We are proud to present an exclusive interview with Filip Filković- Philatz, a well-known Zagreb-born director and visual artist whose work transforms memory, emotion, and fleeting moments into powerful cinematic experiences. Best known for his award-winning film The Last Well, Filković explores the delicate space between human nostalgia and cutting-edge digital technology, creating stories that prove authenticity and vision matter more than budget or trends.
In this inspiring conversation for "Erasmus+" students, "European Solidarity Corps" volunteers and young creatives, Filković reflects on his journey from a curious child wandering the streets of Zagreb with a camera to becoming a “digital alchemist” of contemporary cinema. He shares insights on creativity without compromise, the power of the DIY approach, the influence of ‘80s and ‘90s subcultures, and why curiosity remains the most important tool an artist can carry.
A must-read for anyone who believes that cool ideas, integrity, and emotion can truly transcend generations.
