Directing

Born March 7, 1997 · Čadca, Czechoslovakia [now Slovakia]

Rastislav Kupšo is a master’s student in film directing at the Film and Television Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. His work primarily explores themes of guilt, existential despair, the inability to change, and the search for love and inner peace. Although he deals with serious and heavy subjects, he approaches them with lightness and playfulness. His stories often feature humor and magical elements, opening the door to imagination, symbolism, and the poetry of everyday life. His work is also characterized by a distinctive visual stylization and settings in an indeterminate time.
