in 16. International documentary film festival „ZagrebDox“ by Igor Angjelkov

After last year’s debut in September as a member of the FIPRESCI jury at the Drama International Short Film Festival, Greece, the second selection soon arrived, this time at the prestigious ZagrebDox International Documentary Film Festival, scheduled for March 15-22. However, we know what happened in the middle of that month, which at this moment seems so far away from us. The diligent organizers wisely awaited the fall and moved the so-called “special edition” of the festival from October 4 to 11. To the email, whether I remain a member of the jury or not, I certainly answered affirmatively, although the desire to explore Zagreb during the seven days of the festival, apart from watching good movies, will remain for the future.

in 25th Short Film Festival in Drama by Igor Angjelkov

As a long-standing fan and admirer of short films, I was very pleased to take part in the film festival in Drama. This beautiful small city in the eastern part of Greece, where you can feel and smell the sea salt in the air and in which the freshwater springs in the center give the city its tranquil and fresh atmosphere, was once again the host of the 25th edition of the renowned short film festival, which was full of film magic. The excellent organization did not leave room for any improvisation, the events were arranged impeccably, and the most fascinating thing was the energy of the attendants who had an opportunity to exchange their experiences, which might lead to future film project collaborations. The importance of this festival as part of the festival map in Greece was evidenced by the attendance of the new Minister of Culture, who, as any politician would, promised to establish a film university in Drama, alongside the restoration of the old tobacco factory into a modern cinema.
