On the red carpet of the 76th Venice International Film Festival one can find Kusturica alongside Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt, Catherine Deneuve, Pedro Almodovar, Johnny Depp, etc. Competition for the best debut film traditionally causes major interest among filmmakers.

The same prestigious award but in the main competition program Kusturica won in 1998, for the movie „Black Cat, White Cat“.
