Ida wins top prize at Slovenian Film Festival

The Slovenian Film Festival awarded Director Ester Ivakič's film 'Ida Who Sang So Badly Even the Dead Rose Up and Joined Her in Song' the top prize, the Vesna for best film, along with three additional awards for acting and technical aspects. The jury highlighted the film's originality, strong performances, and unique blend of realism and surrealism in exploring themes of life, death, and personal growth. Ivakič expressed surprise at the recognition, having questioned the film's coherence during production. Other notable winners included Luka Marčetić's 'Girl in the Night,' which won best screenplay and several Vesnas, and Darko Štante's 'The Lost Son,' which earned the Vesna for best director. Additional acting awards were given to Anuša Kodelja and Gregor Baković, while Siniša Gačić's documentary 'Dance of Life' won the Vesna for best documentary.
