STIJOVIĆ: FFHN-MFF STUDENT SELECTION AS A MIRROR OF COURAGE AND AUTHENTICITY OF YOUNG AUTHORS
Student films exude uniqueness, courage and youthful energy, and the selection for the 38th Film Festival Herceg Novi - Montenegro Film Festival (FFHN-MFF) showed the diversity and originality of authors from the film academies of the Balkans, with a particularly notable presence of talented young authors, pointed out the selector of the student selection, director Sara Stijović.
The competition selection of student films this year will be held at a new location - in the Old Town, on Mića Pavlović Square, in front of the Church of St. Jerome and the building of the Music School, from August 24 to 28, every evening starting at 9 p.m.
The selection includes 23 short feature films and documentaries by students from academies across the region - from Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, North Macedonia and Montenegro.
"The basic criteria, bearing in mind that it was a student selection, were focused on the works created during basic or master studies at the art and film academies of the Balkans. The most important were the originality, the value of the script, the directing process, the establishment of style, as well as the overall courage of the young authors to implement a topic or idea that interested them at a given moment, in a certain phase of life and education," explained Stijović.
She emphasized that student films often exude a special energy.
"What is always particularly beautiful about student films is their youth, courage, and the fact that technical mistakes are forgiven because it is a learning process. These were the basic values that were followed during the selection," said Stijović.
When asked which stylistic tendencies dominate among student works this year, Stijović said that it is difficult to determine one or two stylistic tendencies because each academy has its own method of education, values within the film field, as well as a specific style and mentality.
"It is one of the greatest values of the student selection, how different the films of students from Slovenia, Cetinje, Belgrade, Zagreb, Skopje... Each school nurtures its own foundation and style, which is clearly felt in the works," said Stijović.
She assessed that student selection within the FFHN-MFF is extremely important because it is focused on specific schools and countries in the Balkans.
"After more than four decades of existence, it has become a kind of cradle for authors who are just starting out or who are happy to return to it. It is wonderful when I meet people who were once part of the same student selection with me at festivals all over Europe and the world - that is the greatest beauty of this process," said Stijović.…
