Meet the 28th FSF Portorož juries

Two official festival juries decide the Vesna awards for the films in the Official Competition. The jury consisting of film critic Andrej Gustinčič, Croatian film director and screenwriter Juraj Lerotić, and film scholar Natalija Majsova will award prizes for feature films. Meanwhile, the awards for short fiction, documentary, experimental, animated, and student films will be presented by a jury comprising intermedia artist Sara Bezovšek, film director and screenwriter Slavko Hren, and Serbian cinematographer, animator, and film director Nikola Majdak. The Audience Award is decided directly by viewers casting their votes.

In addition to the two official festival juries, films of the 28th FSF Portorož will be judged and awarded by two independent juries. The FIPRESCI Association of Slovenian Film Critics, represented by Tina Bernik, Vanja Gajić, and Darko Štrajn, will select their favourite among the feature films in the Official Competition. A prize for best feature will also be presented by the Slovenian Art Cinema Association: on its behalf, Blaž Cotman (Mestni kino Domžale), Armand Meterc (Javni zavod KRC Hrastnik), and Erik Toth (Art kino Odeon Izola) will give out the award that supports the screening and promotion of the award-winning feature film in 28 cinemas across Slovenia.
