The third festival "Ubrzaj" begins

The film "Marina Abramović: the artist is present" opens the human rights festival tonight, organized for the third time by the Center for Civic Education (CGO).

The "Acceleration" festival will last until December 15, and the film about the famous artist, directed by Matthew Aker, will be shown tonight at the Montenegrin National Theater starting at 18:30 p.m.

After the screening of the film about Abramović, the screening of the film "Faces of the Revolution" by Vladimir Milovanović will begin tonight at 21 p.m.

The face of the revolution tells about Branko Ilic, one of the leaders of the rebellion against the Milosevic regime in Serbia in the period 1998-2000. and the leader of the Otpor student movement. Exactly ten years after the October XNUMX revolution, Branko returns to Belgrade from voluntary exile in his native Arilje.

He gets a job as a bartender and temporarily moves in with Švaba, an old friend from the time of the protests. During that time, the well-known advertising agency where Švaba is employed is busy preparing a big campaign for the promotion of consumer loans.

Švaba and Branko decide to mark the tenth anniversary of the fall of the Milosevic regime in front of the Serbian Parliament on October 5. After the action, in the intertwining of real and fictional figures and events, the masks of the traumatized Serbian society stuck in the transition between socialism and capitalism fall, leaving the viewers the possibility to draw the line between documentary and fictitious. The film was awarded at Beldocs and the Sarajevo Film Festival.

Festival Ubrzaj will present an extraordinary selection of 16 films about human rights, produced around the world during 2011 and 2012, which have already won countless nominations, awards and recognitions at the world's most famous festivals.
