Danish director from Montenegro
The Danish film "Home" by the director and actress Marijana Janković, a native of Montenegro, was selected for the opening, an emotional journey in search of a place, space or relationship that we can call home, which will be screened out of competition.
The festival will close with the documentary film "Mountain" by Biljana Tutorov and Petar Glomazić, a visually impressive and emotionally powerful achievement that brought Montenegrin cinematography a historic international success - the Grand Jury Prize for the best international documentary film at the prestigious Sundance Festival.
The feature film competition program, selected by journalist and film critic Vuk Perović, brings ten new works by authors from Slovenia, Serbia, North Macedonia, Croatia and Montenegro.

The members of the legendary German avant-garde rock group "Faust" recorded four exciting solo albums and released them on the same day. The exceptionality of this event is contained in the fact that the group has not existed for a long time, but all four founders, after a long break, worked together again, extending the duration of their visionary work deep into the XXI century.
