Petar Lalovic

He finished Theater and Film Academy in Zagreb and graduated from Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade. He has made over 200 documentaries, in which he was a screenwriter, director and cameraman. He also filmed feature films and TV series. Lalovic's vocation are metaphorical films about nature, for which he won over 150 awards both in Yugoslavia and abroad. His long feature film Ptice koje ne polete (Some Birds Can't Fly) received more than 20 awards, including four Grand Prix in Europe. However, the film critique and the movie theater audience feel that his greatest achievement was the fact that, with his documentary films Poslednja oaza (The Last Oasis) and Svet koji nestaje (The Vanishing World), he managed to make the documentary film find its way back into the movie theaters.
