As the famed International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) returns with a bang after the Covid pandemic, its 27th edition will be held here from December 9 to 16, and this time, Serbia will be the Country in Focus.

Six Serbian films are slated to be screened in this category including Milos Pusic’s ‘Working Class Heroes’ which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival this year.

Along with that, Oscar nominated director Stefan Arsenijevic’s vividly crafted and performed drama ‘Far As I Can Walk’ is a contemporary refugee story. The film won top prize at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, 2021.

Srdan Golubovic’s compelling drama ‘Father, Oasis’, again a festival favourite, directed by Ivan Ikic, Hadzi-Aleksandar Djurovic’s ‘Cross in the Desert’ and family drama ‘The Beheading of St John the Baptist’ by Sinisa Cvetic which was in Competition at Moscow International Film Festival this year, all figure in the section.

IFFK is hosted by the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy on behalf of the Department of Cultural Affairs, Government of Kerala. Over the years, the IFFK has become a delight for film buffs who come from far and wide.
