He was born in 1949 in Belgrade, in Topčider, where he still lives in his family home. The courtyard of this house had the part in Serbian pop culture that Aristotle’s garden had in Classical philosophy. The idea about first open-air rock concerts was born here, like Bijelo Dugme‘s concert at Hajdučka česma in 1977 and the greatest Yugoslav pop star Zdravko Čolić’s concert at Marakana. The latter was part of the singer’s tour Travelling earthquakewhen the documentary I sing day and night was filmed, with Petar Popović’s nonintrusive interviews as part of it. The courtyard of Peca’s house saw the change of an influential new-wave band’s name from Dečaci to Idoli (Boys to Idols), the first performances of some epic pop and rock songs, and was even described in the book by Boban Petrović Rokanje (Rockin’). In 1984, Popović also came up with the name Instruktori, the name of Momčilo Bajagić’s band performing at this year’s Küstendorf. Peca Popović edited and wrote for magazines such as Džuboks and Rok (Jukeboxand Rock). He wrote the book Rokopisi (Rockscripts) and co-wrote Biti rokenrol (Being Rock rock’n’roll) with Mihajlo Pantić, joining this music genre and literature. Peca Popović made rock’n’roll part of the Yugoslav and Serbian mainstream culture. His view of these events was also shown in the film Trapped Time. Vlastimir Sudar Vlastimir Sudar was born in Sarajevo where he grew up and completed his secondary education. Since August 1992 he has lived in London, where he started studying at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in October 1993. He graduated in 1997 with his short lm Out, which was screened at an experimental lm festival at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona. After graduation, he directed a number of short lms, which were screened at various recognised festivals in London, Berlin and Madrid. He also made short promotional music videos, as well as promotional fashion videos. Of the latter, he made one in collaboration with the celebrated photographer Nick Knight and cult designer Peter Saville, known for his record sleeves for Joy Division. He also made two pop-videos Alone and You think it’s cool… for Bus 47, a London based hip-hop duo from Belgrade, and both were screened on Serbian television in late nineties. In the autumn of 1999, he returned to Central Saint Martins. In January 2004, he started his PhD as part of a research project in Balkan Cinema. He submitted his doctoral thesis on the work of Aleksandar Saša Petrović in 2007 at the University of Saint Andrews in Scotland. His book, A Portrait of the Artist as a Political Dissident: The Life and Work of Aleksandar Petrović, based on his doctoral thesis was published by Intellect in Bristol, in 2013. He has taught history and theory of cinema at Oxford Brooks University and the University of the Arts and Goldsmiths College in London. He currently teaches at Kingston University in London. He has published a number of essays mainly on Balkan cinema, and regularly contributes to Sight and Sound magazine. He is a co-author and co-producer of the film Borders, Raindrops. Vilko Filač Award JuryIstván Borbás István Borbás was born in 1954 in Budapest, Hungary. The Swedish commercial and feature film cinematographer began his work with Roy Andersson in 1984. During the past 30 years that he has spent at Studio 24, they have created countless commercials and films of different lengths, from 15 seconds to 2 hours. He has also participated in the creation and shaping of books, exhibitions, commercial and billboard campaigns. All of these projects have had the ambition to portray human joy, sorrows and vulnerability in environments and situations we can all identify with. If shown in a specific way, even the most trivial situation (space, light, characters) can succeed in giving us a very precise description of human existence. Most of these projects have received much attention both in Sweden and internationally. This confirms that it is possible and important to use images to influence our conditions in life and our view on existence. His most recent work with Roy Andersson, A Pigeon sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence received the Golden Lion at the 2014 Venice Film Festival.
