Logline: A provocative artist seeks to liberate her own pain in the name of art.
Synopsis: Born Just Now offers an intimate look at Marta Jovanović, a Belgrade-based artist struggling to cope with the violence that has ended an eight-year marriage. Daring to live on her own terms, Jovanović has chosen art and art-making over marriage and abuse. Through provocative acts of endurance exploring intimacy, motherhood and the trauma of the Balkan wars, she seeks to confront, release, and liberate her own pain in the name of art.
