Tamara Kotevska
Sound accompaniment: music playing in background, a blender turning on downstairs, a cellphone rings, someone else talks on a phone, bluejays calling outside
Drinks: coffee in a tin mug
Together with Ljubomir Stefanov she made Honeyland
Some things that joined us in the conversation: Neon, MoMA, film she made with Ljubomir before Honeyland, Nadia Hallgren, Dust, Faculty of Dramatic Arts, Best Balkan Film Award at the Tirana International Documentary Film Festival, For Sama, Exit Through The Gift Shop, Michael Moore, Werner Herzog, Wim Wenders’ Pina, The Cave of Forgotten Dreams, Midnight Family, Advocate
*In our conversation, when Tamara mentioned being part of the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, I misunderstood and thought she meant faculty as in “teacher,” not faculty as in “department of.” To explain my mistake & confusion.
