Critics jury of FIPRESCI Serbia at the second International Film and Media Festival Cinema City in Novi Sad, in the assembly: Sandra Perovic (Radio Television Serbia RTS), chairwoman, Vladimir Crnjanski (daily newspapers DNEVNIK) and Staša Jamušakov ( Radio Television Vojvodina RTV)presents:
Award FIPRESCI SERBIA JURY OF CRITICS in the selection National Class to the film Wait For Me and I Will Not Come by screenwriter and director Miroslav Momcilovic, who with all the attributes needed for a wholesome and quality work, represents the model how a new reanimated Serbian film should be made. With the sincere and straightforward film expression, and a colourful behavioural spectrum of the gallery of characters, brilliantly portrayed by the acting ensemble, it is not hard to recognise how Momcilovic skilfully treats the topic of love, the topic about which we thought everything has already been said.
