The Girl Who Wasn't Afraid of Bears

Inspired by a Balkan folktale, the film follows a young girl who disguises herself as a man and ventures into a magical world, where she tests her courage and identity.

The film was directed by Lea Vučko and is based on a comic by Dora Benčevič and Izar Lunaček — a story that originally existed as oral tradition, told by storyteller Špela Frlic. Music for the western-inspired film was composed by Schatz! & Magnifico, the visual design was created by Dora Benčevič, and the suspenseful editing was done by Miha Šubic.
