Tatjana Božić

Croatian-born and Amsterdam-based, Tatjana Božić makes films wherever life takes her – Croatia, Russia, England, the Netherlands. With an MA in Television Journalism and a postgraduate degree from Moscow’s Higher School for Screenwriters and Directors, she learned her craft during Perestroika, taught by Artavazd Peleshian and Wim Wenders in the same smoky screening room where Tarkovsky once showed forbidden classics.

Trained in life coaching, EMDR, family constellations and drama therapy, she brings insight into the human soul to her film work. Her feature Happily Ever After (2014) premiered in Tiger competition at IFF Rotterdam, won a Gouden Kalf, and was theatrically released across the France, Netherlands, Croatia and Slovenia. Co-founder of LEWA productions in Zagreb and Spacedust in Amsterdam, she works as a director, scriptwriter, creative producer, and script and editing doctor.

Tatjana is a graduate of Documentary Campus Masterschool, EAVE and ExOriente.
