The Consul of Nowhereland
A short-form character documentary following the charismatic ambassador for Yugoslavia: a nation that long longer exists.
Winner of Samizdat Audience Award 2024
What the jury had to say:
'Upon first encounter, the film enchanted us with its valiant balance between a nostalgic, humorous portrait and a terrifying commentary on the sense of post-socialist futurelessness. Director Alex Milic approaches his character with exceptional delicacy, all while preserving the narrative’s critical edge. This film is a brilliant example of how collective traumas and historical memories can be translated for audiences outside the original context, with respect and loyalty to the story and care for the spectator.'
