THE PAPER PRINCE on FEST

THE PAPER PRINCE was first shot as a full feature film, which was proclaimed Best Domestic Short Feature Film at the 2005 Belgrade Festival of Short and Documentary Film. At the same event, it was awarded the Award for Direction and the Special Award “Jovan Acin”, awarded by the Ministry of Culture, the Association of Film Artists and the RTS. The same year, at the Festival of Short Film in Drama in Greece, the THE PAPER PRINCE was part of the top selection for Best Balkan Film and it was also successfully screened at 12 more international festivals.

Considering the success of the short film with the public and the critics, the producer and the team of authors decide to go even further: they filmed additional material for a feature film. The short film „THE PAPER PRINCE" inside the feature film „Princ od papira" was treated as the existing 12 minutes and an additional 66 were shot.

With considerable efforts and sacrifice by the whole crew and with the assistance of the Secretariat for Culture of the City of Belgrade and the Ministry of Culture of Serbia,

„THE PAPER PRINCE" produced by LUKSFILM was finally completed. Made to entertain and inform, „THE PAPER PRINCE" is primarily intended for children, but it is essentially a family film.

The film will be screened as part of the official program of FEST, with one matinee screening at 12.30hrs in Dom Sindikata on the first festival Saturday, February 23rd, 2008.
