PERSONAL, SOCIETAL, SUBVERSIVE, BANAL  VIDEO ESSAY, 7:30 MIN

(2021)
Yugonostalgia is a political and cultural phenomenon found in the countries of the former Socialist Yugoslavia. It refers to an emotional longing for a time past when the states were a part of one country, grief over the war that tore it apart and a desire to again unite.
The video is framed by a personal position on the topic, evolving from the initial confusion to a gradual understanding and identification. It explores the history and the socio-political context of the phenomenon, asking: Does nostalgia have a value beyond sentiment?
