Director

Srdjan Dragojević (b. 1963, Belgrade), who ranks among the top Serbian screenwriters and directors, graduated in psychology and film direction. In 1992 he debuted with We Are Not Angels (Mi nismo anđeli), which was very well received in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. A biting, comic undertone is also evident in the much-appreciated film Pretty Village Pretty Flame. His next title, Wounds (Rane, 1998), looks at life in Yugoslavia through the eyes of a different generation but with no less cruelty. After two years spent in the USA, Dragojević returned to Serbia where he shot the sequel We Are Not Angels 2 (Mi nismo anđeli 2), and also wrote the third installment in the series. The director’s latest movie is the period epic St. George Slays the Dragon (Sveti Georgije ubiva azdahu, 2009). —KVIFF
