ZFF In Full Speed, 2nd Day

Despite of the lousy weather, ZFF headed straight forward on it's second day to fulfill it's mission: screening ninety films in only seven days. Festival's boss Boris T. Matić is extremely happy that ZFF's fifth birthday edition is celebrated in a working spirit. That means showing second films by authors that have won previous editions with their debut films. Yesterday, we screened Li Yang's 'Blind Mountain', a film that follows an uneven destiny of young Chinese girl who was kidnapped, sold to a man and raped.

The director Li Yang, who flew from Hawaii just to be in Zagreb to present the film said that his film was inspired by actual event he once heard on the news. To preserve the authentic atmosphere, he hired non-professional actors for all roles, except the leading one. Yang also announced his third movie that will deal with Chinese people from the bottom of the social scale. A new film by Andrei Zvyagincev was also screened yesterday, and if you want to see what it all looked like - check our PHOTO GALLERY here.

A documentary ‘NATO Bombed My Family' by Dana Jurčić opened a 5th ZFF documentary section yesterday. The director presented the movie explaining how she herself felt guilty when NATO bombed her family in Serbia. She said that she wanted to portrait them and show people in Vancouver that they are good people. Marko Šantić presented his short 'The Hole', saying that he has no intentions of filming his feature yet.
