RE-ACTIVATING THE ARCHIVE

A deep-dive into the archival materials of a non-aligned ciné-collaboration and the legacy of the cameramen who filmed them.
Since 2013, filmmaker and archival artist Mila Turajlic has been researching the non-aligned collection of the Yugoslav archives, seeking to re-activate them via critical writing, lecture performances, video installations, exhibitions and online content.

Developed via ongoing collaboration with Filmske Novosti, the Yugoslav Newsreels, the research includes critical writing and visual installation projects. Beginning with a series of presentations and exchanges with academic scholars studying the re-surging field of non-alignment and Yugoslavia's role in the creation of the movement, the project expanded into the visual art field in 2019 via the participation in the Southern Constellations exhibition at the Southern Constellations: The Poetics of the Non-Aligned, Museum of Contemporary Art, Ljubljana.
The upcoming book and exhibition are supported through a Fellowship at the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination, Paris
