On 26 January at the Sundance Film festival which was held in Park City, USA, film ”Circles” by Srdan Golubović was proclaimed the Winner of the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award. Film will have its European premiere in Berlin and regional in Belgrade.
Film ”Circles” talks about Srđan Aleksić, an amateur actor, prospective swimmer, and a soldier during the War in BiH who lost his life while defending an ethnic Bosniak, his friend. Aleksić received several posthumous awards.
”Circles” unfolds as a triptych, exploring the moral convolutions and complex story strands that emerge from one fateful moment.
With its gorgeous cinematography and simmering tension, Srdan Golubović’s third feature (The Trap, 2007, garnered great acclaim) employs a multifaceted, yet simple, structure that contemplates revenge, redemption, and reconciliation. Aware of how easily hatred and violence can create life-shattering ripples, Golubović looks at the consequences of moral courage, asking whether a heroic act can generate ripples of another kind.
