More good news for the South East European film community! CINEMA KOMUNISTO, a documentary about the Yugoslav movie industry, has just won the 2011 Gold Hugo Award for Best Documentary at Chicago International Film Festival. The doc's tagline is " When reality has a different script from the one in your films, who wouldn't invent a country to fool themselves?"
Mila Turajlić, the film’s director, had the honor of having her first feature doc in the international documentary competition together with such greats as Wim Wenders, Claude Lelouch, Frederick Wiseman and Werner Herzog. The Docufest selection of films competing for the Gold Hugo Award “went beyond the headlines in telling those true stories that surprise, entertain and challenge us.”
The announcement was made on Saturday, accompanied with the jury statement: “Gold Hugo goes to Cinema Komunisto (Serbia), an exquisite matching of form and content. This film uses cinema as both a metaphor and a mechanism for the telling of unique national, cultural, and personal histories. Archival and contemporary footage are deftly interwoven to yield a result that is at once intimate and universal."
