'If the Seed Doesn't Die'
When writing a film festival report, the tendency is to focus on the films that have won awards: this was true of my own reports on the Cinema City Iff for the Little White Lies blog and Fedeora (the Federation of Film Critics of Europe and the Mediterranean). Yet the films that don’t win any awards are still worth discussing: in order to have been selected for the festival in the first place, a film must have some merits.

Živojinović receives his lifetime achievement award

The festival introduced the members of its three main juries, who will award prizes to films from three of the festival’s sections: ‘National Class’ (Serbian films), ‘Exit Point’ (international auteur cinema, this year showcasing films about women) and ‘Up to 10,000 Bucks’ (low-budget, predominantly short films from around the world).
The highlight of the opening ceremony was the presentation of two of the festival’s signature Ibis awards to Polish director Dorota Kędzierzawska for Contribution to European Film and to prolific Serbian actor Bata Živojinović for lifetime achievement.
The ceremony was followed by a screening of the festival’s opening film, Kędzierzawska’s most recent feature, Tomorrow Will Be Better (Jutro będzie lepiej, 2010). The film is about three homeless Russian boys and their journey to...
