Andricgrad, a joint project by film director Emir Kusturica and the government of Republika Srpska which is said to have cost more than ten million euro, was built in the Bosnian town of Visegrad in honor of writer Ivo Andric. Kusturica is expected to use the mini-town in his planned movies ‘Pancho Villa’ and ‘The Bridge on the Drina’. The film-maker has previously built an idealized traditional Serbian village in Serbia near Mokra Gora, called Drvengrad. The opening is going ahead despite a continuing lawsuit over the land on which Andricgrad was built. Descendants of Pasan Hadzic, a former landowner in Visegrad, claim that the land belonged to them and not the municipality, which had illegally signed it over to Kusturica’s project.
