Abstract
Theater and film actress Mira Furlan, theater and film actor Rada Šerbedžija, and film director Rajko Grlić, educated at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, established themselves as artists throughout Yugoslavia during the 1970s and 1980s. At the beginning of the 1990s, during the breakup of Yugoslavia and the war in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, they left their homeland and immigrated to the United States, where Furlan and Šerbedžija gradually began to get roles in film and television projects, and Grlić taught film art. About the reasons for leaving the homeland and the emigrant experience, they published the books Love me more than everything in the world (Furlan), Untold Stories (Grlić) and Until the Last Breath and After the Rain (Šerbedžija). Following the conflict resolution theory, the article examines how the three of them perceived themselves, the people with whom they were in personal and professional relationships, the situations they found themselves in, and the threats they were exposed to. They perceived the mentioned four items from the point of view immanent neither to the environment they left, nor to the environment they moved in – from a ‘displaced point of view’.
