Director & producer

After a career in a completely different field, which involved working with marginalized groups of children and youth, Ivan Jović, in addition to his writing, returned to his first love – film. Following several short fiction films, he produced and directed “Isceljenje” (Healing) in 2014, a film that gained significant international acclaim, winning multiple awards at foreign festivals. He then dedicated himself to an extensive archival-documentary project about the suffering of civilians during the Holocaust and World War II genocide. The documentary film “Zaveštanje” (Legacy), edited from over 450 hours of recorded testimonies, had its world premiere in 2017. Following that, under the specific conditions of the global COVID pandemic, he produced and directed the film “Lazarev put” (Lazarus Path) in 2024.
