‘Watching movies at MIFF has been a holy winter ritual since I was literally a child,’ says Goran director Stolevski. ‘It’s what kept me going, in fact, for two decades, through many tricky periods as a writer-director.’
‘To have my film premiere – on Opening Night, no less – is the thrill of a lifetime.’
The best part of it was the connections I made. I met a lot of my current friends at Accelerator, and it’s been great seeing people in this career progress significantly alongside one another. It’s an amazing support system. I also met the programmers for Sundance as part of the Accelerator. In terms of my career, a lot of it stems either directly or indirectly from Accelerator.
