Beldocs chose a film by Želimir Žilnik to start its 18th edition. It will be followed by another 83 documentaries, among which there are films about animals, which have not been shown until now
Želimir Žilnik, one of the most important filmmakers from the extension of the former Yugoslavia, returned to the Berlinale and with the film "Restitution, or, The Dream and the Jaws of the Old Guard" again criticizes state injustice
The case of eminent directors Goran Marković, Želimir Žilnik and Srđan Dragojević has been before the Administrative Court for two years, with no indication that it will be concluded.
The Government of Serbia appointed Miroslav Lekić as the president of the new Board of Directors of the Film Center. He was a member in the previous convocation, consistent in his position that Goran Marković, Želimir Žilnik and Srđan Dragojević should not be given money for new films. And recently he defended Aleksandar Vucic against Balša Đog
"Of course, everything depends on who will be the members of the new Board of Directors of the Film Center of Serbia." It would be good if they were people involved in film, and not from the ranks of the political establishment. It has been shown in practice so far that this is not the case"

Four out of nine members of the Board of Directors of the Film Center of Serbia have resigned. If one more member resigns, the FCS Board of Directors headed by Jelena Trivan would cease to exist in this convocation. The dispute was caused by the lack of co-financing of films by Goran Marković, Želimir Žilnik and Srđan Dragojević.
The Board of Directors of the Film Center of Serbia, chaired by Jelena Trivan, refused without explanation to co-finance the films of Srđan Dragojević, Goran Marković and Želimir Žilnik. He did it "because he can", says Dragojević
