Director Petar Trinajstić wrote the following about this short documentary film: "One hundred years ago, Academician Branko Fučić was born. He was a man of immense curiosity, a versatile individual, an erudite scholar, encyclopedist, lexicographer, and researcher, a scientist, a Christian, an honorary doctor of theology, a member of the Academy, and a recipient of both the Herder Prize and the Science Popularization Award. Above all, he was an approachable and sociable man who knew how to interpret, shape, and present his insights in his own unique way—through vivid, clear, and picturesque spoken or written words of unrestrained experiential depth. Today, many certainly still read and watch his useful, literarily inspired, and instructive works. Those who knew him and attended any of his remarkably lively and spirited, yet universally accessible lectures, could feel powerful and inspiring vibrations—his deep and sincere enthusiasm. He was a pilgrim-researcher, a promoter of lost imagery and Glagolitic heritage, who never wished to burden others with his erudition and greatness, but rather to enrich and ennoble them. For many years, we spent time together, researched, and collaborated, and I captured some of those moments with my still and video cameras, which I am now publishing on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth."
