An experimental journey by Vladimir Todorović that explores the inner real identities which emerge in a rough and mountainous Montenegrin landscape.

Piccola Patria (Small Homeland) – Venice 70 Orizzonti

A typical rural kitchen sink drama in the industrialized Italian region of Veneto that now faces the economical crisis. Directed by Alessandro Rossetto.

Shell – Torino 30

A slow paced family kitchen sink drama directed by Scott Graham and set in the Scottish highlands. Winner of the 30th Torino Film Festival.

Saul Fia (Son of Saul) – Sarajevo 21

László Nemes masterfully recreates a Holocaust Inferno where you can’t escape and the only way to survive is through death. Special Jury Prize at the 21st Sarajevo Film Festival.

A Blast – Sarajevo 20

Syllas Tzoumerkas' sophomore feature is a powerful sociopolitical drama that juxtaposes the cynicism of the troubled Greek society while the middle-class decays internally.
