Marko Stojiljković is a professional film journalist and critic, as well as an occasional film festival programmer. Originally from Serbia, but based in Slovenia, he can be spotted at a number of film festivals, mainly in Central and Eastern Europe. He is a regular contributor to international publications Cineuropa, Asian Movie Pulse and the European Animation Journal, along with a handful of media in the region of former Yugoslavia. He is a member of the Croatian Film Critics Society and Slovenian and international branch of FIPRESCI.
Marko is a proponent of the theory that no movie is useless and, no matter how bad it is, it deserves a review, so it could serve as a bad example. For instance, to appreciate the heights of the elevated genre pieces, one has to see enough trash and schlock to have something to compare them to. He describes his approach as heavy metal film criticism, complete with blast beats, riffs, loud vocals and word “solos” arranged in a flexible, but clear structure – angry and loud, but articulate.
