FEST INTERVIEW – VANJA HOVAN, DIRECTOR OF THE FILM REDITELJ FILMA GRANDE PUNTO
I like the aesthetics of John Waters, Ionesco, Kovačević, and showing serious things in a tragicomic way
Your film comments our reality, the situation in the culture, media and the society in general, in a satirical way, using irony and grotesque. What was the starting point for the script of “Grande Punto?” It was probably my own experience of reality, of various glum and less glum situations and ...

FEST INTERVIEW – "BUGS AND HEROES", PETAR PAŠIĆ
Since I observe and experience most things through images, and not so much through words, I had to find a way to say what I wanted in the best possible way.
Your new film blends in an original way fairytale and drama in a story which is above all about love, but to a certain extent it is also about the society, a story in which idyllic scenes alternate with black humor and grotesque, and fiction alternates with animation. How did you combine ...

FEST INTERVIEW: "BIKINI MOON" BY MILCHO MANCHEVSKI – A MOCKUMENTARY AS A GAME AND AN EXPERIMENT
To me, the game is the most important. My starting point is always the formal aspect, and then I am interested to see whether the form will be a shattered narration as in "The Dust", or a union of three simple films as in "Before Rain", or a mockumentary as in this new film.
You envisioned the film “Bikini Moon” a long time ago. What was your initial inspiration for this quite unusual ...

Lack of love, alienation and mistrust are the main forms of relationships between family members these days.
You filmed “Horizons” based on your own script. What was your motivation to create this subtle but quite pessimistic story about lack of true love and trust between family members? Unfortunately, the script is based on true stories which happen around us. Lack of love, alienation and ...

FEST INTERVIEW: JURI RECHINSKY, DIRECTOR OF THE FILM "UGLY," AND ANGELA GREGOVIĆ IN THE ROLE OF HANNA
I do not think we have a better option for co-existence than a family
Juri: I hope there is, since I do not think we have a better option for co-existence than a family. It is becoming increasingly challenging to live like that, at least in the west. I now live with my wife and son very far from my parents, and only after getting a child I realized how useful it would be to live with my parents ...
