“Cinema Komunisto” is an exceptionally powerful documentary film by Mila Turajlić that describes Yugoslav cinema during the period from 1946 to 1991. The film contains a truly vast number of authentic footage, excerpts, and original interviews with actors, directors, and studio owners, which will present “Cinema Komunisto” as a graph, i.e., a studious and thorough depiction of the rise and fall of a state, along with that of a government and an idea.

What is particularly special about this documentary is the narrative style and the immense attention to minute details. This project features interviews with a large number of respectable and significant figures from the world of film, such as Alfred Hitchcock, Richard Burton, Kirk Douglas, and many other recognized personalities. For some, the definitive highlight of the film is the interview with Leka Konstantinović, Tito's personal film operator, who experiences an emotional crisis while recounting his thirty-year collaboration with the Marshal.

This is something new at the Museum of Naive and Marginal Art, and we hope that the practice of screening various films will continue.
