Genres:

Told through intimate interviews, archival footage, and diary excerpts, discover the incredible and forgotten history of Yugoslav cameraman Stevan Labudović's mission to make films to support the Algerian anti-colonial effort and counter French propaganda in the 1960s. Q&A with filmmaker Mila Turajlić to follow.

Serbian "artivist" and filmmaker Mila Turajlić follows cameraman Stevan Labudović’s work in Algeria through intimate interviews with him and Algerian revolutionary contemporaries, as well as through his original newsreel footage, to show an untold chapter in the history of anti-colonial cinema. Ciné-Guerrillas is a testament to international solidarity, to the power of images in the fight for decolonization, and to the possibilities of history retold through the cinematic image. [94 min; documentary; Serbian, English, French, and Arabic with English subtitles]

A Q&A with filmmaker Mila Turajlić and Dr. Joshua Malitsky, Director of IU’s Center for Documentary Research and Practice, will follow the screening.
