Serbian-Romanian filmmaker Ivana Mladenovi\u0107 received the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Director on Friday night at the 31st Sarajevo Film Festival for her feature film Sorella di Clausura. The Romanian-Serbian-Italian-Spanish co-production competed in the festival\u2019s international fiction section.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am grateful for this award and for the way the film was received. I was very happy to see it here,\u201d Mladenovi\u0107 said after the ceremony, thanking lead actress Katia Pascariu, producer Ada Solomon, cinematographer Marius Panduru, co-writers, editor Vanja Kova\u010devi\u0107, and the rest of her team.<\/p>\n
The jury, chaired by Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa, praised the film as a \u201cpunk-spirited\u201d work flowing \u201clike a Dostoevskian river\u201d that ultimately evolves into \u201ca romantic comedy without romance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Produced by Ada Solomon (microFILM, Romania) and Ivana Mladenovi\u0107 (Dunav 84, Serbia), Sorella di Clausura follows the story of Stela (Katia Pascariu), a young woman from the provinces who becomes infatuated with a Balkan artist she has only seen on television. Her journey to Bucharest, encouraged by a singer named Vera, takes an unexpected turn as promises clash with reality.<\/p>\n
The Sarajevo delegation for Sorella di Clausura included Mladenovi\u0107, co-writer Momir Milosevi\u0107, actors Katia Pascariu, Miodrag Mladenovi\u0107, Gordana Mladenovi\u0107, and Tina Pop, alongside producer Ada Solomon and members of the microFILM team.<\/p>\n
God Will Not Help, another co-production supported by the same Romanian company microFILM and directed by Croatian filmmaker Hana Ju\u0161i\u0107, received the Special Award for Promoting Gender Equality. The jury described it as a mysterious, genre-defying story set in isolation, with strong performances and a haunting atmosphere.<\/p>\n
