Quotes
Goran Radovanović
Serbian director and acclaimed filmmaker
“Rather than pursuing grand themes and big budget films, make small films based on local stories and issues from your own region. That is where the future lies. Create films on subjects that you truly care about and that give you creative satisfaction. Do not run after awards. Instead of focusing only on major film festivals, take your films to smaller artistic festivals and digital platforms. Present your work in smaller countries and create your own platforms.”
