Synopsis / Inspired by short stories of Marcel Ayme.
After half a century of Communism and Atheism - Religion is Back to stay!

But is this disoriented Eastern European society ready for it? A working-class man receives a Halo; a death-row criminal transforms into a baby; an artist discovers that his paintings don't just feed souls, but stomachs too. Breathing the surrealism of Bunuel and rich in distinctive dark comedy, the latest feature from acclaimed Serbian filmmaker, Srdjan Dragojević ("The Parade"), is by far his most ambitious project yet. Set in a post-communist society, riddled with superstition, corruption and hope, three magical stories intertwine over the span of three decades, in a poignantly idiosyncratic exploration of God's miracles.

RADMILO and MIRKO are young and successful gay couple, and they would be a happy couple anywhere else except in - Serbia. They try to live discreetly but still, every day they are abused by the homophobic majority. Mirko is a gay rights activist, and his dream is to organize the first successful PRIDE event in Belgrade. This is almost a "mission impossible"; in 2001, an attempt to hold PRIDE in Belgrade ended up in bloodshed. One decade later, the situation is not much better - nationalist and neo-Nazi organizations prepare another massacre in case of holding the gay parade, while the police refuse to provide protection for the participants. A strange couple arrives in Radmilo's and Mirko's life - LEMON an ex criminal and war veteran, the owner of a small security company and his fiance - PEARL (30) a beauty parlor owner. Radmilo, a successful veterinarian, performs a life-saving operation Lemon's pit-bull terrier, the victim of a drive-by shooting that served as a warning to the dog's master. Mirko runs an agency that organizes sophisticated weddings and now he has the ultimate nightmare clients - Pearl and Lemon. The encounter between these two worlds ends in disaster - yet another humiliation for Radmilo and Mirko. Mirko had enough - not long ago he received Immigrant Visa from Canada and wants to leave the country forever. Radmilo is ready for a desperate measures to keep his partner and their relationship - He offers a deal to Lemon, asking that Lemon's agency provide protection for the Belgrade Pride. In return, Mirko will organize the wedding party for Pearl and Lemon. Lemon reluctantly accepts, but his staff refuses to protect homosexuals. Put in a tight spot, Lemon thinks of his "dear" enemies from the ex-Yu wars. LEMON and RADMILO embark on a recruiting trip all over ex-Yugoslavia. They manage to sign up for their mission: NIKO (45) a Croat war veteran, HALIL (40), a Bosnian Muslim, and AZEM (45), an Albanian from Kosovo. But the handful of "samurai" are yet to face their greatest challenge... THE PARADE, in a tragicomic way, tells the story about ongoing battle between two worlds in contemporary post-war Serbian society - the traditional, oppressive, homophobic majority and a liberal, modern and open-minded minority.

Synopsis / Gritty, complex period piece unfurls circa 1914, against the explosive backdrop of the early-World War I Balkans. In a Serbian village on the banks of the Sava River (which constitutes the border of the Austro-Hungarian Empire), the local population falls into two factions with radically different ideologies: the veterans from prior Balkan conflicts, many of whom are invalids given their war casualties, and the new military recruits - young, strapping and full of vigor. When the Great War formally erupts following the Archduke's assassination, the new recruits of the village march off to the front lines, leaving the invalids behind; many of those who remain willfully and irresponsibly take sexual advantage of the soldiers' wives and sisters. News of this reaches the Serbian High Command shortly before the battles commence; in response, he summons the invalids and places them at the front lines, in an attempt to effectively deal with the guilty parties. Meanwhile, an unexpected romance blossoms between an area policeman, his wife, and a Balkan war invalid.

IN DEVELOPMENT

1999 (THE REJECTS)

Language / Serbian

Genre / drama, dark comedy, musical

Written by / Srdjan Dragojević, Dimitrije Vojnov

Directed by / Srdjan Dragojević

Produced by / Biljana Prvanović, Srdjan Dragojević

Country of production / Serbia

Synopsis / The last part of the trilogy "90`s" after the films "Pretty village, pretty flame" and "The Wounds". The plot of the film takes place in Belgrade, where we follow the main characters during a night in May 1999, while NATO planes and "smart bombs" are bombing Serbia. "Rejects" is, almost certainly, MUSICAL - a genre that does not exist in serbian cinema. Considering ourselves "deadly" seriously, we have often neglected this genre. But, it seems that there is nothing more healing than the same. And in cinema, but also in life. The screenplay "REJECTS" won the first prize and financial support at the Festival in Thessaloniki, at the co-production market - The president of the jury who decided on the best project was Guillermo Arriaga, the writer of the films "Amores Perros" and "Babel".

Despite the resentment of his Dukes, Nikola spares Pasha's life and takes him as a prisoner of war to Cetinje, the capital of Montenegro. As he waits for the Sultan to decide whether he will pay the ransom for his head or not, Pasha is the guest of the only hotel in Cetinje, along with a number of other European representatives who came to watch the battle. Pasha kills time at the poker table, at first with the European diplomats, then with the Montenegrins. The game of poker turns into Pasha's winning streak. The small country of Montenegro starts to lose its centuries-long independence...
