Students
Time never comes back
Directors – Nikolaos Galanis, Students of 2nd Primary school in Skala Lakonias
(Greece)
Duration – 1′
Often recklessness such as attention to mobile phone, non-observance of safety rules such as belt, helmet and speed limits as well as inexperienced drinking lead to fatal car accidents. Accidents that can either make you a handicapped person can or cost you your own life or your beloved persons’ life. Time does not turn backwards and that’s what we must all think well before we get the handlebar in our hands. In this student film, the main character, Erianna, is one of the lucky ones and time comes back. In real life though… Time never comes back.
The Bird
Director – Simon Jegorovic
(Serbia)
Duration – 8′
The film “Bird” is an inspirational journey through growing up, memories and feelings, dreams and life.
“The Bird” begins as a fantasy, but ends as a tried-and-tested artistic procedure of psychically mixing reality. The production and aesthetic quality is high, the use of drones brought a high artistic and perceptive result, and this is a film that shows that even children’s creativity in the golden technological age of film can handle not only professional technology, but also use it sovereignly. In the first 100 years of Serbian cinematography, such quality shots from a bird’s eye view were simply unimaginable.
