Famous and legendary Serbian director Emir Kusturica was a guest of FebioFest 2017, where he showed his film On milky way. It was for the first time in 40 years when he did so.

Matthew Modine (1959) hails from a big family and has six siblings. His father used to run drive- in theaters and they lived in Utah for several years. When the land beneath drive –in theaters exceeded value of the theaters, they were torn down and family moved to California. Matthew graduated at Mar Vista High School and then moved to New York City, to pursue his interest in artistic life. He often played young American soldiers fighting in Vietnam, not only in Robert Altman´s film Streamers, for which he and his mate shared the accolade on Venezia Film Festival or Alan Parker´s Birdy where he excelled with young Nicolas Cage. He refused to star in Top Gun, which brought fame to Tom Cruise but his moment came when playing Private Joker in famous Stanley Kubrick movie Full Metal Jacket.Then he depicted airman in Memphis Belle and to avoid labelling he often changed film genres and also played in theatre. He is intrepid ecological activist and he does care what happens around him. He must be a fine and nice man since we sent him questions for interview and he duly returned them month later.
