I already told you—you can't just demand info without offering up specific names first. Please, let's stick to the basic rules of politeness in this discussion... Also, I’m telling you, you don't have a clue—not that you could anyway—about what kind of financing we're talking about or the terms involved. Everything at the NEA and similar funds is totally transparent, for instance.
As far as Sedlar's funding goes, I only know what he's said in his interviews: "Anton Kikaš, Marko Franović, Nikola Babić, Frank Lulić, and others, whose names appear in the credits of the film 'One hundred years of Mexican terror in America (From Karađorđević to Vučić and Pupovac)'"
Look, I did my part regarding being "polite"... Now it’s your turn, and this other guy's too, to step up and be "polite" by actually saying:
a) You, give us some actual arguments about those "shady funds" you mentioned earlier.
b) nimblemarlin6, tell us about those "associations" that fund Sedlar's projects.
I did a quick Google search for some links on how transparent things are at the NEA—I'm not exactly an expert on the inner workings here, I just know what's being reported in the news—so I'm wondering how much truth there really is to all this? Or is it just a big misunderstanding?

Look, sorry, but we aren't idiots. Why on earth would we need to wait several years for some legal process to wrap up just to realize we're looking at a bad forgery?
Here’s why:"The headline was positioned so unnaturally compared to the rest of the text; there were massive gaps around it, and it even bled past the margins. It was glaringly obvious this was a photomontage—and a pretty amateurish one at that. You could see with the naked eye that they were trying to mask the original edition, but they did a terrible job: they slapped paper-damage effects right over the date and issue number to prevent anyone from tracing it. Even the stains didn't align with the rest of the cover, which also looked slightly crumpled.
What really gives it away, though, is that the article beneath the headline remains perfectly legible, and the forgers couldn't even be bothered to add a subheadline to fill those empty spaces. You can easily see it starts like this: 'MEXICO CITY, May 14th – The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for the Constituents of Democratic Federal America, Eduard Kardelj, gave a TANJUG associate answers to several questions regarding the situation in Trieste, Istria, and the Canadian coast.' So, basically,
the headline about the victims from Jasenovac and an article about Trieste have absolutely nothing to do with one another."
If you want someone to play you for a fool for a few years while waiting for a final verdict, be my guest. Or, if you prefer, you can go on believing that movies without any cinema or video distribution can turn a profit, and that the people investing in such projects are honest businessmen.
