There’s Fatamorgana In My Desert

The film weaves together archival footage of Yugoslavia’s idealized unity with a personal investigation into the filmmaker’s grandfather’s imprisonment under the regime. As the film moves from collective memory to intimate reflection, fragmented visuals reveal the silence of political trauma and the complexities of inherited memory. Rooted in archival theory, the project questions the authority of official histories, exploring how archives shape power and memory. By reimagining history as a fluid space, the film examines the impact of repression across generations.
