While the countries in southern and eastern Europe share common histories and cultures, they have alternately been classified as Balkan and Mediterranean, as capitalist and socialist, as Western and non-Western, and as European and non-European. South by Southeast convenes a wide range of artistic works, many of which are screening for the first time in the United States, to deconstruct both geopolitical and aesthetic boundaries while mapping out a new conception of Europe. Originally established by Belgrade-based curator Greg de Cuir Jr. as an annual program of the Alternative Film\/Video Festival in Belgrade, this edition features works produced for cinemas, galleries, and the internet by Damir \u010cu\u010di\u0107, Armando Lulaj, Igor Simi\u0107, Peter Lichter, Julia Lazarkova, Diana Vidrascu, belit sa\u011f, and Igor Bo\u0161njak.<\/p>\n
