Dalibor Matanić
Director
2016
Motivation
Kinoatelje awards the 2016 Darko Bratina Award to Croatian director Dalibor Matanić for an impressive and astonishingly diverse body of work that the director has created in the field of film in less than twenty years, establishing him in the context of Croatian cinema as one of the most unusual, distinctive, fundamentally different, and thus unique figures of a generation focused on the social "here and now." In him, the first true post-Yugoslav generation of directors found its ideal embodiment—one whose works are marked by the freedom from burden of the past (which he nevertheless constantly carries in his consciousness) and the freedom from burden of traditional categories of authorship and artistry. In his treatment of the current social moment, he does not get lost in the past but is always looking forward. His protagonists often represent vulnerable and minority groups in our society who are pushed to the margins: young people, women, homosexuals, workers. He draws attention to "new" social identities, issues of social stratification, and calls for the transcendence of these boundaries.
