Once again this year, the best titles from the official selection will be decided by three three-member juries: for the best feature and short film, for the best documentary and for the best Checkers programme film.

The winner of the Golden Pram for best feature and short film is to be decided by Markus Schleinzer, the director of ZFF’s last year’s winner Michael and also casting manager on Michael Haneke’s films; Jovan Marjanoviæ, producer and manager of Sarajevo Film Festival Industry Department; and Maurizio Braucci, writer of the successful Gomorrah and Reality from this year’s The Great Five.

Zagreb Film Festival is proud to have the famous documentarian Michael Glawogger as a documentary jury member this year. The audience can get more acquainted with his work through a retrospective in the side programme. He is a travelling filmmaker. Not only does he literally travel the world for his film, but he also travels through forms and genres, through filming and writing, through gentler and rougher tones. His latest works range from the adaptation of the literary work Kill Daddy Good Night (2009) and peculiar comedies Slugs (2004) and Contact High (2009), to essayist documentaries Whores’ Glory (2011) , Megacities (2009) and Workingman’s Death (2004).

In addition to him, the jury also includes the Croatian director Miroslav Sikavica, whose film Cloud about Luka Ritz premiered at last year’s ZFF, and Hana Kulhánková, the director of Prague’s international documentary film festival One World, dedicated to human rights.

The best short film from the Checkers programme will be decided by the jury consisting of: Christian Denier, director and programmer of Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival; writer and director Danilo Šerbedžija; and actress Hristina Popoviæ.
