On the last day of the fetival, the jury of the Motovun Film Festival awarded our film ‘Srbenka‘ by Nebojša Slijepčević with Special Mention. German directors Sebastian Schipper and Uli M Schueppel, Moldavian director Ana-Felicia Scutelnicu, British musician and producer Mark Reeder and Croatian director Ognjen Sviličić explained their decision like this: ‘A very deep and sensitive look into the preparations and rehearsals of a Croatian theatre group dealing with the still open wounds of the last war. Particularly striking is the feeling of death breathing down our neck, now and today, like it does while walking behind the 12 year old girl Nina, an ethnic Serbian, in the streets of Rijeka at the end of the powerful documentary film.’
