Stefan Djordjevic’s Debut ‘Wind, Talk to Me’ Sweeps Top Honors at Adriatic Film & TV Awards

Serbian filmmaker Stefan Djordjevic’s debut feature “Wind, Talk to Me” earned a triple win at the Adriatic Film & TV Awards in Porto Montenegro, Tivat, Montenegro, taking best film, best director, and best debut. The documentary-drama, which premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, blends fact, fiction, and memory in a deeply personal tribute to Djordjevic’s late mother. Variety’s review praised the film as “a heart-bursting tribute” for its emotional resonance and inventive storytelling. The awards, held Saturday evening, celebrate the best in film and television from the Adriatic region, and Djordjevic’s sweep positions him as a major new voice in Balkan cinema. The recognition also highlights the growing international profile of Montenegrin-hosted events and the strength of regional filmmaking. With this triple win, “Wind, Talk to Me” is likely to gain further festival and distribution attention, marking a promising start for Djordjevic’s career.
