Mentor of the youth jury

Marija Čutura graduated at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad in class of Branko Pleša.

“My love for acting developed in my early childhood thanks to my father who is also in love with this calling. After a few years of acting in theatre I went abroad. When I returned to Serbia, to my hometown Bačka Palanka to be precise, I opened the drama studio “Proscenijum” for children and adults. Besides acting, I have always had the desire to impart my knowledge to younger generations. To answer the question on why I love acting, I would like to quote the great Oscar Wilde: “I love acting. It is so much more real than life.”.” ”
