The Walk


THE WALK (2023) is a documentary film exploring access to education in rural Montenegro through the daily journeys of children from the region of Gornja Morača, who walk up to 15 kilometers across mountains, forests, and rivers to reach school.

Through an intimate observational approach, the work reflects on resilience, inequality, and the relationship between communities and their landscapes. Beyond documenting lived realities, the film explores the role of storytelling as a catalyst for social engagement, demonstrating how artistic practice can create visibility, encourage collective action, and contribute to meaningful change.

THE WALK became part of a humanitarian campaign that successfully secured transportation for the students, transforming the documentary from an act of observation into a platform for solidarity and direct social impact.

About
   



Marija Mitrović (MARIEK) is a Montenegrin sound artist, pianist, composer, and audiovisual creator working across contemporary music, performance, and immersive media. Rooted in contemporary piano and experimental composition, her practice expands into audiovisual installation and transmedia performance, combining acoustic instruments, voice, live processing, spatial sound, moving image, and digital technologies. Through these elements she develops hybrid works in which sound, image, space, and technology continuously reshape the conditions of perception.

At the core of her work is listening as a way of relating-to oneself, to others, and to the environment. Rather than treating sound as a fixed object, she approaches it as a shifting field of attention, resonance, and presence, creating audiovisual environments where perception becomes unstable, shared, and in flux.

Her projects include audiovisual installations, expanded cinema and transmedia performances, and collaborative compositions that engage both performers and audiences within immersive, technologically mediated environments. Working at the intersection of sound and moving image, she explores how meaning emerges through embodied listening, visual perception, proximity, and interaction within shared sensory space.
