"We are sure that the messages we convey through our work will reach on time and in the right place because we responsibly and with dignity responded to the challenges by participating in world festivals for a documentary where the competition is big, with one goal - to show the world how much we love Macedonia." - Sime Mladenovski
Mtimeline- What are your plans for this year Mr. Mladenovski?
SM - This year we will perform at three world documentary film festivals, in Brazil, Sao Paulo at Festagent, in Peru, Argentina, and we also plan to participate in the Moscow Documentary Film Festival. The team who works on the documentaries is the same: Bube - director, Sime - director and executive producer, Zoki - camera, Dejan - light, Zorana - scenography, Filip - camera, Cele - camera and Bube and Joco - editing. This team has already been proven as a winner, receiving that many awards is enough evidence for that and we hope that it will continue to do so in the future. I would not reveal much about the documentaries, but I can say that they are already in the final phase, we replaced our holiday time with work and enthusiasm and that certainly brought a good result for which we expect these projects to be noticed and awarded. The only thing I would reveal and what is especially emphasized in our work is that the documentaries are dedicated to our homeland Macedonia, the tradition, folklore, but also to what everyday life is more and more filled with - poverty. In fact, with our projects we appeal to everyone for the importance, uniqueness and greatness of life, but also of our unique homeland.
SM - Working on a documentary is not at all simple, given that there are many aspects associated with which and through them we want to achieve our goal and that is why the team worked around the clock, tirelessly, in various weather and field conditions, wanting to present to the world the truth about Macedonia and the Macedonians, that the only the sun is older than Macedonia, and the world knows that well. Each of our documentaries carries its own message, but what connects them all in a beautiful and colorful mosaic is our message of unity and love, to resist the vanity that divides and to resists on all those supporters and implementers of Caesar – “divide and rule” from where they get the greatest strength to hold the world hostage and in a state of weakness and powerlessness. Our only victory is in love of our closest, love of self, the values which vanity, envy and jealousy cannot be measured with. For us, the feeling of belonging to this beautiful piece of land is important and for us Macedonians, wherever we are, there is nothing more precious than what we have always had and will have forever. If I say - we hope, it would be ungrateful and insignificant, but I say - we are sure that the messages we convey through our work will reach on time and in the right place because we responsibly and with dignity responded to the challenges by participating in world festivals for a documentary where the competition is big, with one goal - to show the world how much we love Macedonia.
Mtimeline - Remarks on the 10-th jubilee of the popular show
Faces and Deeds?
SM - It is nice to point out that this year in May we marked
the tenth anniversary of the existence of "Faces and Deeds" on TV
Sonce and completed a cycle that will be remembered after the guest appearances
of many of our important names from various fields - prof. Dr. Ludmil Spasov,
Elena Jovanova Grujovska - Director of IMJ "Krste Misirkov" - Skopje,
prof. Dr. Goce Cvetanovski, Garo Tavitjan, Guru Hare, Trifun Kostovski, Stojna Kostovska,
ministers, mayors, professors, pop artists, poets and writers, young
enthusiasts and new hopes in many areas of culture and art. It is a great joy
that I feel looking back over time as "Faces and Deeds" from the
pilot edition has grown into a significant television brand with interesting
form and content, and for which, as I have already pointed out, the numerous
names that have paraded and found their space in " Faces and deeds ",
our collaborators and supporters who followed us through the years and the entire
team of TV Sonce, without which this success would not be complete. This TV
project certainly continues, and we stand behind the quality and current
content.
SM - Yes, the International Poetry Manifestation "Unite Macedonia”, is a proof that the love towards our country has no borders. I am part of this manifestation and this year is the second time we are organizing it, despite of difficult conditions with pandemic. So, this year again we received a great number of poetic works from our poets in Macedonia and the Diaspora by emails. The competition started on July 5 and ended on 2 of August. The jury is already reviewing the poetic works that I can say are very good and will make it hard for us to decide on prizes. Diplomas and awards will be presented on August 28, also online, and this year this event will be rounded off with a Book consisting all poems received and because of the conditions, the book will be sent to all participants electronically. We can still expect the situation with the virus to be over as soon as possible and all these activities that I have pointed out to be realized in normal conditions and in a proper way.
Mtimeline: What can I say, you work so passionately and you have such a wonderful messages you want to share to the world. most importantly, big love for your country Macedonia. I wish you and your team
great success with your documentaries and the latest, second in a row, Poetry
Manifestation- Unite Macedonia.
