Sinisa Kukic graduated from Southern Illinois University in 2005 with a BA in Cinema and Photography. His film, Breathe (2003), aired on FOX television, and his undergraduate thesis, Conduit Of Displacement (2004), won the Loren D. Cocking Animation Award.
Kukic graduated from San Francisco State University's MFA Cinema program and continues to make experimental and documentary films. Other interests include cinematography, hand processing, and new forms of camera subjectivity. Pump (2006), his most recent film, explores the hybridization of the bicycle and the cyclist. Pump has screened at over a dozen international film festivals, including Ann Arbor Film and Video Festival, and has aired on PBS. His preoccupation with the particulars of camera carriage and movement are rooted in his involvement in the local biking community and his work as a racecar mechanic.
Born in the former Yugoslavia, Kukic and his family moved to Chicago when he was eleven. He currently resides in Los Angeles and San Francisco where he freelances as a cinematographer.
