Post-Yugoslav Cinema and Politics: Films, Lies and Video Tape

Abstract

The article discusses politics of post-Yugoslav cinema in its extra-cinematic domain. Development of cinematography in post-Yugoslav states has often drawn on common cultural connections. Plurality of identities, cultures and political beliefs were developed during this period. It was also accepted that parts of the post-Yugoslav societies share common cultures and have many similarities in their identities. Thus post-Yugoslav cinema and space are defined in addition to remaining unanswered issues of what national cinema means in the post-Yugoslav cinema. The films produced in this period are classified in three categories: films for national audiences, films for regional, post-Yugoslav audiences and films targeting international audiences. Politics was heavily involved in film making throughout this period. The resulting cinema can be used for the analysis of cultural and identity developments and nation-building processes. Finally, the article proves existence of post-Yugoslav cinema as part of post-Yugoslav culture that is imaginary culture without geopolitical space.
