BELGRADE - "Rabbitland", a short animated movie by Ana Nedeljkovic and Nikola Majdak junior, was awarded a Diploma of Merit at 44th Tampere Film Festival in Finland which was held from March 5 to 9.

The movie depicts one day in the life of Brainless Rabbits that live in the neighborhood that resembles a war zone and favela.

The film was done in co-production of Bas Celik and Arhitel, and backed by the Film Center of Serbia and the Belgrade City Secretariat for Culture.
