2014 documentary on Blessed Alojzije Stepinac, focused on resistance, trial, exile, and enduring spiritual legacy.
Neukrotivi kardinal is a 2014 documentary directed by Mirela Cigić and Ivan Cigić. The film portrays the life of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac, Croatian cardinal and martyr, focusing on his courageous resistance against fascism, nazism and communism, his show trial, house arrest, and unwavering faith. Through powerful testimonies of people who knew him personally, the film reveals lesser-known facts from his life and legacy.
I served as editor (montaža), shaping the narrative rhythm, historical continuity and emotional flow of the documentary to honor the gravity of Stepinac's story and deliver a powerful, respectful cinematic experience.
Color approach: Respectful, cinematic grading that balances historical archival footage with warm, dignified tones to convey the strength, humanity and spiritual depth of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac.
