Filmography

[edit]

From Eastern Europe and mentored by Tarr, Rozanski's debut film, Papagajka (The Parrot, 2017), was a psychological thriller set in the tumultuous background of Sarajevo.[8] She portrayed in this film how a stranger barges into the protagonist's reclusive world and gradually takes over his life. She absorbs his dreams, until finally she threatens his very existence.[9]

Papagajka had its world premiere at the South by Southwest film festival.[10] Film Threat's reviewer said that it "starts with the mystery of an intriguing and beautiful world but, unfortunately, doesn’t go beyond a surface level exploration of its characters. In doing so, the movie devolves into visual eccentricities that only serve its aesthetic. It is a powerful aesthetic, but without an emotionally resonant narrative core, the film is an aimlessly adrift soulless husk".[11]

Rozanski in 2024 completed her second feature film, El Vaquero, meaning the Cowboy (filmed in Colombia, release date October 12, 2024).[12] El Vaquero is an uplifting drama about self-determination. The storyline relates overcoming several obstacles that threaten the protagonist's newfound desires.[citation needed]

Rozanski has also directed a number of short films, inclding Campers (2011), The Storymaker (2009), and The Whisper Stop (2006).[13]
