Liberation of Skopje reveals the soul and suffering of ordinary Macedonians trying to survive the devastating fallout of war with dignity." Its Silvija Stojanovska was chosen as Best Actress. Our judges said Balkan Roots "is a "wonderfully produced - well paced documentary, alive with fabulous music and musicians who show love for their chosen field." About the Best Short Film, the judges said, "Fighting for Death mixes comedy and old-country reality in a unique and entertaining way in dealing with a subject most of us shy away from."

Due to greater demand, Liberation of Skopje will be shown twice on Saturday, October 28 at 3:30pm and 7:30pm.
