    I have been invited as a guest to BOSIFEST and selected with our film HEARTBEAT. I only have words of praise for Darko Ivic the festival's director and the BOSIFEST organisation: Warm welcome, great organisation, great selection of films at the Yugoslav Cinematheque. I have to underline the effort and the importance of that festival, that has been lasting for 13 years, regarding the understanding and the expression of people living with disabilities. Long live BOSIFEST!
