Urška Djukić studied at the School of Arts of the University of Nova Gorica. In 2016, she shot the short feature-animated film “Dober tek, življenje!”, for which she received the Vesna award for the best short film at the 19th Festival of Slovenian Film. In 2018, she co-directed the film “The right one”, which premiered in Cannes, Directors’ Fortnight 2019 as part of the omnibus SEE Factory Sarajevo mon amour. In the same year, she was selected for the 39th edition of the Ciné fondation Rezidence, where she developed her the first feature film titled “Little Trouble Girls”. In 2021, she continued the development of her debut film at the Torino Film Lab workshop.

Urška’s new short animated-documentary film “Granny’s Sexual Life” received many awards, including the Grand Prix Tampere 2022, Vesna for special achievements at the Festival of Slovenian Film 2021 and the European Film Award EFA 2022 for the best European film, and at the same time it is nominated for award of the French Film Academy Cézar 2023.
