Branko Marjanović

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Branko Marjanovic (Zagreb, May 12, 1909 - Zagreb, February 13, 1996) was a Croatian film director and editor.

He graduated from drama school in Zagreb, a movie experience gained in Prague and work on educational film in Zagreb.

During World War II he led the Croatian production, directed, wrote, produced and edited the film, and after the war he continued with the director and editor work even on a feature film.

Marjanovic directed the film Ciguli Miguli, a 1952 Yugoslav political satire. It was meant to be the first satirical film of the post-World War II Yugoslav cinema, but its sharp criticism of bureaucracy was politically condemned by the authorities and the film was banned as "anti-socialist".

Given up film making, he devoted himself to documentaries about nature ("Small Miracles of nature big", "Marmot," Griffon Vulture "). He received the Vladimir Nazor Croatian State Award.
