This film, wrriten by Voja NanoviÄ, and based on the works of Bora StankoviÄ, is the first film in the Serbian language to be purchased by NETFLIX. The film will be available in Central and Eastern Europe, in Turkey as well, in the next two years.
“The contract we signed (This and That Productions and NETFLIX), thanks to our partners Videomite, for streaming the first domestic film in Serbian language on this popular platform, is a kind of recognition of Serbian film production, and it also proves that quality films have their audience everywhere, “said Snežana van Hauvelingen on behalf of This and That Productions, adding:” I am sure that in this way we have opened the door to other domestic films and series that seek their place and audience on platforms such as NETFLIX. ” Doing this project was a great responsibility, because we wanted to adapt for the screen the characters written by the famous Bora StankoviÄ more than a century ago, and shaped by the great Voja NanoviÄ into film heroes almost half a century ago. Having this in mind I consider this contract for streaming on NETFLIX not only as an opportunity to promote the film, but also a chance to promote our culture and thatās why I am extremely happy, “said Snežana on behalf of This and That production.
