The Image of Danube, as a river that crossed and continues to cross the history and civilization, the destinies of countries and big personalities, persists in all forms of art, including in cinema. Even in the first movies in Balkan cinema we find Danubian themes. For example, the first Serbian film “The life and acts of the immortal leader Karadjordje” (1911), done by the filmmaker Ilija Stanoević-Cica, includes the action of a great episode on the Danube island Ada-Kaleh. With this island – the lost paradise (being immersed in the 60s) – there are related several films of the Balkan cinema. We focus our investigations, in particular, to the image of this island, its destiny and the Danube’s, and other Danubian themes, reflected in a series of drama and non-fiction, such as The Golden Man (1919, director Aleksander Korda), the French film Ahmed Abdul – The Red Sultan (1928), Tudor (1962, director Lucian Bratu), The Pilot on the Danube (1974, director Miklos Markos), Stories from Ada-Kaleh (2008, director Isnet Arasan) and other. Fiction: The Danube from the Black Forest to the Black Sea (1929), The King Michael I at the Severin Tower (1929), Iron Gates (1964), Where the Danube meets the Carpathians (1965), Last spring on Ada Kaleh (1968) and others. Films from different times created by filmmakers of different nationalities and film schools also contain glimpses of the tumultuous history of many people whose destiny is linked to Danube. We will detect and analyze the ways of approaching these issues addressed in terms of cinematic language through the axiological point of view.
