Courtesy of the artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For more than 50 years, renowned Serbian director \u017delimir \u017dilnik has produced a body of trailblazing and politically committed films. A key member of Yugoslavia\u2019s rebellious Black Wave film movement of the 1960s and a pioneer of docufiction, \u017dilnik\u2019s perspective was shaped by atrocity at the hands of Nazis, Yugoslavia\u2019s turbulent history and dissolution, and periods of exile. Over the years, he has used his camera to explore the experiences of outsiders of all kinds, depicting complicated social and political realities from a distinctly human perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Join us for three programs that cover the range of \u017dilnik&#8217;s career, including his essential early SHORT FILMS (Thursday, October 5, 6:00 p.m.), mid-career feature MARBLE ASS (1995) (Friday, October 6, 6:00 p.m.), and recent award-winner, LOGBOOK SERBISTAN (2015).<\/p>\n<p><strong>LOGBOOK SERBISTAN<\/strong><br \/>\n2015, \u017delimir \u017dilnik, Serbia, 94 minutes<br \/>\nIn multiple languages with English subtitles, Format: DCP<\/p>\n<p>Over the last two decades,\u00a0\u017dilnik\u00a0has produced a startlingly original body of work on the struggles of undocumented immigrants and refugees. In the award-winning LOGBOOK SERBISTAN, he casts Middle Eastern and African refugees fleeing war and poverty as versions of themselves in stories based on their experiences seeking asylum. Most hope to reach the European Union (EU), yet, as borders close, find themselves stuck in overwhelmed refugee centers in Serbia, which is itself excluded from the EU.\u00a0Harrowing and humorous, \u017dilnik\u2019s film is a masterful human drama and incisive portrait of border politics.<\/p>\n<p><em>Presented in partnership with The Center for Eastern European and Russian\/Eurasian Studies at the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Chicago\u2019s (UIC) School of Literatures, Cultural Studies, and Linguistics and UIC\u2019s School of Art and Art History.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the artist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u017delimir \u017dilnik\u00a0is an artist-filmmaker from Novi Sad, Serbia.
