Talents Sarajevo

#makehistory

Razgovarali smo s troje mladih glumaca iz regije koji su prošle godine bili dio programa Talents Sarajevo u sklopu kojeg je održana i radionica magazina Story o odnosu s medijima. Otkrili su nam kako je napredovala njihova karijera u proteklih godinu dana, što su naučili na radionici te zašto svojim kolegama preporučuju sudjelovanje u programu Talents Sarajevo

We talked to three young actors from this region, who participated in the last year's Talents Sarajevo program, and also the media workshop organized by Story magazine. They told us how their careers progressed since last year, what they have learned during the Story magazine workshop and why they recommend participating in the Talents Sarajevo program to their colleagues

MILENA BOŽIĆ

PROFESIONALNO SAZRIJEVANJE

“Program Talents Sarajevo preporučila bih ponajprije zbog unapređenja tehnike rada u polju umjetnosti, mogućnosti suradnje i širenja mreže kontakata, kako u regiji tako i na europskom tržištu. Velik je privilegij povezati se i razmijeniti iskustva s kolegama, upoznati neke od najvećih profesionalaca u filmskoj industriji. Rado bih istaknula i posebnu posvećenost našeg mentora, glumca iz BiH Ermina Brava. Na SFF-u sam upoznala mnogo mladih kolega koji će mi, vjerujem, ostati prijatelji do kraja života, što je na kraju i najljepši dio ovog iskustva”, kaže nam srpska glumica Milena Božić, zvijezda serije ‘Klan’. Uskoro je čeka snimanje treće sezone te uspješnice, ali i premijera kratkometražnog filma Nikole Polića te još jedan velik i zanimljiv projekt čije detalje trenutačno ne može otkriti. Rado se prisjeća prošlogodišnje Storyjeve radionice u sklopu programa Talents Sarajevo na kojoj je, kako kaže, mnogo naučila. “Naučila sam najviše koliko je važan privilegij koji imamo kao glumci, a to je da se naš glas čuje. Da su upravo mediji ti koji prenose važne poruke javnosti i zbog toga su iznimno važni. Otvorenost, profesionalizam, poštovanje kolega koji rade u odnosu s medijima kao dio kulture javnog obraćanja, a posebno je važno bilo skretanje pozornosti na etičnost i uzajamnu suradnju koja je uvijek u sinergiji”, priznala nam je Milena te dodala da je u proteklih godinu dana definitivno sazrela i naučila pažljivo birati projekte vodeći se idejom o konstantnom napretku. “I would definitely recommend the Talents Sarajevo program because it helps you improve your working techniques, find new opportunities for collaborations, and make new contacts - both in our region, and also Europe. It is a great privilege to connect with your colleagues and to meet some of the most important and influential people in the film industry today. Especially, I'd like to point out the exceptional dedication of our last year's mentor, bosnian actor Ermin Bravo. In Sarajevo I met so many of my young colleagues who will remain my friends for the rest of our lives, and I believe that this is the greatest part of this whole experience”, says Serbian actor Milena Božić, the star of a TV series ‘Clan’. She is soon starting to shoot the short film by Nikola Polić and also is looking forward to another wonderful project in the future. Milena gladly remembers the last year's workshop by Story magazine - she says that she has learnes a lot there. “I learned that it is a big and important privilege for us as actors that our voices can be heared. The media are the ones who can spread important messages to the public and that's why they are so important. Openness, professionalism, respect for the people who work in the media, all that is part of the culture of public appearance. It's also very important to always stay within the ethical norms and constantly having in mind the collaboration with them”, Milena said. She added that she definitely became more mature professionaly during the last year, and that she learned to pick her projects very carefully, following the idea of a constant progress.

“Na Storyjevoj radionici naučila sam mnogo o nastupanju u medijima te kako u javnosti zadržati profesionalan stav. Sada imam više samopouzdanja kad trebam govoriti u javnosti”, rekla je makedonska glumica Sabina Memishi koja je u proteklih godinu dana, otkako je sudjelovala u programu Talents Sarajevo, osvojila dvije nagrade – za najbolju mladu glumicu i za najbolju glumicu na dva najbolja festivala u Makedoniji, odigrala je pet glavnih uloga u Makedonskom narodnom kazalištu, a trenutačno priprema još jednu veliku premijeru – Čehovljeve ‘Tri sestre’. Snimila je i jedan kratki te jedan dugometražni film, a u najavi ima još zanimljivih projekata. “Za mene je sudjelovanje u programu Talents Sarajevo bilo prvi put da je neki festival koji ima velik utjecaj u filmskoj industriji priznao rad lokalne glumice. Bila mi je to izvrsna prilika da upoznam svoje kolege. Iskustva koja sam prikupila u Sarajevu nezamjenjiva su i svakoj bih mladoj osobi koja radi u filmskoj industriji preporučila da sudjeluje u njihovim radionicama i masterclassovima, da učine sve što je u njihovoj moći kako bi dobili pozivnicu za program Talents Sarajevo”, rekla je Sabina. “During the Story magazine workshop I've particularly learned lessons in behavior while collaborating with media, and how to upkeep the utmost professionalism when it comes to the public eye. I am now more confident when it comes to speech in public”, says Sabina Memishi from North Macedonia. Since participating in the Sarajevo Talents program she has won two important awards for her work in theatre, and she is now preparing for the big premiere of the drama' Three Sisters' by Chekhov. She also was in one short film and has many interesting projects in the future. “It is the first time for me that my work as a local actress is recognized by a festival with such great influence in the film industry. It was an incredible opportunity and experience for me to get to know the people of my trade. The experiences and lessons that I gathered from my time in Sarajevo were irreplacable. The people I have met, and the connections I have made will transcend this festival, and will stay with me forever. I highly recommend the Sarajevo Talents programe to anyone who has the chance to participate”, Sabina told us. STRANICA

KORAK NAPRIJED U KARIJERI

“U programu Talents Sarajevo sudjelovao sam odmah nakon povratka sa studija u Londonu te pamtim da sam tada bio u strahu jesam li odlukom da odem u inozemstvo izgubio priliku biti vidljiv ovdje, kod kuće. Poslovne prilike kojima sam u međuvremenu bio blagoslovljen otklonile su taj strah. Sarajevo ‘da’ zato što je izvrsna prilika za susret s kolegama iz istog ili sličnog područja u profesiji i za upoznavanje, a otamo ćete otići obogaćeni. Zateklo me gostoprimstvo koje uživaju sudionici Talentsa jer je velikodušnije od bilo kojih mogućih očekivanja. Sudjelovanje u ovom programu ujedno je i prilika za zbližavanje sa SFF-om, prilika da ga se prigrli kao kvalitetnu infrastrukturu koja stoji na raspolaganju i tu je za nas i ubuduće”, rekao nam je o sudjelovanju u programu Talents Sarajevo hrvatski glumac Rok Juričić. I, evo, godinu dana poslije ima se čime pohvaliti. “Želim se dalje razvijati kao glumac na području šire regije. Nedavno mi je potvrđena prva glavna muška uloga u dugometražnom filmu, a snimanje je planirano za jesen 2023. godine”, pohvalio se Rok koji uz glumačku ima i zapaženu glazbenu karijeru. “I came back from London, where I studied acting, just before participating in the Talents Sarajevo program. I remember that I was afraid if I made the right decision to improve my acting skills abroad, because maybe that made me less visible here. But the business opportunities that I got in the meantime made that fear go away. Say YES to Sarajevo because it's the great opportunity to meet the colleagues from the same profession, and go home enriched. The particinapts of the Talents Sarajevo program are more than welcome during the festival and it was much beyond my expectations. Participating in this program is an opportunity to get closer to the people who are behind SFF for possible collaborations in the future”, said Croatian actor Rok Juričić. One year after hits participation in the Talents Sarajevo program, he has some things concerning his career to brag about. “I want to pursue my acting career in the area of our region, not only Croatia. Recently, I got my first main role in a film. The shooting begins in te autumn of 2023.”, says Rok who is also a perspective musician, not only an actor.
