SKENA UP is an International Students Film and Theatre Festival founded by a group of students and young artists in October 2003. SKENA UP Festival is unique, not only in Kosova but also in the wider Balkan region, by being one of the few ‘in competition’ festivals dedicated to film and theatre students.
The Festival has two key missions that both aim to overcome the weak institutional support offered to film and theatre students across the Balkans. First, it provides a suitable forum for students to present their work to the public, thereby building a crucial link in the chain of artistic creation: interaction with and feedback from the audience. Second, by bringing together peers from all over the world and introducing students to internationally renowned directors, producers, writers and actors, it facilitates their access to an artistic network invaluable for their future careers.
The programme of SKENA UP Festival includes a variety of student work in film and theater. By bringing together young artists from all the various countries of the Balkans, SKENA UP makes a modest, but valuable, contribution towards promoting inter-ethnic understanding and reconciliation in the region.
