Aleksandar Petrović

Died in 1994

Aleksandar Petrović was born in Paris in 1929, to Serbian parents who had come to study there, and grew up in Belgrade. He entered the Prague film school in 1947 and had to return the following year for political reasons. A figure of the Black Wave, he saw two of his films put forward for the Oscar. Dismissed from the Belgrade Academy in the seventies for giving a good mark to a student film judged anticommunist, he had his passport taken away and afterwards filmed outside the country. He died in 1994.
