Gospodar filtera – Herr der Staubfilter filmska adaptacija književnog djela kao studentski projekt
Lord of the Filters – Herr Der Staubfilter Adaptation as a Student Project

Summary/Abstract: What started as a small project of making a short play with the aim to promote learning and teaching German language in the Bosnian education system ended up as a quite successful short film adaptation project implemented by a group of 14 students of the German Department at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Zenica. The topic of the film is water, air and soil pollution in Zenica, one of the most polluted cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This ecological topic is told by the students who wrote the script for a short film in duration of 23 minutes as their original adaptation of the famous movie “Lord of the Rings”. The students also acted in the film and recorded it in German with Bosnian and Croatian subtitle, and later on also with the English subtitle. Throughout different project phases the students demonstrated creative work and gathered new and empowering experiences. The film was initially presented to the secondary school pupils and university students and it was very well received. Afterwards the film was also presented to the wider public as a part of a local film event – German Film Week in Zenica. The aim of this paper is not only to present a student film project in its making, but also to demonstrate how pedagogy of adaptation works in practice.
