Three girls meet a guy through a social network. And…
“The story of the dangers of meeting strangers on social networks and raising awareness of this issue is intriguing. Exciting structure encourages us to think about this issue. Some of the elements could have been edited better to improve cohesion, but despite that the story has a very important message for the current generation.”

No sé qué me pasa? / What’s wrong with me? / Što ne valja sa mnom?
We felt exhausted and depressed. We didn’t know what was happening to us. But one day something magical happened.
„This ingenious film is based on a stylistic figure of a contrast. In addition to achieving this contrast through acting and use of props, it is enhanced by split-screen shots in which we simultaneously follow two different lifestyles. A wonderful idea excellently realized.“

Susret
In the intimate atmosphere of the school library, a boy starts daydreaming about the girl playing the piano in front of him. The romantic reverie is abruptly interrupted when reality flashes in a completely new and unexpected form. Whether from an individual’s perspective or society’s, this film reflects on the lack of sensitivity, stigmatization, and prejudices regarding interpersonal differences.
“Even without much dialogue, this movie sends a strong message. The authors use colour excellently as a contrast between the scenes of reality and fantasy. Reality only seems dark because we see it from the point of view of the boy – someone who is convinced that there is no future for people with disabilities. Despite all this, the final scenes offer optimism…”
