Closing Film: GOD EXISTS, HER NAME IS PETRUNYA (MK/BE/SI/HR/FR 2019)
28.03.2019
CROSSING EUROPE has been connected to the Macedonian director Teona Strugar Mitevska since the very beginning. At the very first edition of the festival in 2004, her feature film debut KAKO UBIV SVETEC / HOW I KILLED A SAINT (MZ/SI/FR 2004) was awarded the CROSSING EUROPE Award – Competition fiction. Ever since then, all her films have been presented in Linz as Austrian premiers. For this reason, we are very happy to announce that her new feature film, which had its world premiere at the Berlinale and was awarded with two awards (Prize of the Ecumenical Jury and the Gilde film prize) will be this year’s closing film.
