A Day With The Comedians
Ritual disguising of people in a village in central Serbia. Comedians, as they call themselves, perform a dramatic scene, sing and dance, and in the form of primitive theatre, make a mockery on actual social and political situation.
Disappearance of Heroes
After recent political changes in Serbia, many streets in Belgrade named after persons and events of the World War II, changed their names. The film depicts the work of the Street and Squares Commission, appointed by the city of Belgrade, as well as reactions of individuals and groups impacted by recent changes. A niece of prominent anti-fascist political leader, a family that lost its members helping the resistance, an illegal courier in occupied Belgrade and many more face a forceful removal of monuments they hold sacred.
