AVANT-GARDE CINEMA FROM EX-YUGOSLAVIA, 1950s-80s March 6 – 8

Even the most dedicated cinephile may be unaware of the wave of inventive films that emerged in the countries of ex-Yugoslavia during the 1950s-1980s.

To begin to redress the invisibility of these films here in the U.S., as well as to call attention to some of the important institutions and organizations that are heroically working (in the face of daunting obstacles) to preserve the avant-garde cinema of ex-Yugoslavia, we’ve invited the Slovenian Cinematheque, the Croatian Film Association, and the Academic Film Center, Belgrade, to curate programs showcasing films from their collections.

The resulting series expands upon a groundbreaking program curated for Anthology in 2012 by scholar and writer Pavle Levi, and hopefully itself represents a preview of things to come. The films included here are guaranteed to transform your conception of 20th-century experimental cinema.

Jurij Meden, the curator of Program 1, will be here in person to present the screening of Slovenian work on Fri, Mar 6!
