Christopher Vourlias Ukrainian documentary “Dad’s Lullaby” and Romania’s “Between Revolutions” won the Docu Talent Awards, chosen from a field of nine documentary features from Central and Eastern Europe, at the Sarajevo Film Festival on Monday.The Docu Talent Award for the most promising project went to “Dad’s Lullaby” (pictured, above), directed and produced by Lesia Diak.

It tells the story of a Ukrainian veteran who returns home burnt out and traumatized from war but hoping to find peace for himself and his family.

The jury described it as “a heartfelt depiction of a life under impossible circumstances,” adding: “Such a personal story is a valuable way to understand the scars of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.” The DAFilms.com Distribution Award, which covers international VOD release for two years on DAFilms.com, went to “Between Revolutions” (pictured, below), which is directed by Vlad Petri and produced by Monica Lăzurean-Gorgan.

The archive-constructed film tells the story of two women from Romania and Iran who become friends during their medical studies in Bucharest, and whose friendships endure during the tumultuous period of their countries’ respective revolutions.Describing it as “a true international co-production [that] uses a unique method of letter-reading to express a friendship that survives revolutions, regimes and time itself,” the jury said the film “has relevance to a world that needs female solidarity as much as ever today.”Projects from Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine made it to the final selection of Docu Talents from the East, which spotlights films of outstanding artistic merit that are slated for a theatrical release in the next 12.
