavije: ubistvom Josipa Reihl-Kira, načelnika osječke policije koji je pokušavao spriječiti nasilje i sačuvati prostor za pregovore. Ramljak ne istražuje samo okolnosti jednog nerazjašnjenog ubistva, već i postavlja teško pitanje o tačkama nakon kojih društva više ne mogu zaustaviti put prema sukobu. IDENTITET Slađane Lučić donosi priču o Ajni, Alenu i Lejli, čiji su životi obilježeni činjenicom da su začeti kao posljedica ratnih silovanja. Iako su na različite načine otkrivali istinu o svom porijeklu, povezuje ih isto iskustvo potrage za mjestom koje im pripada. Kroz njihove lične priče, arhivske materijale i autorsku opservaciju, film istražuje pitanje identiteta nakon traume i borbu da djeca rođena iz ratnog nasilja steknu status civilnih žrtava rata. SJETI SE JULIJE, kratki eksperimentalni film Diamantisa Anastasiadisa, donosi fragmente života Julije Bibe, grčke učiteljice i aktivistkinje, koja se pridružila Pokretu otpora protiv nacističke okupacije. U izvedbi grčke glumice Katie Goulioni, film ne gradi klasičan biografski portret, već istražuje šta ostaje od ljudi koji su se suprotstavili vremenu u kojem su živjeli i kako se njihovi izbori nastavljaju preispitivati kroz generacije. DOKTORICA Aleksandra Reljića kratki je dokumentarni film o životu doktorice Dušice Vujasić,

stomatologinje srpske nacionalnosti koja je tokom rata u Bosni i Hercegovini izabrala da ostane u opkoljenom Goraždu, odbijajući da napusti svoje pacijente i kolege. O mjestu Dušice Vujasić u kolektivnom sjećanju govori i činjenica da je ove godine jedna goraždanska ulica dobila njeno ime – čin koji je zabilježio i Reljić. HRONIKE IZ OPSADE palestinsko-sirijskog autora Abdallaha Al-Khatiba donosi priču o ljudima zarobljenim u gradu pod opsadom, suočenima s nestašicom, nasiljem i svakodnevnom borbom za opstanak. Inspirisan vlastitim iskustvom života pod opsadom izbjegličkog kampa Yarmouk, Al-Khatib slika zajednicu čiji se svakodnevni život mijenja pod pritiskom ekstremnih okolnosti. Nimalo slučajno, film zatvara ovogodišnji program: prema riječima samog autora, njegovo filmsko iskustvo opsade oblikovano je i sjećanjem na opsadu Sarajeva. Projekcijom ovog filma na Festivalu, koji je nastao kao izraz otpora opsadi Sarajeva, želimo podvući snažnu vezu između dva grada i dva iskustva koja, uprkos udaljenosti, dijele zajedničko pitanje – kako sačuvati ljudskost i dostojanstvo čovjeka.

E A young, urban social justice warrior struggles with the consequences of collective amnesia, which has completely erased the traces of his past. A war veteran, paralysed by a sense of responsibility and guilt for war crimes, cannot bring himself to return home to his family.

These are not synopses for films from this year’s Dealing with the Past programme. Rather, they are the plotlines of this summer’s top global blockbusters: SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY and Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY. This unexpected connection is the clearest indicator that collective memory, the consequences of violence, guilt, and the pursuit of redemption have fully entered the global cinematic mainstream. Themes once reserved for political and auteur cinema are now staples of popular culture. While Dealing with the Past cannot compete with Hollywood budgets, it stands out for the depth of the questions it poses. The 2026 edition of the programme, which is now entering its second decade, offers a powerful selection of films. From diverse historical and artistic perspectives, these works explore the legacy of conflict, the mechanisms of collective

memory, and the courage required to resist violence and discrimination. In her debut animated film, PARADAÏZ, Sarajevoborn Canadian artist Matea Radić uses absurdist humour and surreal traditional animation to bridge two worlds: the experience of a child fleeing war-torn Sarajevo, and the reality of an adult trying to understand what remains of that home. Fragments of memory and past imagery blend into a gentle story of loss and the search for belonging.

Slađana Lučić’s IDENTITY tells the deeply moving stories of Ajna, Alen, and Lejla, whose lives share a painful origin: they were born of wartime rape. Though they discovered the truth of their conception in different ways, they are united in their struggle to find their place in the world. Through personal testimonies, archives, and observational filmmaking, the documentary explores post-traumatic identity and the ongoing fight for children born of sexual violence to be officially recognised as civilian victims of war.

Lana Daher’s DO YOU LOVE ME is a documentary crafted entirely from archival material, including film footage, television reports, home videos, and photographs. Through these mediums, Daher explores the audiovisual memory of Lebanon and Beirut. Spanning seven decades, these fragments paint a portrait of a country whose past unfolds between moments of beauty, violence, and fierce resistance.

REMEMBER JULIA, a short experimental film by Diamantis Anastasiadis, presents fragments from the life of Ioulia Biba, a Greek Sunday school teacher and activist who joined the antiNazi resistance. Starring acclaimed actor Katie Goulioni, the film bypasses standard biographical portraiture to explore the lasting ripples left by those who defy the cruelty of their era, and how their choices continue to be questioned by subsequent generations.

THE MATCH, directed by Juan Cabral and Santiago Franco, revisits one of the most iconic football matches in history: the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarter-final between Argentina and England. The film reveals how this specific sporting event became a symbolic response to the Falklands/Malvinas War, illustrating how sports can transform into pillars of national identity and vessels for unresolved historical resentment.

Aleksandar Reljić’s short documentary THE DOCTOR chronicles the life of Dr. Dušica Vujasić, a Serbian dentist who chose to remain in besieged Goražde during the Bosnian War, refusing to abandon her patients and colleagues. The permanent mark she left on collective memory is cemented by a ceremony captured in the film, marking the naming of a Goražde street in her honour.

Starting with an interrogation of Germany’s culture of remembrance and her own family history, director Lea Galant explores how the memory of the Holocaust is preserved across generations in LANDSCAPES OF MEMORY. The film examines how such recall can be instrumentalised to justify new forms of exclusion, posing an uncomfortable but vital question: How do we responsibly memorialise the past without turning it into a justification for new injustices?

CHRONICLES FROM THE SIEGE, by PalestinianSyrian filmmaker Abdallah Al-Khatib, captures the daily struggle for survival of a people trapped in a besieged city facing severe shortages and relentless violence. Drawing from his own lived experience in the Yarmouk refugee camp, Al-Khatib portrays a community transformed under extreme duress. It is no coincidence that this film closes this 2026 programme. The filmmaker has noted that his portrayal of life under siege was also shaped by his memories of the Siege of Sarajevo. By screening this film at a festival born of resistance to that very siege, we underscore the unbreakable bond between two cities. Despite the physical distance that separates them, they share the ultimate human question, How do we preserve our dignity and humanity in the darkest of times?

Ivan Ramljak’s PEACEMAKER, continuing a phenomenal international festival run, confronts one of the most tragic episodes of the Yugoslav Wars: the assassination of Josip Reihl-Kir. As the chief of the Osijek Police Department, Reihl-Kir fiercely fought to prevent violence and keep negotiations alive. Ramljak goes beyond the unresolved circumstances of the murder to ask a difficult broader question: At what point does a society lose its ability to prevent conflict?

Chronicles From the Siege / Hronike iz opsade Nakon što je njihov grad stavljen pod opsadu, životi grupe običnih ljudi mijenjaju se iz temelja, prisiljavajući ih da se suoče s nemogućim izborima u nastojanju da prežive u ratnoj zoni. Meta napada su i njihova tijela i njihov um. Dok se nose s glađu, neadekvatnom medicinskom njegom, snajperskom vatrom i bombardiranjem, oni nastavljaju živjeti i tragati za prijateljstvom, ljubavlju, intimnošću i zadovoljstvom pušenja cigarete. Mala grupa ljubitelja filma, koja je sklonište pronašla u obližnjoj videoteci, suočava se s moralnom dilemom kada mora odlučiti hoće li spaliti iznajmljene filmske kasete – koje neizmjerno cijene – kako bi se ugrijali. Jedan od opkoljenih na svojim vratima hrabro zapisuje kako opsada utječe na mentalno zdravlje: “Ne mogu zamisliti svoj život van opsade niti kraj opsade van granica moga života.” Abdallah Alkhatib je palestinsko-sirijski filmski stvaralac. Studirao je sociologiju na Univerzitetu u Damasku i radio kao aktivista za ljudska prava. Trenutno živi i radi u Njemačkoj, gdje je nastavio studirati društvene nauke uporedo snimajući filmove. Snimio je dokumentarni film MALA PALESTINA 2021. godine, a HRONIKE IZ OPSADE njegov su prvi dugometražni igrani film. E When their city is placed under siege, the lives of a group of ordinary people are turned upside down, forcing each of them to confront impossible choices in pursuit of survival in a war zone. Bodies and minds are equally under attack; ordinary people are forced to reckon with starvation, inadequate medical treatment, snipers, and bomb blasts as they continue to live their lives, seeking friendship, love, intimacy, and the pleasure of smoking a cigarette. At one point, a small group of cinephiles who are sheltering in their neighbourhood video store are confronted with the moral conundrum of whether or not to burn the movies they have rented – and that they cherish – to keep warm. The psychological impact of the siege is boldly expressed in writing on the door of one of the characters’s homes: “I don’t see my life outside the confines of the siege. And I don’t see an end to the siege outside of the confines of my life.”

Abdallah Alkhatib is a Palestinian-Syrian filmmaker. He studied sociology at the University of Damascus and worked as a human rights activist. He currently lives and works in Germany, where he is continuing his studies in the social sciences alongside his work as a filmmaker. He made the documentary LITTLE PALESTINE in 2021. CHRONICLES FROM THE SIEGE is his feature-length fiction film debut.

Do You Love Me Film DA LI ME VOLIŠ lično je i razigrano putovanje kroz audiovizuelnu memoriju Libana, u cijelosti sastavljeno od arhivskih materijala. Film je ljubavno pismo Bejrutu koje obuhvata sedamdeset godina filmova, TV-programa, kućnih videosnimaka i fotografija i istražuje kolektivnu psihologiju Libana obilježenu radošću i intimom, uništenjem i gubitkom. Kroz vizuru običnih građana, filmskih stvaralaca i umjetnika, film rekonstruira fragmentiranu historiju zemlje bez državnog arhiva i slavi kreativni izraz kao čin otpora i obnove te kao sredstvo za čuvanje uspomena.

Doktorica / The Doctor Film DOKTORICA priča je o životu doktorice Dušice Vujasić, stomatologinje srpske nacionalnosti koja je tokom rata u Bosni i Hercegovini izabrala da ostane u opkoljenom Goraždu, odbijajući da napusti svoje pacijente i kolege, iako je za to imala brojne prilike. Kroz rijetke arhivske snimke, privatna pisma i iznimno dirljiva svjedočanstva preživjelih, članova njene porodice i njenih nekadašnjih kolega, film rekonstuira razornu realnost života pod opsadom. U trenutku kada su bolnice pod stalnim granatiranjem, a medicinske zalihe nestaju, jedna stomatologinja uveliko prevazilazi zahtjeve svoje profesije, njeguje ranjenike, prati pacijente na opasnim medicinskim evakuacijama i rizikuje život kako bi spasila druge bez obzira na njihovu nacionalnost. Aleksandar Reljić nagrađivani je filmski stvaralac, producent i novinar rođen u Beogradu 1974. godine. U svome radu bavi se temama kulture sjećanja, ljudskih prava, ratnih zločina, nacionalizma, ksenofobije i naslijeđa ratova u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Tokom svoje dvadesetogodišnje novinarske karijere bio je autor brojnih dokumentarnih filmova o historijskim sjećanjima i društvenoj pravdi. Prethodno je bio šef Odjela za dokumentarni i obrazovni program Radio-televizije Vojvodina, a od 2019. godine vodi nezavisnu produkcijsku kompaniju Core Dox, koja stoji iza međunarodno priznatih dokumentarnih filmova. Njegov dugometražni dokumentarni film ENKEL (2018) osvojio je brojne međunarodne nagrade i bio je nominiran za Nagradu Prix Evropa za najbolji TV-dokumentarac. Reljićevi filmovi prikazani su na brojnim međunarodnim festivalima i priznati su zbog svog istraživačkog pristupa, snažne humanističke perspektive i posvećenosti očuvanju historijske istine kroz specifične lične priče. E THE DOCTOR tells the extraordinary true story of Dr. Dušica Vujasić, a Serbian dentist who chose to remain in the besieged Bosnian town of Goražde during the Bosnian War, refusing to abandon her patients and colleagues despite having every opportunity to leave. Through rare archival footage, personal letters, and deeply moving testimonies from survivors, family members, and Vujasić’s former colleagues, the film reconstructs the devastating reality of life under siege. As hospitals collapse under constant shelling and medical supplies disappear, one dentist steps far beyond the limits of her profession, treating the wounded, accompanying dangerous medical evacuations, and risking her life to save others, regardless of their ethnicity.

Aleksandar Reljić was born in Belgrade in 1974. An award-winning documentary filmmaker, producer, and journalist, his work explores memory culture, human rights, war crimes, nationalism, xenophobia, and the legacy of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. Over the course of more than two decades in journalism and documentary filmmaking, he has directed numerous acclaimed documentaries focusing on historical memory and social justice.

El partido / Utakmica / The Match Film UTAKMICA donosi priču o legendarnoj utakmici između Engleske i Argentine odigranoj na stadionu Azteca tokom Svjetskog prvenstva u fudbalu 1986. godine. Služeći se rijetkim arhivskim snimcima, uključujući snimak Maradoninog kontroverznog gola “Božija ruka”, film rekonstruira taj događaj kao dio živućeg sjećanja, ali i kao kulminaciju više od dvjesto godina napetosti, susreta i sukoba između dvije nacije. Od samog početka susreta kojem je prethodio Falklandski rat, film prati historijsku nit koja mijenja kontekst događaja na terenu i na taj način suptilno suprotstavlja ljepotu fudbala dugotrajnoj apsurdnosti rata, dozvoljavajući i jednom i drugom da rezoniraju sve do današnjih dana. Juan Cabral cijenjeni je argentinski reditelj čiji je debitantski dugometražni film DVA/JEDAN premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu Tribeca. Njegov naredni dugometražni film RISA I VJETRENI TELEFON osvojio je nagrade za najbolji film i najboljeg reditelja u konkurenciji argentinskog filma na 40. izdanju Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Mar del Plati. Santiago Franco je filmski reditelj koji se školovao na Univerzitetu za film FUC. Na početku karijere snimio je seriju kratkih filmova, koji su prikazani i nagrađeni na prestižnim međunarodnim filmskim festivalima, uključujući BAFICI i Međunarodni filmski festival u Šangaju. E THE MATCH tells the story of the iconic football match between Argentina and England, played at the Azteca Stadium during the 1986 FIFA World Cup. Using rare archival footage, featuring for example Diego Maradona’s controversial hand of God goal, the film reconstructs the event as a living memory as well as the culmination of more than two hundred years of tension, encounters, and conflict between the two nations. From the earliest moments of contact and dispute to the Falklands War as a direct precursor, the film traces a historical journey that reframes what happened on the pitch. In doing so, it subtly contrasts the beauty of football with the lingering absurdity of war, allowing the echoes of both to resonate into the present day.

Juan Cabral is an acclaimed Argentine filmmaker whose debut feature, TWO/ONE, had its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. His second feature, RISA AND THE WIND PHONE, won the awards for Best Film and Best Director in the Argentine Competition at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival in 2025. Santiago Franco trained as a director at the Universidad del Cine (FUC) in Buenos Aires. He began his career with a series of short films that were won recognition and awards at various international festivals, including the Shanghai International Film Festival and BAFICI.

Identitet / Identity Ajna, Alen i Lejla začeti su kada su njihove majke silovane tokom rata. Ajnu je njena majka zadržala, dok su Alen i Lejla usvojeni. Njihovo odrastanje i životi su se razlikovali, na različite načine su saznali istinu o svome porijeklu, ali povezuje ih unutrašnji osjećaj koji drugi ljudi ne mogu razumjeti. Njihove priče prepliću se u njihovoj zajedničkoj borbi da se njima i drugima poput njih prizna status civilnih žrtava rata, vrlo ličnim potragama i javnim nastupima, pri čemu film kroz arhivske materijale i autorske opservacije propituje pitanja identiteta i traume, kao i mogućnost izgradnje zajednice i osjećaja pripadnosti. Slađana Lučić se više od dvadeset godina bavi novinarstvom. Još u vrijeme studiranja u Osijeku radila je kao vanjska saradnica dnevnih novina “Glas Slavonije” i “Jutarnji list” te na lokalnoj televiziji. Uskoro se u potpunosti odlučuje posvetiti televizijskom novinarstvu i prelazi na Hrvatsku radio-televiziju. Rad nastavlja u redakciji Vijesti RTL-a kao novinarka i urednica. Šest godina je živjela i radila u Sarajevu kao urednica vijesti Al Jazeere Balkans. Izvještavala je s brojnih regionalnih i svjetskih događaja, radila na edukaciji mladih novinara i medijskim treninzima za brojne nevladine organizacije. E Ajna, Alen, and Lejla were born after their mothers were raped in the war. Ajna was kept by her mother, while Alen and Lejla were adopted. They grew up and lived differently and learned the truth about their origins in various ways, but they are bound by an inner feeling that is incomprehensible to all other people. Their stories intertwine through the fight for the legal status of war victims, very personal searches and public appearances, while the film explores identity and trauma, as well as the possibilities of community and belonging, through archives and an observational approach.

Slađana Lučić has worked as a journalist for more than two decades. During her university studies in Osijek she worked a freelance contributor for daily newspapers “Glas Slavonije” and “Jutarnji List,” as well as for a local television station. She soon decided to focus on television journalism and started working for the Croatian public broadcaster HRT. From there, she moved to the news desk of the RTL, where she worked as a journalist and programme editor. For six years, she lived in Sarajevo, where she worked as a news editor for Al Jazeera Balkans. She has covered various regional and international stories as a reporter and has also trained young journalists and provided media training to various NGOs.

Landscapes of Memory / Predjeli sjećanja Kada je rediteljica Leah Galant 2021. godine napustila Ameriku i otputovala u Berlin, mislila je da učestvuje u tradicionalnom “povratku pripadnika treće generacije” s ciljem upoznavanja sudbine vlastite porodice u Holokaustu. Međutim, nedugo nakon što je privedena zbog snimanja propalestinskih demonstracija i optužena za antisemitizam, shvatila je da suočavanje s naslijeđenom traumom zahtijeva suočavanje sa sadašnjošću, a ne samo s prošlošću. Leah Galant je rediteljica s prebivalištem u New Yorku, a u svom radu se fokusira na neuobičajene priče koje preispituju uobičajene percepcije. Njen rediteljski prvenac NA RAZMEĐI premijerno je prikazan 2021. godine na Filmskom festivalu Tribeca. Učestvovala je u programu Sundance Ignite i bila je dobitnica stipendije “Jacob Burns” tokom razvoja filma DEATH METAL BAKA, koji je 2018. godine premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu South by Southwest u Austinu. Film je osvojio Nagradu za najbolji dokumentarni film u američkom paviljonu na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu i uvršten je u Op-Doc serijal dokumentarnih filmova “New York Timesa”.

E When director Leah Galant left the United States for Berlin in 2021, she thought she was going on a traditional “third-generation return” to uncover her family’s Holocaust history. After she was detained while filming a pro-Palestine demonstration, however, and subsequently charged with antisemitism, she quickly realised that confronting inherited trauma meant grappling with the present, not just the past.

Mia mikri istoria antistasis: Ioulia Biba / Sjeti se Julije / Remember Julia Juliju Bibu ispituje nacistički istražitelj. Dok istražitelj pokušava izvući korisne informacije o njenoj podzemnoj antinacističkoj organizaciji, Juliju preplavljuju sjećanja. Prisjeća se prizora dvoje djece koja su skinula nacističku zastavu s Akropole, što ju je potaknulo da se s entuzijazmom pridruži antinacističkom pokretu. Malo po malo, Julija se prisjeća svoje herojske prošlosti koja će zauvijek odjekivati kroz historiju. Diamantis Anastasiadis je reditelj i scenarist. Studirao je fiziku na Univerzitetu u Atini, a potom doktorirao teoretsku fiziku na Univerzitetu Le Mans u Francuskoj. Napisao je i korežirao niskobudžetni kratkometražni film SASTANAK koji je osvojio Nagradu publike na filmskom takmičenju “Džepni filmovi 2023. godine”. Kratki film SJETI SE JULIJE, koji je finansirao Helenski filmski i audiovizuelni centar (EKKOMED), snimio je 2026. godine. E Julia Biba is being interrogated by a Nazi investigator, who tries to extract useful information about her underground anti-Nazi organization. Meanwhile, her memories overwhelm her. Julia remembers a vision of two children who tore down the Nazi flag from the Acropolis and triggered her enthusiastic involvement in the anti-Nazi movement. Instant by instant, she revisits her heroic past, which will echo through history forever.

Diamantis Anastasiadis is a director and screenwriter. He studied physics at the University of Athens and holds a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Le Mans in France.

Mirotvorac / Peacemaker Godine 1991, na ulazu u Tenju, ubijen je Josip Reihl Kir, načelnik Osječke policije, čovjek posvećen pregovorima i izbjegavanju rata. MIROTVORAC je priča o posljednjih nekoliko mjeseci njegovog života u osvit krvavog hrvatsko-srpskog rata, koji je Kir svim silama pokušao spriječiti. Priča je ispričana kroz izjave nekoliko svjedoka i pomoću arhivskih materijala iz tog doba. I danas, nakon više od trideset godina, mnogi su elementi tog ubistva nerazjašnjeni, a mogući nalogodavci nepoznati. Ivan Ramljak, rođen 1974, filmski je reditelj i nezavisni kustos. Godine 2003. pokrenuo je Human Rights Film Festival Zagreb. Od 2013. do 2022. uređivao je i vodio Kratki utorak, program kratkog filma u kinu Tuškanac u Zagrebu, a od 2016. do 2023. bio je umjetnički direktor Tabor Film Festivala. Od 2022. jedan je od selektora za kratki film na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Rotterdamu, kao i skaut za dugometražne filmove s područja bivše Jugoslavije. Dosad je režirao devet kratkih, jedan srednjometražni i tri dugometražna filma, uglavnom dokumentarnog karaktera. Njegovi filmovi KINO OTOK, DOM BORACA, MEZOSTAJUN, O JEDNOJ MLADOSTI I EL SHATT - NACRT ZA UTOPIJU prikazani su na više od osamdeset festivala širom svijeta (IFFR, Cinéma du réel, Dok Leipzig, Sarajevo, Dokufest...), na kojima su osvojili niz nagrada. E In 1991, on the outskirts of Tenja in Croatia, Josip Reihl Kir – the chief of the Osijek Police Department, a man dedicated to negotiations and avoiding war – was assassinated. Told through the statements of witnesses and archival materials from the era, PEACEMAKER is a film about the last few months of his life, at the dawn of the bloody Croatian War of Independence, which Kir had been trying hard to prevent. Today, more than thirty years later, many elements of this assassination remain unclear, and the possible perpetrators are still unknown.

Ivan Ramljak is a filmmaker and independent curator, as well as one of the most significant Croatian documentarians, recognisable for his particular approach to historic issues. Born in 1974, in 2003 he founded the Human Rights Film Festival Zagreb. From 2013 to 2022, he edited and hosted Short Tuesday, a short film programme at the Tuškanac Cinema in Zagreb, and from 2016 to 2023, he was the artistic director of the Tabor Film Festival. Since 2022, he has been one of the short film programmers at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR), as well as a scout for feature films from the former Yugoslavia. To date, he has directed nine shorts, a medium-length film, and three features, mostly of a documentary nature. His films ISLANDS OF FORGOTTEN CINEMA, HOME OF THE RESISTANCE, MEZOSTAJUN, ONCE UPON A YOUTH, and EL SHATT – BLUEPRINT FOR UTOPIA have been screened at more than eighty festivals around the world, among them IFFR, Cinéma du réel, DOK Leipzig, the Sarajevo Film Festival, and DokuFest, where they have won a number of awards.

Uvod / Introduction Prošlo je već šest godina otkako je nastala ideja o programu Mreže festivala Jadranske regije, osmišljena u okolnostima koje su se u mnogo čemu razlikovale od današnjih. Ipak, ono što je tada započelo kao odgovor na izazove jednog vremena pokazalo se kao dugoročno održiv koncept koji iz godine u godinu raste, razvija se i potvrđuje svoju vrijednost. Prvo izdanje programa Mreže održano je 2021. godine, u jeku pandemije, kada su se regionalni filmski festivali, uz podršku programa Media Kreativne Evrope, prvi put udružili s ciljem jačanja regionalne saradnje. Od samog početka ideja nije bila samo unaprijediti organizacijsku i operativnu saradnju među festivalima, već stvoriti zajednički program koji će publici ponuditi filmove izvan uobičajenih festivalskih selekcija, ostvarenja izuzetne umjetničke vrijednosti i snažnog potencijala da komuniciraju sa širom publikom. Od početna četiri člana, Mreža danas okuplja šest festivala: Sarajevo Film Festival, Zagreb Film Festival, Festival autorskog filma, Međunarodni festival filmske fotografije “Braća Manaki”, Herceg Novi Film Festival i Ljubljana Film Festival. Paralelno s rastom Mreže razvijao se i njen program, zadržavajući pritom ono po čemu je najprepoznatljiviji – selekciju Mreže festivala za europsko otkriće, čiji se pobjednik bira glasovima publike svih šest festivala, a nagrađuje Adriatic Audience Award za podršku regionalnoj distribuciji filma. Ovogodišnja selekcija donosi pet evropskih filmova iz zemalja manjeg i srednjeg produkcijskog kapaciteta, a većina autora dobro je poznata publici Sarajevo Film Festivala. Bugarski reditelj Stephan Komandarev, čije smo filmove BLAGIN NAUK, PRAVCI i KRUGOVI prikazivali u Takmičarskom programu i programu U fokusu, vraća se u Sarajevo filmom MADE IN EU. Ova snažna socijalna drama, premijerno prikazana na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji, smještena je u bugarsku fabriku tokom pandemije, gdje jedna radnica biva proglašena “nultim pacijentom”. Kroz način na koji je zajednica tretira, film razotkriva brutalne mehanizme savremenog kapitalizma u kojem je običnom čovjeku oduzeto elementarno ljudsko dostojanstvo. Srodnim društvenim pitanjima, ali kroz potpuno drugačiju filmsku perspektivu, bavi se i KOKOŠ mađarskog autora Györgyja Pálfija. Ovaj hrabri narativni eksperiment prati kokošku koja uspijeva pobjeći iz klaonice i tokom lutanja gradom susreće kriminal, nasilje i različite manifestacije savremenog društva. Premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu, film kroz nesvakidašnju protagonisticu donosi uzbudljivu i slojevitu refleksiju o svijetu u kojem živimo. Pálfi se tako vraća u Sarajevo gotovo dvije decenije nakon što je publiku osvojio kultnim filmom TAXIDERMIA. Bugarski autorski tandem Petar Valchanov i Kristina Grozeva predstavit će film CRNI NOVAC ZA BIJELE NOĆI, dramu s elementima crne komedije

216 32. Sarajevo Film Festival l NAGRADA PUBLIKE JADRANSKE REGIJE

o starijem bračnom paru koji očajnički pokušava prikupiti novac za putovanje na kojem žele doživjeti Bijele noći. Dok se rat u Ukrajini približava, turistička agencija, preko koje su uplatili putovanje, propada, a njihov novac nestaje zajedno s nadama koje su godinama gradili. Ostavljeni bez sigurnosti, prisiljeni su suočiti se s vlastitim životima, odnosom i prošlošću. Film dolazi u Sarajevo neposredno nakon svjetske premijere na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Karlovym Varyma. Iz Karlovyh Vary stiže i VIDIM SAMO LIJEPE STVARI slovačkog reditelja Ivana Ostrochovskog, dobitnika FIPRESCI nagrade. Film otvara jednu od najmračnijih epizoda novije historije tadašnje Čehoslovačke, sistemsku prisilnu sterilizaciju Romkinja, koju je država finansirala i provodila tokom osamdesetih godina. Ostrochovský ovoj temi pristupa iz perspektive medicinske radnice koja svoj posao doživljava kao čin pomoći, sve dok ne razvije blizak odnos s jednom od pacijentica, što dovodi u pitanje sve u što je dotad vjerovala. Novo autorsko ime u programu Mreže je belgijska rediteljica Muriel d’Ansembourg, čiji je debitantski film ISTINSKI OGOLJEN premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. Ova nekonvencionalna drama o odrastanju suočava nas s jednom od najvećih tabu tema savremenog društva – pornografijom. Kroz psihološki nijansiran portret dječaka koji pomaže ocu, nekadašnjoj porno-zvijezdi, u snimanju i montaži njegovih filmova, autorica istražuje odnos između normalizacije i emocionalne distance, između svijeta u kojem je odrastao i osobe kakva zapravo želi postati. Pored ove selekcije, program Mreže i ove godine donosi naslov u okviru programa Ecoscope, posvećenog filmovima koji se bave ekološkim temama kroz umjetnički relevantan i društveno angažiran pristup. Ovogodišnji izbor je TOPLJENJE austrijskog autora Nikolausa Geyrhaltera koji se vraća u program Mreže nakon što smo prije dvije godine prikazali njegov film VAN PROSTORA I VREMENA. TOPLJENJE je vizuelno impresivan dokumentarac o snijegu i ledu te njihovom ubrzanom nestajanju usljed klimatskih promjena, kao i o posljedicama koje taj proces ostavlja na prirodu i život na Zemlji. Jedno od temeljnih programskih opredjeljenja Mreže jeste očuvanje zajedničkog filmskog nasljeđa kroz program Jugoslovenski klasici. Cilj ovog programa je vratiti publici filmove iz zajedničkih arhiva i podsjetiti na bogatu kinematografsku tradiciju regije na kojoj počiva i savremena filmska produkcija. Ovogodišnji program, koji Sarajevo Film Festival realizira u saradnji s programom BH Film, donosi izbor kratkih filmova Ivice Matića, kao i restauriranu kopiju filma DERVIŠ I SMRT Zdravka Velimirovića iz 1974. godine, antologijske ekranizacije istoimenog romana Meše Selimovića.

E It has been six years since the birth of the idea to launch a programme of the Network of Festivals of the Adriatic Region (NFAR), which was conceived under completely different circumstances than those we face at present. Nevertheless, what began as a response to the challenges of a specific moment in time turned out to be a sustainable, long-term concept that continues to expand and prove its worth year after year.

The first edition of the NFAR programme was presented in 2021, at the height of the global pandemic when regional film festivals, supported by the Creative Europe MEDIA programme, joined forces to foster cooperation. From the start, the idea was not just to improve the organisational and operative cooperation between the festivals but to create a shared programme to showcase films of exceptional artistic value that typically do not make festival selection, and a strong potential to communicate with a wider audience. Initially a gathering of four festivals, NFAR now includes six members: the Sarajevo Film Festival, the Zagreb Film Festival, the Belgrade Auteur Film Festival, the Manaki Brothers International Cinematographers’ Film Festival, the Herceg Novi Film Festival, and the Ljubljana Film Festival. As the network expanded, so did its programme; what has been maintained is its prominent European Discovery section, in which the winning title receives the Adriatic Audience Award in support of its regional distribution, and whcih is decided through the combined votes of audiences of all six member festivals. This year, the selection includes five European films from countries with limited or moderate production capacity, most of whose directors are well known by Sarajevo Film Festival audiences. Bulgarian director Stephan Komandarev, whose previous films BLAGA’S LESSONS, DIRECTIONS, and ROUNDS screened in our Competition and In Focus programmes, returns to Sarajevo with his latest film, MADE IN EU. This powerful social drama, which had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, is set in a Bulgarian factory during the pandemic. In the film, the treatment of a female factory worker found to be patient zero in the local coronavirus outbreak reveals the brutal mechanisms of modern capitalism, in which ordinary people are deprived of their basic human dignity. HEN, by Hungarian filmmaker György Pálfi, explores a similar theme from a different perspective. A brave narrative experimental film, it follows a hen that escapes from a slaughterhouse and, while wandering through town, encounters crime, violence, and various other manifestations of contemporary society. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and its unusual main protagonist offer an exciting, multilayered reflection of the world we live in. Pálfi returns to Sarajevo nearly two decades after captivating audiences with his cult film TAXIDERMIA.

Bulgarian creative duo Petar Valchanov and Kristina Grozeva present their darkly comedic drama BLACK MONEY FOR WHITE NIGHTS, which follows an elderly couple in their desperate attempts to gather money for their dream trip to St. Petersburg to witness the White Nights. As the war on Ukraine comes closer, the travel agency they have been paying vanishes – along with their savings and their hope of seeing their long-awaited dream come true. Left without a sense of security, they forced to confront their lives, their relationship, and their past. The film arrive in Sarajevo straight after its world premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. ONLY BEAUTIFUL THINGS TO LOOK AT, by Slovak director and FIPRESCI Prize winner Ivan Ostrochovský, also arriving in Sarajevo from Karlovy Vary, sheds light on one of the darkest episodes of Czechoslovak history: the statefunded and implemented forced sterilisation of Roma women in the 1980s. Ostrochovský tells the story from the perspective of a medical worker who perceives her work as helpful until she establishes a close relationship with one of her patients and starts questioning everything she used to believe in. Bulgarian director Muriel d’Ansembourg, whose debut feature TRULY NAKED premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival, is the newcomer in the programme. Her unconventional coming-of-age drama confronts us with one of the great taboos of modern society – pornography. Through a nuanced psychological portrait of a boy who helps his father, a former porn star, with filming and editing of his adult content, the director explores the relationship between the normalisation of sexual exploitation and emotional distance, between the world the protagonist grew up in and the person he wants to become. Alongside the competition line-up, the NFAR programme once again includes the Ecoscope section, which is dedicated to artistically relevant and socially engaged environmental films. Our choice this year is MELT by Austrian filmmaker Nikolaus Geyrhalter, who returns to the programme two years after it featured his MATTER OUT OF PLACE. MELT is a visually impressive documentary about snow, ice, and the increasing speed of their disappearance due climate change, as well as about the impact of that process on the natural environment and life on Earth. One of NFAR’s core programming ambitions is the preservation of the shared film heritage through our section dedicated to the classic films of the former Yugoslavia. The aim of this section is to reintroduce the audience to the rich filmmaking tradition of our region, works that serve as the foundation of our contemporary film production. This year, in a section prepared by the Sarajevo Film Festival in cooperation with the BH Film programme, we present a selection of short films by Ivica Matić as well as the restoration of Zdravko Velimirović’s 1974 anthology film THE DERVISH AND DEATH, which is based on Meša Selimović’s celebrated novel of the same name.

Cherni pari za beli noshti / Crni novac za bijele noći / Black Money for White Nights Marina, medicinska sestra na porodiljnom odjelu, i njen suprug Goša, dispečer vozova, godinama su primali mito male vrijednosti kako bi uštedjeli novac za svoj put iz snova u Sankt Peterburg tokom Bijelih noći. Kada nakon ruske invazije na Ukrajinu putnička agencija nestane s njihovom ušteđevinom, njihov san i privid kontrole nad situacijom se urušavaju. Goša završava u bolnici nakon što ga prebiju prilikom pokušaja da vrati novac, a na površinu isplivava stara izdaja koja prisiljava par da se suoči s lažima na kojima su gradili život i da u ruševinama pokušaju pronaći tragove dostojanstva i milosti. Kristina Grozeva je bugarska scenaristica, rediteljica i producentica. Petar Valčanov je bugarski pisac i režiser. Sarađuju od filmske škole.

CRNI NOVAC ZA BIJELE NOĆI, njihov najnoviji film, premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Kristalni globus 60. Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Karlovym Varyma. E Marina, a maternity nurse, and her husband Gosha, a railway dispatcher, have spent years collecting small bribes to be able to afford their dream trip to St. Petersburg to witness the White Nights. When Russia invades Ukraine and the travel agency vanishes with their savings, their dream — and the illusion of control — collapses. Gosha ends up in the hospital, beaten while trying to recover the money and long-buried betrayals surface, forcing the couple to confront the lies their life was built on and to search among the ruins for a trace of dignity and grace.

Kristina Grozeva is a Bulgarian writer, director, and producer. Petar Valchanov is a Bulgarian writer and director. They have worked together since they attended film school.

Kota / Kokoš / Hen “S velikom moći dolazi i velika odgovornost”, ali šta ako je heroj obična kokoš? Nakon bjekstva s farme pilića, kokoš pronalazi sklonište u dvorištu oronulog restorana. Tamo otkriva ljubav, suprotstavlja se hijerarhiji i bori se da zaštiti svoja jaja od pohlepnog vlasnika. Njen zabavan, ali istovremeno dirljiv pokušaj da postane majka, podsjeća na neprijatne kompromise i tihe borbe ljudi. György Pálfi rođen je u Budimpešti, gde je studirao na Univerzitetu za pozorišnu i filmsku umetnost. Njegov debitantski igrani film HUKKLE, koji je međunarodnu premijeru imao 2002. godine na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u San Sebastiánu, osvojio je nagradu Evropsko otkriće – Prix Fassbinder Evropske filmske akademije.

Njegov najnoviji film KOKOŠ 2025. godine premijerno je prikazan u takmičarskom programu Platform Prize Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Torontu, gde je osvojio Specijalno priznanje. E “With great power comes great responsibility” – but what if the hero is just a hen? Escaping from a chicken farm, she finds refuge in the courtyard of a crumbling restaurant. There, she discovers love, confronts the pecking order, and fights to protect her eggs from a greedy owner. Her droll yet touching quest for motherhood mirrors the messy compromises and silent struggles of human lives.

His debut feature, HUKKLE, had its premiered at the San Sebastián International Film Festival in 2002 and won the European Discovery – Fassbinder Award at the European Film Awards.

Made in EU Iva radi u fabrici odjeće u Bugarskoj i bori se s upornom, misterioznom bolešću. Kada se ustanovi da je prva osoba zaražena koronavirusom u malom gradu u kojem radi i živi, vijest se širi poput požara. Uprkos činjenici da godinama nigdje nije putovala, Iva postaje meta neprekidnih optužbi. Najprije je napada vlasnik fabrike, želeći izbjeći vlastitu odgovornost, a ubrzo mu se pridružuju Ivine kolege, njen sin, te na kraju cijela zajednica. Javne osude Ive eskaliraju s pojavom prvih žrtava virusa, što dovodi do njenog potpunog izopćenja iz društva. Stephan Komandarev je nagrađivani reditelj brojnih dokumentarnih i igranih filmova. Među njegovim dugometražnim ostvarenjima ističu se SVIJET JE VELIK I SPAS JE IZA UGLA, premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu 2008, SMJERNICE, premijerno prikazan u programu Izvjestan pogled na Filmskom festivalu u Cannesu 2017, U KRUG, premijerno prikazan na Sarajevo Film Festivalu 2019. i i BLAGINA POUKA, dobitnik nagrada Kristalni globus za najbolji film i najbolju glumicu na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Karlovym Varyma 2023. godine.

E Iva, who works in a clothing factory in rural Bulgaria, is battling a persistent, mysterious illness. When it is revealed that she has contracted the first case of COVID in her small town, the news spirals into an endless j’accuse – first from the factory owners eager to shift responsibility, then from her fellow co-workers, her son, and eventually the entire community, despite the fact that Iva hasn’t left her small town in years. With her public demonisation escalating as the first victims of the virus emerge, Iva is quickly turned into a social outcast.

Prameň / Vidim samo lijepe stvari / Only Beautiful Things to Look At Elegantna doktorica Ingrid radi u zabačenoj okružnoj bolnici sredinom osamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća. Zarobljena u iscrpljujućem braku i monotonoj karijeri, Ingrid većinu svoga vremena posvećuje pacijentima. Na svijet donosi bebe i vrši pobačaje. Također sterilizira Romkinje ne predočavajući im stvarne posljedice zahvata. Nakon što se sprijatelji s Agátom, mladom i slobodoumnom ženom kojoj je nadređena, Ingrid svijet oko sebe počinje gledati drugim očima. Hoće li početi preispitivati pravila koja je do tada bez razmišljanja slijedila? Ivan Ostrochovský je korežirao dugometražni dokumentarni film PLIŠANI TERORISTI, koji je premijerno prikazan 2014. godine u programu Forum Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Berlinu. Već naredne godine u isti program se vraća s dugometražnim igranim prvencem KOZA. Njegov drugi igrani film SLUGE uvršten je 2020. godine u takmičarski program Encounters na festivalu u Berlinu. Ostrochovský potpisuje režiju i koautorstvo na scenariju za film 107 MAJKI, koji mu je donio Nagradu za najbolji scenarij u programu Horizonti na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji 2023. godine. Na istom festivalu, u programu Dani autora, premijerno je prikazan i njegov hibridni projekat FOTOFOBIJA. Njegovo najnovije ostvarenje VIDIM SAMO LIJEPE STVARI zabilježilo je premijeru u glavnom takmičarskom programu Kristalni globus ovogodišnjeg izdanja Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Karlovym Varyma. E Ingrid, an elegant doctor, works in a remote district hospital in the mid-1980s. Trapped in an exhausting marriage and a stagnant career, she devotes most of her time to her patients. She delivers babies and performs abortions. She also carries out sterilisations on Romani women — without them fully understanding the consequences. A new friendship with Agáta, a young and free-spirited orderly, compels Ingrid to see things in a different light. Will she begin to question the rules she has so far followed with indifference?

Ivan Ostrochovský co-directed the feature-length documentary VELVET TERRORISTS, which had its premiere in the Forum section of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2014. A year later, he returned to Forum with his debut fiction feature, KOZA. His second feature, SERVANTS, was presented in the Encounters competition of the Berlinale in 2020. Ostrochovský is the author and co-screenwriter of 107 MOTHERS, for which he received the Best Screenplay Award in the Orizzonti section at the Venice Film Festival in 2023. His hybrid project PHOTOPHOBIA premiered in the Giornate degli Autori section in Venice.

Truly Naked / Istinski ogoljen Alec je blag i povučen tinejdžer koji je oduvijek posmatrao život kroz prizmu očevog malog pornografskog biznisa. Selidba iz Londona u uspavani primorski gradić za njega predstavlja šansu za novi početak – priliku da stekne prijatelje pred kojima ne mora otkriti istinu o svom nekonvencionalnom životu. Sve se mijenja kada upozna izrazito nezavisnu Ninu, čija uvjerenja redefinišu svijet u kojem je odrastao. Kako se njihova veza produbljuje, Alecov doživljaj seksualnosti i žudnje počinje se mijenjati. Muriel d’Ansembourg je magistrirala na Londonskoj školi filma. Njeni kratkometražni filmovi prikazani su na više od dvjesto međunarodnih festivala i osvojili su trideset šest nagrada. Među njima se izdvaja film LAKU NOĆ, nominiran za nagradu BAFTA, kao i film POJEBI OBOŽAVATELJA, koji je nakon premijere na Filmskom festivalu Tribeca pobrao pohvale zbog neustrašivog i iskrenog prikaza ženske seksualnosti. Njen igrani prvenac ISTINSKI OGOLJEN premijerno je prikazan u programu Perspektive na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2026. godine. E Alec, a soft-spoken, introverted teenager, has always viewed life through the lens of his father’s small-time pornography business. When they relocate from London to a sleepy seaside town, Alec hopes for a fresh start, trying to make friends without revealing his unconventional life. Everything shifts when he meets the fiercely independent Nina, whose convictions redefine the world he has grown up in. As their relationship deepens, Alec’s understanding of sexuality and desire begins to shift.

Muriel d’Ansembourg obtained a master’s degree from the London Film School. Her short films have screened in more than two hundred international festivals and won thirty-six awards. GOOD NIGHT was nominated for a BAFTA; FUCK-A-FAN had its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival and was praised for its fearless, honest depiction of female sexuality. TRULY NAKES, her debut feature-length film, premiered in the Perspectives section of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2026.

Derviš i smrt / The Dervish And Death Ahmed Nurudin, sredovječni derviš i upravitelj tekije u osmanskoj Bosni, dobiva vijesti o hapšenju njegovog brata iz političkih razloga. Pokušavajući pomoći bratu, Ahmed se suočava s vlašću i društvom, pri čemu biva poljuljan njegov dotadašnji svjetonazor i način života. Osim psihološke problematike film prikazuje filozofska pitanja vezana uz ljudski život, društvo i politiku. Zdravko Velimirović was a Yugoslav film, television, radio, and theatre director and screenwriter.

Atlasul universului / Atlas svemira / Atlas of the Universe Desetogodišnji Filip s ocem putuje u obližnji grad kako bi kupili nove cipele za školu. Kada očevu pažnju zaokupi susret sa starim prijateljem, Filip je prisiljen sam nastaviti putovanje. Jednostavna greška u prodavnici cipela – kupovina dviju desnih cipela – označit će početak Filipove neočekivane avanture u nepoznatom svijetu. Previše postiđen da se kući vrati praznih ruku, Filip odlučuje sam riješiti problem. Putem se sprijateljuje s psom lutalicom, naziva ga po svome omiljenom fudbaleru i pronalazi neočekivanog prijatelja. Paul Negoescu autor je kratkometražnih filmova koji su premijerno prikazani na vodećim filmskim festivalima, uključujući festivale u Cannesu, Berlinu, Karlovym Varyma i Rotterdamu. Dva njegova kratka filma nominirana su za nagrade Evropske filmske akademije. Njegov debitantski dugometražni film MJESEC DANA NA TAJLANDU premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Veneciji, dok je drugi dugometražni film DVA TIKETA ZA LUTRIJU postao jedan od najgledanijih filmova u rumunskim kinima, a dobio je i odlične ocjene filmske kritike te je međunarodno distribuiran. Negoescu potom snima nastavak tog filma TIKETI ZA LUTRIJU DVA. S filmom MUŠKARCI OD DJELA osvojio je glavne nagrade na dodjeli nagrada rumunske filmske industrije, uključujući one za najbolji film, najbolju režiju, najbolji scenarij i najboljeg glumca. Njegov najnoviji film ATLAS SVEMIRA premijerno je prikazan u programu Generacija Kplus na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu 2026. godine. E Ten-year-old Filip travels with his father to the nearest town to buy new shoes for school. When his father gets sidetracked by an old friend, Filip is left to continue the journey alone. A simple mistake at the shoe shop – buying two right-foot shoes – sets him on an unexpected adventure through an unfamiliar world. Too ashamed to return home empty-handed, Filip decides to fix the problem himself. Along the way, he befriends a stray dog, names him after his favourite football player, and finds an unlikely companion.

Paul Negoescu’s short films have premiered at major festivals including the Festival de Cannes, the Berlin and Karlovy Vary International Film Festivals, and the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Two of them were nominated for the European Film Awards. His debut feature, A MONTH IN THAILAND, premiered at the Venice Film Festival. His second, TWO LOTTERY TICKETS, became one of the most successful Romanian films at the box office, was well received by critics and festivals, and was distributed internationally, leading to a sequel, LOTTERY TICKETS TOO. MEN OF DEEDS won the top prizes at the Romanian Film Industry Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor. ATLAS OF THE UNIVERSE, his most recent film, had its premiere in the Generation Kplus section of the Berlinale in 2026.

Koning van de Zwervers / Kralj skitnica / King of the Wanderers Jedanaestogodišnja Meissy je oduševljena kada se njen otac, nakon godina odsustva, pojavi u gradu. Suprotno željama svoje majke, Meissy ga tajno posjećuje i fascinirana je njegovim živopisnim životom skitnice ispunjenim maštom, origami ždralovima i posebnim susretima. Ali onda otkriva ono na što ju je majka upozoravala: njen otac je šizofreničar, ima halucinacije i grandiozne deluzije. Janne Schmidt, holandska rediteljica igranih i dokumentarnih filmova, osvojila je nagrade na festivalima Shortcutz Amsterdam i World Wide 48HFP u Cannesu.

E When eleven-year-old Meissy’s father reappears after years of absence, she is thrilled. Against her mother’s wishes, Meissy secretly visits him and is enchanted by his colourful, wandering life on the streets, full of fantasy, origami cranes, and special encounters. Then she discovers what her mother has been warning her about: her father is schizophrenic and suffers from hallucinations and delusions of grandeur.

Janne Schmidt is a Dutch director of fiction and documentary films. Her work has won awards at Shortcutz Amsterdam and the World Wide 48HFP Festival in Cannes.

Not a Hero / Nisam heroj Jedanaestogodišnji Mivan, odrastao u gradu, poslan je na selo svojoj mladoj tetki Pahi. Naviknut na užurbanost i udobnost gradskog života, seoski život doživljava kao spor, stran i teško prihvatljiv. Njegov odnos s Pahi je uzdržan, oblikovan neizgovorenim zamjerkama i neriješenim osjećajima iz prošlosti. Dok se postupno prilagođava seoskoj rutini, pohađa školu i stječe nove prijatelje, Mivan počinje iskušavati svijet u kojem vrijeme teče drugačijim tempom i gdje se ništa ne postiže lako. Rima Das autorica je filmova prikazanih na preko 150 svjetskih festivala i dobitnica više od 75 nagrada. Više njenih filmova učestvovalo je na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu.

Bila je članica žirija programa Generacija 14plus 2020. godine, a šest godina kasnije, u istom programu, premijerno je prikazan njen najnoviji film NISAM HEROJ. E Eleven-year-old Mivan, raised in the city, is sent to his ancestral village to stay with his young Aunt Pahi. Used to the speed and comforts of urban life, he finds the village slow, unfamiliar, and difficult to accept. His relationship with Pahi is distant, shaped by unspoken tensions and unresolved feelings from the past. As Mivan is drawn into village routines, school, and new friendships, he begins to experience a world where time moves differently and nothing comes easily.

Rima Das’s films have screened at more than 150 festivals around the world and won more than seventy-five awards. They have also been presented a number of times at the Berlin International Film Festival: BULBUL CAN SING received a Special Mention in the Generation 14plus section; VILLAGE ROCKSTARS 2 screened in the same section.

Becaària Godina je 1977. Šesnaestogodišnji Mario živi u malom selu u Ticinu, italijanskom dijelu Švicarske. Dok se društvo oko njega ubrzano mijenja, on proživljava svoje prve simpatije, ima problema u školi i neprestano se sukobljava s ocem koji ga, naizgled, ne razumije. Kada ga pošalju u planine da tokom ljeta radi kao farmer, neočekivani susreti pomoći će mu da nauči o životu, ljubavi i, najvažnije, o samom sebi. Erik Bernasconi je reditelj i scenarist igranih i dokumentarnih filmova. Autor je brojnih kratkometražnih filmova, tri dugometražna igrana filma (SINESTESIA, FUORI MIRA i BECAÀRIA) te nekoliko filmskih i televizijskih dokumentaraca i serije ALTER EGO. E 1977. Sixteen-year-old Mario lives in a small village in Ticino, Italian-speaking Switzerland. While around him society is shifting in many ways, he lives through his first awkward crushes, has trouble in school, and constantly clashes with his father, who just doesn’t seem to get him. When he is sent off to the mountains to work on a farm for the summer, some unexpected encounters will teach him a lot about life, love, and – most importantly – about himself.

Erik Bernasconi is a director and screenwriter active in both fiction and documentaries. Besides various shorts, he has made three feature-length fiction films – SINESTESIA, FUORI MIRA, and BECAÀRIA, several documentaries for cinema and television, and the series ALTER EGO.

Iako s radošću iščekuje početak srednje škole, njen društveni život dramatično se mijenja kada se najbolji prijatelj Matic odseli u Englesku, a njen prvi dečko Rok izda njeno povjerenje na školskom plesu. Kada joj majku, zajedno s kolegama, iznenada otmu u Ivirisu, ratom razorenoj zemlji u koju je otputovala da bi pomagala djeci, Gaja, njen otac i porodični prijatelj, inspektor Hace, angažuju Alexa – kriminalca na odsluženju zatvorske kazne – da spasi taoce.

Vénéranda, koja je preživjela genocid, vodi dijalog između žrtava i porodica počinitelja, pomažući drugima da obnove svoje živote i okrenu se budućnosti.

Gharaq / Potonuće / Sink Nakon što joj sina tinejdžera suspenduju iz škole zbog uznemirujućeg ispada u završnoj godini obrazovanja, Nadia sebe uvjerava da je momku samo potrebna uputa te je odlučna da mu pomogne. Ali, dok se Basilovo mentalno stanje sve više pogoršava, Nadia ignoriše znakove upozorenja i tone sve dublje u poricanje pred nadolazećom katastrofom.

Souraya Mon Amour Film SOURAYA MON AMOUR uvodi gledaoce u intiman svijet Souraye Baghdadi, ispunjen plesom, filmom, meditacijom, uspomenama i dubokim refleksijama. Priča počinje 1981. godine, tokom snimanja filma MALI RATOVI u ratom razorenom Bejrutu, gdje je Souraya odigrala glavnu ulogu. Nakon premijere filma u Cannesu, Souraya i Maroun sele se u Pariz i započinju zajednički život. U decembru 1993. Maroun iznenada umire pod misterioznim okolnostima, u trenutku kada je Souraya trudna s njihovim trećim djetetom. Tri decenije kasnije, Souraya se prisjeća fragmenata nekada suspendovanog života. Kroz razgovore na daljinu, nježne arhivske materijale i trenutke introspekcije, otkriva se ljubavna priča koja ukazuje na krhku napetost veze oblikovane prisutnošću, ali još više odsutnošću. Nicolas Khoury, nezavisni filmski stvaralac iz Bejruta, autor je nagrađivanih kratkometražnih, srednjometražnih i dugometražnih dokumentarnih filmova. Njegov kratki dokumentarni film REZONANCA osvojio je Nagradu za najbolji kratki dokumentarac na festivalu It’s All True (Brazil, 2018) i Nagradu Tanit d’Or na Filmskom festivalu u Kartagi (Tunis, 2018). Tri godine kasnije, prvi dugometražni dokumentarac FIJASKO premijerno je prikazan na Međunarodnom festivalu dokumentarnog filma u Kopenhagenu, a potom i na više od petnaest drugih festivala, osvojivši dvije nagrade na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Kairu. E SOURAYA MON AMOUR invites us into the private world of Souraya Baghdadi – a world filled

with dance, film, meditation, memories, and deep reflection. Her story with her husband, Maroun, began in 1981 during the filming of LITTLE WARS in war-torn Beirut, when Souraya played the lead role. After the film had its premiere at Cannes, they moved to Paris and started a life together. But in December 1993, Maroun died suddenly and mysteriously, just as Souraya was expecting their third child. Three decades later, Souraya revisits the fragments of a life suspended. Through distant conversations, tender archives, and moments of introspection, a love story unfolds, unveiling the fragile tension of a bond shaped by presence – and even more profoundly, by absence. Nicolas Khoury is an independent filmmaker based in Beirut. His award-winning work spans independent films across short, medium-, and feature-length documentaries. His short documentary RESONANCES won the award for Best Short Documentary at the It’s All True International Documentary Festival in Brazil and the Tanit d’Or at the Carthage Film Festival in 2018. In 2021, his first feature-length documentary FIASCO premiered at CPH:DOX and went on to screened at nearly twenty international festivals, winning two awards at the Cairo International Film Festival.

Yesterday the Eye Didn’t Sleep / Oko jučer nije spavalo U tihoj, maglovitoj dolini Bekaa, na granici između Libana i Sirije, neko je zapalio kamion. Članica čvrsto povezane beduinske zajednice Gamra je nestala. Možda se skriva, a možda bježi. U potrazi za njom, njen rođak Yasser pregazi člana konkurentskog plemena. Odlučeno je da njegove sestre Rim i Jawaher budu ponuđene kao žrtve i odu u noć. Da li će njihova žrtva biti dovoljna da očuva krhki balans ili će plamen progutati čitavo selo? Rakan Mayasi nezavisni je palestinski filmski stvaralac, a trenutno živi na potezu između Brisela i Bejruta. Odrastao je u jordanskom Amanu, a potom je studirao film, pozorište i psihologiju u Libanu. Nakon prvog kratkog filma ROUBAMA napisao je, režirao i producirao još nekoliko. Njegov film BONBONÉ imao je svjetsku premijeru 2017. godine na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu i osvojio je 35 nagrada za najbolji kratki film na festivalima širom svijeta. Njegov kratki film TRUBE NA NEBU 2021. godine osvojio je Počasno priznanje na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Torontu, gdje je imao svjetsku premijeru. JUČER OKO NIJE SPAVALO njegov prvi dugometražni film, premijerno je prikazan u programu Izvjestan pogled Filmskog festivala u Cannesu 2026. godine. E In the quiet fog of the Beqaa Valley, on the border between Lebanon and Syria, someone sets fire to a truck. In this tightly woven Bedouin community, Gamra is gone, maybe hiding – maybe running. As her cousin Yasser sets out to find her, he runs over a man from a rival tribe. His sisters Rim and Jawaher are chosen to walk into the night as an offering. Will their sacrifice be enough to preserve the fragile balance, or will this burning flame spread through the entire village?

Rakan Mayasi is an independent Palestinian filmmaker, currently based between Brussels and Beirut. He grew up in Amman and went on to study cinema, theatre, and psychology in Lebanon. Since making his first short film, ROUBAMA, in 2012, he has written, directed, and produced several short films. BONBONÉ had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2017 and went on to win thirty-five award for Best Short Film at film festivals worldwide. In 2021, his short TRUMPETS IN THE SKY won an honourable mention upon its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. YESTERDAY THE EYE DIDN’T SLEEP, his debut feature film, had its premiere in the Un Certain Regard section at the Festival de Cannesin 2026.

U maloj džamiji upoznajemo Fahada i njegovog djeda imama. Fahad ima masnicu na oku i sve što želi jeste da izbjegne pitanja rodbine i sukob. Iako žive u modernom Kataru, Fahadova konzervativna porodica nema potrebne komunikacijske vještine za otvorenu diskusiju, pa su prisiljeni smišljati vlastite priče i pretpostavke o tome šta Fahad zaista radi noću.

Duboko introspektivna priča filma PALMINA GRANA prati ženu koja se bori s ljubavlju, gubitkom i misterijama mora. Na plaži, u crvenoj haljini, ona stoji odbrambeno okrenuta prema valovima koji se lome o obalu. Kod kuće, odjekuju razgovori s mužem u kojima se isprepliću stare istine i narodne priče o ženama iz Perzijskog zaljeva koje su kaznile more tako što su ga zapalile. Mahdi Ali Ali je katarski filmski stvaralac i kreativni producent čiji rad spaja poetske prizore s promišljanjima o identitetu, sjećanju i ljudskim vezama. Živi na relaciji Doha – Pariz – Los Angeles i predstavlja novu generaciju arapskih reditelja koji svojim ličnim i vizuelno prepoznatljivim djelima transformišu kinematografiju zaljevske regije. E A deeply introspective tale unfolds as a woman grapples with love, loss, and the mysteries of the sea. On a beach, she stands in a red dress, her demeanour defensive against the crashing waves. At home, conversations with her husband echo, weaving between past truths and fantastical folklore about the women of the Arabian Gulf who punished the sea by burning it. Mahdi Ali Ali is a Qatari filmmaker and creative producer whose work blends poetic imagery with reflections on identity, memory, and human connection. Based between Doha, Paris, and Los Angeles, he represents a new generation of Arab directors who are redefining Gulf cinema through personal and visually distinctive storytelling. A founder of the Doha Film Institute’s education programmes, Ali’s debut short film CHAMPS-ÉLYSÉES, I LOVE YOU introduced his lyrical style, which merges realism and metaphor to explore cultural displacement and silence. Ali views cinema as a bridge between cultures, inspired by poetry, architecture, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.

(kratki film / short film)

Telefon sudanske filmske autorice Eiman Mirghani zavibrira nakon što primi poruku: njen otac izgubio je posao i mora spakovati stvari i napustiti kuću u Dohi koja je decenijama bila njihov porodični dom. Šokantna vijest pokreće poplavu uspomena na život u Vili 187, a nostalgija se miješa s nervozom zbog nesigurne budućnosti. Kroz to ponovno otkrivanje onoga što je nekada bilo, probija se pitanje: šta znači negdje pripadati nakon što ste već jednom bili prisiljeni napustiti dom? Kako se pozdraviti sa zidovima unutar kojih ste odrasli? Da li kuća može čuvati priču neke porodice dugo nakon što je ta porodica napusti? Eiman Mirghani je sudanska filmska autorica s prebivalištem u Kataru. Eiman je 2021. godine radila kao jedna od producentica kratkog sudanskog filma AL-SIT koji je osvojio nagrade na brojnim filmskim festivalima i kvalifikovao se za kandidaturu za Oscara. Njen drugi kratki film SINDROM IZBJELJIVANJA, prikazan je na više međunarodnih filmskih festivala. I svoj najnoviji kratki film VILA 187 snimala je pod mentorstvom Rithyja Panha u sklopu programa Documentary Lab Doha Film Instituta. E One day, Sudanese filmmaker Eiman Mirghani’s phone buzzed with a message: her father had lost his job, and the family had to pack up their life in the Doha house they’d called home for decades. The shock cracked open a flood of memories inside Villa 187, blurring nostalgia with the anxious anticipation of an uncertain future. Through this rediscovery, questions emerge: What does belonging look like when you’re already displaced? How do you say goodbye to the walls that raised you? Can a house hold the story of a family long after they’ve gone? Eiman Mirghani is a Sudanese filmmaker based in Qatar. In 2021, she was a producer of the short Sudanese film AL-SIT, which received accolades at numerous international film festivals and has qualified for the Academy Awards. Her second short film, THE BLEACHING SYNDROME, has travelled to several international film festivals. Mirghani was mentored by Panh again as part of the Doha Film Institute’s Documentary Lab Fellowship, through which she directed her most recent short, VILLA 187.

Antigone, The Docutragedy / Antigona, dokutragedija ANTIGONA, DOKUTRAGEDIJA koristi restaurirane snimke pozorišne predstave Antigona, postavljene na scenu male, nezavisne produkcije u Los Angelesu 1995. godine s Mirom Furlan u glavnoj ulozi, kao temelj originalnog kinematografskog putovanja. Tri decenije nakon nastanka, predstava se otkriva kao još više relevantna i proročanska nego u vrijeme svog prvog izvođenja. Nadilazeći pozorišno porijeklo, film prerasta u dokumentarac o našem svijetu – o Hollywoodu, ratu, egzilu, umjetnosti i izvanrednim ljudima čiji životi odjekuju Sofoklovom bezvremenskom tragedijom. Goran Gajić je diplomirao filmsku režiju na Fakultetu dramske umetnosti u Beogradu. Osamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća režirao je brojne muzičke spotove. Usljed porasta nacionalizma koji je pratio raspad Jugoslavije i nacionalističkih kampanja usmjerenih protiv njegove supruge, glumice i spisateljice Mire Furlan, Gajić i Furlan 1991. godine odlaze u Sjedinjene Američke Države. Gajić je radio kao režiser za američke filmske studije i TV-mreže te je, između ostalih projekata, režirao neke od epizoda dramskih serija OZ, BABILON 5, RITAM i NIVO 9, kao i nezavisni dugometražni igrani film UŽI KRUG. Režirao je televizijsku seriju VRATIĆE SE RODE i njenu filmsku adaptaciju. Jedan je od kreatora, scenarista i reditelja prve sezone dramske serije DUG MORU. E ANTIGONE, THE DOCUTRAGEDY uses the restored recording of a small independent 1995 Los Angeles production of “Antigone,” starring Mira Furlan, as the foundation for an original cinematic journey. As three decades separate the performance from the present, the production reveals itself to be even more relevant and prophetic than when it was first staged. Transcending its theatrical origins, the film becomes a documentary about our world — about the United States, Hollywood, war, exile, art, and the extraordinary people whose lives echo Sophocles’s timeless tragedy.

Goran Gajić graduated from studies in film directing from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade. During the 1980s, he directed numerous music videos. In 1991, amid the nationalist climate surrounding the breakup of Yugoslavia and following the public nationalist campaign targeting his wife, the actor and writer Mira Furlan, Gajić and Furlan relocated to the United States. Since then, Gajić has directed television productions for US studios and networks, including episodes of OZ, BABYLON 5, THE BEAT, and LEVEL 9, as well as the independent feature film THE INNER CIRCLE. He directed the television series THE STORKS WILL RETURN and its feature-film adaptation. He is one of the creators, writers, and directors of the first season of the television series DEBT TO THE SEA.

Brother Verses Brother / Brat naspram brata Muzičari i međusobno zavisna braća blizanci Ari i Ethan Gold imaju jednu noć da pronađu tri stvari: ljubav, pjesmu i svoga oca, devedesetdevetogodišnjeg pjesnika bitničke generacije, posljednjeg svoje vrste. Potraga se odvija u devedeset minuta “živog kina”, prema načelima izvršnog producenta Francisa Forda Coppole, kao neprekidno putovanje kroz četvrt North Beach u San Franciscu koje ih vodi ka posljednjem nastupu zabilježenom svega nekoliko sedmica prije očeve smrti. Ari Gold je filmski reditelj, pjesnik, muzičar i osnivač produkcijske kuće Grack Films. Njegova ostvarenja prikazana su na festivalima kao što su Sundance, Telluride i Karlovy Vary, kao i na više od stotinu drugih filmskih smotri širom svijeta. Osvojio je preko pedeset nagrada, uključujući priznanje za najbolji film na festivalu South by Southwest i Studentskog Oscara. Romantična drama PJESMA JEZERA SWAY obišla je više od pedeset međunarodnih festivala, zabilježivši preko deset nagrada. Njegov dugometražni prvenac POWEROVE AVANTURE premijerno je prikazan na Sundanceu i u Karlovym Varyma. Pored filma, Ari Gold vodi i podcast o bubnjarstvu HotSticks, u kojem ugošćuje neke od najvećih rock-zvijezda današnjice. E Co-dependent twin musicians Ari and Ethan Gold have one night to find three things: love, a song, and their father – a ninety-nine-year-old Beat Generation poet, the last of his kind. Their search plays out in ninety minutes of “live cinema,” according to the precepts of executive producer Francis Ford Coppola, delivering a single unbroken journey through San Francisco’s North Beach, towards one final performance, captured just weeks before their father’s death.

Ari Gold is a film director, poet, musician, and the founder of Grack Films. His films have screened at the Sundance and Telluride Film Festivals, the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, and hundreds of other festivals. He has won more than fifty prizes, including Best Film at South by Southwest and a Student Academy Award. His romantic drama THE SONG OF SWAY LAKE played at more than fifty international film festivals and won awards at more than a dozen. His first feature, ADVENTURES OF POWER, premiered at Sundance and Karlovy Vary. Gold also hosts HotSticks, a podcast about drumming that features some of the biggest rock stars on the planet.

Lachtara-Tęsknota / Lachtara-Čežnja / Lachtara-Longing Godina je 2015. i Evropa se suočava s finansijskom i migrantskom krizom. Poljski burzovni mešetar Piotr nakon 28 godina pronalazi svoga oca Jorgosa, ekscentričnog grčkog muzičara. U starom autu zajedno putuju od Grčke do Poljske kako bi riješili pitanja vezana za porodično nasljedstvo. Dva muškarca po svemu su različita: po novcu, temperamentu, uspomenama i neizgovorenim kajanjima. Tokom putovanja demoni grčkog građanskog rata, imigracije i njihove razdvojenosti vraćaju se da ih proganjaju. Kada se zaustave da povezu sirijsku djevojčicu izbjeglicu, dinamika putovanja neočekivano se mijenja. Otac i sin moraju se suočiti s porodičnom tajnom ukorijenjenom u događajima u Poljskoj nakon 1987. godine. Sebastian Chondrokostas diplomirao je režiju na Akademiji za pozorište u Varšavi. Režirao je brojne epizode televizijskih serija nastalih u produkciji TVP-a i Polsata. U pozorištu je debitirao 2004. godine, a potom režirao brojne predstave u poljskim pozorištima. LACHTARA-ČEŽNJA njegov je prvi dugometražni film. E 2015. Europe is in the midst of the financial and migration crisis. Piotr, a Polish stockbroker, finds his father, Jorgos — an eccentric Greek musician – after a twenty-eight-year absence. Together, father and son set off in an old car, heading from Greece to Poland to settle a family inheritance. Everything divides them: money, temperament, memory, and unspoken regret. During the journey, the demons of the Greek Civil War, migration, and their separation come to the surface. When they pick up a Syrian refugee girl, the journey takes on an unexpected dynamic. Father and son must face a family secret whose roots lie in events that took place in Poland in 1987.

Sebastian Chondrokostas is a graduate of the directing programme at the Academy of Theatre in Warsaw. He has directed numerous episodes of television series produced by TVP and Polsat. He made his theatre debut in 2004 and has since been involved in theatre productions in many Polish theatres. LACHTARA-LONGING is his feature film debut.

Stand Together As One: The Famine, The Music, The Impact / Stojite zajedno kao jedno: glad, muzika, utjecaj / Stand Together as One: The Famine, the Music, the Impact Četrdeset godina nakon što je snimljena, pop-himna “We Are the World” i dalje privlači ljubitelje muzike širom svijeta, a globalni koncert Live Aid ostaje uzor i dokaz šta se može postići kada se muzičari ujedine za zajednički cilj. Kada je ratom razorenu Etiopiju 1983. godine pogodila razorna suša, tamošnji brutalni diktatorski režim uskratio je hranu milionima ljudi. Više od milion ljudi umrlo je od gladi. Opasna ratna zona nije obeshrabrila kenijskog fotografa Mohameda Amina niti njegove kolege s BBC-ja Michaela Buerka i Mikea Wooldridgea. Iskusni tim ratnih reportera rizikovao je život kako bi otkrio istinu o, po mnogima, najgoroj humanitarnoj katastrofi dvadesetog stoljeća. Inspirisani njihovim historijskim izvještajem, muzičari su odlučili stati kao jedan. Chip Duncan je američki filmski stvaralac, autor i filantrop. Tokom protekle tri decenije režirao je i producirao više nagrađivanih dokumentaraca o globalnim temama, društvenoj pravdi i ljudskim pravima. Među filmovima koje je producirao ističu se DJECA AMAZONA, KRAJ SIROMAŠTVA? i RIJEKA ISPOD, koji je premijerno prikazan na Filmskom festivalu Tribeca 2017. godine. Njegovi filmovi osvojili su brojne međunarodne nagrade i emitovani su širom svijeta. E Forty years after the recording of “We Are the World,” the pop anthem still resonates for music lovers worldwide... and the global concert Live Aid remains the benchmark for what’s possible when musicians come together in a common cause. When drought hit Ethiopia in 1983, millions of people in the war-ravaged nation were denied food relief by a ruthless dictatorship. More than one million people starved to death. The treacherous war zone didn’t stop Kenyan photojournalist Mohamed Amin or his BBC colleagues Michael Buerk and Mike Wooldridge. The skilled frontline team risked their lives to tell the truth behind what many consider the worst humanitarian disaster of the twentieth century. Inspired by their historic global report, musicians chose to stand together as one.

Chip Duncan is a filmmaker, producer, author, and philanthropist from the United States. Over the past three decades, he has directed and produced award-winning documentaries exploring global issues, social justice, and human rights. Among his producing credits are THE END OF POVERTY?, CHILDREN OF THE AMAZON, and A RIVER BELOW, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2017. His work has received numerous international awards and has been broadcast worldwide.

Tutti Frutti Od 2022. godine Céline Sciamma pravi vlastite snimke, stvarajući osobnu dokumentarnu arhivu, rođenu iz želje da kameru učini korisnom. Što se tiče fikcije, ona je ponovo postala san. TUTTI FRUTTI je putovanje kroz sve te fragmente, povezane montažom, te istraživanje nade u pokretanje individualne filmske prakse. Film je nastao kao dio kolekcije “Où en êtes-vous?” Centra Pompidou. Céline Sciamma cijenjena je francuska filmska autorica i scenaristica, prepoznata kao jedan od vodećih glasova moderne evropske kinematografije. Njen opus uključuje filmove VODENI LJILJANI, premijerno prikazan u programu Izvjestan pogled Filmskog festivala u Cannesu, DJEVOJAŠTVO, prikazan u programu 15 dana autora, također u Cannesu, PORTRET DJEVOJKE U PLAMENU, za koji je 2019. godine u Cannesu osvojila Nagradu za najbolji scenarij, te MALA MAMA, premijerno prikazan na Međunarodnom filmskom festivalu u Berlinu. Poznata po svom intimnom i emotivno preciznom pristupu naraciji, Sciamma obrađuje teme identiteta, uspomena, strasti i odrastanja. E Since 2022, Céline Sciamma has been shooting her own footage: documentary archives born from the desire of a useful camera. Fiction, for its part, has once again become a dream. TUTTI FRUTTI is a journey through all these fragments brought together by editing, and an exploration of the hope of a solo filmmaking practice. The film was made as part of the OÙ EN ÊTES-VOUS (“Where are you at?”) collection for the Centre Pompidou.
