(A) Torzija
Slovenia
During the three and a half year siege of Sarajevo from 1992 to 1995, the only connection of Sarajevo’s ordinary people with the outside world was a tunnel, which they secretly dug out under the runway of the Sarajevo airport. People called it "The Tunnel", but it looked more like an underground gutter … Fit for animals, not for humans … If this tunnel could speak, it could tell thousands of sad stories … Setting out on a European tour from the besieged Sarajevo, an amateur choir must leave town via the tunnel, but a pregnant cow needs their help first.
Born in Belgrade in 1977, Stefan studied Philosophy and worked as a journalist. He graduated from the Faculty of Drama Arts in Belgrade, film & TV directing department.
(A) TORSION is his forth short fiction film after THE PLUM TREE (2000), NIGHT PORTER (2001) and LITTLE MORNING STORY (2002).
