Kino-katedra/ Maje Weiss Retrospective After the screening of The Road of Brotherhood and Unity
Lectures by Andrej ŠprahThis Kino-katedra meeting is dedicated to the exciting documentary film The Road of Brotherhood and Unity, in which Maja Weiss (together with her sister Ida) takes us along the famous "highway" of brotherhood stretching from the town of Jesenice to the Macedonian-Greek border, exploring the last vestiges of trust in a crucial socialist slogan about the coexistence and togetherness of different peoples in the republics of former Yugoslavia. The talk will focus on the director’s signature filmmaking style of proactive ‘travel’ exploration of pressing socio-political situations, cultural phenomena and her own authorial position, examined in the film through combinations of observational, interactive and reflexive documentary approach to representing reality.
