Dušan Makavejev

Dušan Makavejev (b. 1932, Belgrade) graduated in psychology from the University of Belgrade and subsequently studied at Belgrade's Academy of Theater, Film, Radio, and Television. He started out as an amateur and came to international notice thanks to provocative pictures whose documentary and symbolic style (i.e. employing collage) drew on the avant-garde methods of the French New Wave. His work tends to traffic in shock value, employing invective and caustic irony while breaking ethical and sexual taboos. Beginning in the mid-1970s he worked outside his own country (Sweden, Australia, Germany, USA, France).
