here. I want to stay here, I don't want to go somewhere else. I want to communicate, reach some standards, but I don't want to go away!

After working few years as reporter and editor in Radio Zagreb,
Kresimir Golik joined Jadran Film, newly formed production company, in
1947. After directing few documentaries he finally got chance to direct
a feature film. The Blue 9 (1950), being one of the first comedies in rigid
postwar years, brought attention of the public. The Girl and the Oak (1955), being stylish
dramma, brought appraisal of the critic. In the later years Golik
showed even greater genre versatility: he was directing documentaries
(_Od 3 do 22 (1966)_ won international awards), experimental movies and assisted
his younger colleagues in directing their debuts. Greatest successes of
Kresimir Golik came in 70s: _Tko pjeva zlo ne misli, nostalgic comedy
about Zagreb in the 30s, was biggest cinema hit in its time and later
got cult status. _"Gruntovcani" (1975) (mini)_, television series about rural Croatia, was
also immensely popular. In 80s he was less successful, but that didn't
take away his reputation of "Croatian Howard Hawks".- Cinematographer

Movie career of Branko Belan began in late 1940s, after he had received
doctor's degree in law. He joined Jadran Film, newly formed movie
production company in Zagreb, where he began directing documentaries.
After few years he finally got chance to direct feature film. _Koncert_
is now considered to be the masterpiece and one of the best movies ever
made in former Yugoslavia. However, in its time, that movie was too
modernistic for contemporary critics, guided by ruling Communist
idelogy. Although Belan made some minor works later, that marked the
end of his movie career. Instead of making movies he began teaching on
Dramma Academy and writing movie and television critics. Branko Belan
was also known as very respected science-fiction writer.- Director
