Biography
Goran Paskaljević was born in Belgrade in 1947. Between 1967 and 1971 he studied at the well-known Prague school of cinema (FAMU). His first short, film Mister Hrstka (1969), considered “offensive to the socialist system and harmful to the social order”, was banned by the Czechoslovakian regime. The film, however, was viewed by Miloš Forman, Jiří Menzel and Veřa Chytilová, and Goran Paskaljević found himself accepted overnight into the ranks of the New Wave directors. From 1971 to the present, he has made 30 documentaries and 15 feature films, many of which have been awarded and acclaimed at the most prestigious international film festivals. The rise of nationalism in Yugoslavia forced him to leave his country in 1992 and in 1994 he settled in Paris. In 1998 he returned to make The Powder Keg, but his constant criticism of Milošević’s regime met with violent, menacing attacks in the official press. He decided once more to leave his native land in search of a country where he could make his film, How Harry Became a Tree. He returned to Belgrade upon the collapse of the Milošević regime to make his Midwinter Night’s Dream(2004) and The Optimists (2006). In 2001, International Film Guide (Variety’s) named him one of the top five directors of the year. In January 2008, New York’sMuseum of Modern Art presented a full retrospective of his work. In February 2008 he was awarded the Order of Arts and Literature by the French government.

Beach Guard in Wintertime / Goran Paskaljević |  Dragan is a young man with no prospects. His parents’ marriage is on the rocks and his only qualification is from the School of Fire Prevention. But he is an optimist. He marries his girlfriend and supports her via a series of dead-end jobs, which culminates in his appointment as Beach Guard at a holiday resort which is shut for the winter. Here, young love’s dream meets its ultimate test and Dragan realizes that his parents too once aspired to something more than the life they finally settled for, and that easy solutions, even if they exist, offer little more than a lonely leap into the unknown.
