The opening film

This year's PÖFF places a special emphasis on SEE* (South-Eastern European) nations like Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia considering 13 films from these countries are on the programme. Yugoslavian Black Wave cinema from 1960s and 1970s has a big impact on this year's retrospect. Check out PÖFF 27 opening film!

The Guardians Of The Formula (dir. Dragan Bjelogrlić) opens this year's festival on the grand Opening Ceremony that takes place on November 3rd at the Alexela Concert Hall. The plot is based on Goran Milašinović's book The Vinča Incident and has received numerous awards including the prestigious Variety Critics' Award at the Locarno Film Festival this summer. The film which is co-produced by Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia discusses the less known involvement of Yugoslavia in the Cold War.

Besides the screening of The Guardians Of The Formula, the opening ceremony will also include the presentation of the festival's prestigious lifetime achievement award, the announcement of the Bruno O'Ya Young Actor scholarship recipients and the Ukrainian audiovisual art piece "Wall Paintings," which makes use of Banksy street art on structures that have been demolished by war to show how war affects people.
