Anakiev Dimitar
Amigo
In turbulent circumstances of Eastern Europe nowdays a man try to keep his own way and is ready to pay the price.
Dimitar Anakiev, an independent filmmaker, writer and poet, was born in Belgrade in 1960. He resided in Slovenia beginning in 1987 but shortly thereafter and without warning found himself among the victims of administrative ethnic cleansing ("Erased"). He purchased a small video camera and began his film career, in an attempt to make himself and other marginal Balkan people visible. The success of his films (including the Slovenian National Film Award) has made it possible for him to continue his filmmaking career as a writer, director and producer. In 2003 he founded a company Dimitar Anakiev Films (now Anakiev Production) which specializes in socially engaged films of the Balkans in the post-communist era.
