If something can’t be spoken of, then it must be shown. But what if it can’t even be shown? The puzzles posed by the film's title, as well as the film itself, are effortlessly engrossing and enjoyable but as such, although intoxicating, the film at times feels like it got too high on its own supply. Have You Seen This Woman (2022) is a directorial feature debut by Dusan Zorić & Matija Gluščević, that had its premiere last summer during the Critics’ week at the Venice film festival, from where it walked away with a special “artists under forty” prize for the film’s editor, Olga Kosarić. After having its run at Cottbus and Bilbao, the film had its national premiere at the 28th Belgrade Auteur Film Festival, where it won the “Aleksandar Saša Petrović” Grand Prix Award.

The World Film Festival of Bangkok wrapped up its comeback 15th edition on Sunday with an efficient prize ceremony and double-bill screenings of Belgian film “Close” and local title “Arnold Is a Model Student.”
The festival ran Dec. 2-11, 2022, after a five-year hiatus, seemingly caused by a lack of funding and political will, and the death this year of its dynamic founder Kriengsak ‘Victor’ Silakong. Artistic directing duties were taken over by local producer and film critic Donsaron ‘Don’ Kovitvanitcha.
In what it said was a unanimous decision, the jury gave its top prize to “Klondike,” Mayna Er Gorbach’s anti-war drama from Ukraine.
The best director prize, worth THB100,000 was awarded to Serbia’s Dusan Zoric and Matija Gluscevic co-directors of “Have You Seen This Woman?”.
A grand jury prize was awarded to Ananta Thitanat, whose documentary “Scala” charted the demise of Bangkok’s last stand-alone art cinema, caused...
