This week at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, 10 participants of the Future Frames program for young European directors met with Greek director Christos Nikou. As the director of notable films like "Apples" and "Fingernails," Nikou shared his experiences by mentoring young talents. Variety attended this inspiring discussion and noted that Nikou emphasized the importance of filmmakers "finding their voices."

Nikou explained to young directors the necessity of expressing themselves in the film world and finding an original voice. This means not only technical knowledge but also the reflection of personal experiences and emotions in cinema. He pointed out that young people need to find the courage to tell their own stories, providing motivation to overcome the challenges they will face in this process.

This interaction at the festival offered a significant opportunity for young directors to shape their careers. Nikou's experiences and advice helped participants broaden their perspectives on the art of cinema. Additionally, it once again highlighted the importance of such mentoring programs in contributing to the development of the new generation of filmmakers.
