Film Critics – Miro Frakic, Lilla Puskas, Andra Petrescu
This year, as part of the Talents Sarajevo programme, FRED’s Matt Micucci mentored the film critics in the “art” of interviewing, reporting and reviewing for the radio, and how such practices compare with the construction of written criticism and film journalism. Miro Frak (Croatia), Andra Petrescu (Romania) and Lilla Puskas (Hungary) were part of the group that focused on interviewing.
For this interview, Miro takes over as host, and interviews his fellow critics Andra and Lilla on their experience at Talents Sarajevo, what they did, what they learnt and their impression of the Sarajevo Film Festival in general. The three then also give their insightful opinions on the state of film journalism and the cinematic culture in their respective countries, as well as the ways in which they think that cinema is promoted (or not promoted) in them.
