Production highlights
Although Mandić has been making films since the early 1980s, including an extensive series of documentaries for Czech television between 1995 and 2002, it was not until 2005 that he produced his first film under the Filmostovje banner. This was Borderline Lovers (2005), a feature-length documentary that examined the lives of three couples who had married across political and cultural divides after the Yugoslav wars. The effect of those wars on personal and professional life was further addressed in the feature film Adria Blues (2013), which was co-produced by Filmostovje, Gustav Film and Senca Studio, while Igram, sem (I Act, I am, 2018), another feature, explores the dividing lines (or lack of them) between acting and real life.
