Filip David (Serbian Cyrillic: Филип Давид; born 4 July 1940) is a Serbian writer and screenwriter, best known for penning essays, dramas, short stories and novels. In 1987, he was awarded the Andrić Prize for his short story collection Princ Vatre,[1] and in 2015 he won the NIN Award for best Serbian novel of the year 2014 for his novel Kuća sećanja i zaborava ("The House of Remembering and Forgetting").[2]
Biography
David was born in 1940 in Kragujevac to a Jewish family. Members of his family were some of the victims of the 1941 Kragujevac massacre committed by occupation forces during the World War II in Yugoslavia.[3] He graduated from both the Faculty of Philology of the University of Belgrade and the Academy of Theater, Film, Radio and Television of the Belgrade University of Arts.[4] He was a long-time editor of the drama program of the Radio Television of Belgrade.[5] In 1989, he was one of the founders of the "Independent Writers" society in Sarajevo, in then-SFR Yugoslavia. He was also the founder of the literary society "Belgrade Circle" in 1990. This society opposed the then-ruling government of Slobodan Milošević.[6] In 1992, David was fired from the Radio Television of Belgrade for organizing an independent trade union.[7]
The writer is signatory of the Declaration on the Common Language of the Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks and Montenegrins within the project Languages and Nationalisms.[8] The declaration is against political separation of four Serbo-Croatian standard variants that leads to a series of negative social, cultural and political phenomena in which linguistic expression is enforced as a criterion of ethno-national affiliation and as a means of political loyalty in successor states of Yugoslavia.[9]
