On Tuesday, on the eve of the opening of Belgrade’s Beldocs Film Festival, festival director Mara Prohaska Markovic sent her condolences to the families of those killed in two mass shootings in Serbia in recent weeks, including one in Belgrade.
After a minute’s silence, Prohaska Markovic presented the films that will screen in the 16th edition of the festival, which runs May 10-17.
The festival opens with Mladen Kovačević’s “Another Spring,” about the 1972 smallpox epidemic in Yugoslavia, and will close with a film about Serbian rapper Dalibor Andonov Gru, “Gru Is Here.”
The program, whose recurrent themes include relationships and the importance of land, has a total of 105 films, among which are nine world and four international premieres, as well 91 Serbian premieres, spread across the two competition programs, and several sidebar sections.

Svetislav Dragomirovic’s dreary documentary film drives the audience through the contorted corners of Stevan’s mind, as he awaits the outcome of his ongoing trial in Malta for sexual offenses. The flow of the film through imagery of empty spaces and quiet rooms, to busy traffic and noisy highways, mirrors the inner contradictions of Stevan - the image of himself as a man fallen victim of brutality and corruption, and the moments of shame that tell a different story.
Stevan, an ex-adult film star from Serbia, ends up in a prison in Malta after an incident of indecent exposure. The film carries Stevan’s voice in recorded phone calls about his position in the system - many with ramblings that carry hints of delusion, and all with an enigmatic desperation to conceal, even from himself, the nature of the offenses he is about to stand trial for.

From its coy Doc NYC synopsis, we learn it’s the story of a 60-year-old retired porn performer from Serbia named Stevan who’s found himself stuck, Kafka-style, in a Maltese jail, accused of indecent exposure. What we don’t learn from that brief description is that Stevan is actually Dragomirovic’s father-in-law, and that the filmmaker received a series of “audio-letters” that Stevan had sent from prison, which form the basis of I’m People, I Am Nobody, an experimental collage that takes us on a shocking […]
