The FIPRESCI SERBIA Award
The Jury of the Critic FIPRESCI SERBIA comprising: Dusan Vukic, Chairman (Zeleznicke novine) and members Vladimir Andjelkovic (Foto-kino informator) and Marjan Vujovic (Yugoslav Film Archive) has adopted the unanimous decision on the awards on the 56th Festival of Documentary and Short Film: the award for best domestic film goes to Igor Toholj for the documentary film BREAKING POINT. This is a story of engine drivers who in their daily work face the danger of taking someone’s life without against their own will and thus continue living with deep trauma. The film has been made from the engine driver’s angle, combined with interviews of psychotherapists who are actively working on overcoming the mental consequences present with these peoples.
The award for best international film is extended to Johan Kun for the animated film EXIT (Germany). In its category, EXIT distinguished itself with fantastic animation qualities, which are credibly reflecting the philosophical theme. This is a great 36-minute speechless production.
