Pasqua, a project of Ivan Marinovic, student of FAMU MFA program, was awarded at Crossroads - 5th Co-production Forum.
The winning project is a collaboration of contributors and agencies from three different countries, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Montenegro. The producer of the awarded film project was also presented with an accreditation for the Cannes Festival Producer’s Network in 2010 and the opportunity to present his project at the Sofia Meetings of Sofia’s Film Festival in 2010. A cash prize of 10.000 euros, accompanies the award.


“The project is a fresh and cliché-free story on harsh economic realities. We firmly believe the director can give life to this story and make a film for the big screen. This is why we selected the project for the 10.000 euros prize”, explained Ms Loveridge, member of the jury.


Taking the floor, winner Ivan Marinovic thanked his producer, Branislav Sdric, stressing that “in our time, it is important to have people who believe in and support young and talented filmmakers”. Mr Sdric said: “I know a good film when I see one, so when I read this script, I realized it is very good. I told Ivan we can make the movie and that filming could begin in March 2011”.
