SHOW ME A PLACE: Short Docs

OUR LADY’S PEACE tells the story of a quincentenary shrine on the lonely rocky islet - an unexpected hero. Nowadays, this once revered place of peace is facing a strange, multifaceted antagonist: the speed, tumult, superficiality, and vanity of the modern era’s life. This conflict brings a number of warring dichotomies to a head: the heavenly versus the mundane, that which is temporary versus that which is eternal, what is material versus spiritual. Can a shrine and its devotees find their place in our tumultuous and vain modern era?

Vladimir Perović (1955, Cetinje, Montenegro) graduated in Film & TV Directing from the Faculty of Drama Arts, Belgrade, Serbia. His creative documentaries, screened at the festivals worldwide, have won 103 awards to date. He has worked for several producers in Serbia and Montenegro. Selector for: Documentary part of Montenegro Film Festival, Herceg Novi, Montenegro; FESTEF, Kučevo, Serbia; Festival of Ethnological Films, Belgrade.
