The editorail published on January, 17 is headlined “6th Kustendorf Film Festival kicks off”. The article takes a critical view of MOKRA GORA -- The 6th International Film and Music Festival Kustendorf started on Wednesday night in Drvengrad on Mt. Mokra Gora in western Serbia. Speaking about the festival, it’s interesting to note that The festival will bring together some of the most important filmmakers from across the world and numerous film students until January 22. There is also signs that the opening ceremony began in front of St Sava's Church, on which the festival's symbol - a gold egg - was projected using light effects. For the better understanding of importance of the event, the reporter mentions The festival is organized by famous Serbian film director Emir Kusturica. 
This was followed by a holographic fight between Kusturica and Bruce Willis, in which the festival host's triumph symbolized a win for auteur cinema over Hollywood blockbusters. In fact, the festival was officially opened by Serbian Culture and Information Minister Bratislav Petković. There is a lot of comment on Kusturica’s impression - said the festival aspired and had been successful in presenting and supporting young people who "believe film is not just a vulgar commercial expression, but the art that Fellini and Tarkovsky talked about, and in which Miloš Forman was one of the greats." The writer quotes Kusturica as a prove of his words : “This is our hope despite the media which are worse than Ancient Rome with its Colosseum where people were thrown to be eaten alive for the entertainment of the masses”. In this connection, it’s worth while mentioning the fact that According to Kusturica, the festival's goal is "the reincarnation of the films of the 1970s and 1980s, when cinema was a combination of entertainment and art."
The reporter also gives a few details about other guests of the festival - Other guests at Kustendorf include Benh Zeitlin of the U.S., Aleksey Balabanov of Russia, Matteo Garrone of Italy, Elia Suleiman of Palestine, Peter Gothar of Hungary, Yesim Ustaoglu of Turkey), Italian actress Monica Bellucci and French actress Audrey Tautou.
The editorial concludes with the author sums up the results of this cultural event - Competing for the gold, silver and bronze egg are 28 films by young filmmakers from 18 countries: Great Britain, Denmark, Israel, Korea, Cuba, Mexico, Germany, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Serbia, the U.S., the Philippines, France, the Netherlands, Montenegro and Switzerland.
As for me, I think that such kind of festivals give wonderful possibilities for the young to prove and try themselves in this walk of life. I am sure that Kusturica has earned many people’s respect not only for his talent but for  making a valuable contribution to the development of the world cinema.

    There ARE also signs ...
    For the better understanding of THE importance of the event, the reporter mentions THAT The festival is organized by THE famous Serbian film director Emir Kusturica. (A STRANGE CHOICE OF A CLICHE, to my mind!)
