Author of the film – Dragan Gavrilović
“LETTER TO TESLA” from the future is a seven-minute feature-documentary film in which twelve-year-old Lara writes an imaginary letter to Nikola Tesla. Through her words, the film travels between Tesla’s visionary ideas and the modern world shaped by them. Lara reflects on technology, humanity and the responsibility of future generations, questioning whether progress without compassion is enough. The film becomes a poetic dialogue through time and reminds us that Tesla’s greatest legacy, which is not only electricity, but the light of curiosity, kindness and imagination carried by those who come after him.
