Silvestar Kolbas
Croatian cinematographer who had his directorial debut in 2003, with his acclaimed autobiographical film ''All about Eva''. In recent years he has been making feature-length documentaries, mostly for Factum.
All About Eva
The film follows the director and his wife in their numerous attempts of artificial insemination. ''All about Eva'' is a film that wins hearts with its bravery and makes audience laugh, applaud and shed a tear or two.
Shot over several years, the film follows a couple (the director and his wife) in their numerous attempts and personal dilemmas during the process of artificial insemination. The film that deeply penetrates the innermost parts of human life wins hearts and leaves audience breathless with its bravery. Many strictly cinematic criteria lose their relevance when we hear the cry of the long-awaited, newly-born Eva. To quote critics: All about Eva is a documentary film that makes audience laugh, applaud and shed a tear or two.
