A month after the call for proposals for participants of the workshop / first session of the platform for the development of hybrid AV creativity REFINERI, evaluation jury has declined on eight projects / authors who will inspire from 23rd to 27th April in Rijeka.
It will be projects of four citizens of Rijeka – Kristina Barišić, Marta Ožanić, Sandra Polić Živković and Zoran Krema – then the project of Irena Čurik from Zagreb, and three projects of foreign authors, Dženan Medanović (BiH), Ina Ferlan (Slovenia) and Tatyana Sobol (Russia).
These projects are invited to the workshop among more than 30 submitted. For the organizers of the platform – the Association UKUS – it meant a satisfaction with the positive response but also put them on the sweet torment of selection.
“Project applications were colorful: from pure fiction form, through conceptual pieces and sci – fi visions to the vast transmedia opus. Selected projects are wide-ranging, as was the intention. Selection includes already renowned filmmakers, but also less experienced creative artists .”, evaluation jury led by Željka Suková and Aleš Suk said.
