Cannes

LOS ANGELES, Aug 18, (RTRS): The 24th Sarajevo Film Festival has awarded its top prize to Bulgarian director Milko Lazarov's 'Aga'. The Yakut-language movie, which saw its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February, tells the story of a troubled Inuit family.

Grigor Dimitrov began with a victory at the Masters Series in Toronto (Cannes, $ 5.32 million). In the II round, the Bulgarian, who rightly rest on the start of the main circuit, made a 4:6, 6:2, 7:6(5) turn against Fernando Verdasco (ESP). On the stands at the Rogers Center was also his coach Daniel Valverdu, which finally ended the speculation of parting with the Venezuelan specialist.

Turkey's Cannes-winning director Nuri Bilge Ceylan will receive the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo Award at the 24th Sarajevo Film Festival, the organizers of the event have said.

By winning a Lion at the very beginning of the festival, the most rewarded agency in our region, New Moment, continues presenting the region to the world, and placing it on the global map of creativity.

Wary of the limelight but one of the most prodigiously successful directors ever at Cannes, Nuri Bilge Ceylan has emerged as Turkey's top modern filmmaker, with his slow-moving but piercing examinations of his homeland's melancholy soul. 

Film director Lucian Pintilie died on May 16 2018, at the Elias Hospital in the Capital City, the spokesman of this hospital unit, Silvius Negoita, told AGERPRES.
