The K\u00fcstendorf Film and Music Festival<\/span><\/a> is the film event created by the well-known filmmaker and professor, Emir Nemanja Kusturica, organised by the production company Rasta International, with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia. <\/span><\/p>\n

Emir Kusturica, as a cineaste is largely acclaimed for his films that tackle political struggle with reveries of unyielding optimism. His most acclaimed feature films include When Father Was Away on Business<\/i> <\/b>and Underground<\/i><\/b>, that won him the Palme d\u2019Or at the Cannes Film Festival; Arizona Dream<\/i><\/b> <\/i>awarded with a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival; as well as Black Cat, White Cat<\/i><\/b> <\/i>that won a Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival. The multi-hyphenated artist is also a musician, who enjoys touring with his The No Smoking Orchestra<\/i> to perform traditional folk music.<\/span><\/p>\n

All his talents have merged in the kermesse of K\u00fcstendorf. The name means \u2018City of the Arts\u2019 in German, and was suggested to Kusturica by his friend, screenwriter and playwright Peter Handke, who attended the first edition. It is utterly fitting since it\u2019s also a word play on German \u2018dorf\u2019 (village) and Kusturica’s nickname, \u2018Kusta.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The extraordinary trait about this cinematic gathering is the setting and how it came to life, that attest how the Bosnian-bon Serbian film director-screenwriter-actor-producer-musician is also a town-builder. It is in Serbia, that the one of the most-distinguished European filmmakers created a little town out of nowhere to provide jobs for locals. The fairytale village of Drvengrad (Timber Town) is the one that he initially created for his film Life Is A Miracle<\/i><\/b>, for which he received the Philippe Rotthier European Architecture Award from the Brussels Foundation for Architecture. In fact all the constructions of the \u2018City of Trees\u2019 are made out of wood.<\/span><\/p>\n

The town is articulated with streets named after individuals that the director holds dear, such as Nikola Tesla, Ernesto \u2018Che\u2019 Guevara, Diego Maradona, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman and many more. There is also a library, named after Ivo Andri\u0107 and an artist gallery named Macola in honour of sculptor Dragan Jovi\u0107evi\u0107 (it was previously known as Anika<\/i>, after a character from Andri\u0107\u2019s prose). Drvengrad has all the elements a town needs: a sports hall, a restaurant, a cake shop, cinema-halls such as the Stanley Kubrick Theater and the Damned Yard Theater, and even a souvenir shop. Besides the main house, and other surrounding residences in the main communal buildings there is even an indoor swimming pool. But the real treat is the Serbian-Orthodox Church dedicated to Holy Sava, and if some festival editions coincide with Serbian New Year visitors have the chance to admire the orthodox celebrations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drvengrad is located on Me\u0107avnik hill in the Mokra Gora\u00a0nature park, the meeting point of the beautiful mountains Tara and Zlatibor. The ethno-village is not far from that actual village of Mokra Gora (that means \u2018Wet Mountain\u2019) in Western Serbia. It is easily reachable from Drvengrad on foot, while strolling through the woods, wandering through an enchanting winter wonderland. Here one can admire the 2003 reconstruction of a narrow gauge railway called \u0160argan Eight which is unique in the world and was actually used as one of the sets of Kusturica\u2019s film. Its route, viewed from the sky, looks like the sign of infinity, i.e. the number 8. The number is significant because it is since 2008 that Drvengrad hosts the annual K\u00fcstendorf Film and Music Festival<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Kusturica\u2019s esteem for Ivo Andri\u0107<\/span><\/a> \u2014 who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961 \u2014 is further attested by the fact that he built a town in his name: Andri\u0107grad, i.e. Andri\u0107\u2019s town. The town is also known as Kamengrad, which signifies \u2018Stonetown,\u2019 since all houses are built in stone, as opposed to the wooden homes in Drvengrad. Unlike Kustendorf that is nestled in Serbia, Andri\u0107grad is in Vi\u0161egrad<\/span>,<\/span> which is located in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Painter Bisenija Tere\u0161\u010denko made a mosaic that resembles being in the nature, socialising and visiting this area. The idea of a mural with members of \u2018Mlada Bosna\u2019 was inspired by Prof. Kusturica, who wanted to perpetuate the memory of the young men who gave their lives for the ideals of freedom. Close to the town is the Mehmed Pa\u0161a Sokolovi\u0107 Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this premise the attendees of the K\u00fcstendorf Film and Music Festival<\/span><\/a> have plenty of extraordinary sites to visit. But the sightseeing experiences blend majestically with the utmost progressive expression of the arts, with musical performances and above all cinematic events. Every year the festival has a motto and this year\u2019s catchphrase was\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cNot Surveillance, Cinematography!<\/i>\u201d Indeed the 2024 edition abided by this calling, leaving utter freedom to all cinephiles to celebrate the seventh art in all its forms.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 17<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> edition of the K\u00fcstendorf Film and Music Festival<\/span><\/a> kicked off on January\u00a023<\/span>rd<\/sup><\/span> and ran until the 27<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span>, hosting both cinema students and internationally renowned directors. Kusturica\u2019s bond with Italy is strong, since every year he has Italian filmmakers as guests and this 2024 edition welcomed directors from the boot-shaped land. Matteo Garrone<\/span><\/a>, whose film I, Captain<\/i><\/b> \u2014 that won the Silver Lion at the 80<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> Venice Film Festival \u2014 was screened for the Kustendorf\u2019s Opening Ceremony, part of the section Contemporary Trends<\/i>. The prize of the festival \u2018Tree of Life\u2019 was awarded to the award-winning Italian director, who received the recognition with gratitude and is currently one of the 2024 Oscar nominees for Best International Feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In attendance and also part of Contemporary Trends<\/i> were also Edoardo De Angelis with a screening of the film Comandante <\/i><\/b>and Giacomo Abbruzzese with his picture Disco Boy<\/i><\/b>, winner of the Silver Bear at the 2023 Berlinale. There was no shortage of established filmmakers from the Serbian motherland, such as Vladimir Peri\u0161i\u0107, whose film Lost Country<\/i><\/b> had previously been presented at the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes in 2023, where Jovan Ginic obtained the Best Young Actor Award. What completed the Contemporary Trends<\/i> was Russian filmmaker Ilya Zhetlyakov’s The Last Motorship<\/i><\/b>, set in a remote village on the Barents Sea, in Arctic Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as part of the Retrospective programme there were films such as On the Waterfront<\/i><\/b> by director Elia Kazan from 1954, the silent film Greed<\/i><\/b> from 1924 by Erich von Stroheim, The Wishing Tree<\/i><\/b> from 1976 by Georgian director Tengiz Abuladze, and Federico Fellini\u2019s masterpiece 8\u00bd<\/i><\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 2024 edition also introduced a novel section dedicated to New Auteurs<\/i>, i.e. filmmakers who participated at the Kustendorf festival with their short-student films, who in the meantime managed to make their feature debut. This initiative connects the past with the present, since also Edoardo de Angelis and Giacomo Abruzzese had once participated to the Short Film competition in Kustendorf, just like the directors of this year\u2019s New Authors<\/i>: Sonya Karpunina with Desperate For Marriage<\/i><\/b>, Basil Khalil with A Gaza Weekend<\/i><\/b>, Ali Asgari and Alireza Khatami with Terrestrial Verses<\/i><\/b> and Luka Popadic\u0301 My Swiss Army<\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the heart of the K\u00fcstendorf Film and Music Festival<\/span><\/a> is the Competition<\/i> Programme.<\/i> This year 17 shorts ran against each other, out of the 536 that were submitted during this edition, made by directors from Serbia, Austria, Finland, Greece, Poland, Sweden, Germany, USA, Egypt, Mexico, Uzbekistan, North Macedonia, India, Czech Republic, Croatia and Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n

The international jury was made up by Italian writer Sandro Veronesi, Serbian actress Bojana Panic\u0301, and Muzafarkon Erkinov, film director from Uzbekistan. The Vilko Fila\u010d Award for the Best Cinematography was deliberated by directors of photography Vladan Radovic\u0301 and Michel Amatie, who assigned the recognition to Malin Ingrid Johansson, whilst the Special Mention Award was given to Nikos Kyritis and another Special Mention Award for the Camera went to Tin Ostro\u0161ic.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the podium with the Bronze Egg there was David Ga\u0161o, Vivek Rai received the Silver Egg and The Golden Egg went to the film Violet Country<\/i><\/b> directed by Mikhail Gorobchuk. The Closing Ceremony was further feasted with the performance by the\u00a0 <\/span>Marko Louise band.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few years ago, French producer Claudie Ossard defined the K\u00fcstendorf Film and Music Festival<\/span><\/a> unique in the world, for the proximity it allows between its guests and talent. This trait has proved itself also during the 17<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> edition, allowing attendees to no only be inspired, but also mingle with the cinephile guests.<\/span><\/p>\n
