[citation needed] During his film studies, Dizdar wrote about director Miloš Forman, who was a fellow FAMU alumni banned by the state.

His friendship with Czech cinematographer Miroslav Ondricek and film critic Eva Zaoralova led to the publication of Dizdar’s book about Forman, Audition for a Director.

[5] Following Beautiful People, Dizdar wrote and directed a segment for the French feature film Les Européens (2006), discussing the social topic of refugees finding various ways to enter Europe.

When the landing-gear bay opens as the plane makes its descent, he tumbles out from a few thousand feet over Rome and falls on the car-roof of a middle-class religious woman who begins to believe that the refugee is a gift from God.

[citation needed] Dizdar’s next feature film, Chosen (2016), starred Harvey Keitel, Ana Ularu and Luke Mably and was a drama set during the Second World War and tells the story of a young lawyer who uses a ploy to fight the Nazis to save thousands of lives.
