Regional premiere of the film THE EDITORIAL OFFICE
The Competition Programme - Feature Film of the 30th Sarajevo Film Festival continued with the regional premiere of the film THE EDITORIAL OFFICE by Roman Bondarchuk at the National Theater Sarajevo. The film had its world premiere at this year's 74th Berlinale.
In the wild steppes of southern Ukraine, a young nature researcher named Yura is looking for an endangered species of groundhog. Instead, he witnesses a crime. Eager to expose the truth, Yura takes his photo evidence to the editorial office of the local newspaper. He soon realises, however, that nobody there cares about the pursuit of justice. While a major war looms on the horizon, Yura's naive worldview splinters in a storm of fake news, rigged political elections, and mysterious cult rituals. On his quest, this hero will find out who he really is—that endangered species of the good man, or merely a loser?
