Emir Kusturica

Emir Kusturica
Emir Kusturica (born November 24, 1954 in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia) is a Serbian filmmaker and actor.

With an impressive string of internationally acclaimed features, Kusturica is seen as one of the most creative directors in cinema during the 1980s and '90s. As well as being one of the few directors to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes twice (for When Father Was Away on Business and Underground), he is also a recipient of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. On September 8, 2007, Kusturica has become a UNICEF National Ambassador for Serbia, alongside Ana Ivanović, Jelena Janković and Aleksandar Đorđević.
