Hajrudin Krvavac

Who is Hajrudin Krvavac?

Hajrudin "Šiba" Krvavac was a Yugoslav and Bosnian film director most notable for his Partisan film directorial's.

His gift for precise storytelling was already visible in his early documentaries and will be a staple of his feature films later on. Starting with his directorial debut, the segment Otac of the anthology film Vrtlog, all his feature films are action films set in World War II. Their storytelling owes a lot to comic books and American action films, especially westerns, with an imaginative combination of action and emotions, personal drama and epic tragedy, idealised heroism and psychological trials, sometimes with a dose of humor. Because of the style of his films, Krvavac was sometimes compared to Howard Hawks.
