Bosnian cinema - and director Pjer Zalica

[Karabatic, Frane]

Dear, Susan.

I hope I can help with some information. First of all, it's nice to see that someone is interesting to explore Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian cinematography. There is so may good movies that I can recommend  (apart from the above you've said) – for example:  Sto je muskarac bez brkova (What is a man without a moustache), Armin, Duga mracna noc (Long dark night), Sivi kamion crvene boje (Red coloured grey truck), etc.

Here is the link that can help for your further research on line (GENERAL LINK): 
http://www.film.hr/baza_film_svifilmovi.php?filmoviPage=1
The site is in Croatian, but writing the each title in Google I'm sure you can find additional information.

FOR EACH COUNTRY

Croatian movies: http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodatak:Popis_hrvatskih_filmova (''naslov filma'' is Croatian term for TITLE) 

Bosnian movies: Grbavica, Nicija zemlja (No man's Land), Gori vatra (Fuse), Kod amidze Idriza (Days and hours), Ljeto u zlatnoj dolini (Summer in the Golden Valley), Snijeg (Snow)...

List of Serbian movies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Serbian_films 

P.S. one thing that I would like to mention is to make a comment about one of your sentences. Talking about languages of Former Yugoslavia I must say that today we talk about 3 different languages: Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian Language. It's not that I'm so sensitive when someone says Serbo-Croatian, it's just for the sake of general knowledge in intellectual circles...

Best.
I hope I helped.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Bosnian cinema - and director Pjer Zalica

Dear Seelangers,

I am looking for information about and contact information for Bosnian film
director Pjer Zalica ("Gori Vatra"/"Fuse," "Kod amidze Idriza"/"Days and
Hours," to interview him for a possible review in SlavFile (ATA journal). I
am not finding much on the Internet about him, although his first feature
film, Fuse, was widely acclaimed and is available on Netflix. "Days and
Hours" (2005) is apparently "unreleased," although there was much enthusiasm
for it when it toured the film festivals. I have not succeeded in finding a
copy to watch.

I am a Russian-English translator, and do not know Bosnian/Serbo-Croatian,
nor do I know anything about cinema in Bosnia and the other countries of
former Yugoslavia. I would love to have suggestions on how to learn more.
(Again, the Internet has not been very helpful.) I find it striking that a
country that has gone through the horrors that Bosnia did, emerged so
quickly to produce some really excellent films, of which "Fuse" is certainly
one. If there are excellent films from Serbia, Croatia, and the other
former-Yugoslav countries, I would be interested in those, as well.

Thanks in advance,
Susan Welsh
