Moreover, the music video Santé for Stromae was a finalist in the editing category at the 2022 Ciclope Festival. Katarina argues that the editing process doesn’t start in post-production. On the contrary, it is important to work with the rhythm as well as the film language at the very beginning process of screenwriting, which the editing itself will only compliment.“ Thus, consulting scripts with directors is a practice which Katarina finds the most valuable.
