Branko Bauer

Branko Bauer was born in Dubrovnik in 1921 and grew up in Zagreb. In 1942, with his father, he hid a Jewish tenant of their house from the Ustasha police; the Yad Vashem institute recognised them both as Righteous Among the Nations in 1992. He joined the Jadran film studio in 1949 through documentary and in 1953 made a first feature film for children, whose visual manner and natural acting stood out from the production of the time. He made a dozen feature films and a television series, received the Vladimir Nazor prize in 1980 for his body of work, and died in Zagreb in 2002.
