Duck, a biographical film about the famous black athlete Jesse Owens, will be released next year, when it will also be 80 years since the Summer Olympics in Berlin (1936). These were the last Olympic Games before the lull in the war and the games marked by this famous American athlete who competed in the sprint and long jump. With his performances, he disproved the theory of the superiority of the Aryan race, which had been bubbling under the cover of Nazi Germany for several years at that time. The film was also supported by his family and the Jesse Owens Foundation, which helps young athletes and is run by his three daughters.

The Serbian film Pored mene (Srednješolci) critically examines today's youth, while at the same time looking for a way to a bright future for a generation that was born with smartphones. Swimming against the current is the young high school teacher Olja, who already has the upper hand of her students, who spend more time on their phones. A recording of her fight breaks the bottom of the barrel, so the history teacher takes extreme measures. He collects everyone's electronic toys, locks them in the school and leaves with an ultimatum. Yes, this is what survival in the "wilderness" looks like in the 21st century. No smartphone, no internet. Trapped with people.

Spotlight is a poignant drama that focuses on a team of investigative reporters from The Boston Globe who set out to uncover a scandal in the Roman Catholic Church. The contribution brought the journalists the Pulitzer Prize in 2003, and even earlier it forced the resignation of Bernard Law, the cardinal of the Boston archdiocese in which mass abuse of children took place. It is Michael Keaton's first film role after the movie Birdman or the unexpected quality of ignorance, where he is accompanied by Mark Ruffalo and Rachel McAdams, among others.

Welcome to the Balkans. A Perfect Day is a film about a group of humanitarian workers who try to find some humor in the tragedy called the war in Bosnia in 1995. The film, signed by Fernando León de Aranoa, stars Benicio Del Toro and Tim Robbins. The duo is part of a team trying to bring a ray of hope to people who have been robbed of everything by the war in the Balkans. Still, they are not welcomed with open arms, and just finding a rope to lift a body from a well that threatens to contaminate the only source of drinking water is near mission impossible.
