AWARDS 2023
GRAND PRIX
TRACES
CHANTAL PARTAMIAN
Movie TRACES works organically on body, emotional and intellectual level, going beyond the critique of masculine military culture and denouncing its devastating effect of dispersal, (but) also, giving (us) goose bumps and optimistic excitement of the poetry of Eros, movie where all dots (and elements) find their artistic reason for being.
Voted by the jury : Olja Nikolić - Kia, Tin Dožić, Radiša Cvetković
CURATOR AWARD
UPSODOWN
NATHAN CEDDIA
For a powerful synergy between essayistic voice-over gently laced with nostalgia, evocative soundscapes of delicate timbres, and arresting imagery impregnated with both personal and contemplative poignancy
Voted by the curators : Ejla Kovačević, Nikola Gocić and Marko Milićević.
SPECIAL MENTION
LIVING LESSONS IN THE MUSEUM OF ORDER
MALIC AMALYA
LIVING LESSONS IN THE MUSEUM OF ORDER is a thought-provoking drive through two parallel worlds: the empty prison cells of Alcatraz after the indigenous resistance of the 1960's, and the garish stages of Sea World. Its innovative use of archival footage and promotional materials provides a multi-layered exploration and critical reflection of commodification

DARKNESS DARKNESS BURNING BRIGHT
GAËLLE ROUARD
DARKNESS, DARKNESS, BURNING BRIGHT evolves as a meditation on rural life, stillness and movement, combining qualities of both simplicity and magic. Presented on 16mm film, it creates a place and time away from the here and now. This film is a spell reminding us of the enchanting qualities of photochemical filmmaking
Voted by : Tin Dožić
OH DEAR LORD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR FACE?
ASREEN ZANGANA
This no-budget punky movie brings an awful picture of toxic parenting using persiflage, obscure grotesque acting, and old experimental techniques and deviated montage, successfully causing abject feeling and discomfort with the touch of humor.

BEST ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
DATURA'S AUBADE
ALEX LANE
Sound and music of Datura’s Aubade are presented as a complex score of different sonic textures. The soundtrack thoughtfully follows the film's thematic elements creating a mystic desert atmosphere and skillfully guides the audience's emotional engagement through the narrative. The sound supports the film, creating both intensities and contemplative spaces throughout its duration.
Voted by the jury : Olja Nikolić - Kia, Tin Dožić, Radiša Cvetković
BEST LIVE SOUNDTRACK
ALEKSANDAR NARANČiĆ FOR

Voted by the curators : Ejla Kovačević, Nikola Gocić and Marko Milićević.
