Feminist Activists in Yugoslavia and after

Politics of Return: no country for an old home

After a conflict there is often disagreement about who 'belongs' to the people - who is still a citizen. This film explores the acute struggles that take place over the right of return of people displaced by conflict, and the way in which their inclusion or exclusion may be motivated by political considerations.

Where have all the workers gone?

The film tells the tale of textile workers in post-Yugoslav states. The garment industry was very successful in socialist times, and employed thousands of workers, particularly women. After the Yugoslav break-up and post-socialist transition, however, the industry underwent a process of economic decline and deindustrialization. Textile workers in the former Yugoslavia faced factory closures, job losses and exploitative working conditions, thus losing the social security and social rights experienced during socialism.

Plurinational and Multinational Regionalism after Yugoslavia

What constitutes and defines membership in multiethnic regions in the post-Yugoslav space? By focusing on the regions of Istria in Croatia, and Vojvodina in Serbia, the film explores the differences between ‘plurinational’ and ‘multinational’ regionalism and tackles the question of sub-state citizenship.

Silenced Voices: Romani minorities in Yugoslavia and after

The position of Roma as citizens of socialist Yugoslavia and post-Yugoslav states is the focus of this film. It depicts how the situation of Romani minorities changed in the post-Yugoslav settings and how new citizenship regimes further marginalised this group, turning its members into true post-Yugoslav ‘subalterns’.

The Last Yugoslav Generation

'The Last Yugoslav Generation' reflects on the generational critique of late Yugoslav socialism articulated by the youth cultural scene in the 1980s. Through interview excerpts it addresses their sense of 'layered Yugoslavness', as well as a sense of loss and betrayal after the end of socialism and Yugoslavia.

Citizens in the Making: Post-Yugoslav Students and Teachers

This documentary explores how in post-Yugoslav states civic education has been overshadowed by the ethnocentric structures of the education systems, policies and curricula, paradoxically on the pretext of promoting multicultural education.’ These curricula are largely delivered by teachers who had been influenced by the past values of ‘brotherhood and unity’. The films shows how young citizens’ identities are partly shaped by the education structures, but also by the way teachers position themselves in relation to these structures - both as agents of change and of continuity.
