Regional film festival awards and recognition

Overview

Regional filmmakers continue to receive recognition through various film festival awards.

At the 74th San Sebastián International Film Festival, the Kosovo-Montenegrin co-production ‘In a Manner of Speaking’ (Me Fjalë Tjera), directed by Val Jašari, won both the WIP Europa Industry Award and the WIP Europa Award. Produced by WaveMaker Films and Live Productions, the film follows Zeka, an Albanian-American refugee in Pristina, whose life changes after a police raid. The Industry Award provides a post-production service package and Spanish distribution, while the WIP Europa Award includes 10,000 euros.

Other notable achievements include the Montenegrin animated film ‘Uroš’ by Mato Uljarević winning best international film at the 73rd Martovski festival in Belgrade. The jury highlighted its hand-drawn animation technique used to explore fragments of the life of artist Uroš Tošković. Additionally, the documentary ‘Kamen drevnog snevača 3’ by Nebojša Ilić Ilke earned third prize in the International Ethno Film category at the 4th TEF Tourist and Ethno Film Festival in Croatia.

Recent selections for international programs include the Montenegrin short film ‘Lavež’, directed by Branislav Milatović, which was chosen for the competitive program of the 8th Alessandria Film Festival in Italy. The Serbian thriller ‘Mraz’ also participated in the main competition at the Sitges Film Festival and is scheduled for screenings at TLVFest in Tel Aviv, the Lund Fantastic Film Festival in Sweden, and the Imagine Fantastic Film Festival in Amsterdam.

Earlier honors include awards at the 51st Mojkovac Film Autumn, the fifth Idromeno International Film Festival, the 15th Tuzla Film Festival, and the KineNova International Film Festival.
