Acclaimed Serbian feature focusing on the drastic lengths a man will go to attain legal status in the EU.
Kenedi is in huge debt to some scary gangsters after building a house for his family. He finds himself searching for any kind of work to support himself, for as little as €10 per day, a scarce amount to help him relieve his debt. Ultimately, Kenedi decides to look for money in the sex business, offering sex both to women and men. When he finds out about new liberal European laws on gay marriage, Kenedi sees prospects in looking for “marriage material” to renew his search for legal status in the EU.
While this is a fictional feature, Kenedi is Getting Married sequels two documentaries with the same subject matter.

The story of one of the 20th century’s most important and mysterious scientists brought to life through dance.
Taking place at the height of Nikola Tesla’s success and fame in 1900s New York, the ballet adaptation focuses on his intimate friendship with eminent romantic poet Robert Johnson and his wife Katharine. Based on their written correspondence, it appears that Tesla and Katherine shared a deep affection for each other. It has been interpreted that their ensuing romance culminated in Katherine’s illness and eventual death.

A unique story which historically tries to describe many events in the pre-First World War Sarajevo.
This film is a unique take on pre-First World War Sarajevo, seen through the eyes of the first Bosnian motion picture cameraman Anton Walitz. His excavations on this period have become significant in the county’s cultural history. We witness the preparation and the execution of Franz Ferdinand’s assassination. Belle Epoque brings dramatic humour and wit to what would otherwise be known as a distressing time at beginning of the century in the Balkans.
