Open Cage



Siniša Galić : 2015
Otvoreni kavez

Anna, a young photojournalist from Berlin travels to Serbia for a photo documentary about refugees. Arriving in Belgrade, Anna finds out that she can't realise her task the way she intended. Through the cabdriver Džeki she encounters the withdrawn but nevertheless interesting young woman Maja who works at the nearby fast-food restaurant. Miserable with her living circumstances, Maja is dreaming of a new beginning somewhere abroad. In an attempt to successfully finish her project, Anna starts to photograph Maja, secretly making a documentary about her. Driven by the wish to change her life, Maja doesn't realise Anna's true intentions. Focusing on the two women, from Germany and Serbia, facing their personal and social conflicts, a story about European societies that, besides their frequently exposed differences, have a great number of similarities. Siniša Galić's feature debut premiered at Küstendorf International Film and Music Festival 2015, and screened in competition at Cinema City International Film Festival 2015.
