Production edit

Filming for the project began in 2000 in Kosovo, where Silva first met Ivan, whilst recording interviews for Balkan Rhapsodies: 78 Measures of War. Principal production of Ivan & Ivana occurred between 2006–2010 in San Diego, Belgrade, Serbia, and Montenegro. After 10 years of production the film premiered at Visions du Réel Documentary Film Festival in Nyon, Switzerland.
