"Innocence Unprotected"
1968
Directed by Dusan Makavejev
In 1942 a professional
strong man named Dragoljub Aleksic directed and starred in a trite little melodrama titled
Innocence Unprotected--the first Serbian talkie. Over 20 years later, Dusan
Makavejev retrieved the film from the Archives, tinted many of the
sequences by hand, and
interviewed Aleksic and his co-workers in present day Yugoslavia 1968. The
resulting cinematic collage is a funny and daring (in both content and form)
mix of a wide variety of film footage--including documentary, narrative,
agitprop, and various other bits and pieces of found footage. Serbian with
English subtitles. 78 minutes. |
