The Age of Uskoks is docu-drama film on Uskoks of Senj, legendary corsairs and anti-Osman soldiers from 16. and 17. centuries.

reconstruct buildings and landscapes of the period. Hundreds of historically
accurate costumes have been made for the project, as well as huge scenographic
object, such as life-size Venetian war galley made in HRT studios. Superbly
produced, “The Age of Uskoks” is specific, mixed format of a documentary based
on scientific knowledge, and the art of film.
