In “Spaces #3”, 7 internationally acclaimed directors shot, after commissioning by the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, a short film at home, making their own timely comment on the new reality that we live in. The project is inspired by the book “Species of Spaces” by the French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist, Georges Perec and the days of quarantine. The idea is to create a film at home, using the environment, the people or the animals in that space. The only outdoor areas that may be used are outdoor living spaces, such as the terrace, the garden, the balcony and the stairwell. “Family” is Teona Strugar Mitevska’s submission.

Told in a very abstract and poetic way, this love story – set in very unusual circumstances – is inspired by the refugee crisis, in which Macedonia played the unfortunate role of a transit country.

В маленьком городе в Македонии каждый год в январе молодые мужчины ныряют за святым крестом, который священник бросает в ледяную реку. Поймавшему обещают благополучие и удачу. На этот раз быстрее всех оказывается Петруния, которая и добывает трофей. Соперники возмущены: как смеет женщина участвовать в ритуале? Разражается невиданный скандал, но Петруния стоит на своём. Крест она выиграла и отдавать не намерена.

Burdened by memories of their late father, three sisters struggle to escape the suffocating environment of the dying town of Veles. A contemporary story of urban decay, „Jas sum od Titov Veles“ employs a stark realism to depict the vivid landscape of post-Communist Macedonia.
