The dizdar's kinetics awakened and revealed our basic need for love while simultaneously pointing to what divides us: language barriers, misogypation, dogmatism, and, above all, a collective obtuseness and indifference toward one another.

Early life

Jasmin Dizdar was born and grew up in Zenica, Bosnia, where his gift for creative writing was discovered early on by a primary school teacher of literature. He submitted his short story "History Hour" to a regional competition and received his first prize for the best short story, thanks to her guidance and encouragement.

When Dizdar was 12, he began his love affair with movies, and he soon became a regular cinema goer. There were four theaters in Zenica, and Dizdar used an intricate device to get into them for free: he made facsimiles of movie tickets by searching for stubs in garbage cans and then collecting the remaining halves from patrons as they came out of theaters. Gluing torn bits together and re-using them as fake cinema tickets enabled him to see the same film multiple times for free, as well as several showings of Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and Once Upon a Time in the West. Despite being so tall for his age (he is now 6 foot 6), Dizdar was able to see Bernardo Bertolucci's film Last Tango in Paris, despite its 18 rating certificate.

During his time at secondary school, he appeared in the Bosnian theatre play Hanka, based on Isak Samokovlija's book, as well as being adapted for Yugoslav film director Slavko Vorkapi's 1955 film Hanka. In Zenica's Old National Theatre, the play premiered.

As a youth, Jasmin Dizdar founded, edited, and directed numerous short documentary, drama, and experimental films, and began to become interested in film theory, particularly Russian structuralist film theory. He was accepted into the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, Czech Republic, for his last Bosnian film Butterfly Dance (featuring an ensemble cast from Zenica's National Theatre).

Personal life

During the Second World War, Jasmin Dizdar, a young adolescent, learned that Nazis murdered his paternal grandparents. The original surname of a former Yugoslav surname changed from Dizdar to Dizdarevi (the majority of former Yugoslav surnames start with "i"). He took back his grandfather's original surname Dizdar after thirty years of being under surname Dizdarevi.

Jasmin Dizdar has lived in London, London, since 1989, and is a British citizen since 1993. He has a daughter who is also a filmmaker and visual artist.

Career

At the Prague film school FAMU, Jasmin Dizdar studied film editing. He became well-known for his daring satirical humour, often portraying ordinary people, Czech actors, and film makers who were not in favour of the communist regime. After Silence, the legendary Czech film producer Elmar Klos (Academy Award winner for the film The Shop on Main Street) was given the Grand Jury award by Dizdar's graduation film After Silence. This student film has been preserved as a national treasure in the Czech national film archive.

Jasmin Dizdar wrote about his fellow FAMU alumni in a double-Oscar-winning Czech-American film director Milo Forman during his film studies. This essay is regarded as a special case of critical film theory developed by a foreign-film scholar while studying in the totalitarian communist regime about an officially banned film producer who was often referred to as a "enemy of the state" during the time. Miroslav Ondricek's friendship with Czech filmmaker Eva Zaoralova resulted in the publication of Dizdar's book Forman, Audition for a Director. This book is regarded as a unique in-depth study of a legendary filmmaker. In a limited number of fifty thousand copies, the book was published.

After graduating from university with a Red Diploma (i.e. ), I.e. (Dizdar) was a recipient of the best awards in France for a brief period of time before settling in the United Kingdom, where he wrote several screenplays for BBC Television and a radio play for BBC Radio 4.

Beautiful People is Jasmin Dizdar's award-winning and critically acclaimed feature film. Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Culture, Media, and Sport paid a visit to Beautiful People, the film's world premiere, where the film received a ten-minute standing ovation. At the 1999 Cannes Film Festival, the film received an audience award "Gold Gryphon" at the Saint-Petersburg International Film Festival of Festivals, as well as several other international prizes. Jasmin Dizdar was the second Bosnian filmmaker (after Emir Kusturica) to win a major award at the Cannes Film Festival and the first and only Bosnian filmmaker born and raised in Zenica to receive such coveted international recognition.

Beautiful People's rights were sold in over 30 countries, making it an international sensation. Dizdar is reluctant to say whether the film is a parody or something else. Beautiful People embrace every emotion, which is why people from around the world have embraced it. After Beautiful People had been on display in London, New York, Paris, and Tokyo, Jasmin proclaimed, "Film directors like Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, Robert Altman's Cookies Fortune, and Pedro Almodóvar's Oscar-winning All About My Mother" shared with me during an interview with Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman's Oscar-winning All About My Mother, as a result of my teenage dream came true." I'd die a happy man if a car were to strike me right now.

Beautiful People, like Jasmin Dizdar's other films, is a satire. The satire by Jasmin Dizdar could be described as a seraphic-smile sardonicism that blends everyday and imaginative imagination with a touch of irony and amusing parody. "With an extraordinary ferocious and profound sense of moral, intelligence, and grace, he directs with an unprecedented exuberance and self-confidence, as well as a playful, improvised sense of formal possibility, according to New York Times film critic A. O. Scott." Jasmin Dizdar's camera hurtles through the scenes like a child in a toy store, grabbing every detail as if it were a rare, precious award while still acknowledging both the absurdity of the war and its indignable horror."

Jasmin Dizdar wrote and directed a segment for the French film Les Europeens (2006), based on a hot social issue of refugees, finding a multitude of innovative ways to enter Europe. The segment of Jasmin Dizdar is about an African refugee who tries to sneak himself into Europe by stowing away in a passenger plan that departs from North Africa's landing-gear bay. He drops from a few thousand feet over Rome and crashes on the car-roof of a middle-class religious woman who begins to believe that the asylum is a God-given gift.

Chosen (2016), Jasmin Dizdar's latest film film starring Harvey Keitel, Ana Ularu, and Luke Mably, is a moving tale of passion, courage, and perseverance against all odds. The film, set during the Second World War, tells the incredible tale of a young lawyer who used a clever tactic to defy the Nazis to save thousands of lives. In present-day New York, USA, Harvey Keitel plays the prosecutor.
