Representing the Yugoslav New Wave in the Documentary Film “The New Wave in Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as a Social Movement”

Abstract

This work explores the representation of the Yugoslav New Wave through the analysis of the documentary film “The New Wave in Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as a Social Movement”. Although the New Wave covers many spheres of art, in this analysis we will investigate it as the musical and cultural phenomena. The theoretical frame within the analysis is based on the idea that a documentary film can help us understand a particular period as well as reinvestigate it, and (re)construct it from a new. The results from this analysis should be able to show how the narrative about the New Wave continues to live thirty, forty years later, as well as how it inspires to (re)create and appoint with every new film made.
