This film is the second feature from the Oscar-nominated director (for his 2003 short film '(A)Torsion'), his first full-length debut movie was 'Love and Other Crimes' (2008).
As per reports, the Karlovy Vary jury thought the 13-year gap between both the films was worth the wait and gave 'As Far As I Can Walk' the top honor, as well as the accompanying €25,000 ($30,000) cash bursary for the 2021 Crystal Globe to Arsenijevic and his producer Strahinja Banovic.
