Ester Ivakič,
(Slovenia, Bosnia, 2025, 109 min.)
Reports
Jury Statement:
A sensitive and profound film about coming to terms with life and death, entirely carried by the pre-adolescent lead actress, inhabited by her character. A film that lives in the space between worlds, where atmosphere and subtlety outweigh explicit explanation. It creates an authentic feeling of childhood in the countryside, woven through with elements of magical realism that reflect the main character’s emotions. The FIPRESCI Prize goes to Ester Ivakič’s film Ida, ki je pela tako grdo, da so še mrtvi vstali od mrtvih in zapeli z njo.
