Cat's Cry (Serbian: Mačji krik) is a drama film, written and directed by Sanja Živković and premiering in 2024.[1] A coproduction of companies from Serbia, Canada and Croatia, the film stars Jasmin Geljo as Stamen, a man living in a small town in Serbia who must fight for custody of his granddaughter when she is rejected by her mother after being diagnosed with cri du chat syndrome.[2]

The cast also includes Andrijana Đorđević, Sanja Mikitišin, Marija Škaričić, Denis Murić, Sergej Trifunović and Srđan Miletić.[2]

The screenplay was written by influential Serbian filmmaker Goran Paskaljević and collaborator Đorđe Sibinović, with Živković stepping in as director after Paskaljević died before the film entered production.[2] It was shot in fall 2023, in and around the Serbian city of Požarevac.[2]

The film is slated to premiere at the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival.[1]
