Marija Kovačina is a film editor, multimedia artist and musician based in Belgrade, Serbia. Coming from a multimedia engineering background, she utilises a spectrum of skills to make a diverse approach to visual arts. Her main field is documentary film making, editing and directing for independent cinema as well as commercial or TV productions.
She is a member of Eho animato, performing arts and multimedia practices research collective. Her role in the collective is technical leadership but she enjoys combining it with the performative role since she spent a big part of her life as musical performer.
