WdKA x MtMF24: Teaser Project
For the Movies that Matter Festival 2024, we asked the talented second-year Audiovisual Design students from the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam to create teasers that they believe represent the festival’s vision. Check out the winning teasers!
Iga Wojak
About Iga: ”Urban culture, music, graffiti, street photography, videography, metro, dirt, imperfections, hip hop, dance, peace, love and unity thats what I grew up on. With this video for Movies that Matter I decided to go into my roots and make it into something that can speak and attract people my age to go to a festival that talks about the importance of individuality, human rights, activism by representing my own subculture. I wanted to show how important issues are also spoke about in underground cultures and how we can use our circles of interests to get an message of social value out.”
Logline: Ever wondered how urban culture connects with the heartbeat of the youth while tackling crucial issues and sparking activism? Are you ready to dive into a world where every spray can speaks volumes?

Jasmin Delev
About Jasmin: “I am a young Moldovan audiovisual creator based in Rotterdam. My biggest accomplishment so far is winning Chitila Film Fest 2022 with my documentary debut. The mystery of nature, the irony of death, the oneirism, the fantasy, the childlike human nature – are some of the topics I love to explore.”
Logline: Tired of another cliché blockbuster, Meep is teleported into a magical world where they are shown what movies matter.
