Goran Neric

Goran Nerić (born in Goražde, Yugoslavia) is an international (Canada, France, USA) filmmaker and cinematographer.

His documentary film "Zona Arizona" was awarded at the festival "Traces de vies" (Rencontres du film documentaire) at Clermont-Ferrand, France.

He graduated in Film Directing from the ESRA Paris - Côte d'Azur (Ecole Supérieure de Realisation Audiovisuelle) and holds a master's degree (M.A.) in Film Studies from the University of Montreal and a bachelor's degree in Economic Sciences.

In his youth, Nerić participated in international sport competitions. He is a former Yugoslavian handball player and Olympian.
