Four years in the making, the feature-length directorial
debut of Mila Turajlić “CINEMA KOMUNISTO” had an incredibly
successful European festival launch, premiering in the First Appearance
Competition at IDFA, and going on to win the Alpe Adria Cinema Award
for Best Documentary at the Trieste Film Festival, and most recently,
the Gold Hugo for best documentary at the Chicago International Film
Festival. In February 2011, "Cinema Komunisto" became the first Serbian
documentary film to achieve regular theatrical distribution in
multiplex cinemas in Serbia.
The 100-minute documentary examines the creation of the Yugoslav
“Hollywood of the East”, the golden age and the fall of the
Belgrade Cinecitta, and the way President Tito’s love towards
film and his direct involvement in their productions created the story
of Yugoslavia on screen. “Cinema Komunisto” reveals the
story “behind the scenes”of a collective mission of a
national cinematography using scenes chosen from over 300 Yugoslav
films, never-seen-before archive material from film shoots, and
Tito’s personal correspondence and comments to directors and film
crews.
