Panelists addressed the comprehensive journey of creating a feature film, covering various stages from initial concept development to final exhibition. Participants included director, cinematographer, and editor Aljaž Tepina, alongside directors and producer Luka Jurinčič and Žiga Kukovič. Nikola Feguš from Filmologija and Maja Šest, the artistic and program director of MUVIT/6×60, guided the audience through the complexities of the process.
The discussion provided insights into the entire lifecycle of a film, addressing crucial areas such as idea generation, securing financing, team assembly, principal photography, and the steps required for a project to reach the big screen. A central theme of the panel was the tangible pathway connecting participation within MUVIT to the realization of a full-length feature film. While the structure exists, the panel emphasized that the specific path taken by each director remains unique.
As an example of this trajectory, director Luka Jurinčič detailed the development of his feature film project, Terra Rosa. He shared his experience navigating the application process for the Slovene Film Centre competition, noting that the journey was considerable. The overall consensus from the 12th edition of MUVIT was that while the support system is robust, the creative execution remains highly individualized for every director involved in the film.
