FILM ABOUT ĐURO DAMJANOVIĆ WINS AWARD IN PORTUGAL

The film "Fog in Hands" by Milana Majar was awarded Best Film in the competition for the world premiere at the 28th International Meeting of Film, Television, and Multimedia – Avanca in Portugal.

This film, produced by Radio Television of the Republic of Srpska, narrates the tragic fate of the last Banja Luka bohemian, writer Đuro Damjanović, who embodied everything he wrote about through his own life.

Ignoring material values and symbols of success and power, he believed that life confirms its meaning only when a person dies. Life did not allow him to write everything he wanted, but his best book continues to be written, stated the press release.

The International Meetings of Film, Television, Video, and Multimedia – Avanca, were held this year under the motto "Freedom, Freedom."

The event focused on 50 films from Portuguese and European cinematography.

It is one of the oldest festivals in Portugal and the only one that brings together works from the fields of television, video, and multimedia content. It showcases the largest number of world premieres compared to all other festivals in Portugal, Iberia, and Lusophony.

"Fog in Hands" will have its premiere at this year's "Kočić's Gathering" in Banja Luka, followed by a screening for the audience in Belgrade.
