The movie tells the story of D\u017eimi, a young man at the social bottom, who, after leaving his job as a seasonal worker and facing a series of obstacles, must find a way out through a career as a singer, even though he lacks talent.

SATURDAY, 5\u00a0<\/strong>October:<\/strong><\/p>\n

6 p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0On Love Skills (Karpo A\u010dimovi\u0107 Godina, 1972)<\/strong>
\n\u2018On Love Skills\u2019 was filmed while Karpo Godina was serving in the military, fully produced by the Yugoslav army, which wanted to use his skills as a cinematographer for its own benefit. Godina took what was offered but instead of making a military propaganda short film, he combined military footage with scenes from a nearby village inhabited by 7,000 single women, isolated from men serving in the army. The alternating mass scenes of only men or only women are accompanied by a romantic chanson about \u2018a thousand soldiers, a thousand women, but no children.\u2019<\/p>\n

6<\/strong>:15 p.m.\u00a0<\/strong>Early Works (\u017delimir \u017dilnik, 1969)<\/strong>
\n\u2019Early Works\u2019 is the debut feature film by \u017delimir \u017dilnik and the winner of the Golden Bear in Berlin. The film allegorically tells the story of young participants in the June 1968 student demonstrations in Belgrade, who spread their uncompromising Marxist beliefs across rural Vojvodina, aspiring to change the world. Three young men and a woman named Jugoslava challenge bourgeois routine by traveling to villages and factories to raise people\u2019s awareness and encourage their fight for emancipation and dignified life. During their journey, they confront their own limitations, weaknesses, and jealousy, eventually getting arrested. Disillusioned by their failed revolution, the three men decide on a tragic act.<\/p>\n

\nThrough interviews with Yugoslav filmmakers, the film tells the story of cinema and censorship, focusing on the painful yet most celebrated era of Yugoslav cinematography known as \u2018the black wave.\u2019 It features Du\u0161an Makavejev, \u017divojin Pavlovi\u0107, \u017delimir \u017dilnik, Lazar Stojanovi\u0107, Karpo Godina, Slobodan \u0160ijan, and many other film theorists and critics, covering the most artistically powerful period and the political and ideological bans imposed on filmmakers and their award-winning works during the 1960s and 1970s. The film was shot on authentic locations used in black wave films, featuring numerous archival documents.<\/p>\n

11<\/strong>:30 p.m.\u00a0<\/strong>Plastic Jesus (Lazar Stojanovi\u0107, 1971)<\/strong>
\n\u2019Plastic Jesus\u2019 is a Yugoslav feature film from 1971, directed by Lazar Stojanovi\u0107. It is the winner of the International Critics\u2019 Jury Award in Montreal and follows Tom, a young man from Zagreb who moves to Belgrade, attempting to make a film without money, but instead finds himself in a series of love affairs, one of which ends tragically. The film contains segments depicting life in Yugoslavia at that time, connected to student demonstrations and the cult of personality surrounding then-Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito.<\/p>\n
