Mikser Festival 2025 – "The Energy of Freedom"
Hemofarm Foundation is a proud partner of Mikser Festival, one of the most prominent regional events promoting innovative, sustainable, and socially engaged ideas. In times of crisis, it is often believed that art and creativity must step aside in the face of serious political and social upheavals. But new generations prove the opposite – that creativity and culture are not only essential anchors in challenging times, but also powerful catalysts for social change. The 2025 edition of the festival, held under the slogan The Energy of Freedom, was inspired by the change we are living through – immediate, raw, and heartfelt.

Play "The Spanish Madwoman"
An original project by Marija Bergam, based on the play The Spanish Cardinal by Henri de Montherlant. The Spanish Madwoman explores topics of mental health, with a focus on schizophrenia, stigmatization, and the female position in a patriarchal society. By examining the boundaries between reality and virtuality, the project encourages understanding, empathy, and opens space for public dialogue on mental disorders in women. Hemofarm Foundation supported the realization of this play as part of its long-term commitment to improving mental health through art and culture.

GUARDIANS OF THE FORMULA
We have supported Dragana Bjelogrlić’s film “Guardians of the Formula” because it is about a medical breakthrough, the first bone marrow replacement intervention on irradiated patients, but it is also a story about humanity and empathy, necessary for building a better society. The true story, based on the bestseller by Goran Milašinović, reveals the details of the accident in Vinča in 1958, when a group of scientists, working on a secret project, were exposed to a lethal dose of radiation. At the height of the cold-war crisis, the secret police took them to the Curie Clinic in Paris, where a team of French doctors suggested a risky surgery. Is it an experiment on living people, or does Professor Georges Mate really want to help them? The film had its world premiere at the Locarno festival, where it won two awards: Variety, for the best film in the Piazza Grande selection, and the Green Leopard award, for the most impressive message.
