Into the Wild mentée Tamara Denić, who had to flee to Germany as a small child from the war in the former Yugoslavia, is an up-and-coming director whose work transcends national borders. With her film ISTINA, which won a Student Oscar in 2023, she brings individual stories with a universal character to the screen. The film, partly shot in Belgrade, tells the moving story of a photojournalist who has to flee from right-wing violence.
Tamara's conviction that feminism continues to be of great importance and must be intersectional is reflected not only in her view of the film industry, but also in her films. These deal sensitively with the female experience of danger and threat.
