Untold Truths
Investigating history. Preserving memory. Creating films that matter.
Stari Lav Films is an independent production company founded by historian and filmmaker Vera Zoričić. Through meticulous research, archival discovery, and powerful storytelling, we create films that uncover overlooked stories, preserve collective memory, and inspire meaningful conversations across generations.
Where History
Meets Filmmaking
History is the stories we remember, the stories we forget and the truth waiting to be uncovered.
Stari Lav Films produces independent films that explore history, memory, identity, and social change. Working between Canada and Croatia, our films combine rigorous historical research with compelling storytelling to preserve voices that might otherwise be lost. Every project is grounded in evidence, shaped by lived experience, and created with a commitment to historical integrity.
