Zlatko Topcic was born on April 30th, 1955 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia. He is a famous multiple award-winning Bosnian author and screenwriter who is renowned for his screenplays. He wrote the screenplays for the internationally acclaimed feature films Remake and The Abandoned and for four documentary films: I Respond To You, God, Blood And Musk, The Best Years Ever and Miracle in Bosnia (1995, directed by Dino Mustafic). He wrote the screenplays for such feature films as Remake (2003, directed by Dino Mustafic), which is the first post-war Bosnian feature film and The Abandoned (2010, directed by Adis Bakrac), winning awards at many most prestigious international film festivals around the world. They had an enormous financial success in their home country, but also worldwide. He won first prize at an anonymous competition for original screenplay of Association of Filmmakers of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the scenario Remake (1999). Also, the script for the film Remake was awarded at the competition of the Ministry of Culture and Sport (1999). His screenplay for the film The Abandoned (working title: Bare Skin) was a winner (91 entries from all over the region) at the ex-YU competition of the first edition of CineLink, held as part of the 9th Sarajevo Film Festival (2003). He lives in Sarajevo with wife Amela and son Kerim.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
