Interesting facts

Technotise: Edit & I is a 2009 Serbian animated feature film. Written and directed by comic artist Aleksa Gajić, it is a sequel of his Technotise graphic novel. The soundtrack music was composed by Boris Furduj and Slobodan Štrumberger, as well as the film trailer. The film is widely considered as the first animated featured film that was exclusively made in Serbia.

Production

The idea came when Aleksa Gajić, film director and comic book author, did an illustration for a story the buildings in Knez Mihajlova Street for Politikin Zabavnik. Then his illustration appeared on the front page of the magazine.

In 1996, Aleksa Gajić worked on his graphic novel Technotise for his thesis at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade, In 1998 he would revise his original comic and it would be published in 2001.

Unlike in the comic book, the film insists that the characters are more lively, because they are anti-heroes who change depending on the situation that forces them to do things they wouldn't normally do.

The director stated:"That mostly refers to the female protagonist of Edit. [...] I insisted in the use of slang and mild social aesthetics in the dialogue, which makes this film seem like a classic local film. And that made it even more of a turning point in the story, when it stops being a tragic comedy and becomes fiction. Gajić was also criticized for the heavy use of street slang in the film."

Drawing, shooting and post-production took three years, and the budget, with the sponsorship and support of the Serbian Ministry of Culture and the Culture Secretariat of the City of Belgrade, reached 75 million Serbian dinars. The sponsor of the film was also Erste Bank, which bank signs can be seen in multiple shots throughout the film.
