Reference excerpt

Goran Dević (born 1971) is a Croatian film director, screenwriter and university professor.

Biography Born in Sisak Dević was formally educated at the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (archaeology department) and the Academy of Dramatic Art (film directing department), where he graduated in 2008, and is teaching since 20122 at the Department of Film and TV Directing. Since the early 2000s Dević directed a number of short subjects and short documentaries, including award-winning: On the Water (2018), The Steel Mill Café (2017), 65+ (2016), Two Furnaces for Udarnik Josip Trojko (2012), Don Juan: Excuse Me, Miss (2010), The Flood (2010), Happy Land (2009), Three (2008), I Have Nothing Nice to Say to You (2005), Imported Crows (2004) and others. Imported Crows was awarded at Motovun Film Festival, Sarajevo Film Festival and Croatian Film Days, shown at 10 international festivals. His feature film directorial debut (which he co-directed and co-written with Zvonimir Jurić) was a critically acclaimed 2009 psychological war drama titled The Blacks. The film deals with a fictional Croatian Army unit who refuse to lay down their arms following the end of the Croatian War of Independence. The film won Jurić and Dević 4 national awards including: the Golden Arena for Best Director at the 2009 Pula Film Festival, the Croatian national film awards, City of Zagreb Award, as well as 8 international awards including: Grand prix on Ljubljana International Film Festival 2009, Grand Prix at Auteur Film Festival Serbia 2009, FIPRESCI Award and Special Award for Directing at FilmFestival Cottbus 2009, Crossing Europe Filmfestival Linz and others. It went on to be selected as Croatia's submission to the 83rd Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but it failed to make the final shortlist. Retrospectives of his documentaries were screened at ARSENAL CINEMA, Institute for Film (Berlin) and Crossing Europe Filmfestival (Linz), BELDOX (Belgrade), ZAGREBDOX (Croatia) i MAXII, the National Museum of 21st Century Art (Rome). In 2017, Dević has signed the Declaration on the Common Language of the Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks and Montenegrins.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Goran Dević

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Goran Dević claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Goran Dević before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Goran Dević ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Goran Dević

In research: Goran Dević appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Goran Dević in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Goran Dević is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1971 births, Croatian film directors, Croatian screenwriters, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Goran Dević outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
