The first feature film by young director Iveta Grófová, Made in Ash (Až do mesta Aš) is harvesting positive reviews from international critics as well as festival awards. At the IFF Bratislava it won Unicredit Bank Award for the best Slovak picture that comes with a financial bonus of €3,000.

And the winners of 14th International Film Festival Bratislava are:

Time flies for all but for few it flies as fast as for those who like to spend it in the twilight of cinema theatres and for whom the projection lamp is all the sun they need. It seems as if we said “Hi!” only yesterday and time to say “Good-bye!” is almost here. But before it comes, be sure you make all the right moves and pick all the right movies today because final impressions from this year’s festival are very likely to stay with you for the whole year until we meet again at the Bratislava International Film Festival’s 15^th edition next November.

The 14th International Film Festival Bratislava will be officially closed by closing ceremony today, and the film fans will have an opportunity to enjoy several quality films since tomorrow in Banská Bystrica. Two Festival Days will offer most famous films by Goran Paskaljević, new documentaries, and also an educational seminar, led by Jaro Vojtek.

Jan Ole Gerster’s debut feature film, Oh Boy, won three awards at the IFF Bratislava: Best Director Award, FIPRESCI Award and FEDEORA Award.
