I Act, I Am

Film screening and meeting with the film artists

Filmostovje d.o.o.

The film I Act, I Am is dedicated to the acting profession and the border between an actor and the character he interprets; a border that can become indeterminable for the actor. The film is also the story about those closest to the actor, about the circumstances in which he lives and their influence on his creativity. The situations, shot in the observational-documentarist style emphasise the social character of three regions – the stories take place in Sarajevo, Ljubljana and Zagreb.

Director Miroslav Mandić, born in Sarajevo and living in Ljubljana, says about his film: "I’ve been fascinated by acting for years – on the one hand, the immense effort that goes into creating a role, the identification which at times influences an actor’s attitude to his personal environment; on the other hand, I ask myself how such a transformation is even possible, this ‘jumping’ from the role to life and back."

After the screening, there will be a discussion with the director and other creators.

In the principal roles Luna Zimić Mijović, Gregor Zorc, Goran Bogdan, Lana Barić, Mojca Funkl and Amar Čustović.
