Again and again<\/strong><\/font> (2:36)<\/font><\/center><\/p>\n

Poem: Again and again <\/strong> by Igor Andreevski<\/font><\/p>\n

Synopsis<\/strong> – The concept of protest as a social tool for change has died. The new times have incorporated protest as a tool of governance, not change. Solidarity in this individualistic world has lost its meaning. As the widely accepted philosophy of Ayn Rand says, only the individual with its selfish drive is a viable option for change. Groups of people are becoming weapons for the resourceful individual, or other entities. We are all like children in love with ourselves. Sitting like junkies with our mirrors adoring and overanalyzing our lives. But this time no-one will die for our sins…<\/font><\/p>\n

Director: Igor Andreevski<\/strong> (Netherlands\/Macedonia\/Croatia)<\/font><\/p>\n

Igor Andreevski was born in Skopje, Macedonia where he finished his formal education and began his career. He has edited several feature films and numerous shorts. His work and life took him to Holland where he concentrated on directing and producing his own films. In the last couple of years he directed four short films that were presented in several international film festivals. His short feature All my love<\/em> won the Viewer’s Award in the Green Shorts Film Festival.<\/font>
