Branko Bauer - Early Life

Early Life

Bauer became interested in cinema as a school boy, influenced by a Jewish girl, a piano player, who was hiding from UstaĊĦe in his parents' home. In 1949, he began working in the Zagreb-based Jadran Film studio as a documentary filmmaker. His feature debut was the 1953 children's adventure film The Blue Seagull (Sinji galeb) which distinguished his work from then-native Yugoslav productions through vivid visual style and natural acting.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    the cluttered eyes
    of early mysterious night.
    Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)

    I had this advantage, at least, in my mode of life, over those who were obliged to look abroad for amusement, to society and the theatre, that my life itself was become my amusement and never ceased to be novel. It was a drama of many scenes and without an end.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
