ITALIAN PREMIERE
Non-Aligned & Ciné-Guerrillas is a documentary diptych of two feature-length films that take us on an archival road trip through the birth of the Third World project, based on unseen 35mm materials filmed by Stevan Labudović, the cameraman of Yugoslav President Tito. Ciné-Guerrillas plunges us into the media battle that played out during the Algerian war for independence where cinema was mobilized as a weapon of political struggle against colonialism.
The film premiered at the latest Toronto IFF.
“The Algerian war was a defining moment in the decolonization struggle, and Stevan Labudović had gone far beyond a cameraman’s assignment by joining the FLN (National Liberation Front) until they won their freedom. I traveled with this quiet, modest man to Algeria, and was amazed to discover that there his legacy lives on. It was a precious opportunity to rediscover events from 50 years ago through the person who filmed them.” (M.Turajlić)
