A DOCUMENTARY FILM BY MILA TURAJLIĆ
A FORGOTTEN ARCHIVE
In an unexplored vault in Belgrade, the capital of the former Yugoslavia, lies a collection of films known as ‘the non-aligned reels’. On them are images of African and Asian liberation movements and revolutionary leaders that defined the era of the 60s and 70s. How is it that the archive of these revolutions lies on another continent, forgotten in a film archive?
