Goran Nerić
Goran Nerić (born in Goražde, Yugoslavia) is an international Canadian, French, documentary film director and screenwriter.
His first documentary film “Zona Arizona” was awarded at the festival “Traces de vies” (Rencontres du film documentaire) at Clermont-Ferrand, France. For this film, he draws inspiration from culturally diverse sources of former Yugoslavia, his lost motherland, and tries to show that the common life between belligerents is still possible on this soil, destroyed by civil war tragedy.
In 2005, his film “Champion’s Zone” (La Zone des Champions) for which he was credited as the writer and directing consultant, was nominated by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television for a Gémeaux award in the Best Sports Program or Series category.
In his youth, Goran Nerić participated in international sport competitions. He is a former Yugoslavian handball player who competed in the 1980 Summer Olympics.
He graduated in Film Directing from the ESRA Côte d'Azur (Ecole Supérieure de Realisation Audiovisuelle) and holds a Master's degree (M.A.) in Film Studies from the University of Montreal and a Bachelor's degree in Economic Sciences from the University of Sarajevo.
