GRAND JURY
TAMARA DRAKULIĆ
Among the spices, Tamara Drakulić currently looks for (many other things, too, but also) her own way to a satisying degree of independence in her expression – for which she tells that it will, or perhaps not, be materialised as a film some time again. She made four full-length films, both fictional and documentary, and in the last two years, the possible next one is being cooked in a kitchen currently called Little Box, along with vegetarian lunches.
MINA PETROVIĆ
Graduated film editor and documentary film director (Victoria, 15; An Apple and Two Cherries). She won the award for the best editing at the Beldocs festival, as well as the “Marko Glušac” award for the best aditor at the Auteur Film Festival in 2020. She collaborated with Atelier Varan documentary film workshop, as a professional editor. Among the films she edited, her favourite is “Rampart” by Marko Grba Singh, premiered at the Locarno Film Festival in 2021, and screened at the Stanford University in October 2022.

JUNIOR JURY
JELENA NOVAKOVIĆ
Born in Novi Sad, in 2000. Studies Digital Arts at the Faculty of Media and Communications in Belgrade.

She maintains her inner balance by playing synth and guitar, and taking some photos when opportunity occurs.
