Director Lordan Zafranović has completed the film ‘Zlatni rez 42: Djeca Kozare’, a project inspired by the historical experiences of children from the Kozara region sent to death camps during World War II. Initially, the director expressed interest in premiering the film at the Fest international film festival in Belgrade, noting high interest in Republika Srpska due to the film's historical setting.

Following these expressions of interest, premiere dates were established for October. The film is scheduled to debut on October 2 at the Sava Centar in Belgrade, followed by a screening on October 3 at the Borik hall in Banja Luka. Based on a screenplay by Arsen Diklić, the narrative focuses on three siblings attempting to escape war atrocities in the summer of 1942, specifically addressing the fate of children sent to the Jasenovac and Ravensbrück camp systems.
