Biography
Director Tamara Denić was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, fled to Germany in 1993 and grew up in Bavaria. In 2016, Tamara completed her Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and Multimedia with a minor in Media Informatics at the LMU in Munich with an interactive, experimental short film. In 2016 she moved to Berlin and worked as a dubbing recording supervisor, film production and editorial assistant and video editor, among other things. Along the way, Tamara played in independent theater groups and experimented with video performances and vjing. However, she soon focused on narrative short film projects. In 2022, she completed her master’s degree in film directing at the Hamburg Media School on a scholarship from the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. Her short film GET HOME SAFE (13 min.) has already been shown at over fifty festivals worldwide and received numerous awards, including the Engelke Short Film Award at the 32nd International Film Festival Emden-Norderney. Her graduation film ISTINA (29 min.) was a BAFTA finalist in 2023 and has received 27 awards worldwide so far, among them the Audience Award Medium Length Film at the 44th Max Ophüls Film Festival, and won a Student Oscar at the 50th Student Academy Awards.
Tamara Denić is currently developing her debut feature film “Anela & Silan” together with the production company Weydemann Bros. The film has already received script funding from the MOIN Film Fund Hamburg Schleswig- Holstein and FFA German Federal Film Board.
