Synopsis

Tracing changes in the social system from socialist Yugoslavia to Serbia, the film looks at how ideology performed itself in public space through mass performances. For this research-based essay film Popivoda collected and analyzed film and video footage from the period of Yugoslavia (1945 – 2000), focusing state performances such as youth work actions, May Day parades, celebrations of the Youth Day, as well as counter-demonstrations, in particular the 1968 student demonstrations, the civic demonstrations in the 1990s, and 5 October Revolution 2000. "Experience of the dissolution of the state, and today’s ‘wild’ capitalist reestablishment of the class system in Serbia are my reasons for going back" (Marta Popivoda)
