The Montenegrin director and screenwriter Ivan Marnovic studied at Prague's FAMU film school, shooting several shorts there that were screened at the Famufest student showcase.
In 2012, he worked with the Czech-Macedonian director Ivo Trajkov on the screenplay of the experimental thriller Pariser Platz – Berlin. Last year saw the release of his first feature, The Black Pin, about a priest's encounters with his parishioners in a small village. It is a typical Balkan tragicomedy not lacking in either black humor or satire. Marinovic's debut is only the fourth film that Montenegro has ever submitted to the Oscars.
