Boris Malagurski (Serbian Cyrillic: Борис Малагурски) (born August 11, 1988 in Subotica, SR Serbia, Yugoslavia) is a Serbian-Canadian film director, producer and screenwriter.[1][2][3][4]
Malagurski's film Kosovo: Can You Imagine? (2009) dealt with the topic of human rights of Serbs in Kosovo.[5][6] The Pečat Magazine described the film as "An objective, authentic journalistic approach to the issue, as well as brave work on the field, make this documentary an accomplishment envied by any author".[1] In December 2009, the film had its broadcast premiere on Russia Today, the first all-digital Russian TV network.[7][8]
His film The Weight of Chains (2010),[9][10] deals with Western involvement in the breakup of Yugoslavia.[2] The film is supported by the Global Research Institute[11] and tackles the question of why Yugoslavia really fell apart,[12] the answer of which, according to the author, is far from how the media present it.[13] Malagurski also examines the current economic situation in the former Yugoslav republics and offers a unique perspective on the major political and social issues facing the people living in that part of the world.[14]
In 2011, Serbian newspaper "Politika" described Malagurski as the "Serbian Michael Moore"[2], followed by the same description by Press.[15] E-novine published a scathing critique of Malagurski's 2010 film, describing it as a manipulation and propaganda.[16]
As of 2011 Malagurski is finishing a documentary film about Belgrade, in which he aims to capture the spirit of the Serbian capital.[17][18]
