UKRATKO SE PREDSTAVI, RECI NAM NEŠTO O SEBI.
Bok, ja sam Dora Šustić, scenaristica iz Rijeke. Završila sam dramaturgiju u Pragu i prije nekoliko mjeseci, od rujna živim u Zagrebu. Radim na filmskim i TV projektima kao dramaturginja, prevoditeljica i scenaristica te sam režirala nekolicinu kratkih filmova.
ŠTO TE NADAHNJUJE, OTKUDA VUČEŠ NADAHNUĆE ZA SVOJE RADOVE?
Nadahnjuju me priče iz obitelji, djetinjstva, sjećanja oca i majke te aktualne obiteljske teme. Također me nadahnjuje prijateljstvo, odnosi između prijatelja i prijateljica. Dugo sam imala fazu ženskih likova i temama koje se bave ženskom seksualnošću i odrastanjem. U zadnje vrijeme primjećujem kako mi se mijenja fokus i kako se više usmjeravam prema obiteljskoj tematici, pogotovo djetinjstvu.
KAO ČLANICA DISFF-OVOG ŽIRIJA, SMATRAŠ LI DA ĆEŠ BITI STROGA I POŠTENA ILI KAKO OCJENJUJETE SEBE KAO ČLANICU ŽIRIJA?
Stroga i pravedna (smijeh).
KOJIM KRITERIJIMA ĆEŠ SE VODITI PRILIKOM OCJENJIVANJA, ŠTO JE, PO TEBI, BITNIJE KOD FILMOVA?
