In search of cult hero Hari Džekson, a film director of Westerns from former Yugoslavia before the war, artist and photographer Dragana Jurišić retraces his mythical story, and decides to reenact one of his films using the local population as actors from both sides of the ethnic divide. Returning to the home which she fled, she follows a ghost through a country that has long since disappeared.
Dragana Jurišić is a very well established photographic artist, writer and a filmmaker born in Croatia and now living in Ireland. She was cinematographer and researcher on the feature documentary “Get the Picture” (dir. Cathy Pearson, 2013) about the remarkable life of John G. Morris, one of the most influential photo editors of the 20th century. She co-directed a film “Home | Ireland” (2020), a 26 minute short film exploring the idea of home with asylum seekers in Direct Provision, commissioned by National Gallery Ireland. ‘The Last Balkan Cowboy’ is her feature directorial debut.
