(PO) RAĐANJE JEDNE NACIJE

DELIVERY OF A NATION

Momir Matović

Yugoslavia, 1998, 13 Min

Yugoslavia after socialism. As the transformation proceeds the symbols fall out of use. On the outskirts of town, the five-pointed star is demolished and yet a handful of veteran ex-partisans have spent a lifetime believing in the ideals for which the now-rusty piece of metal stands. Their struggle continues.

Momir Matović – Man and Nature

In his films cult Montenegrin documentary filmmaker Momir Matović, born in 1951, paints portraits of people who adapt to the rhythms of nature. He shoots in the karstic hinterlands of the fascinating yet unruly “Black Mountains”, which above all require patience of the locals. And it is with patience that Matović observes his protagonists who come up against not only an all-powerful nature, but also the forces of history: the evolution of values, gentrification and rural exodus all leave their mark. Symbols and traditions vanish, and at the same time the people who embody them.
