- TV & Film
In this episode I sit down with the remarkable Vera Mijojlić, the visionary founder behind the Southeast European Film Festival in Los Angeles. Together, we paint a vivid picture of a region's heart and soul, captured through the lens of its filmmakers. It's a conversation that transcends the expected narratives of conflict, inviting you to discover a world where the drama of real life inspires profound storytelling. My own memories of SEEfest, from teaching to adjudicating, serve as a testament to the festival's power in nurturing emerging talents and celebrating our shared human experiences.
This week's talk also shines a spotlight on the unsung heroes of cultural events: the sponsors and volunteers. Their dedication is the lifeblood that allows the festival to flourish, supporting a stage where new voices can be heard and appreciated. As we prepare for the upcoming edition in Los Angeles, my heart is full of gratitude for the community that comes together in this celebration of cinema. From the anticipation of witnessing a premiere talent to the joy of connecting with you through our shared passion for storytelling, this episode is an invitation to join us in an ongoing dialogue that revels in the diversity and richness of Southeast European narratives.
