DROUGHT / SUŠA, written and directed by Dalibor Matanić and starring Leona Paraminski, becomes the first Croatian film since independence to be selected for Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight / Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, where it screens in 2003.
The 14-minute short, shot on 35 mm, follows a young woman on a remote Adriatic island where she is the only person able to walk. Its Cannes selection opens a new international chapter for Croatian short film and for Matanić’s work.
Drought later wins the Oktavijan Award for Best Short Film at the Croatian Film Days, while Branko Linta receives the Special Kodak Award for cinematography.
Croatian Film Chronicle / Hrvatski filmski ljetopis
SUŠA / DROUGHT, prema scenariju i u režiji Dalibora Matanića, s Leonom Paraminski u glavnoj ulozi, postaje prvi hrvatski film od osamostaljenja uvršten u canneski Directors’ Fortnight / Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, gdje je prikazan 2003. godine.
Kratki film u trajanju od 14 minuta, snimljen na 35 mm, prati mladu ženu na udaljenom jadranskom otoku na kojem je ona jedina osoba koja može hodati. Canneska selekcija otvara novo međunarodno poglavlje za hrvatski kratki film i Matanićev rad.
Suša kasnije osvaja nagradu Oktavijan za najbolji kratki film na Danima hrvatskog filma, dok Branko Linta dobiva posebnu Kodakovu nagradu za filmsku fotografiju.
KINO LIKA / LIKA CINEMA, based on the novel by Damir Karakaš, is one of Dalibor Matanić’s wildest productions — built around local non-professional performers, improvisation and an atmosphere that constantly pushes the fiction close to documentary reality.
The energy of the shoot does not stop when filming ends. According to a local story that circulates afterwards, group of extras even want to make their own version of the film. The story later takes a darker, reportedly tragic turn — one of the extras is said to have drowned — and continues to circulate as part of the film’s local mythology.
Out of that raw, unpredictable energy comes a film that feels just as alive off screen as on it. Kino Lika wins two Golden Arenas and the Breza debut award at the Pula Film Festival, the Grand Prix “Golden Olive Tree” at the Festival del Cinema Europeo in Lecce, the Matad’or Grand Prix and Student Jury Award at the Noordelijk Film Festival in the Netherlands, and the Young Jury Award at Cinemed in Montpellier.
KINO LIKA / LIKA CINEMA, snimljen prema istoimenom romanu Damira Karakaša, jedno je od najluđih snimanja Dalibora Matanića — oslonjeno na lokalne naturščike, improvizaciju i atmosferu koja igrani film neprestano gura blizu dokumentarne stvarnosti.
Energija snimanja ne prestaje završetkom seta. Priča se o grupi statista koja čak želi snimiti vlastitu verziju filma. Priča kasnije dobiva mračniji, navodno tragičan obrat — prema lokalnoj priči, jedan od statista navodno se utopio — i nastavlja kružiti kao dio lokalne mitologije filma.
Iz te sirove i nepredvidive energije nastaje film koji jednako snažno živi izvan ekrana kao i na njemu. Kino Lika osvaja dvije Zlatne arene i debitantsku nagradu Breza na Pulskom filmskom festivalu, Grand Prix “Golden Olive Tree” na Festival del Cinema Europeo u Lecceu, Matad’or Grand Prix i nagradu studentskog žirija na Noordelijk Film Festivalu u Nizozemskoj te nagradu mladog žirija na Cinemedu u Montpellieru.
DADDY / ĆAĆA was shot using an improvisational approach in just 10 shooting days, with much of the film made in director Dalibor Matanić’s family house in Lika.
In the film’s unsettling atmosphere, Ivo Gregurević fits perfectly, bringing a powerful presence to the story. Matanić had already successfully collaborated with him on Kino Lika. At the 2011 Pula Film Festival, Daddy won the Golden Arena for Best Director, Golden Arena for Best Cinematography for Vanja Černjul and Golden Arena for Best Supporting Actress for Iva Mihalić. The film also received the FEDEORA Award for Best Film in the national programme.
ĆAĆA / DADDY snimljen je improvizacijskim pristupom u samo 10 dana snimanja, velikim dijelom u obiteljskoj kući redatelja Dalibora Matanića u Lici.
U jezovitu atmosferu filma sjajno se uklopio i Ivo Gregurević, donoseći priči snažnu glumačku prisutnost. Matanić je s njim već uspješno surađivao na filmu Kino Lika. Na Pulskom filmskom festivalu 2011. Ćaća je osvojio Zlatnu arenu za najbolju režiju, Zlatnu arenu za kameru Vanje Černjula i Zlatnu arenu za najbolju sporednu žensku ulogu Ive Mihalić. Film je osvojio i nagradu FEDEORA za najbolji film u nacionalnom programu.
THE LAST SOCIALIST ARTEFACT remains one of the most production-intensive television projects made in the region in recent years. On the final day of the Croatian part of the shoot, the production officially completed more than 200 shots in a single day — a figure that can reasonably be regarded as a regional record.
Directed by Dalibor Matanić, the series went on to achieve major international recognition, including the Grand Prix at Series Mania and the Audience Award at Seriencamp in Munich. It also won five Heart of Sarajevo awards, including Best Drama Series and Best Director.
PODRUČJE BEZ SIGNALA ostaje jedan od produkcijski najintenzivnijih regionalnih televizijskih projekata posljednjih godina. Na posljednjem danu hrvatskog dijela snimanja serije službeno je snimljeno više od 200 kadrova u jednom danu — brojka koja se s razlogom može smatrati regionalnim rekordom.
Seriju je režirao Dalibor Matanić, a njezin međunarodni uspjeh potvrđen je osvajanjem Grand Prixa na Series Mania i Nagrade publike na Seriencampu u Münchenu. Uz to, serija je osvojila i pet Srca Sarajeva, uključujući nagrade za najbolju dramsku seriju i najbolju režiju.
THE HIGH SUN / ZVIZDAN, written and directed by Dalibor Matanić, became the first Croatian film selected for the European Parliament’s LUX Film Prize.
The film was included among ten European titles in the official LUX selection, following its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section.
Set in 1991, 2001 and 2011, The High Sun tells three stories of forbidden love between young people from two neighbouring villages marked by ethnic conflict and the aftermath of war.
The film was produced by Kinorama, Gustav Film and SEE Film Pro.
THE HIGH SUN / ZVIZDAN is the first film in Matanić’s Trilogy of the Sun, followed by THE DAWN / ZORA.
ZVIZDAN / THE HIGH SUN, prema scenariju i u režiji Dalibora Matanića, postao je prvi hrvatski film uvršten u selekciju Nagrade LUX Europskog parlamenta.
Film je izabran među deset europskih naslova u službenoj LUX selekciji, nakon svjetske premijere na Cannes film festivalu, gdje je osvojio Nagradu žirija u programu Un Certain Regard.
Smješten u 1991., 2001. i 2011. godinu, Zvizdan kroz tri priče o zabranjenoj ljubavi prati mlade ljude iz dvaju susjednih sela obilježenih etničkim sukobom i posljedicama rata.
Film su proizveli Kinorama, Gustav Film i SEE Film Pro.
ZVIZDAN / THE HIGH SUN prvi je film Matanićeve Trilogije sunca, koju nastavlja ZORA / THE DAWN.
