I Put My Ideas Into

I Never Wanted An Independent Bosnia. I Wanted Yugoslavia. That Is My Country.

The Advantage Of The Gypsy Language, Even Though I Don't Understand It That Much, The Language Is Perfect Melody. So If You Propose The Movie The Way I Do, Then The Language Is Just One Part Of The Melody. Orchestrating All Inside, And The Language Is Following The Meaning Of What They Say, And It's Never The Same As Written.

Every Movie That I Do, If You Analyze The Stories, You Can Notice That In Each Story, That Within The Movie After The First 15 Minutes, It Could Fall Apart. Or Every 10 Minutes It Has The Chance That You Lose The Thread. On The Other Hand, If You Succeed In Putting Them Together, Then The Movie Looks Spontaneous And More Like Cinema.

I Am A Living Illustration Of Bosnian Mixing And Converting. My Grandparents Lived In Eastern Herzegovina. Very Poor. The Turks Came And Brought Islam. There Were Three Brothers In The Family. One Was Orthodox Christian. The Other Two Took Islam To Survive.

My Purpose Is To Make A Movie To Make You Warm. To Give You Some Heat. Now, This Rational World Has Become A Place Where Only What Is Cool Is Good. Do You Cut The Movie On The Basis Of The Beat Of Modernity Or The Basis Of The Beat Of Your Own Heart?
