Talent Camp Film Screening

Pictures on a window
Director: Ella Knorz / Fiction / German / 6’ / Germany

Whenever we look through the window, we also see the Others. We named them Antonia and Fritz. They could also be called Emma and Maja or Max and Ingeborg. You decide. They have the perfect life. And whenever I see them, I feel this sudden emptiness deep inside – I don’t know what I’m missing. Your name is a secret. Maybe it will always be a secret. But my universe with you, beyond the glasses of this world, is infinite and gentle. Until summer dies…

My family in isolation
Director: Abdulah Hodžić / Documentary / Bosnian, Italian, e / 4’ / Bosnia and Herzegovina

Last year many families were in lockdown, which caused negative effects on human behavior but as well many activities to cope with the situation. I came up with the idea to present how can one family continue to live in harmony. I took a specific family story that can be universally applied which creates a sense of global connection. To present better my ideas I used stop-motion and video effects too.

Graduation film by Mateja Raickovic
Director: Mateja Raickovic / Documentary, Experimental /Montenegrin / 12’ / Montenegro

Causation

A young woman finds herself coming too late to a date. Without any communication or context, she is confronted with presumptions, by both her date and the viewer —but are those presumptions true? «Causation» is a short experimental film telling a story about randomness and the connection between different events and people and their influence over each other.
