CV:
Maja Ležaja, originally from Zadar, now resides in Rijeka, where she completed her undergraduate degree in Cultural Studies. She currently works as a cinema operator at Art Kino in Rijeka. In her free time, she enjoys photography, filming, watching movies, and engaging in good conversation with friends—especially at Dnevni Boravak, a café that inspired her first documentary film. Maja describes herself as someone who thrives on good times with her closest friends and maintains a cheerful and optimistic outlook on life. Consequently, when selecting topics to film, she gravitates towards lively and comical situations.

City beach, a sanctuary where many seek relief on scorching summer days. Bare bodies in search of refreshment, inflatable floats, ice creams, cocktails. A choreography of escape from the searing asphalt reality.
