February 06, 2024, 19:35 PM S.Ć.

Žarko Laušević's last film "The Russian Consul" closes this year's Fest. Apart from this film, there are three more domestic productions on the program

The film "Russian Consul", the last film in which Žarko Laušević acted, will be shown at the closing of the 52nd Fest in Belgrade on March 3.

"The Russian Consul" is based on the novel of the same name by Vuk Drašković, and it was directed by Miroslav Lekić.

Žarko Laušević plays a professor of history, a "Russian consul" apparently a psychiatric patient, who claims that soon "Russia will become Russia again, and Kosovo will be Serbian again."

Apart from this, three more local films are announced at the upcoming Fest: "The Working Class Goes to Hell" by Mladen Đorđević, "Lilacs" by Siniša Cvetić and "Za danas tolok" by Marko Đorđević.

"The Working Class Goes to Hell" is a dark drama about a group of former workers who, after losing loved ones, jobs and dignity in a fire and dubious privatization, resort to the supernatural in the fight for justice. Director Marko Đorđević previously attracted a lot of attention with the film "The Life and Death of a Porn Gang", and he participated in the Fest with the film "Twilight in the Vienna Haustor".

"Lilacs" is Sinisa Cvetić's first full-length film, and it deals with the face and face of the film and TV industry in Serbia, whose characters are played by Sloboda Mićalović, Ivan Bosiljčić, Gordan Kicić, Mima Karadžić, Nebojša Dugalić...

"So much for today" by Marko Đorđević tells the story of a family who manage to turn real time into a fairy tale about happy people, in love with life, who disperse the clouds with cheerfulness. Marko Đorđević's previous, debut film "My Morning Laughter" was awarded multiple times.

This year's 52nd Fest starts on February 23.

RTS: Bombs, kidnappings and arson - isolated incidents or a return to the nineties

In a short space of time, Belgrade was shaken by incidents that resemble scenes from darker periods of the city's everyday life, RTS reminds. Most often, the lowest executors appear before the court, while the principals remain beyond the reach of the judiciary. Are we going back to the dark nineties?

Laziness, lack of effort to defeat ourselves

The ancient sages did not know how to image the brain and count the molecules in the blood, but they still tried to teach us that the basis of a fulfilled life is in the ever-present challenge and that, if life itself does not bring it, you have to "invent" something that will motivate you to fight

During the opening of the Olympics, the most positive qualities of man and nation were promoted, in the spirit of peace and tolerance. Paradoxically, the focus was neither on victory, nor on the desire to be the best, but rather that the athletes, as ambassadors of their countries, compete and participate in something that is bigger and more important than each individual.

When we blow and fire, we will destroy Ćaciland

Milo Đukanović ruled Montenegro for 32 years. Vučić would at least trade Serbia that much, which means another 18 years - with the police force, secret services, paramilitary party formations, restrained judiciary and enraged tabloids.
