Contemporary Post-Yugoslav Cinema

Having exorcised its war traumas, Post-Yugoslav cinema is opening up to a wider range of subjects, themes, and genres. The Contemporary Post-Yugoslav Cinema film series showcases two excellent examples of this trend: the nostalgic but uplifting sports feature about the rise of Yugoslav basketball We Will Be The World Champions (Bicemo Prvaci Sveta) and a “Balkan tango” of love and death in post-industrial Serbia, White, White World (Beli, beli svet).

The series is sponsored by the School of Global and International Studies, the Russian and East European Institute, the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures, the Institute for European Studies, Cinema and Media Studies program, and IU Cinema.
