Fall
Haunted by visions of Marko, his late childhood confidant, Pavel, now 18, grapples with a harrowing blend of grief and guilt. Convinced he’s culpable for the tragedy that befell Marko, Pavel’s journey through mourning morphs into an introspective odyssey, compelling him to face the specters of his past and the daunting truths within.

I'm Leonid Velkovski , I’m 20 and I'm a second year student at the Faculty of Film Arts at the International University "Europa Prima" in Skopje. My major is film directing.
As part of my academic work, I should mention my short film "Fall" (2023), a film about an 18-year-old bully who begins to see his deceased best friend from the childhood. "Bread and Pâté" (2022), a short still image film about a hungry student girl whose lunch is stolen from her kitchen by a homeless man.
I have made the short documentary film "Under The Cave Church" (2023), a film about a 40-year-old man that lives ascetically in a canyon. The short documentary film was made through the program "Balkan Young Talents" by IDFF Beldocs in Belgrade and AJB DOC Film Festival in Sarajevo.
I've worked as the first assistant director for the short film “Bug” (director Filip Momirovski, Media Tag, 2023).
I'm a member of "Kultura Beta" (since 2021), a youth association in Skopje for creative and cultural expression. As a part of "Kultura Beta", I write articles about film art, film suggestions, and film reviews, often collaborating with film festivals (e.g. "Philosophical Film Festival" – Skopje). Also, I interview artists from various fields about their artwork and their views on society. I have published articles about film in the art magazine "Umnik", a magazine published by the Faculty of Fine Arts, The Saints Cyril and Methodius University – Skopje, and film reviews in the art and culture magazine "Sovremenost".
I received an award from "Script Fest" (2022) in Skopje, in the category “Best film script” for several short film scripts.
