Censored without Censorship
Title: Censored without Censorship
Character: Himself (archive footage)
Released: March 2, 2007
Type: Movie
Through the conversation with Yugoslav film authors and excerpts from their films, this documentary film tells a story of a film phenomenon and censorship, and its focus is, in fact, a painful epoch of Yugoslav film called “a Black Wave”, which was the most important and artistically strongest period of Yugoslav film industry, created in the sixties and buried in the early seventies by means of ideological and political decisions. The film tells a great “thriller” story of the ideological madness which characterised the totalitarian psychology having left multiple consequences felt up to our very days. It stresses similarities between totalitarian regimes defending their taboos on the example of the persecution of the most important Yugoslav film authors. Those film authors have, however, made world careers and inspired many later authors. The film is the beginning of a debt pay-off to the most significant Yugoslav film authors.

The Man Who Created Systems
Title: The Man Who Created Systems
Character: Himself (archive footage)
Released: February 6, 1990
Type: Movie
The film analyzes the Titoist (Stalinist) rituals that were used to manipulate public opinion and the masses. In parallel, the film shows the monument of Edvard Kardelj, the main Orwellian ideologue of Titoism in the center of Ljubljana. The workers surrounding Kardelj are beings without articulated faces. Kardelj has the only human face. They all go to the so-called happy future. The monument confirms in an astonishing and perverse way that the so-called self-governing socialism produced a mass of impersonal and authoritarian individuals in the crowd, which the so-called communist elites rule unscrupulously by manipulating the feelings of the masses "about a better future".
