It is not every day that a journalist, blogger or film critic really takes the time to properly get to know you, see you and celebrate your depth with thoroughness and understanding. But luckily for me, this is one of these precious days. I am happy to share with you this wonderful interview written by Joe Montague for Riveting Riffs Magazine, in which I discuss my personal journey, my movies “Falcong” and “Lost in the City”, my core values and my creative process in detail.

​Some people question the role of storytellers – and their marketability – in the difficult times we’re currently facing, but I don’t. One thing humanity has always been a sucker for is a good story well told. It was already so in our distant past, when the whole tribe would gather around the fire to listen to the legends of our ancestors and the forces that created the universe, and it will always be this way. So it might just be the perfect time for you to enroll on that creative writing course you’ve been wanting to try for so long!

​What is my greatest achievement in work?

I came from nothing and I built everything from scratch. Very few people in the film industry can relate. Privilege is a powerful factor and I had to go all my life without it. I know what it’s like to have a real job and I can truly understand what most people are facing and feeling. As a filmmaker, this gives me a unique perspective. Maybe it’s a different kind of privilege?

“Lost in the City je u suštini studija karaktera. Prije nekog vremena, Alex van Ric (glavni glumac) prišao mi je s nekim bilješkama koje je napisao. Radilo se o čovjeku koji je izgubio sve što mu je bilo drago, provodio je vrijeme sam, buntovan, pijući i razmišljajući o smislu svog postojanja. Zaintrigirala me ideja i znala sam da Alex ima ludi talent i duh da ga gurne u ekstremne dubine – tamne koliko je potrebno- pa sam razvila njegovu početnu skicu u cjeloviti scenarij o beskućniku koji luta ulicama Berlina, pokušavajući preživjeti i vratiti svoj identitet”- ispričala je Lara Celenza.
