Скачать или смотреть Posebno makedonsko pleme: Mijaci u 21. veku (a special macedonian tribe, subtitle on english).

Description in Serbian, and then in English:

"Ni Makedonac nije napravio ovakav film o Makedoncima, svaka čast!";
"Objektivan film o mijačkoj kulturi i dijalektu";
"Kakav dokumentarac! A Petko, kakav lik! Ne razgovara sa snajom jer je Bugarka, hahahaha!";
"Veoma dobra reportaža, Kamenko bi bio zadovoljan. Niste im ništa 'stavili u usta', dali ste im prostor, a opet ste i Vi bili na nedvosmislen način tu, pored njih. Vidi se da oni žarko žele da budu to što su, ali da nisu baš sasvim sigurni šta je to u stvari. Otvarate i važna pitanja o slikarstvu, duborezu i nematerijalnom kulturnom nasleđuje, a tu je i pitanje njegove tragične sudbine. Tu su i pitanja kulturnih srodnosti i preplitanja kultura. Ima i pikanterija, poput komičnog pokušaja tumačenja simbola na zastavi. Ima, takođe, i manjih nečistoća na nivou slike, ali je u suštini vizuelno bogat i veoma korektno urađen posao. Hvala vam još jednom. Što bi Kamenko rekao, imaš film.";
"Dobro predstavljene korelacije između prošlosti i budućnosti (na primer scena gde crkvenjak izgovara prezime Frčkovski, označavajući autora ikonostasa koji datira iz vremena pre II sv. rata, a onda Vi samo kamerom prikažete potpis koji se završava na "-vić" (Frčković), bez ikakvog komentara - odlično!) , i između Mijaka - Makedonaca i ostalih nacija koje u 21. veku učestvuju u društveno-političkom životu Makedonije, ne uzimajući ulogu arbitra. Baš ste dobar posao uradili."
"Odlična fotografija, dinamičan film."
Ovo su neki od komentara ljudi koji su film pogledali pre objavljivanja na YT. U filmu se bavim temom redefinisanja kulturnog identiteta u savremenom društveno-političkom kontekstu u kojem etnički identitet Makedonaca trpi zbog unutrašnjih tenzija i spoljašnjih pritisaka. Scene koje sam snimila tokom Galičke svadbe 2024. koristim samo kao ilustraciju težnji Makedonaca da čuvaju i iznova grade svoj identitet na zaista spektakularan način.
Uživajte!

*na 5' 54" se potkrala greška u prevodu sa makedonskog na srpski, pa na engleski, treba da stoji: Inače, isti narod, 99% je za to da budemo sa Srbima.


"Not even a Macedonian made a film like this about Macedonians, congratulations!";
"What a documentary! And Petko, what a character! He doesn't talk to his daughter-in-law because she's Bulgarian, hahahaha!";
"Very good reportage, Kamenko would be pleased. You didn't 'put anything in their mouths', you gave them space, and yet you were there in an unequivocal way, by their side. You can see that they ardently want to be what they are, but that they are not quite sure what that actually is. You also open up important questions about painting, woodcarving and intangible cultural heritage, and there is also the question of its tragic fate. There are also questions of cultural affinities and the intertwining of cultures. There are some quirks, like a comical attempt to interpret the symbols on the flag. There are also some minor imperfections on the image level, but it's basically a very well done job. Thank you again. What would Kamenko say, you have a movie.";
"Well-presented correlations between the past and the future (for example, the scene where the churchman pronounces the Macedonian surname Frčkovski, indicating the author of the iconostasis dating from the time before World War II, and then you just use the camera to show the signature ending in "-vić" (Serbian, Frčković), without any comment - excellent!), and between Mijak - Macedonians and other nations that participate in the socio-political life of Macedonia in the 21st century, without taking the role of an arbiter. You did a really good job."
"Great photography, dynamic film."
These are some of the comments from people who watched the movie before it was released on YT. In the film, I deal with the topic of redefinition of cultural identity in the contemporary socio-political context in which the ethnic identity of Macedonians suffers due to internal tensions and external pressures. I use the scenes I recorded during the Galician wedding in 2024 only as an illustration of the aspirations of Macedonians to preserve and rebuild their identity in a truly spectacular way.
Enjoy!

*at 5' 54" there was an error in the translation from Macedonian to Serbian, then to English, it should say: Otherwise, the same people, 99% are in favor of being with the Serbs.
