The Adriatic Film and TV Awards has announced its nomination slate, recognizing outstanding cinema and television productions from seven countries in the region: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Slovenia, and Serbia.
‘DJ Ahmet,’ directed by Georgi M. Unkovski, emerged as the leading contender in the film categories with seven nominations. The production, a co-production among North Macedonia, Czech Republic, Serbia, and Croatia, previously earned recognition at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won both the Audience Award and the Special Jury Award for Creative Vision. ‘Yugo Florida’ secured the second-highest number of nominations with six, while ‘Wind, Talk to Me,’ ‘Mother,’ and ‘God Will Not Help’ each received five nominations.
In the television categories, ‘Black Sun’ and ‘The Hollow’ lead with four nominations each. ‘Komar’ and ‘Shame’ follow with three nominations apiece. The nominations were determined through voting by more than 800 members of the Film and TV Academy of the Adriatic Region, comprising film and television professionals from the participating countries. These academy members will now select the winners across all categories.
The awards ceremony is scheduled for Oct. 24 in Porto Montenegro, located in Tivat, Montenegro. The Film and TV Academy of the Adriatic Region, which organizes these awards, was established through collaboration among three major regional film festivals: the Sarajevo Film Festival, Auteur Film Festival Belgrade, and Zagreb Film Festival.
