His only feature film, and the most significant, is Landscape with a Woman (1976), a stylized essay on the artist-society relationship. In the movie, Matić showed an extraordinary, refined and unique feeling for photography and atmosphere, thus becoming a promising name in national cinema with his first and only film. He died in 1976 in Sarajevo, at the age of 29.
The movie was finished by his friends and it won awards Special Grand Prize of the Jury, FIPRESCI Prize, Prize of the Ecumenical Jury of Montréal World Film Festival, as well as Grand Jury Prize of Annonay International Festival of First Films. Abdulah Sidran stated that no sentence of Matić's (script) writing should remain unrecorded. For example, his unfinished scenario Brides arriving was directed by Emir Kusturica for TV Sarajevo in 1979.[1]
