Slobodan Šijan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Slobodan Šijan (born November 16, 1946, Belgrade, Yugoslavia) is a Serbian film director. After graduating film direction and directing a handful of TV movies in the late 1970s, he caught a big break with his first full-length feature Ko to tamo peva in 1980. The enormous success of that film written by Dušan Kovačević led to the duo collaborating on another project - 1982's Maratonci trče počasni krug, which also achieved considerable critical and commercial success.
