Dog Day
A young and enthusiastic dog-sitter Srna comes to work one day, where she discovers that the dog is dead, and the dog's owner has a list of weird requests for her. Trying to quiet her own guilt over a dog's death, even though she's not necessarily guilty at all, Srna agrees on everything.

Jelica Jerinić is a Serbian-born and Helsinki-based filmmaker. She holds a BA and MA in Dramaturgy, from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade. She is an alumna of: Academy of Moving People and Images, Sarajevo Talents, European Short Pitch, EFM Fiction Toolbox Programme and Torino Film Lab. She has directed four short films: a documentary, "Girls Who Cut Their Hair Short", fiction films, "Dog Day" and "Duck Roast", and an 8mm docu-fiction, "Sweet Memories". She is currently developing a short fiction film "Imaginary Numbers", supported by Film Center Serbia, Croatian Audiovisual Centre and Creative Europe Media. She is a co-founder of a Helsinki based film collective "Film Tonight!".
"Dog Day" is a story about people’s need to be liked, and how far we are willing to go to get others to like us. Being liked is especially important to Srna - as a recent immigrant, she has an inherent need to fit in, to belong. In many ways, "Dog Day" is a reaction to my own experiences since I moved to Finland, and the story speaks of struggle I personally understand very well.
