Shot on 16mm in one of the most remote regions of Tara Mountain, 1,050 meters above sea level, Balanar was a two-year odyssey marked by multiple production halts. Driven by an insanely devoted crew—composed of some of the finest film professionals working in Serbia today—the film also features a haunting score by legendary German composer Hermann Kopp (Nekromantik). Inspired by Żuławski, Carpenter, and Milius, Balanar is a love letter to American midnight cinema and Balkan mythology. It blends heavy metal, pop culture, and folk tradition—but at its core, it is an existential horror.
