About This Production

The Brave Adventures of a Little Shoemaker (Šegrt Hlapić, 2013) is a live-action children’s adventure written and directed by Silvije Petranović, based on Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić’s novel. Mile Biljanović plays Hlapić, Ena Lulić plays Gita and Goran Navojec plays Master Mrkonja.

Treated unfairly in the shoemaker’s workshop, Hlapić sets out into the world. Meeting Gita begins a journey of challenges, friendship and helping others.

Lekenik is one of the places that brought Hlapić and Gita’s screen world to life. After Fiddler on the Roof, the village welcomed another film crew and a story whose heroes audiences had known since childhood.

Running time: 102 minutes. Production: Maydi Film & Video. Cinematography: Mirko Pivčević. Editing: Andrija Zafranović. Music: Anita Andreis.
