Director
Goran Paskaljević
Goran Paskaljević studied at the Prague school of cinema (FAMU). The rise of nationalism in Yugoslavia forced him to leave his country in 1992. In 1998 he went back to make Powder Keg which won international critics’ prizes (FIPRESCI) at the Venice Film Festival and the European Film Awards. He has made 30 documentaries and 16 feature films, acclaimed at the most prestigious international film festivals (Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Toronto, San Sebastian etc.). In 2001 Variety International Film Guide marked him as one of the world’s top five directors of the year. The Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) in 2008 and the British Film Institute (London) in 2010, both presented a full retrospective of his work.
