Working on my book (CH/GR, 2022, 1min)
When people ask me how it was to create my book: Intense time while diving into my old diaries that I wrote from 1999 - 2016, old stories, thoughts, habits, mistakes, hopes, fears and all those things that make us unique, problematic and beautiful. Even though I was on my own I was accompanied by my old & new self. Sharing that video of the process feels more intimate than the book itself. I feel really happy when I can read out parts of it so I hope you can make it to one of the shows 2022 / 23 ! For tour dates click here.
Filmed in Zurich & Athens.

Wordless thought (CH, 2021, 2min)
In the beginning of 2020 we practised something that would be quite useful in the upcoming months. Entering «skyspace» created by American artist James Turrell made silence the prevailing sound. This generated a meditative atmosphere where we found common ground to start playing around with our voices and our hands.

SARMA AND SKYPE (UK, 2017, 6min)
This film is about roots, culture, language, periods, bad moods, but mostly: STRONG WOMEN. My mum comes to London. I show her the city, she shows me how to cook Sarma, a traditional dish from the Balkans. Coming from Yugoslavia, she worked more than half of her life in Switzerland, where my siblings and I were born. I want to film her, instead she brings her own camera. This short film shows how our experience of that visit emerge through images and sound. It also shows that I love my mum.

A TRANSLATOR WITH A CAMERA
(UK/BiH/CH, 2018, 40min)
I join a research trip about the active youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a translator. My friend Kim and me are traveling to Zenica, Srebrenica and Sarajevo. What does it mean to be an activist and what does success mean in that context? The film tells about our trip in three parts: Youth, Time and Realism, each connected to the places visited. As I took along my camera I was able to capture young engaged people as well as a researcher in the quest of positive examples and possible change.
