The 17th edition of the “Macedox” Festival of Creative Documentary Film commenced on August 20th with a traditional performance by the Kuršumlija crew for the audience. The film program ceremony was attended by Sara Ferro and Darko Nabakov, representing the entire “Macedox” team. Speakers announced that the festival would run from August 20th to the 27th, operating under the guiding motto, “Only sound is truth.” While this motto might suggest an escape from reality, organizers framed it as a necessary “counter-reality.” According to the team, the core objective is to deconstruct reality itself—a process involving creation, exploration, performance, and maintaining belief in the infinite potential of the intangible.
The sentiment expressed is that a film is essentially a “sonheit”—a concept or vision—that an artist successfully translates onto the visual canvas. This year’s focus is encapsulated by the motto, which suggests a single, defining visit to this alternative space. The event continues to position itself as a platform dedicated to exploring truth through the medium of documentary filmmaking, emphasizing the power of sound and narrative construction.
