Vera Lacková, the director and producer at Media Voice, has been actively engaged in shedding light on current ethnic and political issues within the Roma community. Her debut film How I Became a Partisan explores the forgotten stories of Roma partisans, inspired by her great-grandfather, Ján Lacko. Supported by the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture (ERIAC), Lacková's participation aims to build connections for future collaborations.
Lacková’s accolades, including the IGRIC 2022 National Film Award for Film and Television, highlight her impact on the cinematic landscape. Her participation in prestigious programs such as the IDFA Academy and her recent memberships in the European Film Academy underscore her growing influence as a filmmaker. With Do Magic, Lacková continues to push boundaries, weaving narratives that challenge perceptions and foster understanding.
