We had the privilege of speaking with Macedonian-Australian filmmaker Goran Stolevski on the Popternative show about his new film Of An Age which will be released exclusively in theaters on February 17th. The film made its debut in Australia this past summer as the opening night film at the Melbourne International Film Festival and went on to claim one of Australia’s most coveted film prizes at MIFF@CinefestOZ. Of An Age is Stolevski’s second feature following his feature directorial debut You Won’t Be Alone which made its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.
Written and directed by Goran Stolevski, starring Elias Anton, Thom Green, and Hattie Hook, Of An Age is set in the summer of 1999 as an 18-year-old Serbian born, Australian amateur ballroom dancer experiences an unexpected and intense 24-hour romance with a friend’s older brother in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.
Of An Age Synopsis
Focus Features
Summer 1999. In blue-collar North Melbourne, Serbian immigrant Kol is out of school forever. He’s preparing for the Australian Dance finals when he receives a distress call from his dance partner, Ebony, who has woken up on an unfamiliar beach after a big night out. With the help of Ebony’s older brother, Adam, they attempt to make it to the finals on time but when Kol and Adam get stuck in summer traffic, they begin to realize they have more in common than they first thought. Over the course of the next 24 hours, an unexpected and intense romance blossoms. A decade later the pair meet for a bittersweet reunion.
In our interview, Goran discusses working in different genres including drama and horror which he previously worked in with You Won’t Be Alone. He then goes into detail about what it was like developing the car in Of An Age as its own character which is a central part of the film.
