Special mention: Mura: The Cradle of Life, directed by Jože Glažar.
The Honorary Tree of Eden for Lifetime Achievement was solemnly given to Mako Sajko who gave the charmed audience a rare opportunity to see his sometimes provocative (Where is the Iron Curtain) , sometimes lighthearted (Traditional Costume), sometimes frightening (Poison) or sad (Attention Suicidals), but always witty and to-the-point short documentaries with his personal introduction, giving even further insight into the making of the films and controversy which surrounded his work, causing him to stop making films in 1975 and his masterpieces to be withheld from public view for decades.
