👥 Audience Award: World Cinema Dramatic &
World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Creative Vision ✨

Sundance Film Festival’s Short Film Program alum Georgi M. Unkovski (Sticker, 2020) makes his delightful feature film debut with this inspiring tribute to the unifying power of music at any age, as well as the unexpected freedoms it can provide. Undeterred by his shepherding responsibilities, Ahmet enlists the help of his brother Naim to channel his musical ambitions and dazzle Aya, whose dance troupe is preparing to take the village festival by storm.

Unkovski looks to a charming young cast and sumptuous, dreamlike cinematography to capture the clash of modernity and tradition with fresh eyes, revealing a rural landscape transformed by the beat and bursting with color and movement.

Uplifted by warm humor, lovable characters, and an unsurprisingly catchy soundtrack, DJ Ahmet casts a welcome spell that reverberates long after the last joyous note —Ana Souza

Saying 'Action!' is a very important task.
To be honest, studying directing is a full time job 🎬

Established in 2008, Directing Cinema and Digital Media is a three-year follow-up Master's program for graduate students who already received a BA degree in Cinema or another field. The students are selected for the program based on the evaluation of their talents and necessary skills level. The intentionally low number of students guarantees a personalized approach to every single student.

Tuition includes at least one short film production in every semester (year one and two) and final film (year three), using both digital (HDV, HDSLR and other) and analog (16 and 35 mm) technology, on location and in the school‘s own studio.

Alongside that, students receive a number of compulsory and elective courses providing them with the necessary theoretical and practical tools associated with the work of the professional filmmaker.

The program is complemented with additional elective courses, workshops and modules – short intensive courses taught by professional guest artists, theorists, and visiting professors.
