Djordjije Lekovic (born May 23rd, 1978 in Belgrade) is a Serbian born
filmmaker, currently residing in New York City. Growing up in then
communist Yugoslavia, Djordjije's interest in philosophy and psychology
emerged early in his life. He channeled those interests through
undergraduate and graduate studies first in Rome and later in New York
City.
Lekovic graduated from the College of Staten Island in 2004 with high honors (Magna Cum Laude + Elliot Rubenstein Memorial Award for Academic excellence). He started working soon after receiving his BA, but still completed a good part of the Media Department's MA curriculum.
Over the past three years, Djordjije has worked in various fields. As an editor he helped top NY ad agencies win prestigious awards (Clios, the One Show and competition in Cannes). As a Director of Photography and Stedicam Operator he completed numerous short pieces, TV pilots, documentaries and five feature films. Most recently, he took the opportunity to direct and shoot a 35mm feature film with name actors. The film Polycarp, starring Charles Durning and Michael Pare premiered as the opening film of the 2007 Hoboken International Film Festival. Shortly after Universal picked it up for distribution in USA.
Djordjije is also the Managing Director and Founder of KinoKamera, a creative film company that draws individuals from various disciplines to solve problems and create fresh and original ideas. Djordjije has often lectured at the School of Visual Arts and has exhibited internationally, including at the New Moment Gallery (former Satchi&Satchi) in Belgrade, Serbia.
(December 2007) Currently he is producing two feature films and preparing to direct his dramatic feature in late 2008.
