Zoran Dragelj is an award-winning filmmaker, photographer, producer/director based in Vancouver.
He describes himself as an auteur filmmaker, trying to formulate a delicate balance between appearances of things versus the hidden emotional reality in everyday life.
In recent short films and videos, he shows a panoramic view of contemporary experimental creations where the subject of physical motion and movement is tackled. He also tries to demonstrate how experimental films and videos can include some kind of storytelling.
In our chat, we spoke about 'flaneurship' and discovering new things in places you know well; about Vancouver, its history and surroundings; about his films, a new documentary with a self-taught Costa Rican artist, and an upcoming collaboration in the city.
But most importantly we looked at how Zoran's sense of place, whether local or global, influence the still and moving images he creates.
