Izazovi se lakše prevazilaze kada smo zajedno i zato je regionalna takmičarska selekcija Best Pitch bila posvećena onim projektima čija je realizacija već bila u toku, kako bi dobili podršku za uspešno finale. Selekcija je podrazumevala dugometražne filmove mladih reditelja iz regiona.
U uži krug konkursa ušli su filmovi: „Levant“, Una Radić; „15 ipo“, Mišo Obradović; „Po meni se ništa neće zvati“, Miljan Vučelić; „Vožnja biciklom sa Zolijem Turčinom“, Sabolč Tolnai; „Plod“, Maša Šarović; „Sunce, nikad više“, David Jovanović; „Vetre, pričaj sa mnom“, Stefan Đorđević; „78 dana“, Emilija Gašić.
Pobednik konkursa u okviru Best Pitch selekcije je crnogorski filmski projekat „Po meni se ništa neće zvati“ u režiji Đorđa Vojvodića.
Ovogodišnji partner Best pitch selekcije je Schweppes.
Challenges are easier to overcome when we stand together, which is why the regional competitive selection Best Pitch was dedicated to projects already in production, in order to provide support for a successful completion. The selection focused on feature-length films by emerging directors from the region.
The following films were shortlisted:
“Levant” by Una Radić,
“15 and a Half” by Mišo Obradović,
“Nothing Will Be Named After Me” by Miljan Vučelić,
“Bike Ride with Zoli Turčin” by Sabolč Tolnai,
“Fruit” by Maša Šarović,
“The Sun, Never Again” by David Jovanović,
“Wind, Speak to Me” by Stefan Đorđević,
and “78 Days” by Emilija Gašić.
The winner of this year’s Best Pitch selection is the Montenegrin film project “Nothing Will Be Named After Me”, directed by Đorđe Vojvodić.
This year’s partner of the Best Pitch selection is Schweppes.
Selekcija „Work in Progress“ posvećena je projektima koji su trenutno u fazi produkcije ili post-produkcije, kako bi dobili podršku za uspešno finale. Najveća novčana nagrada Novi Sad film festivala, u iznosu od 10.000 evra za koju je partner Šveps, ove godine ide filmu ‘Rattlesnakes’, reditelja Nikole Ljuce.
Žirijem je predsedavao Manu Kvon, direktor Busan Content Market-a, uz Enu Rahelić i Milana Todorovića. U nastavku je obrazloženje žirija:
Priča prati putovanje dvoje pojedinaca koji prelaze iz intimnosti u otuđenje, naposletku se susrećući na suprotstavljenim stranama, gde se sukobljavaju posao, politika i moral. Relevantnost priče u društvenom kontekstu i temama kojima se bavi, predstavljena je kroz dobro strukturiran i profesionalan nastup, dodatno začinjen činjenicom da se radi o snažnoj regionalnoj koprodukciji svih zemalja bivše Jugoslavije, obogaćenom daškom Mediterana. Nakon višegodišnje finansijske odiseje, film je snimljen ovog leta, te smatramo kako će ova međugeneracijska priča imati najviše koristi od nagrade, s izgledima za dobar festivalski, ali i bioskopski život, posebno u regionu. Nagradu dodeljujemo filmu „Zvečarke“ reditelja Nikole Ljuce.
The "Work in Progress" selection is dedicated to projects currently in production or post-production, aiming to provide support for their successful completion. The largest cash prize of the Novi Sad Film Festival — €10,000, sponsored by Schweppes — is awarded this year to the film Rattlesnakes, directed by Nikola Ljuca.
The jury was presided over by Mahnwoo Kwon, director of the Busan Content Market, alongside Ena Rahelić and Milan Todorović. Their statement reads:
The story follows the journey of two individuals transitioning from intimacy to alienation, ultimately meeting on opposing sides where work, politics, and morality collide. The relevance of the narrative — both in social context and the themes it tackles — is presented through a well-structured and professional pitch, further enhanced by the fact that this is a powerful regional co-production involving all former Yugoslav countries, enriched with a Mediterranean touch.
After years of financial struggle, the film was finally shot this summer. We believe this intergenerational story will benefit the most from the award, with strong potential for both a successful festival run and theatrical release, especially in the region.
The award goes to 'Rattlesnakes', directed by Nikola Ljuca.
