T his year’s jubilee 15 th edi- tion of the Beldocs In- ternational Documen- tary Film Festival, to be held from 11th to 18th May, will screen over 100 of the best contemporary documentaries in 12 categories (www.beldocs.rs). Along- side numerous platforms, the festi- val utilises its Prime Time category to bring us the enticing stories of re- nowned directors, with famous ce- lebrities as the main protagonists… The Rossellinis Roberto Rosellini was a film- making genius, and his romances filled the front pages of newspapers the world over, representing scan- dals for the rigid moral standards of the 1950s. Those romances result- ed in the creation of a large, broad, proudly multiethnic family. His eld- est grandson, Alessandro, had a tur- bulent career in photography and spent a long period as a drug addict. As the descendant of a genius, he didn’t feel as though he’d lived up to his famous surname. At the age of 55, he decided to make his first film and compel his relatives to en- gage in impossible family therapy in front of the camera. Dreaming Walls New York’s legendary Chel- sea Hotel was something of an icon of the 1960s counterculture and served as a haven for artists for over a century. It has spent the past eight years under renovation and is set to reopen as a luxury ho- tel soon. However, this edifice is still home to 51 elderly people. Stuck in a rut and scared, some of these res- idents are preparing for what’s in- evitably to come, while others pro- test against the hotel administration and keep themselves locked away in their rooms. This film explores the utopian roots that underpin the mythical stature of the Chelsea Ho- tel and re-examines the challenging future it faces.

Nick Cave: This Much I Know to Be True Filmed on location in London and Brighton during the spring of 2021, Andrew Dominic’s new doc- umentary reveals the exceptional creative relationship between Nick Cave and Warren Ellis as they cre- ate songs for their last two studio albums: Ghosteen (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) and Carnage (Nick Cave & Warren Ellis). This documenta - ry shows the two musicians, ac- companied by vocalists and a string quartet, as they carefully shape and birth each song. The film also fea - tures a special guest in the form of Marianne Faithfull, Cave’s longtime friend and collaborator. See You Friday, Robinson This work chronicles a proba - bly impossible film world encoun - ter between Ebrahim Golestan and Jean-Luc Godard, two great artists

who (at least in the West) haven’t achieved the same level of fame. Much time has passed since the 1960s, and the Iranian New Wave has remained largely unknown and stuck in the shadows of its Europe - an counterpart’s glory. Is it too late to connect these two leading artists and their contrasting experiences? Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time This feature-length documen - tary, the first of its kind about Von - negut, takes a deep dive into the author’s life and work, but also his 25-year friendship with the direc- tor who set out to document his life. It deals with his childhood in Indianapolis, his experience as a World War II POW, his marriage and family, his period working as a car salesman and the years he spent struggling to establish his writing career, which would eventually re- sult in superstardom following the 1969 publishing of his anti-war nov - el Slaughterhouse-Five.
