Alek Conic

Alek Conic isn’t just another name rolling in the credits—he’s the guy actually shaping the Serbian film scene from the ground up. Founder of Clockwork Film, which, by the way, rakes in more awards than most people have hot dinners. That’s not exaggeration. His company is basically the go-to for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and even the Bollywood big leagues whenever they want to shoot something wild across Southeast Europe. The man’s got a knack for pulling off those tricky, multi-country productions that would make other producers sweat bullets. He’s not just collecting trophies for his mantle either—though, with five Indian National Film Awards and films that have made it to Cannes and Venice, he probably needs a bigger shelf. Alek’s worked side by side with Academy Award winners, so he’s clearly in the pro league. His filmography is stacked: Citadel, Baaghi 3, Uri: The Surgical Strike, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, Soorma, Open 24 Hours, These Days, Dragn… and honestly, that’s just the highlight reel. But he’s not all about the glitz and glamour. Alek’s been grinding behind the scenes too, pushing for changes in the Serbian film industry itself. He’s served as Vice President of the Serbian Film Producers Association, then jumped onto the board at Film Center Serbia. Policy, international partnerships, industry development—he’s there, sleeves rolled up. Bottom line, if you’re talking about the future of film in this part of the world, you can’t skip Alek Conic.
