Dan Mirvish

It's a jam-packed show thanks to our special guests IGOR DRLJACA who is on hand talking about his latest film THE WHITE FORTRESS, while DAN MIRVISH is back, this time talking the terrific dark comedic thriller 18 ½.First up, take a listen to writer/director IGOR DRJLACA talking THE WHITE FORTRESS. The 2022 Oscar submission from Bosnia and Herzegovina, THE WHITE FORTRESS is a coming-of-age film set in a present day world with a war-torn history, political corruption, and no sense of hope for the young people burdened by the past. In spite of the obstacles of life, sweet romance develops for Faruk and Mina. But can moments of escape and fancy lift them beyond the White Fortress of life? Boasting beauteous cinematography and haunting piano scoring that capture both the visual and emotional history, this is a film not to be missed. An interesting conversation with Igor as he goes into detail about the history and politics of the country and the people and how that shaped this story and this film.And then writer/director DAN MIRVISH returns to #BTLRadioShow, this time talking about his new film, 18 1/2 – a dark comedic thriller about those legendary missing 18 1/2 minutes of tape, Richard Nixon, and Watergate. Together with co-writer Daniel Moya, the pair craft a fanciful "what if" storytelling leap giving us a tale where a copy of the erased 18 1/2 minutes does exist and that on top of that, the recording features Nixon and Alexander Haig talking about the tape and other things, madness and mayhem, hippies and swingers, while some surprising revelations take flight. As usual with Dan, it's no holds barred when it comes to talking filmmaking and we dive into the perfection of production design, costume design, and classic vintage lensing, as well as discussing terrific casting, performances, and voice work. But as much fun as 18 1/2 is, the parallels with politics today, sadly, give pause for thought about the current state of affairs. As our regular listeners know from Dan's prior appearances on the show, a conversation with him is not to be missed!http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Igor Drljaca on Punishment Park

The director, writer and producer of The White Fortress, a new feature length drama film, Igor Drljaca talks to Joseph Planta about the film and more, now playing at the Vancouver International Film Festival, streaming and in-person 01-11 October 2021. Text of introduction by Joseph Planta: I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.  A film that’s playing at this year’s Vancouver International Film Festival, which incidentally begins today, Friday, 01 October 2021 (and runs until 11 October 2021), is The White Fortress (starring Pavle Čemerikić and Sumeja Dardagan). It’s written, directed and produced by Igor Drljaca, who joins me now. In the film, Faruk, an orphaned young man who lives with his grandmother, lives in a suburb of Sarajevo, foraging for scrap metal. He also dabbles in petty crime, trying to make some sort of life for himself. He meets Mona, a teen, from an affluent family. It’s a coming-of-age story, set amidst the changing Bosnia, a city that has sleek, paved highways and manicured show homes, yet has decrepit buildings covered in spray paint, remnants of the Cold War era. The class differences are stark and as these two fall in love and try to find escape, we’re given glimpses of life in a place that Igor grew up in but has returned to for the making of this film. I’ll ask him about what he wanted to show the viewer on the screen, as well this story, these actors, and more. The film is available through VIFF Connect between now and the 11th, and there’ll be two screenings next Saturday, October 9th at 9pm at the Vancity Theatre, and Monday, 11 October 2021 at 3.30pm at the Hollywood Theatre. Visit www.viff.org for tickets and information. With the filmmaker, Albert Shin, Igor Drljaca runs the production company Timelapse Pictures, and he’s an assistant professor in the Department of Theatre and Film at the University of British Columbia. The White Fortress had its world premiere at Berlinale, and got good notices. It is a co-production between Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Visit www.igordrljaca.com for more. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Igor Drljaca; Mr. Drljaca, good morning.The post Igor Drljaca first appeared on thecommentary.ca.
