IVAN MIHALJEVIĆ
Ivan Mihaljević was born on December 8., 2000. in Zagreb. After elementary school, he finished a Zagreb-based School of Economics and simultaneously attended primary and secondary music school as a violin player. He started doing photography while he was just a boy and the hobby eventually evolved into a full-fledged passion for shooting various videos and short movies. His successful collaborations include, but are not limited to, filming concerts performed by Zagreb Soloists and shooting numerous theater plays and other events set up by the National University, Dubrava. Thanks to the latter, he started running film workshops that were part of the International Children's Festival in Šibenik at the age of 16. Apart from that, he filmed a substantial number of commercials and promo videos. Some of his early works, including Egyptian director Adel Said's short movie called „Donna“ which revolves around the emotional relationship between two women, received several awards in Egypt, India etc. One of Ivan's most recent works is the short film „Brundina“, based on a script by Deni Zgonjanin. Genre-wise, „Brundina“ could easily be characterized as a psychological thriller and a drama, an ideal opportunity for Ivan to showcase his attained knowledge and filming experience, as well as to visually tell the story in accordance with Zgonjanin's detailed and skillful directions. Ivan is currently preparing an independent photography exhibition which is due to open in January 2021.
