    BELGRADE: Dragan Marinković’s fifth feature Leeches / Pijavice will have its national premiere in the Serbian film programme of FEST 2019, the most popular film festival in Serbia. The film is a Serbian/Croatian/Macedonian coproduction.

A close encounter with the state security apparatus plunges him into a life marked by paranoia and search for truth. The script was penned by Dragan Marinković, Dušan Spasojević, David Albahari based on David Albahari’s novel.

    The key roles are played by Nikola Đuričko, Lazar Ristovski, Iva Mihalić, Marijana Janković, Toni Mihajlovski, Tihomir Stanić and Petar Božović.

    The film was produced by Serbia’s Zillion Film and Marebo, in coproduction with Ivan Maloča through Croatia’s InterFilm Produkcija and Vladimir Blaževski through Macedonia’s Pank Film, with the support of Film Center Serbia.
