“Complex-Yugoslavia” in Cinematheque, Copenhagen
By sergej | September 1, 2009
Cinematheque in Copenhagen presents in September a series of excellent films, all based in Yugoslavia - from the Gold Lion winner ‘Before the rain’ to Gold Bear winner ‘Sarajevo - song of hope’. The demise of Yugoslavia and the ethnic conflicts in the Balkans have been the subject of more than 50 features and 200 documentaries. One upshot of the tragic events is a new generation of talented directors and writers coming into their own. While the first films from the former Yugoslavia described an anarchic and amoral nightmare, a spate of more recent films have been more contemplative meditations on war trauma and the hope of reconciliation. The nine films in this series all take off from the breakdown of Yugoslavia. One of those films is ‘Jack, the Balkans and I’.
