Things Unsaid

DNF FILMS | Stories in Motion

️ The past month has been a strong reminder that meaningful stories continue to find new audiences long after their first release.
At DNF Films, we are proud to celebrate several important milestones. Our short film A Joke reached its 40th festival screening and became one of the standout titles on the SHELFTV platform.Three years after its premiere, Thing Unsaid returned to the big screen as part of the Macedonian Film Mondays program, demonstrating the lasting relevance of stories that resonate with audiences.  We were also delighted to see Fighting for Death screened in cinemas again after many years, with audience interest proving that the film continues to hold a special place in Macedonian cinema.
Looking ahead, we are especially excited that STRIGA, our international co-production with Croatia’s WOODZ, has received development support from the Macedonian Film Agency . This achievement reflects DNF Films’ continued growth and our dedication to creating stories with both local roots and international potential.
️ We are grateful to our partners, collaborators, institutions, festivals, exhibitors, and audiences for their continued support. As we build on these achievements, we remain focused on developing and producing films that connect, challenge, and endure.

New review for Things Unsaid from Filmoskopija

Pavla Banjac from Filmoskopija wrote:
“THINGS UNSAID really suffers from extensive exposition, but the carefully composed shots and certain directorial means (eg. the development of Ana and Fillip’s relationship through their marital bed, or the minimalistic and purposeful use of music) demonstrate that this is a technically very skilled film that’s worthy of attention.”

Special Mention for Things Unsaid at the Catania KinEst Fest

Special Mention for Things Unsaid at the Catania KinEst Fest, with the following motivation:

Is an intelligent, actual and relevant Kammerspiel (chamber play). By using black-and-white still to rhythmically organize the film’s poetic, it meanwhile empowers its emotional tone, adds layers to the actor’s performance and echoes their emotions. The psychological drama, taking place at one main location with three characters, works in its interior tension throughout the whole film without the need of adding any spectacular dramatic scene. Thus, the film keeps its premise and promise of having “things unsaid” until the very end. As for the direction’s craftsmanship to keep the tension in this one house among three characters, the jury decides upon this Special Mention“. 📽

The Macedonian film “Things Unsaid” by Eleonora Veninova had its premiere in the cinema “Frosina”

The premiere was filled to the last seat, and after the end of the screening, the team responsible for the production of the film was greeted with ovation.

Visitors had the opportunity to see the original photos used in the film, which were made with analog photo techniques and using the “Sabatier Effect”, i.e. the “solarized”, i.e. the “overexposed” effect from which the film gets its name.

At the cocktail party, visitors had the opportunity to personally congratulate the director, producer, cast and other filmmakers, as well as enjoy a live performance of original songs from the film by the author Leo Popović a.k.a. Dolores.
