Directed by Darko Lungulov
    Here and There is a film about Robert, a jaded middle-aged New Yorker, who goes to Serbia to make quick cash by marrying someone for U.S. immigration papers, but the plan goes awry when the promised cash never arrives. At the same time, a young Serbian immigrant, Branko, struggles to bring his girlfriend from Serbia to the U.S.

“Lungulov’s touch is delicate, even piercingly so, and his direction of actors, especially Thornton and Karanovic, is beautifully nuanced.” –Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

“Serbian filmmaker Darko Lungulov has lived in both urban locales and, without romanticizing, beautifully captures their textures, intercutting the footage so gracefully that the cities almost meld into one.”  - Howard Feinstein, Ten Films to Watch at the ’09 Tribeca Fest (Screen International writer)  Indie Wire

“Serbian helmer Darko Lungulov tracks two strangers in two strange lands in his first fiction outing, “Here and There,” contrasting the adventures of an enterprising young Belgrade native in New York with the discoveries of an aging down-and-out New Yorker in Belgrade. Laid-back character study accrues small epiphanies with patient care, its mordant Eastern European humor tempered by a gentler sense of postwar absurdity, with vet actress Mirjana Karanovic supplying a serene wryness. Slight, extremely likable pic, a sly variant on recent immigrant movies like “The Visitor” and “Goodbye Solo,” has an outside chance at arthouse play before cable beckons.” –Ronnie Scheib, Variety
