Imagem de Poster - Mostra de Cinema

(2001)

Artwork by Emir Kusturica

For the first time MOSTRA didn’t have any films screened at the opening night. It had a musical concert with THE NO SMOKING ORCHESTRA, a band conducted by famous filmmaker Emir Kusturica. Kusturica’s spirited mood spread all the way to the poster’s artwork, signed by him, and also in the fun vignette, one of the Festival’s attractions. All this was shown in a retrospective about his work. From this year on, the Jury started giving out two awards: Best Fiction Feature Film, that went to “THE NEW COUNTRY”, by Geir Hansteen Jörgensen and Best Documentary, shared between “SOUL’S WINDOW” by João Jardim and Walter Carvalho and “ONDE A TERRA ACABA” by Sérgio Machado.
