Awarded films and workshops by jury members.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival juries will not have an easy task selecting winners among so many films awarded at major international festivals. So let us introduce to you our three juries.

The winner of the main competition program (12 films) will be selected by the main jury consisting of the last year\u2019s laureate of Propeller of Motovun Ninja Thyberg<\/strong>, Polish director\/actor Piotr Domalewski<\/strong> and US-based Croatian filmmaker Goran Duki\u0107<\/strong>. While they are busy passing judgements on the films of the main program, the visitors will be able to pass their judgements on the jury members\u2019 own films! The latest film by Goran Duki\u0107 will be shown in the main program out of competition. This newest film by the author of the favorite Croatian short film Mirta Learns Statistics and the now legendary Wristcutters: A Love Story (a bizarre drama-comedy about suicides who end up in a strange kind of purgatory) confirms Duki\u0107\u2019s love for the unexpected. Even Pigs Go to Heaven<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is a musical about Croatia\u2019s Zagorje province, written by Sandra Antoli\u0107. The narration is provided by animated Jesus Christ and the plot is focused on the love life of a pig called Beba.

The last year\u2019s winner of Motovun, Pleasure<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Ninja Thyberg, takes us to the heart of the US porn industry. Based on the eponymous short film that won Canal Plus Award at the Critics\u2019 Week in Cannes, Pleasure <\/em>premiered at Sundance. If offers a very humane and humoristic perception of a predominantly man\u2019s world from a woman\u2019s perspective.

I Never Cry<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, a film by the awarded director, screenwriter and actor Piotr Domalewski was shown in Motovun last year. Those who missed it will have another chance to see it this year. The plot revolves around Polish teenager Ola who travels to Ireland after sudden death of her father to return his body to Poland. But the only thing Ola is thinking about is the car that her estranged father promised her for her 18th<\/sup> birthday.

The winner of the Motovun Shorts program will be selected by: Jing Haase<\/strong> from Swedish Film Institute, Andrej Korovljev<\/strong>, Croatian filmmaker and short-program co-selector until recently, and Mo Harawe<\/strong>, an Austrian-Somali filmmaker. Motovun audiences know Korovljev by his very popular musical documentary Tusta <\/em>about Branko \u010crnec Tusta, the great front man of the ex-Yugoslav punk-rock scene. Mo Harawe\u2019s work will be represented with two films in Austrian Shorts program: Life on the Horn<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, which premiered in Locarno, and Will My Parents Come to See Me<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, made exclusively with amateur actors \u2013 quite a radical achievement. The film premiered at this year\u2019s Berlinale. The author will share his experience at Short Film Production: Mission Impossible<\/strong> workshop.

The FIPRESCI Award is given by the jury made up of members of the International Federation of Film Critics: Midhat Ajanovi\u0107<\/strong>, Tim Lindemann<\/strong> and Marko Stojiljkovi\u0107<\/strong>. While we\u2019re at it, make sure no to miss a workshop on the dream-like absurd aesthetics of Roy Anderson, conducted by the filmmaker and film theoretician Midhat Ajanovi\u0107: The Aesthetics of Roy Anderson\u2019s Long Shot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
