The "Nebojsa Djukelic Award"

The "Nebojsa Djukelic Award" is traditionally awarded in memory and respect of one of the FEST selectors, renown film critic Nebojsa Djukelic, author of the TV program “Moving Pictures”, that had become a synonym for an well-thought, analytical and authoritative approach to interpreting and presenting the art of film. This year, the Association of Film Journalists and Critics of Belgrade and the Film Critics Society award this Award jointly, which will remain a tradition in the future.

In quest of a film, from the program of this year’s FEST, which is first and foremost the result of inspiration, but at the same time a film with integrity, recognizable and different by the virtue of its expression and style, we have agreed that this year’s “Nebojsa Djukelic Award” is to go to the Israeli film “The Band’s Visit” of novice director Eran Kolirin.

 The Jury for “Nebojsa Djukelic Award”: Dubravka Vojvodic, Bogdan Zlatic and Ivan Arandjelovic, members of the Film Critics Society and the Association of Film Journalists and Critics of Belgrade.
