Igor Ivanov Izi, born in 1973 in Skopje, Macedonia, has made significant strides as a director and writer in the film industry. His career began in 1993 with television series, but it was his short films, particularly "Bubachki" (2004), that garnered international acclaim, competing at the prestigious Berlinale and winning the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival. Izi's feature debut, "Upside Down" (2007), showcased at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, earned him the Best Director award at Mostra De Valencia, solidifying his reputation as a visionary filmmaker. Collectors are particularly keen on Izi's work, with his 2018 film "Cobra" standing out as a must-have for home video enthusiasts. This title not only reflects his unique storytelling style but also encapsulates a moment in contemporary cinema that resonates with fans of international film. As Izi continues to evolve in his craft, his upcoming project, "The Sugar Kid," is highly anticipated, promising to add further depth to his already notable filmography.
