Fragmentarni i biografski filmovi Zuka Garagića, istovremeno ekspresionistički i arhivski, istražuju ono što naziva arhivama zamišljenog. Postavljanjem mrtvih činjenica u sadašnjost, njegova djela prenose prošlost iz udaljenog objekta u prijeteće prisustvo. Diplomirao je summa cum laude na Univerzitetu u Njujorku i magistrirao na Kolumbiji, gdje je predavao film. Trenutno radi na dokumentarnom filmu o evropskim imigrantima koji su prešli Atlantik da bi se borili u Američkom građanskom ratu, vođeni obećanjem državljanstva. Takođe, u postprodukciji je svog drugog hibridnog kratkog filma o češko-italijanskom novinaru i nerazjašnjenim smrtnim slučajevima Roma u Češkoj krajem 90-ih.

Zuko Garagić’s fragmentary and biographical cinema – at once expressionist and archival – pursues what he calls archives of the imagined. Through setting dead facts in the present, his works transport the past from a distant object to a haunting presence. He graduated summa cum laude from NYU and earned his MFA from Columbia University, where he also taught film as a Teaching Fellow and Adjunct Professor. He is currently working on a documentary about European immigrants who crossed the Atlantic to fight in the American Civil War, lured by the promise of citizenship. He is also in post-production on his second creative hybrid short, centred on a Czech-Italian journalist and the unresolved deaths of Roma individuals in the Czech Republic in the late 90s.
