Films made after 1991 that are set in socialist Yugoslavia keep the former country present in popular culture. From Tito and Me (1991) to How I Learned to Fly (2022), from Slovenia to Serbia and beyond, from nostalgic tales to dark thrillers, the post-Yugoslav cinematography remembers Yugoslavia. Similarly, Czech directors have tackled the socialist period in their own ways. A comprehensive, comparative perspective.
With Mirko Milivojević and Vladan Petković (YU) and Veronika Pehe (CS). Featuring music by Spirituál Kvintet and others.
