Yugoslavian Black Wave in New York |

Sep 12—23 Brooklyn Academy of Music
The Yugoslavian Black Wave was one of the most anarchic and politically subversive of all 1960s cinema movements, frequently running afoul of official Yugoslavian government policy. Combining artistic, sexual, and ideological freedom often with a sense of humor, the Black Wave reinvented existing notions and standards of cinematic realism—mud, blood, tears, bleakness, destruction of illusions—that for a brief moment produced some of the most liberating cinema the world has ever seen. When re-introduced to audiences, Karpo Godina and Zelimir Zilnik, among others, will certainly join the beloved Dušan Makajevev with the status of great masters.
