BIOGRAPHY - Oleg Novković
Oleg Novkovic, a film director, was born in Belgrade in 1968 and in 1993 graduated from the faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade in the class of Srdjan Karanovic.
His professional career began with the film “KAZI ZASTO ME OSTAVI” (“WHY HAVE YOU LEFT ME”) which won recognition thanks to its strong antiwar message and was among the first pacifistic films made in the territory of former Yugoslavia. Novkovic’s poetic expression is powerful and authentic. The author has dedicated his films to specific social themes and the criticism of society where emphasis is laid on the violent passions of “ordinary people” at the cruel times of transition and grave crisis of moral values.
