DirectorWriterActor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Slobodan Šijan (born November 16, 1946, Belgrade, Yugoslavia) is a Serbian film director. After graduating film direction and directing a handful of TV movies in the late 1970s, he caught a big break with his first full-length feature Ko to tamo peva in 1980. The enormous success of that film written by Dušan Kovačević led to the duo collaborating on another project - 1982's Maratonci trče počasni krug, which also achieved considerable critical and commercial success. Over the coming years Šijan directed two more notable films - Kako sam sistematski uništen od idiota and Davitelj protiv davitelja. As of 2001, he is teaching at Loyola Marymount University film school. His favorite movie is Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo (1959).

A Man from the Border

A Man from the Border

This feature-length documentary about Professor Jože Dolmark shows the protagonist as a man of many insights, interests and talents; as an art historian, an authority on literature and the history of cinema and photography, a film critic, cineaste, screenwriter, actor, and above all an extraordinary teacher and professor, and in a new light: intimately, through anecdotes and his world view, as befits a man of his greatness. Jože Dolmark is a brilliant intellectual, an eloquent speaker, and an astute observer of Slovenian culture, cinema, and life at large.

Censored without Censorship

Censored without Censorship

Through the conversation with Yugoslav film authors and excerpts from their films, this documentary film tells a story of a film phenomenon and censorship, and its focus is, in fact, a painful epoch of Yugoslav film called “a Black Wave”, which was the most important and artistically strongest period of Yugoslav film industry, created in the sixties and buried in the early seventies by means of ideological and political decisions. The film tells a great “thriller” story of the ideological madness which characterised the totalitarian psychology having left multiple consequences felt up to our very days. It stresses similarities between totalitarian regimes defending their taboos on the example of the persecution of the most important Yugoslav film authors. Those film authors have, however, made world careers and inspired many later authors. The film is the beginning of a debt pay-off to the most significant Yugoslav film authors.
