Boris Malagurski (Serbian Cyrillic: Борис Малагурски) (born August 11, 1988 in Subotica, SR Serbia, Yugoslavia) is a Serbian-Canadian film director, producer and screenwriter.[1][2] He is the owner of the Malagurski Cinema production company, based in Vancouver, Canada.

Life and work

Born to Prof. Dr. Sc. Branislav Malagurski and Slavica Malagurski, Boris grew up in the Northern Serbian town of Subotica. In 2005 he emigrated to Canada and made a documentary film about his move from Serbia called The Canada Project. The film was shown on Serbian National Television, as a part of Mira Adanja-Polak's TV show.[3]

Kosovo: Can You Imagine?

Malagurski's documentary film Kosovo: Can You Imagine? (2009) dealt with the topic of human rights of Serbs in the disputed province of Kosovo.[4][5] The Pečat Magazine described the film as "An objective, authentic journalistic approach to the issue, as well as brave work on the field, make this documentary an accomplishment envied by any author".[1] The film features several prominent experts regarding the subject of the Balkans, such as Ret. Maj. Gen. Lewis MacKenzie, Fmr. Amb. James Byron Bissett and Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, who help analyze the state in which the disputed province finds itself since declaring secession from Serbia. In realizing this film project, Malagurski received help from Canadian author and journalist Scott Taylor and Princess Linda, from the House of Karađorđević, as well as UNMIK official John Hawthorne and Irish diplomat Mary Walsh, to which the film is dedicated.[6] In December 2009, the documentary had its broadcast premiere on Russia Today, the first all-digital Russian TV network.[7][8]

The Weight of Chains

His film The Weight of Chains (2010)[9] deals with Western involvement in the breakup of Yugoslavia.[2] The film is supported by the Global Research Institute[10] and tackles the question of why Yugoslavia really fell apart,[11] the answer of which, according to the author, is far from how the media present it.[12] Malagurski also examines the current economic situation in the former Yugoslav republics and offers a unique perspective on the major political and social issues facing the people living in that part of the world.[13] In October 2011, the film was broadcasted on RTV BN,[14] and on RTRS in January 2012.[15] The Croatian media portal Javno.hr described "The Weight of Chains" as a "controversial film" and that it describes "the causes and circumstances that lead to the breakup of Yugoslavia and the wars in that region".[16] As of 2012, the film is distributed worldwide by Journeyman Pictures.[17]

Belgrade

As of 2011 Malagurski is finishing a documentary film about Belgrade, in which he aims to capture the spirit of the Serbian capital. When completed, the film will be the first documentary about Belgrade since the 1980s, when the city was hoping to host the 1992 Summer Olympics. The author claims that Belgrade boasts a unique quality and energy, in spite of the fact that it was destroyed and rebuilt over 40 times in its history and that the greatest attraction of the city are the citizens themselves. The documentary will feature Boris Malagurski on-screen and will be in English.[18][19]

Media and lectures

The Serbian newspaper "Politika", the oldest daily in the Balkans, described Malagurski as the "Serbian Michael Moore",[2] followed by the same description by Press[20] and many other media outlets in the region.

Malagurski regularly gives keynote speeches about his film making tactics and current social, political and economic issues in the Balkans. Recently, he spoke several times at the Faculty of Law[21][22] and the Faculty of Political Sciences of the University of Belgrade,[23] at the Novi Sad Law School and the University of Novi Sad Medical School and Faculty of Philosophy,[24] as well as the Management Faculty in Sremski Karlovci[25] and the Faculty for Media and Communications at the Singidunum University in Belgrade.[26]

Activism

When Kosovo declared independence in 2008, Malagurski spoke at a protest which drew a crowd of hundreds.[27] In 2009 he was named among the Top 30 Under 30 Serbian Young Entrepreneurs at the International Diaspora Youth Leadership Conference, chaired by Tijana Arnautović, while in 2011, Malagurski was a keynote speaker at the annual Conference.[28][29] Occasionally, Malagurski writes articles for the political magazine New Serbian political thought[30][31][32] and produces video reports for the Centre for Research on Globalization.[33]

In October 2011, Malagurski showed his film "The Weight of Chains" at the Jarinje barricades on the Kosovo-Serbia border,[34] which the he claims was a show of support for the Serbs' cause in fighting for their rights in the disputed province.[35]
