Female actor 40–55 wanted for lead role in short film “Furešti”

Hello!

It’s time for us students at Stockholm Film School to produce our short film “Furešti”.

We are currently looking for actors for the film’s main roles.

What kind of project is it?

Furešti is a dramatic short film about three Yugoslav refugees who unexpectedly find each other in a foreign country, at the moment they need it most, and slowly begin to rebuild a sense of home together.

The film is quiet, intimate, and actor-driven. It explores grief, memory, motherhood, and what it means to remain connected to your identity in exile.

We are especially interested in actors with a Balkan background or familiarity with Croatian / Serbian / Bosnian language and culture.

About Branka

Branka is a woman carrying unresolved grief and fear for her family. She appears emotionally frozen, but beneath that stillness is enormous pain and depth. This role requires sensitivity, restraint, and strong dramatic presence.
