CGiii Comment

Three short films showing - in no uncertain terms - the vulnerabilities of contemporary youth...

The second film deals with the 'catfishing' problem...a young man is compromised and blackmailed...played beautifully by the actor.

The structure of the film is its masterstroke...the ending minutes gives each story has a [different] resolution...the message is clear!

A fine, fine short film. Not pleasant though!

The Observers is a short movie that follows parallel stories of three young people who become (potential) victims of traffickers. Movie shows how young people can easily be drawn into dangerous situations. It sends a clear message that youth should share their fears, doubts and concerns with their loved ones and not hesitate to turn to specialized institutions when they are in need of help. Although it is faced with many difficulties as they grow, it is important for young person to retain faith in self and be cautious.

„Posmatraci“ je igrani edukativni film koji za cilj ima podizanje svesti i prevenciju trgovine ljudima. Kroz paralelne price o troje mladih ljudi koji postaju (potencijalne) žrtve u mreži trgovine ljudima, „Posmatraci“ šalju jasnu poruku da, uprkos brojnim zamkama odrastanja, mladi ljudi treba da veruju u sebe, da savladaju stid da svoje strahove, probleme i sumnje iskomuniciraju sa najbližima, te da ne oklevaju da se za pomoc obrate specijalizovanim institucijama.
