Summary:

The critically acclaimed original edition of Liberated Cinema: The Yugoslav Experience received the first annual "Close-up" award by the Yugoslav Film Institute in 1986 for "outstanding scholarship and for promoting the values of Yugoslav film art internationally." Revised and updated throughout, the new edition has also been expanded to complete the story of the new Yugoslav cinema of the 1980s and to deal with major film developments that have taken place in the former Yugoslavia's five successor states since the breakup in 1991. As in his analysis of past periods of Yugoslav cinema covered in the book, Goulding situates the most recent developments within the context of film economics, state subsidies, and changing patterns of political control. Most significantly, however, he provides an insightful discussion of the ways in which critically important domestic feature films produced or co-produced from 1991 to 2001 reflect upon post-Yugoslavia's recent brutal internecine warfare and other contemporary social, cultural, and political realities.
