THE GREAT SCHOOL CLASS: Lessons from the Forest

In collaboration with poet Aleksandar Šurbatović and composer Matija Anđelković, I created a 41-minute film that brings to life Lessons from the Forest, a poem and composition originally performed at the 2019 Great School Class manifestation.

Shot in Šumarice Memorial Park, the film honors the victims of the Kragujevac massacre, where 30,000 civilians perished, including 2,264 people executed on October 21, 1941. Blending poetry, music, and imagery, it serves as both a tribute and a reminder of the enduring impact of history, with its length mirroring a school class to symbolize the lives lost.
