Quit Staring at My Plate is a dark comedy written and directed by Hana Jušić. The film stars Mia Petričević, Zlatko Burić and Nikša Butijer, with Ankica Jurić Tilić as producer and Jana Plećaš as director of photography. This is production company Kinorama’s third consecutive time to ensure Eurimages funds for its projects. The Danish co-producer is Beofilm. The plot focuses on a family – a community that often works like a small warm bestiary. Still, although the animals give each other closeness, safety and care, in this stuffy lair, precisely because of this unconditional love, they stifle, torture and bite their closest ones. Quit Staring at My Plate in a dark humoured way deals with a family which is like this even more than others.

Train Driver, written and directed by Miloš Radović, is a tragicomic melodrama about a 60-year-old train driver named Ilija, who is about to retire. Statistics says that every train driver, in his professional career, kills between 20 and 30 people. The victims are mostly suicide committers, careless or drunk people. He keeps a notorious record of 28 runs. His 19-year-old adopted son Sima is about to continue the family tradition. Ilija introduces him to the work and the fact that accidents are inevitable. Sima is afraid because he does not want to become a killer. The film stars Lazar Ristovski, Mirjana Joković, Goran Navojec, Jasna Djuričić and Petar Korać. The director of photography is Dušan Joksimović, film producers Lazar and Petar Ristovski, and the Croatian co-producer is Ivan Maloča.
