Serbia has chosen the film 'Enclave' ('Enklava') by Goran Radanovic to represent the country in the Oscar preselection for best film in a foreign language.
The Balkan country has never gotten the nomination for the Hollywood Academy Award in that category despite the 21 films it has presented to date, Serbia is presented for the Oscar preselection for best foreign language film every year since the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia.
The time he was closest to getting the nomination was in 2008 when Srdan Golubovic's 'The Trap' managed to make the first cut, but finally did not get that first candidacy for Serbia. Let us remember that Yugoslavia has been nominated for the Oscar up to six times, although it never won the statuette.
On this occasion, Serbia will try again with 'Enclave', a film that is endorsed by the Moscow Festival where he won the Audience Award from the official section.
The film tells the story of a child who attends the difficulties for his dying grandfather to receive the last sacraments in charge of an Orthodox priest as the family lived in a small Christian enclave within the Muslim Albanian domination. A portrait of the situation of the Serbian minority in Kosovo years after the conflict.
