Why is the movie "Beside Us" banned in some cities

Jagodina banned the screening of the film "Beside Us", as well as Novi Pazar, Ivanjica and Subotica, while the screening was stopped in Gornji Milanovac.

As announced by Stevan Filipović, the director of this film which premiered in Belgrade on December 23, it was said in Jagodina that "they will not play the film in a public cultural institution and they refuse to give an explanation."

The alarm is on

Actor Branislav Trifunović confirmed on Instagram that the screening of the film is prohibited in Jagodina, but also in other cities.

"We were informed by reliable sources that our film was censored in several cities (Jagodina, Novi Pazar, Ivanjica, Požega). The local administration does not allow the broadcast, while in Gornji Milanovac, the fire alarm was activated in the seventh minute of the film in order to empty the hall."

"This is an open ban and a fight against showing something in which we have invested our time and effort. I am asking all the people who like this movie to react to this so that we know what is going on behind closed doors."

It should be believed that the reason for this ban is not public support for students, which Stevan Filipović has publicly announced several times.

Conflict is inevitable

The characters of the film "Beside Us" are the same ones who spent an evening locked in school 10 years ago in the teenage movie "Beside Me".

Now, Strahinja (Nikola Glišić), one of them, receives an invitation to participate in the "first real reality show", set in complete wilderness, isolated from civilization, in a location that no one knows about. Strahinja accepts the invitation, unaware that he will soon face his greatest fears - with an unexpected gathering of former high school friends.

Even before the reality show begins, the participants, who know each other but haven't been in contact for years, will face each other's challenges and dangers, physical and emotional pain, and will awaken their deepest urges, bordering on the animal.

Divided into two groups, everyone has only one goal - to survive, and conflict becomes inevitable.

Now, as adults, who have felt on their skin every touch of maturation, love, reality, rejection, greed and friendship, they will have the opportunity to ask themselves the ultimate question: how much is each life worth and is it easier to sacrifice yourself or another?

Starring, as in "Next to Mene", Slaven Došlo, Nikola Glišić, Darko Ivić, Gorica Regodić, Milica Majkić. Actresses Isidora Simijonović and Tihana Lazović are excellent additions to the team. The special guest in the film is Milutin Mima Karadžić.
