Rozrachunek z rokiem 1948 i jego następstwami w jugosłowiańskim i postjugosłowiańskim filmie fabularnym

Abstract

The Yugoslav-Soviet political conflict began in 1948 and lasted for several years, constituting the second phase of the communist revolution in Yugoslavia. The es­sence of this phase is the de-Stalinization of the country and the emancipation of Titoism as an autonomous form of communism. The aforementioned phenom­ena are reflected in over a dozen feature films. The first ones were created at the turn of the 1940s and 50s. Though devised as propaganda materials, these works are artistically ingenious anti-Stalinist satires. Another batch of films appeared at the turn of the 1960s and 70s: their authors focus primarily on the victims of the de-Stalinization process. Films shot in the 1980s offer a look at 1948 and its aftermath in a broader time perspective, while at the same time emphasizing the problems of how political events influenced family ties. In the few films about de-Stalinization made after the fall of communism in Yugoslavia and the dissolu­tion of the state, a strong theme of the relationship between politics and religion can be observed.
