The film received standing ovations at the packed Berlinale Palast.
According to a brief survey, both the Berlin and the international
public were impressed by the atypical narration and the subtle
depiction of a society whose civilian values are destroyed by war.
Most respondents maintain the film was selected for the festival's
official competition because of the current issue of war crimes.
"Svjedoci" is based on a Jurica Pavicic book. According to the
distributor, there is great international interest in the film.
