Synopsis
On the outskirts of Belgrade one of the biggest unsanitary landfills in Europe spreads across the remains of the ancient Vinča civilization - a former archaeological site of the European Neolithic. Plastic bottle collectors aka ‘bottlemen’ make a hard living from this toxic landscape; but now their vibrant community is facing a new and bigger threat.

Director's statement
Bottlemen is a homage to a vibrant, essential and yet largely invisible community, as well as an eco-western and a stark contemplation of where our society is headed.

Serbian: Snimajući “Flašaroše” tokom nekoliko godina i u različitim godišnjim dobima, snimatelj Igor Marović, znanjem i veštinom, uspeo je očuvati ujednačenu i vizuelno iznimno atraktivnu fotografiju. Odličnim kadriranjem i promišljenim korišćenjem dubinske oštrine, snimatelj je uspeo preneti autentičnost prizora, istovremeno ističući dramatične elemente priče. Njihovom izvanrednom dinamikom unutar kadra stvara dojam životnosti koja doprinosi kvalitetu filma
Best Film on occupational health and safety issues. Prize of €1,000.
With the following motivation: the film recounts one of the jobs of the ‘last’, where living conditions and safety are dramatic. They are ‘last’ in the chain of the world's production and consumption chains. The bottlemen close the circle of a dystopian version of the economy we like to call ‘circular’, where waste becomes the only source of survival. They are ‘last’ because that unhealthy and dangerous work is also about to disappear. The film, through an often-silent camera, knows how to give us back the dignity of these “last ones”
The monetary prize in the amount of €4,000 is sponsored by the Government of Switzerland.
