- DirectorFrank Rajah AraseStarsOdunlade AdekolaNancy AmehSaidi BalogunInspired by true events, The Legend of Inikpi tells the story of a well-loved Igala princess 'Inikpi' whose very breath holds the destiny of the Igala nation. Set in the 16th century, before the coming of the colonialists, an impending war looms over the flourishing Igala Kingdom from the mighty Bini Kingdom led by Oba Esigie. To avert this war, King Attah Ayegba of Igala Kingdom consults the oracle to know the mind of the gods. When the Oracle informs the King of the human sacrifice demanded by the gods, the king plunges into despair; haunted by the ghosts of his past, this is a sacrifice he is not prepared to give. The Legend of Inikpi tells the story of two ancient kingdoms in West African history where traditions and culture run deep and where the gods through their oracles decide the fate of nations of people. Who will save the Igala kingdom? Will the egos of two great kings be controlled? Will victory come from war and the death of tens of thousands? Or will the life of the innocent beloved princess Inikpi be indispensable to the gods of war?
- DirectorSanjin MiricStarsJelena CiricSrdjan JablanovicJugoslav JosipovicSEVEN THOUSAND SOULS is a documentary - a feature film about the suffering of Serbian and Russian soldiers and interned civilians in Austro-Hungarian camps on the territory of today's Czech Republic, Jindrihovice and Broumov. The camps had about 500 facilities where there were about 60,000 prisoners of war. Extremely difficult working conditions, no food, no shoes and clothes, winter and infectious diseases, all this affected the fact that 7,100 Serbs did not survive the camps. There is a mausoleum in Jindrihovice where the remains are victims of these camps - 7100 Serbs and 189 Russians. It is the second largest Serbian tomb in the world. The film also contains memories of soldiers who survived the camps, writen by a Dutch journalist Henri Aber in 1919. The descendants of soldiers from Serbia also speak in the film. The topic of Serbian prisoners and internees from the First World War is a neglected topic and even today, during the first centenary of the end of the First World War, they are completely forgotten and this injustice has not been corrected. From the time of the war, it seems that they could not fit into that, say, warrior, liberation narrative, where, above all, a soldier with a rifle in his hand was valued. If you look at any Serbian military monument, it is usually a soldier holding a rifle that is raised high. We have only a couple of sculptures of Serb civilians who died ... there are no monuments or they are very rare that generally concern the role of civilians, let alone civilians who were in slavery. But, as defined by the military legislation, a prisoner is someone who, by force of circumstances, ended up in captivity and he continues to perform his military duty. We can say the same for the civilian internees, that they were citizens of the Kingdom of Serbia who remained to be citizens even though they were faced with these completely unexpected and terrible opportunities. It is very unfortunate that, practically, for a whole century, they remain outside the collective memory of the Serbian people, even though it is a very dramatic suffering. I just think that these people were unfairly marginalized and almost thrown out of our general perception of the First World War. The film stars Lordan Zafranovic, Jelena Ciric, priest Srdjan Jablanovic, etc. and the narrator is Jim High. Duration 59 minutes. Director, Sanjin Miric (born in Visoko, BiH, permanent residence in the Czech Republic) Production, RODOLJUB z.s. Czech-Serbian Friendship Association Prague

- DirectorPamela SturhoofdJessica van TijnTruus Wijsmuller saved the lives of thousands of Jewish children just before and during the Second World War. The decisiveness and perseverance of this Dutch woman mean that she belongs to a very select group of resistance heroes in the world. Yet it has remained relatively unknown in the Netherlands until now. Thanks to her enormous effort, ingenuity and courage, Truus Wijsmuller brought more than 10,000 mainly Jewish children to safety in the darkest years of our modern history. In this documentary, some of these children, who are now elderly, tell about the special deeds of the resistance woman. Friends of Truus also tell what kind of a woman she was.
