Production highlights
Iridium's highest-profile feature film project to date is Muškarci ne plaču (Men Don't Cry, 2017), a Bosnian film that examines the psychological aftermath of the Yugoslav wars of the early 1990s. It was selected as the Bosnian entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2018 Oscars and won the Special Jury Prize at the 2017 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Iridium also picked up a Vesna Award for Best Minority Co-Production at the Festival of Slovenian Film (FSF) in the same year.
Other major projects include the feature films Žaba (The Frog, 2017, Bosnia-Slovenia) and Komedija solz (A Comedy of Tears, 2016, Slovenia-Italy), and the Cairo-set, Lebanese-made documentary Al Gami'ya (2018). Iridium's predecessor, RestArt, also received a Special Mention from the Los Angeles Film Review for its VFX work on Odmevi časa (Echoes of Time, 2013, Slovenia), Ema Kugler's multi-award-winning experimental film, and a Vesna for Best Minority Co-Production at FSF for the Serbian feature film Varvari (Barbarians, 2014).
In 2019 Iridium received Slovenian Film Centre funding to co-produce Homo (Only Human, 2020) by North Macedonian director Igor Ivanov. It also received its first Creative Europe development funding for FC Svoboda (FC Freedom), a feature film to be directed by Boris Petkovič.
