Young Jury

Rok Biček was born in 1985. Class Enemy, his feature debut, won the Fedeora Award at the Venice Critics’ Week (2013) and was finalist of LUX Prize, while the documentary The Family won the Grand Prix at the Locarno Critics’ Week (2017). His work revealed a rare confidence, backed up by a clear esthetic favoring one shot sequences, specific color schemes and dramatic subjects narrated in an almost low-key, off-hand, but always controlled style. He plays with the potential danger lurking in small, everyday details. A gesture, a glance or the wrong word can have the potential to spark a fire.
