    LONDON: The Constitution by director Rajko Grlic took an unprecedented three main prizes at the 2017 London Raindance Film Festival, which concluded on 1 October. The film won prizes for best film, best screenplay and best performance.

    The Constitution / Ustav Republike Hrvatske, a coproduction between Croatia, the Czech Republic, Macedonia and the UK, was produced by Interfilm and coproduced by In-Film, Sever&Sever, the Croatian Radio Television HRT and NP7, Revolution Production and Film and Music Entertainment.

    The prizes were the latest in a string of festival successes following the film’s premiere in Montreal in 2016.
