“Over and above our surprise at pinning responsibility of this kind on a cultural programmer, and not on those theoretically responsible for the content in question (the director and the producers, if anyone at all), we wish to recall, in addition to our support of Angel Sala, that the film has been screened over the last 12 months in festivals in Brussels, Montreal, London, Oporto, Austin, San Francisco, Toronto, Sofia, Hamburg, Helsinki, Puchon, Ravenna and Stockholm, among others. “We wish to state our surprise at the legal action taken against Angel Sala, director of the Stiges International Film Festival of Catalonia, for having included in the 2010 programme of the said event, at sessions for adults only, A Serbian Film, which it is claimed contains violent, pornographic scenes conflicting with the rights of the child. This action taken by the Barcelona Prosecutors has sparked an immediate response from other Spanish festival heads, including those at San Sebastian, Valladolid, Gijon and Malaga, who have issued a joint statement in support of Angel Sala.

These charges follow a complaint made by Spain’s Catholic Confederation of Family and Student Parents (Concapa) to Barcelona’s Public Prosecutors for minors about the film after its screening at the festival, which prompted a San Sebastian judge to ban the film from being shown at the San Sebastian Fantasy and Horror film week in early November. The film was screened three times in late night, adult only slots at Sitges in October 2010, sparking mixed reactions from critics and stirring interesting debate over the film’s controversial content.Īccording to local reports, the charges brought forward by the office of the prosecutor relate to two rape scenes in the film, one involving a newborn baby (which was done using a doll) and the other involving a young boy.
