Join us for this special screening followed by a short conversation between the filmmaker Mila Turajlić and Dragana Jurišić. Non-Aligned: Scenes from the Labudović Reel (2022, 100mins) is a feature documentary built from the extraordinary newsreel archive of Yugoslav cameraman Stevan Labudović, tracing the Non-Aligned Movement’s cinematic solidarity with liberation struggles in Algeria and across the decolonising world.

Her films (Cinema Komunisto, The Other Side of Everything, Non-Aligned, Cine-Guerrillas) explore how intimate memory and archival fragments collide with erased political histories.
