Zaim Muzaferija (9 March 1923 – 5 November 2003) was a Bosnian film, television and stage actor, and poet.[1][2][3] The magazine 6yka (Buka) called Muzaferija a "legend of Bosnian cinema."[4]
During World War II, Muzaferija was arrested by NDH forces in 1942 along with a group of 36 anti-fascists.[5] In his retirement he became a teacher of German and French.
Muzaferija became an actor when he was in his late 30s, his first film being Uzavreli grad (Boom Town), directed by Veljko Bulajić.[6] The film premiered in February 1961.[7]
