At VRMDŽA FEST, the documentary series ‘Look Around You’ by the Association ‘ZA ČESME’

In Vrmdža near Sokobanja, at the foot of Latin Grad, the 8th International Festival of Tourist and Environmental Documentary Films “Vrmdža Fest” will be held this Saturday.

The film screenings will be outdoors, and the audience will have the opportunity to see the best works from the competitive section of the festival. This year, a total of 60 films by 42 authors from the country and the region have been submitted.

Among the selected films is the two-part investigative documentary “Life and Death of the Golden River” – “Cheap Justice,” produced by the Association ZA ČESME as part of the series “Look Around You,” funded by the EU through the project “Environmental Response to Mining Expansion in Timočka Krajina.” The executive production is by ZA MEDIA, with Dušan Vovodić as the editor, and Suzana Stamenković and Darinka Mihajlović as the authors. The cinematographers are Dejan Todorović, Dragan Lazarević, Davor Pujić, and David Todorović, the editor is Ivan Čikarić, and the narrator is Ana Vojvodić.

As a reminder, the documentary was shown in mid-June this year in Niš during the EU GREEN WEEK and published on the website of the European Union Delegation in Serbia: https://europa.rs/zivot-i-smrt-zlatonosne-reke/.

The festival organizer is the Local Action Group Lag Rtanj, a private-public action partnership covering the municipalities of Sokobanja and Boljevac, and the festival partner is Forum Artistikum. The logistical support for the festival comes from the Local Community of Vrmdža and the Cultural Center of Sokobanja, with the patronage of the Municipality of Sokobanja.
