Laura Ana Krijan

Hello, I'm Laura Ana Krijan, a sixteen year old highschooler from Karlovac, Croatia. Some of the things I enjoy are literature, history, cinema, food and long walks shrouded in contemplation of my own existence. I'm really fond of the works of Oscar Wilde, and in regards to film i have a rather deep-rooted fascination with asian culture, and consequently appreciate directors such as Wong Kar-wai. Aesthetically, im attracted to anything with an antique or vintage look, that has a vivid imprint of time itself, like a dusty sepia colored photograph, and i especially love when small details like that are shown in movies, when you can see that the director paid extra attention to the cinematography and atmosphere.
