Pavilion 6 2024
While state authorities chase down supplies of increasingly rare Covid vaccinations, the queues of those waiting for them stretch endlessly along streets. Those queuing comprise a microcosm of the populace – a tapestry of personalities that range from stern gatekeepers to elderly women deliberating over vaccine preferences. As it moves from the bustling queues to the hushed interiors of vaccination centres, Pavilion 6 shifts from patients to the nurses and other members of staff.

What's to Be Done? 2023
Zeljko is the labour union leader at Gredelj Train Factory. His deputy, Mladen, has committed suicide after massive public protests and inter-union clashes. Zeljko is torn between the guilt he feels over Mladen’s death and workers’ expectations that he will lead a strike that should thwart a plan by the government, acting on the EU’s behest, to declare the factory bankrupt. WHAT’S TO BE DONE? is structured in three acts. The first act uses observational documentary footage; the second, footage filmed a decade later; while the third is fiction.

In the Name of the Republic of Croatia 2019

The Steel Mill Cafe 2017
Erna and Dževad are the owners of a pub in the vicinity of a steel mill, a complex that used to be one of the largest of its kind in Eastern Europe.

Two Furnaces for Udarnik Josip Trojko 2012 star_border 7.5
Two Furnaces for Udarnik Josip Trojko follows the disassembling of the famous Siemens-Martin furnace, which once stood at the heart of the huge Yugoslavian iron industry.

Don Juan: Excuse me, Miss! 2011

The Flood 2010
Passive regions of Lika, Kosinja and neighboring villages every twenty years affect the flood caused by abundant rains and snow melting. The director is questioning whether a natural disaster can connect what the close war past separated?

Happy Land 2008
A "road movie" to the past: two buses, two journeys, two final destinations, two opposing ideologies. The first bus carrying "the victors" on their way to commemorate and celebrate Tito's birthday at his birthplace, the second transporting the elderly and "defeated", as well as some young idealists, to the place of the World War II massacre at Bleiburg. But to the filmmaker Goran Devic, an outsider and observer, it was much more than that: "I was struck by the dramatic and emotional "sameness" of what was going on around me."
