The work of STEVAN LABUDOVIĆ
Stevan Labudović is one of the most prominent names in the roster of cameramen who spent their careers in Filmske Novosti.
Born in 1927 in Berane/Ivangrad, Montenegro, he would join the Yugoslav partisans as a photographer, spending time requisitioned to the Soviet Red Army as well as in Zemun, Split and Bari (Italy) until the liberation of Yugoslavia. He would join Filmske Novosti in 1948, and quickly earn a post as the newsreel's correspondent from Slovenia. His time in Slovenia coincided with the Trieste crisis, the first 'hot' crisis of the Cold War. From 1954, and President Tito's first trip outside of Europe, Labudovic would be assigned, along with Dragan Mitrovic, to film President Tito's 'Voyages of Peace'.
