Director Biography

Katyayan Shivpuri

Katyayan shivpuri is a writer and director working out of Mumbai, India. He started by learning the craft on the sets of Bollywood films and branded televi-sion commercials. Telling stories with raw human emotions is what excites him.

Ironic situations, characters with flaws and finding a silver lining in tragedy are some of the things he likes to incorporate in his storytelling. He hopes his stories evoke bittersweet emotions in the audience, perhaps even leaving a lasting emotional impact.His first short film won the National Film development corporation of India (NFDC SBFF) film festival. He just completed his next short film.Director StatementHunger is a universal feeling. Hunger is felt by the poor and hunger is also felt by the rich. This is my interpretation of a true story that happened on the streets of Mumbai.The emotion of longing for something, craving it, desiring it but not being able to fulfil it is so real. It is felt by everybody.I decided to minimise the dialogues spoken to let the emotions and expressions speak out aloud!This film talks about life and its desire, its raw emotions and its ironies. The homeless man can see food all around him-from the restaurant, its marketing banners, the street stalls-but he doesn't have the money to eat.And what if someday he gets a chance to fulfil his hunger, his desire? When does hunger get fulfilled and greed take over?The film is a tribute to life and its unfulfilled desires.

Director Biography

Stefan Djordjevic

Stefan Djordjevic was born in Bor, a small industrial town in Eastern Serbia in 1987. Af-ter moving to Belgrade for studying, his main interest switched from making skate videos to film and photography. His amateur film "Crap" was the inspiration for the film "Tilva Ros" by Nikola Lezaic, in which Stefan plays one of the two main roles. The film won Heart of Sarajevo award for the best film in 2010., and it was nominated for the European Discovery Award by the European Film Academy. He graduated both BA and MA studies at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, Camera department. His graduation film was a short fiction film "A handful of stones", which was screened on many international film festivals and had international premiere at the ACID programme of Cannes Film Festival. During studies he directed and shot a couple of short films , which some of them are:

"Journey" (short documentary), "Juvenile" (short documentary), directed by Jovan Todorovic and "Wings and Things" (short fiction), which he co-directed with Jelena Gavrilovic. He participated in Sarajevo Talents 2018. His latest short film is “The last image of father”, which he wrote and directed, had World premiere at Locarno Film Festival and won Young Jury award for best international short film. Regional premiere was at Sarajevo Film Festival and the film won Heart of Sarajevo award for the best international short film.For the last seven years of his life my father was living and working abroad, until one day he suddenly passed away. During those seven years, I had seen him only once. All my memories of him are from the period when I was thirteen years old, while we were still living together. The one feeling I associate most strongly with our relationship is the feeling of care. His care for me, and from one point in time, my care for him. Some of the images were memories, while other were fantasies of what our relationship could have been. The screenplay for “The Last Image of Father” came out of my need to articulate all those images through a story, and to, above all, express just how much I miss my dad. I feel the biggest challenge for me was telling the story from the father’s point of view. It came out of desire to put myself in his position, because I think that now, as an adult myself, I can understand him better.
