In this Lecture we will explore the ways in which we can read film as history. The overarching question that we seek to answer is: How can we understand the context (off-screen space) through the film?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to answer this question, we shall focus on the films produced during the 1990s conflict on the territory of former Yugoslavia. Through an analysis of film language (mise-en-scene, symbols, images, montage, sound and music, camera movement) we will assess the representations of the films\u2019 ideological context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we turn to the analysis of the films, the historical development of the Yugoslav cinema will be presented. Then, we will look at the selected films\/scenes and analyse the film language, to finally discuss the relationship between the on-screen (what we see in the film) and off-screen space (what we do not see, the surrounding political context).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
