The Cinema of the BalkansDina Iordanova Wallflower, 2006 - 291 pages Another in the 24 Frames series, each of these twenty-four essays discusses an individual film from the Balkan region (Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Albania, and the former Yugoslavia-Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Croatia, and Slovenia). These films represent the rich and diverse culture of the Balkans and reveal the stylistic and thematic affinities of a region often perceived as a disconnected cultural space. Films include: Stella (Greece, 1955), Goat's Horn (Bulgaria, 1972), When I Am Dead and Pale (Yugoslavia, 1969), The Red Horse (Yugoslavia, 1984), Stone Wedding (Romania, 1971), and Walter Defends Sarajevo (Yugoslavia, 1972). |
