She grew up watching film classics with her family on Sundays thus developing her film tastes. Films awaken her curiosity and inspiration and she enjoys analysing and discussing them. She also plays the guitar. She loves music and always pays attention to the relationship between events in the film and the music in the background.

In her 16 years, she has made numerous films, which have screened at various film revues and festivals, such as the Croatian Children’s Film Festival, Dubrovnik FF, PSSST! Silent FF and Four River FF. Being on this jury will give her a chance to discuss and analyse films and she is looking forward to hearing the other members’ impressions.

She applied to be on this jury because of her interest in arts, and since film is a synthesis of all the arts, it is her favourite medium. She is curious about how artists get their ideas and how they transform them into films and also wants to hone her film evaluation skills.

For her, life without film is like a guitar without strings. She is learning to play the guitar, music is a great passion for her, and she appreciates a good soundtrack. Her favourite genres are musicals and music films, but she enjoys watching films of all kinds. Films soothe and calm her and are a form of therapy for her.

Believes that film is a hugely potent art form, capable of changing our worldview, affecting everybody differently. By participating in the jury, she wants to contribute to the choice of films that young people will see. She was particularly motivated because the chosen films come from different countries, allowing us to learn about different cultures and ways of life.
