Audience award
THERE IS NO FILM FESTIVAL WITHOUT AUDIENCE
Like other areas of social and cultural life, film and cinema have been hit by the current Covid-19 pandemic. Film festivals have similar destiny. Beginning with A category festivals that could not be held - Cannes, Karlovy Vary - to a large number of smaller ones that were either canceled or held online, which is, in my opinion, just a surrogate for a film festival. As Emir Kusturica once said "there is no cinema without dark", so there is no film festival without audience.
This year, due to the new situation, the usual communication between new film producers and festival programmers could not be achieved in an optimal way, so the work on film selection and program composing for the Palić festival was extremely difficult. However, in my opinion, this year's program offers films from the top of current European production that was able to appear publicly before the pandemic, ending with this year's Berlin festival.
The main program includes four new films by well-known European authors.
One of the most important contemporary Italian directors Matteo Garrone (GOMORRAH, REALITY SHOW, DOGMAN) in PINOCCHIO presents extremely original version of the famous fairy tale with the great Roberto Benigni in the role of Geppetto; the famous French author of the older generation, Philippe Garrel, who grew up on the poetics of the French New Wave, is in the program with his new film THE SALT OF TEARS; Polish and world film veteran Agnieszka Holland competes with her new film CHARLATAN in which she deals with one of her favorite themes - the fate of individuals in sensitive historical circumstances. Finally, one of the most distinctive German directors, Christian Petzold, comes up with the film UNDINE, an atypical love story that escapes any common categorization.
Films by younger or lesser-known directors come from Denmark, Norway, Bulgaria Hungary.
Certainly the most intriguing and controversial film of the main program will be NATASHA, one of the films from the extensive DAU project by Russian director Ilya Khrzhanovskiy. It was the most talked about film at this year’s Berlinale.
In the main program, in competition, is one of the films that entered the official program of this year's Cannes Film Festival, the Polish-Swedish film SWEAT by Swedish director Magnus Von Horn, a film that problematizes some of today's phenomena, especially present among young people.
Finally, for a long time in European film production there weren’t many films about the Second World War. Film PERSIAN LESSONS by Ukrainian director Vladimir Perelman brings us a fresh, original vision of suffering in concentration camps.
The criteria for the selection of films referred to the cinematic values of the films, regardless of their thematic determinant or country of origin. In the end, it turned out that the films in this program reflect exactly that diversity. From the topics they deal with - love, social issues, World War II, Stalinism, the fate of the individual - to the cinemas they come from - German, French, Italian, Polish, Czech, Bulgarian, Russian, Hungarian, Danish, Norwegian.
