Great news from Madrid: "We are pleased to inform you that your film Ljudski - Zbogom, won the award for the best film generated by artificial intelligence in the music video category at FICIMAD 2026. Congratulations on this extraordinary achievement!"
The festival took place at the famous Complutense University in Madrid, one of the oldest active university institutions in the world, whose roots date back to 1293.
The official festival catalogue describes the film as follows: "A tense, exciting and powerful story; Rastko Šejić and Žaklina Crnobrnja show how fear gradually disappears, revealing the monster of sexism. Black, white and red images build a restrained but fierce film, in which an epic dimension takes over the story with precise rhythm and striking music."
Official Statement of the Belgrade Music Collective Ljudski about the song "Zbogom":
"The success of student blockades in awakening civic awareness in Serbia is largely the result of women's determination and strength. Female student spokespersons, courageous protesters, student security team members, teachers, actresses, journalists, lawyers, doctors, farmers, mothers, sisters, grandmothers, daughters—women... It seems as if the public has been overwhelmed by a million obvious examples of female heroism and resilience. Sadly, they have also been the primary victims of organized criminal violence against the student protests. These women are the inspiration behind Zbogom. The song and video are about breaking ties—not just with one man, but with an entire system of authoritarian rule that has kept us in a state of political paralysis and moral corruption for over a decade. We hope we have all had enough, that we have reached the point of no return to a society built on violence and oppression."
