Nebojsa Britcevic for 24 hours: 'I try not to think about award because there is a big porch …'
It is a wonderful feeling, with all these awards, now this is how to save for Oscare. But I will tell you honestly, I can't wait for all these ceremonies and awards to finish so I can devote myself normally to work again, he told us Nebojsa British.
We talked a few days before the trip to Paris, at the Cesar National Film Award award. From there, he will travel to the scene of the Award of the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences on Sunday. The blind man « who could not remain silent » was nominated in the short film category, and the first is the nomination for us since independence. Since its publication, the nomination has been a Croatian film for a reward from criticism, and recently on bookmakers.

Nebojsa Britcevic for 24 hours: 'I try not to think about award because there is a big porch …'
– I saw it, but we'll find out the decision soon, when the envelope opens. Until then, I don't want to burden myself. But whatever the decision is, it will be fine. 9000 people will vote here, and as far as I know, they had to watch all five films in our category. I believe in their professionalism and their decision. I watched all five films and are good, important, quality. Whatever the winner's victory, it will be good – Blonger tells us modestly.
The award series began with a gold palm in Cannes.
« A really amazing experience to climb the stage, on the evening when one George Lucas receives a Lifetime Achievement Award from the hands of Francis Ford Coppole. It's a little strange to me, everything sounds unreal, but what is more important than that is that I dedicated this award to Toma Buzov, a man who inspired this movie, « Turncevic said, receiving the award.
There is no care with awards, there is also a « European Oscar », and everything could, hopefully, culminate in Los Angeles on Monday night.
– Uh, the Cannes Award was a rocket. And you don't expect an Oscar nomination then. I live a strange life right now, I never thought I would change the continents like that.
It's a lot of short films in the world every year, and get a prize at Cannes, so be nominated for an Oscar … I thought it was impossible.
He is proud of the awards, as well as his family, whom he « honored » with travel to Paris. First, the son of Mika, who went to first grade last year, and now his wife Vanja, a film producer. The announcement of the Oscar nomination, which was in Croatian time in the early afternoon, was waiting at a Zagreb restaurant, with stuffed peppers.
'Rested and concentrated'
Then he went to a nearby HAVC at a press conference. Los Angeles will not be able to relax too much, at least not with stuffed peppers.
– I try not to think too much about the award itself yet, the porch is big. But yes, there will be more 'diet' there, so there are these major events that are in live broadcasts. There are not many dishes and drinks. You have to come much earlier, rested and concentrated on everything that is happening – said Blind, who we asked if he had prepared a speech.
– No, I'm waiting for inspiration.
There are at least no problem for the « clock ». Before Cannes, he went to Varteks, then existed, and bought a tuxedo. As he recently told us, he had to « rearrange him » him a little, but because of his awards he has already traveled a lot.
– Yes, I go to Los Angeles with him. I must also mention that he is not sponsored – Slogepcevic joked.
As he told us, he makes him happy to go with him and a good part of the team, « to share happy moments together. » Not everyone will be able to attend the ceremony itself, but it will be there. And with the Blikers, the actors will be in Los Angeles and the actors Goran Bogdan, Dusan Micanovic, Lara Nekic and Silvio Mumelas. Producers Katarina Prpic and Daniel Pekset designer Ivan February and editor Tomislav Stojanovic. Nebojsa was recently in Los Angeles with Goran Bogdan.
– We had a promotion of the film, organized projections, it was interesting, I met some people, one of them was the producer of Lawrence Bender (his films were nominated 36 times for Oscar, Op. A.), He worked with Tarantina. We also mentioned potential projects – blinded, blind.
But that will wait a little. Now everything is focused on the movie « The Man who couldn't remain silent. » It's not easy theme at all. The story is true, about one hero II criminals. The year is 1993, and the train on the bar – Belgrade stopped in Strpci in BiH. The paramilitary forces are in the action of ethnic cleansing, and while taking innocent civilians, only one of 500 passengers dares to oppose them. This is Mr. Ivan Buzov. « This is a true story of a man who couldn't remain silent, » the movie announced.
– It's not easy, but I'm coming from a documentary, I'm used to making movies about real and serious events. You have this great responsibility, you must not traumatize people, but it has to come to catharsis, that something like that never happens again, that people learn something. It is neither easy nor fun, but it is very important – says Blind.
In new projects
And the job is currently over the head. Therefore, that sentence from the beginning of the text, that she cannot wait for all these allocations to complete.
– I am mostly in new projects than in awards, although they are, of course, cheerful. I am completing the short documentary 'Red Tobogan', on the civic initiative to preserve the park on Savica. This is for Zagreb Dox. And I also finish the script for the feature film 'Crna Mother Earth', according to the novel by Kristian Novak – blinds uses us.
Zagreb: Director Nebojša Blind |
But now a few more days are the focus on the movie « The Man who couldn't remain silent. » About him and the fate of this buzz in the text « A man who couldn't remain silent: those 13 minutes a deafening truth » wrote for Express and Emir Imamovic Pirke.
– The blind man could stretch out the 'man …' to show the life of the Dalmatian military pensioner Tome Buzov in Belgrade, and his relationship with his son serving in the army of the country whose forces occupied a third of the one in which Buzov was born, the screenplay to stop by Bosnia and Chetnik, the Muslims there, explain how the victims of Srcci whose stations are in the strings, and thus in the most effective way possible to kill the most important thing, those 13 minutes of horror that actually stopped the life and death of Tome Buzov, in which all his illusions were burned, and all his ancient ideals were suffocated in the blood – writes pirks for Express.
