Mina Djukic's The Disobedient to be screened at Sundance

Mina Đukić

LOS ANGELES - The Dispobedient, a film by Serbian director and screenwriter Mina Djukic, will be screened at Sundance Film Festival in the US state of Utah, which started on Thursday and will last until January 27.

The film is about two people growing up in Serbia's northern province of Vojvodina and it is the only film from Serbia and the region at this year's festival.

The Disobedient focuses on a drama that promotes courage to wander and explore outside the framework imposed by the society or any other authority. It is a tale of the right to love, freedom, beauty and life, Djukic explained.

Srdjan Golubovic's Circles had its world premiere at last year's festival and won a special award from the jury.

Sundance is the biggest festival of independent film in the US. It was established in 1984 by Hollywood actor and director Robert Redford.

This year's festival will include 187 films, with 67 of them competing in four categories. The winners will be announced on January 26.

Christ - The Alpha and Omega

Christ - The Alpha and Omega

The Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Western America is pleased to announce the publication of an outstanding book by Bishop Athanasius Yevtich, a disciple of the great twentieth-century theologian Archimandrite Justin Popovich. Bishop Athanasius' thought combines adherence to the teachings of the Church Fathers with a vibrant faith and a profound experience of Christ in the Church.

Christ - The Alpha and Omega is the first of a planned collection of works of contemporary Serbian theologians. It is an anthology of Bishop Athanasius' articles which have appeared in Serbian, Greek, French, English and Russian. Focusing on themes central to Christian patristic Triadology, Ecclesiology and Anthropology, the book reveals the ultimate purpose of man and the universe, and speaks of how each of us can realize this purpose within the divine-human community of the Orthodox Church. Bishop Athanasius reminds us that the God-man Jesus Christ is the Beginning and the End of all things, and that we must seek our own end, goal, and fulfillment in Him.
