Students will study acting and filmmaking.
Filmmaker Emir Kusturica says he is going to open his own school of acting and directing. The director plans that the first students will begin their studies in September. Prospective students may apply for admission in April and June. The school opens in Andrićgrad cultural complex constructed at the initiative of Kusturica in Republika Srpska for preserving cultural heritage. Named after writer and Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andrić, it is located in the Serbian entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Kusturica shared his own plans on filmmaking. He said he’d like to take a pause in shooting films in Serbian. He thinks he has made enough films in Serbian and reached the ceiling. On the other hand, Kusturica finds the idea of shooting a film in China attractive.
The Serbian director’s latest film is On the Milky Road, 2016, starring Kusturica and Monica Bellucci. The story centers on a milkman during the Bosnian War who crosses the front line every day to deliver provisions to soldiers. One day he meets an Italian woman who changes his life. The world premiere took place in early September at the Venice Film Festival.
