Details
The first feature-length sound film produced in Yugoslavia is a poetic and innovative documentary that offers unique insight into the life of the united kingdom of Yugoslavia. This screening celebrates 130 years since the birth of the director.
Under the Yugoslav Sky by Miodrag Đorđević is a cinematic voyage that transports its viewers on a journey through the country – from Belgrade to Zagreb, Sarajevo to Ohrid, Bled to the Adriatic. Showcasing the diversity of people, culture and landscape and marked by the motifs of a journey down river and Dantean narration, the film also features the first sound recording of the Islamic call to prayer on film.
This programme is curated and introduced by Dr Mina Radovic, Liberating Cinema UK, a presentation of Serbian Film Festival UK: II.
Edition in partnership with Serbian Council of Great Britain.
