During my residence in Vienna I plan to continue my research on immigration of people from former Yugoslavia, which is a recurring subject in my work and a starting point of my new screenplay. The emphasize of my research lies on the emotional and intimate consequences of moving away, moving from and moving to a place, as well as the process of getting settled and re-socialized in a new context. During my research, I will explore the imprint that ExYu-immigrants left on the city of Vienna and vice versa.
