Goran Stanković

Goran grew up in Serbia where he received his BA in film directing, and gained experience working on major national and foreign productions. His two undergraduate student films, WHO GUARDS THE GUARDIANS and OLD MOUNTAIN, were selected for over 50 interna- tional festivals and won 17 awards. Both films were chosen to represent Serbia in the “Euro- pean Short Films Tour”, and the broadcasting rights were bought by Eurochannel. During his studies at the American Film Institute, he was awarded The Hollywood Foreign Press and The Richard Frank scholarships. He recently gained his MFA in film directing at the AFI with WAY IN RYE, his thesis film. His first feature documentary IN THE DARK about Serbian miners is currently in production and has been supported by several European Funds.
