DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT: The screenplay was written according to the book by the same title by the popular children's writer Ante Gardas, whose heroes Miron, Melita and others many have grown up with. "The Ghost in the Swamp" is part of the required reading for fourth graders in Croatia. In addition to being an exciting children's story, "The Ghost in the Swamp" educates and serves as a good example for children. Hence, it has been chosen to mark the comeback of feature-length films for children, which have not been made by the Croatian film industry for the last twenty years.

(in Croatian) DUH U MOČVARI dugometražni igrani film za djecu Interfilm i HRT, 2006., boja, 16:9, 35 mm, stereo Trajanje 90 minuta www.duhumocvari.com Brat i sestra, Miron i Melita, odlaze na zimovanje prijatelju Zoltanu (Liptusu) u Kopačevo. U tijeku je velika akcija lokalnog stanovništva i lovačkog društva kojom pomažu divljim životinjama iz rezervata da prežive zimu. Po dolasku, iste noći, dječak Halasz nađen je promrzao na obali gdje bunca da ga je napao bijeli duh na jednom od otoka u močvari. Otada zanijemi. Baba Etelka otkrije tajnu kako je duh viđen još davno i kako ne može s otoka pa se sveti svakome tko stupi na njega. U mjesto se uvuče strah. Lovci, na čelu s Vučevićem, Kovačevićem i Levayjem, pokrenu istragu. Ali ni oni ni liječnici ne mogu pomoći Halaszu. Zato Miron, Liptus i Melita odluče naći duha i ponuditi mu da ga čamcem prebace na obalu u zamjenu da ozdravi njihovog prijatelja. No, duh zapuca i rani lovca Levayja čime dokaže da je mnogo opasniji nego što se mislilo. Radnja filma se odvija u jedinstvenom zimskom pejzažu Kopačkog Rita. Povrh krovova baranjskih kućica koje krase rodina gnijezda na dimnjacima, unikatnog duha ovdašnjih ljudi, zvuka tambure i cimbala, te starih lovaca, tih vrijednih čuvara prirodnog blaga, djeca doživljavaju nezaboravnu pustolovinu. Upoznaju fenomene autohtone flore i faune kao i važnost brige za okoliš i životinje koje u njemu žive. Scenarij je rađen prema istoimenoj knjizi omiljenog dječjeg pisca Ante Gardaša uz čije su junake Mirona, Melite i ostalih odrastali mnogi naraštaji. Stoga je "Duh u močvari" i uvršten u lektiru četvrtog razreda osnovne škole. Djelo je to koje osim uzbudljive dječje priče educira i služi kao primjer. Kao takvo, odabrano je da obilježi veliki povratak cjelovečernjeg dječjeg filma koji u hrvatskoj kinematografiji nije snimljen dvadeset godina. glume: Marko Pavlov, Ena Ikica, Robert Váss, Ivo Gregurević, Dejan Aćimović, Mladen Vulić, Vlatko Dulić, Luka Buljan, Buga Marija Šimić, Radoslav Spitzmuller, Radoslava Mrkšić, Nandor Szilagyi, Nada Gaćešić Livaković, Kornelija Kočiš, Ana Vilenica, Predrag Vušović redatelj: Branko Ištvančić www.istvancic.com scenaristi: prema romanu "Duh u močvari" Ante Gardaša Anto Gardaš, Edi Mužina, Silvio Mirošničenko direktor fotografije: Silvio Jesenković, h.f.s. glazbu skladao i orkestrirao: Dalibor Grubačević www.daliborgrubacevic.com montažer: Goran Guberović producent: Ivan Maloča produkcija: Interfilm www.interfilm.hru koprodukciji s HRT-om Kontakt adresa: INTERFILM, Nova Ves 45/2, 10000 Zagreb E-mail: interfilm@interfilm.hr Telefon: +38514667290 Fax: +38514667022
