Through the history, Montenegrin cinema is marked by many famous and prominent authors (in Montenegro were born, and sometimes worked there authors such as Dusan Vukotic, Veljko Bulajic, Zivko Nikolic, etc.); authentic films which easily communicated with audience wherever they were shown; many collaborations with foreign co-producers;... and, then, everything was put to sleep. It took time and new energy for finding the way how to establish own film production. The past ten years were very exciting for Montenegrin national cinema. At the start of the previous decade, from Ministry of culture of Montenegro came new initiative and funding plan which in short term had its results, so the new productions have started and the films were made. In the meantime, more and more new film talents are being educated which led to need for bigger engagement of the whole Montenegrin community. The budget for films continually increases, and something that is important to emphasise is the fact that in all films by Montenegrin authors the great number of talent and crew from region and beyond is participating, which our film production confirms as inherently multicultural, intercultural, cross-cultural product. It was very interesting to follow the past decade in Montenegrin film, for many reasons. New authors, new film staff; communication with own film legacy, but also the attempts to be in balance with wider film community; establishing of the new standards in rather chaotic circumstances; struggles with many setbacks and lack of understanding, but an enormous enthusiasm to conquer the film, also, and above all. Ever increasing number of foreign crews are coming to shoot in Montenegrin exciting locations (mountains, Adriatic sea, vast beaches, old urban entities, etc.); new ambitious and prestigious infrastructural projects are in the works; and the new Cinematography law, which will ensure new encouraging framework for further growth and visibility, is being prepared. The films which will have their premiere this year, and films which are in pre-production, also, announce the decade of some kind of Montenegrin film renaissance. We are inviting you to jointly participate in these matters. The future is in the hand’s reach... On the next pages we will represent you some short overview of the films which were Montenegrin production and coproduction in the last few years, and some of the projects which are in the pre-production phase.

Macedonia, a small country in the heart of the Balkans, is five hundred years under the Turkish yoke. The action takes place in the post revolutionary period after 1903, more precisely in the first decade of the 20th century. “To the Hilt” is a love quadrangle between a cruel though romantic rebel, a merciless naturalized Turkish officer, an educated wealthy father’s son and a lucid, spoiled and “avant-garde” European woman who has three of them wrapped around her little finger. The film unveils a harsh though romantic story in which the eternal Macedonian cause for own identity and independence is seen from the angle of illusion and relativity of freedom, justice, love, happiness, sacrifice, lies and treason. All experienced with catharsis that rises up to the top. To be more precise, all of the action is marked with the typical Balkans paradox lifted up to the level of the undisputed philosophical maxima: “Fuck life if you are not ready to die for it”. This is a film about the dialectical encounter between the myths and the anti-myths, a film in which legends and storytelling face the ongoing reality of the cruel life through Macedonian history full of super historical absurd. It’s an Anti Western, a counterpart of the traditional American Western or something we can freely call Macedonian Eastern. This film breaks down the barriers of the space where western and eastern civilization have intertwined for centuries.

Her parents are divorced, and her brother lives abroad. It is summer; she is visiting her extended family in the countryside, seeking time and space to prepare for her university exams. Slowly, she establishes a bond with her cousin Zdravko, who runs a farm with his parents in the declining small village in the mountains of Montenegro, high above the sea. His life revolves around vineyards, orchards, domestic animals and the peculiar elderly members of the family. Zdravko has no siblings and feels pressure because the future of the community rests on him. He is building a new house for himself but, at 39, he is still single. There are no young women in Zdravko’s village. A flashback shows him as a teenage boy infatuated with the East German ice skater Katarina Witt. More than twenty years later, he has hardly moved on – her poster still hangs on the wall above his bed. But there is no sign of any real romance in his life. The guardians of our treasure The guardians of our treasure Čuvari našeg blaga (30’ short) Synopsis Montenegrin cultural heritage, combined with a growing cultural tourism represents, currently the world’s liveliest example of the continuity of spiritual creation.

Montenegro recently listed and recorded over 300 sustainable elements of cultural heritage, therefore it has an unlimited resource of intangible cultural capital.

Contemporary treatment of archetypical scenes deals with key existential terms: love, death, sacrifice,... Quotes included in the whole, and contained in almost every detail, guide us to an attempt of new reading of universal themes. Thus, first story (The Marriage) tells us about the man who regularly visits the same prostitute every night simulating marriage; traditional forms and rituals of behaving show hollow shell. In the second story (Service) the young man, after the bachelor’s party, wakes in the hotel and in his bed finds dead prostitute. In order to get out of the situation he will need the service which will put his love on the greatest temptation. Third story (The Return) is, in some way, closing of the circuit: young man who is in platonic love with, for him, inaccessible girl, gets in paradoxical situation to be alone with her only in the moment, when she’s dead. The Black Pin The Black Pin Igla ispod praga (90’, feature) Synopsis Father Peter is afraid that universe is indifferent. God no longer intervenes. His wife abandoned him. His son rebels against him. And his mother seldom recognizes him thanks to Alzheimer’s. When Peter becomes an obstacle to a large property sale in his parish, the group of colorful, but also vengeful villagers decides to chase him away. Their creative ways made entire superstitious village believe that Peter is the cause of all troubles on the peninsula. Their clash escalates on a funeral of a supposed witch that they turn into surreal mayhem. Peter’s faith in people completely vanishes, but his enemies may show kindness when he needs it the most.

A Head Full of Joy A Head Full of Joy Puna glava radosti (20’ , short) Synopsis A middle-aged man goes to a psychoanalyst, at the insistence of his mother, but without belief that session could help him in any way. After the initial discontent and anxiety, he gets involved into the therapy more deeply, and when he leaves the psychotherapist` s office he finds himself in a good mood, he is almost euphoric. But his wrongly parked car will be a good enough reason for him to return to the dark room of his own psychosis and to swoop down to the reality in a brutal, violent way.

Europe is facing the outbreak of an all-out war, and its reflections are being felt in the glamorous hotel, too. Sports and architectural icon Momcilo Tapavica introduces young musicians to the secret of hertz minute – a way to reaching a kind of perfection. Mirko, during a life-and-death struggle, reaches the hertz minute and gets rewarded with eternal youth. This turns out to be also his curse, for he becomes witness to and a player in family alienation, but also in all the changes resulting from war, politics and civilization pooled into Herceg Novi, as a metaphorical setting for the entire Europe of the time. Au revoir, Montenegro! Au revoir, Montenegro! Synopsis Pre Production This is a love story in the shadow of war, 1806-1807, between wife of French Marshal de Marmont and one Montenegrin. In the film we follow the fate of two marginal people, whose spiritual, moral and physical bond is stronger than all evil of the world in times in which they live. Their love, although tragically ended, will be pledge for future, for better tradition among the great world and Montenegro.

Some Limitless Freedom Some Limitless Freedom Neka beskrajna sloboda (29 min, documentary, 2013) released Synopsis Documentary In this film on choreography performance, the dance stands for gesture and movement. Young actors by gesture and dance free their emotions, uncertainly, fears, need for closeness, and they tried to overcome the lack of communication.Did “some limitless freedom” create a special intimacy between two young actors-performers, Carmen and Petar?
