U fokusu filma je raznolika skupina veterana iz postjugoslavenskih ratova, koja se dvadeset godina nakon sukoba u kojima su traumatično sudjelovali okuplja u zabačenom planinskom hotelu na višednevnoj terapijskoj seansi. Ova briljantno režirana drama govori o tome kako moramo najprije naučiti oprostiti sebi da bismo mogli oprostiti drugima. Uz Sebastiana Cavazzu u ulozi terapeuta, u filmu glume izvrsni Emir Hadžihafizbegović, Leon Lučev, Izudin Bajrović, Boris Isaković, Ermin Bravo, Boris Ler i Ivo Gregurević.

The armed conflicts of the 1990s not only visibly destroyed the land of the former Yugoslavia, but also left the deepest wounds in the memory of each of its belligerent nations. There are as many different interpretations of that bleak past as there are countries affected. It is therefore hard to expect absolute harmony when, less than two decades since the war ended, a diverse group of veterans gathers at a remote mountain hotel for a therapy session over several days. On the contrary, such a dangerously volatile situation can suddenly ignite by just one thoughtless word, or a seemingly dirty look. That’s because the former soldiers, obstinately holding on to their fundamental masculinity and their prejudices, refuse to expose the inhumanity of the atrocities perpetrated – be it by them or by someone else. This brilliantly directed drama about how we must first learn to forgive ourselves before we can forgive others,

GOSPODIN NIKO PROTIV PUTINA / MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN

Režija / Directors: David Borenstein, Pavel Talankin

Uloge / Cast: Viktor Abakumov, Lavrenti Beria, Yevhen Konovalets

Razgovor poslije filma / Q&A after the film: Radovan Sibrt, producer

Protagonist filma je Pavel, omiljeni učitelj u osnovnoj školi u ruskoj provinciji, koji je za vrijeme ruske invazije na Ukrajinu prisiljen raditi po programu usklađenom s Putinovom propagandom. Ipak, odlučuje se na otpor i počinje snimati promjene koje se dešavaju u školi i zajednici, bilježeći represivne zakone, vatreni nacionalizam, indoktrinaciju usmjerenu na najmlađe, kao i regrutiranje maturanata u rat.

As Russia launches its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, primary schools across Russia are transformed into recruitment stages for the war. Facing the ethical dilemma of working in a system defined by propaganda and violence, a brave teacher films what’s really happening in his own school.

TO JE BILA SAMO NEZGODA / IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT

Režija / Director: Jafar Panahi

Uloge / Cast: Vahid Mobasseri, Mariam Afshari, Ebrahim Azizi

Nakon što ga poslom posjeti neznanac s oštećenim automobilom, mehaničar Vahid postaje uvjeren da je pred njim bivši mučitelj koji ga je godinama ranije zlostavljao u zatvoru. Neizvjesno je da li je taj čovjek zaista osoba koju Vahid traži, ali slučajni susret pokreće lanac događaja koji razotkrivaju strah i potisnuta sjećanja. Dok Vahid okuplja grupu bivših političkih zatvorenika koji pokušavaju utvrditi čovjekov identitet i odgovarajuću kaznu, film se pretvara u prvorazredni triler o traumi i osveti.

A small mishap triggers a chain reaction of ever-growing problems.
