The documentary film, “Dobri luđe,” directed by Milcho Manev, recently premiered to a highly emotional reception at the 32nd Sarajevo Film Festival. The screening of the film drew a strong and palpable response from the assembled audience. Following the conclusion of the projection, the silence in the hall was broken by a considerable and sustained round of applause.
Director Manev remarked on the impact of the viewing experience, stating that the applause evoked a feeling connected to the town of Kochani. The formal viewing was succeeded by an engaging and lively discussion with the audience. This panel conversation was moderated by program selector Rada Shevchik and featured Manev alongside the director of photography, Ivan Ivanovski.
Notably present during the discussion were the individuals featured in the film—survivors of the fire that occurred at the “Pulse” disco in Kochani. The premiere marked a significant moment for the documentary, allowing for immediate dialogue surrounding its themes. The positive reception, highlighted by the loud applause, underscored the emotional resonance of the film’s narrative.
The entire event successfully blended the artistic presentation of the film with a meaningful community engagement, providing a platform for reflection among the participants and the viewing public alike.
