Praslovan (2024)

The feature-length documentary film Praslovan, directed by Slobodan Maksimovic, tells the story of Zoran Predin’s youth in the working-class Maribor, the immense fame and popularity he achieved in Yugoslavia with the band Lacni Franz, and his distinguished solo career with numerous hits that have become classics of our popular music. His most famous songs in the film reflect significant social changes of the time, as well as personal milestones from his life. This intimate portrait not only shows the good times-the camera does not look away even when it gets dark but continues to observe how all this affects his friends and family. The film also features important musical and pop culture personalities of the former Yugoslavia, including Dorde Balasevic, Branko Duric, and Gabi Novak.
