Censored without Censorship

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 payoff to the most significant Yugoslav film authors
