Miranovacka Kula

Story

Village life is hard work in the rural Balkans for those who stayed behind and resisted industrialisation.

This is the village of my grandparents in Serbia called Miranovacka Kula. I've been visiting this place every year since I was born and it will always be special to me.

I really tried to capture the mood of village life in the Balkans as a whole and the effects that post World War 2 industrialisation had on the populations of villages.

Filming

I shot this film over a few days while visiting my family, the village is pretty cut off and the nearest town/shop is a 30 minute drive. It’s always a perspective enhancer coming and spending time in Miranovacka Kula and great to see my family too.
