Ida Who Sang So Badly Even the Dead Rose Up and Joined Her in Song is an original, extraordinarily compelling, and unpredictable debut feature that explores life and death, growing up and coming of age, while interweaving the real and the magical. The film astounds with superb acting, a harmonic interplay of sound and image, and a story featuring bold narrative twists. At the same time, it creates a wholly original atmosphere that shifts between real and surreal spaces, demanding the viewer’s full attention right to the end.

Sponsored by German post-production studio D-Facto Motion, the D-Facto Motion WIP Award of €35,000 in-kind services plus up to €5,000 for additional expenses went to the work in progress GIRL IN THE NIGHT by director Luka Marcetic and producers Andra Jeric and Jerca Jeric (Temporama, Slovenia).
