On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature Tyana Rendič:

“In my filmmaking, I prioritize honesty and authenticity above all else. I believe in capturing the essence of human experiences and emotions, presenting them in a raw and unfiltered manner. By exploring both the known and unknown aspects of life, I aim to challenge conventional narratives and push boundaries, inviting audiences to question their perceptions and delve deeper into the complexities of the human condition.While creating my films, I always embrace my personal thinking and perspective, even if it means diverging from commonly held beliefs or societal norms. I also tend to use the perspectives with which I no longer agree. I treat my thoughts as a filmmaking material, with which I do not neceserally agree or disagree. I believe that genuine creativity and artistic expression should be rooted in individuality and the courage to challenge established ideas. By incorporating my own unique voice, I strive to bring a fresh and thought-provoking perspective to my work, sparking meaningful conversations and inviting viewers to reflect on their own beliefs and perspectives.Ultimately, my filmmaking is a reflection of my commitment to artistic integrity and the power of storytelling. By embracing honesty, exploring the known and unknown, and maintaining my personal thinking, I aim to create films that resonate deeply with audiences, leaving a lasting impact and igniting conversations that extend far beyond the screen.”

On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature Ksenija Scepanovic:

“What mostly inspires me is everyday life. Because it’s never simple, or easy. No matter if it’s a good day or a bad day. I am mostly influenced by European Cinema from the previous century. The one thing I want to achieve with my work/films/creations is to transfer the feeling, state of mind. And I truly believe that the film itself is an intimate moment between an individual and the screen. And that being said, I always try to create a space for that.”
