SARAJevo, (Patria) - On this day, the film "Grbavica" by Bosnian director Jasmila Žbanić won the Golden Bear at the 56th Berlin International Film Festival.
The main award was won in competition with 19 films.
The jury, consisting of: Charlotte Rampling (Great Britain), Matthew Barney (United States), Yash Chopra (India), Marleen Gorris (Netherlands), Janusz Kamiński (Poland), Armin Mueller-Stahl (Germany), Fred Roos (United States), and Lee Young-ae (South Korea) decided to award the main prize to the film "Grbavica" by director Jasmila Žbanić.
"Grbavica" is Jasmila's first feature-length fiction film, and in addition to the Golden Bear, the film also received a special award from the Ecumenical Jury and the Peace Prize.
"Grbavica" is the story of a single mother, Esma, who wants to fulfill her twelve-year-old daughter's wish and afford her a school trip. To get a discount on the trip, Sara needs a certificate stating that her father died as a martyr. Esma persistently avoids giving her the certificate. She would rather find a way to pay the full price of the excursion. She believes that by not telling her daughter the truth about her father, she has protected both herself and her.
