Synopsis
Director's Biography
He has made 30 documentaries and 12 feature films, many of which have been shown and acclaimed at the most prestigious international film festivals.
The rise of nationalism in Yugoslavia forced him to leave his country in 1992. With his French wife Christine, he settled in Paris in 1994, although he continued to go back for fairly long visits to Belgrade, where his mother and two children live.
In 1998 he went back to make THE POWDER KEG but his constant criticism of Milosevic's regime met with violent, menacing attacks in the official press. Therefore, he decided once more to leave his native land in search of a country where he could make his film HOW HARRY BECAME A TREE. He found Ireland.
He returned to Belgrade upon the collapse of the Milosevic regime.
