Mladen Matula C.C.S. Cinematographer Born in Austria, Mladen grew up in Zagreb Croatia. At the age of four he was chosen as the lead actor in a Croatian television series. Mladen was the youngest member inducted into ZKM - the famous theater group in Zagreb. Thirteen years, and a lot of fun, later his true passion was born during the filming of a TV series - observing the work of the show's director of photography. Admitted to the "Center for Culture and the Arts" Department for film and TV in Zagreb, Mladen graduated with honours. He subsequently enrolled at the University of Zagreb Academy of Dramatic Arts (Department of Cinematography) - one of only five candidates admitted that year. At the end of his second year Mladen began assisting, and observing, the two most influential DoP's of his country - Tom Pinter and Zivko Zalar. In 1989 Mladen completed his studies and moved to Milan, Italy. He continued his work as a focus puller until 1995, when he started working exclusively as a DoP. Since that time Mladen has shot more than 200 TV commercials, gaining experience filming in the studio, on location, from helicopters and on water and with thousands of extras. He is equally comfortable using both film and digital, in all formats. He has adapted to a varied range of styles - from sweeping cinematography, to hand- held immediacy. He is no stranger to complex and difficult projects - once successfully completing the shoot despite filming through a hurricane. Mladen worked in Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Monte Negro, Albania, Romania, USA, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Germany, Kenya,Tanzania, India, United Emirates, Egypt Thailand, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam.

- German novelist Oskar Maria Graf was born in the Bavarian town of Berg am Starnbarger See in 1894. His father was a baker, and Oskar--like his five brothers--learned the family business while still a child. However, he wasn't planning to spend the rest of his life in the family's bakery, and at age 16 he ran away from home and went to Munich, determined to become a writer. In 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, he was drafted into the German army and posted to the Russian front. A devout Catholic, he took the Fifth Commandment, "Thou shalt not kill", to heart and refused to carry a gun, and in 1917 he was thrown out of the army. He returned to Munich after the war, and in the early 1930s he became aware of the National Socialist (Nazi) party and its leader, Adolf Hitler. Graf--by now a successful writer--was horrified by their agenda and beliefs and fought them at every turn. When Hitler took power in 1933, Graf left Germany for Austria, and although the Nazis tried to persuade him to support Hitler and their cause, he absolutely refused. On the day when the Nazis held a nationwide book-burning of works by authors they deemed to be "immoral", "anti-German" and "treasonous", Graf sent Hitler a letter demanding that his books be burned also. The Nazis not only obliged, but also stripped him of his German citizenship. In 1934 he left Austria for Czechoslovakia, and when the Germans invaded Czechslovakia he fled to the US and settled in New York City.

Later placed 4th in the pursuit in Presque Isle. At the 2016 World Championships, Simon Eder won a bronze medal in the Individual.
