Burning Balkans: Cinema, Culture and the Media : Théo Angélopoulos, Emir Kusturica, Ademir Kenović

Summary/Abstract: The article sets out to examine dominant themes and affinities in the aesthetics of the contemporary cinema of the Balkan countries. The themes and motifs of films made by producers in this region marred by a bloody past encapsulate the image of the Balkans, its history and its memory. War cinema, or better still, ‘the wars of the cinema’, could be the subtitle of Balkan cinematography in the 1990s and at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The study starts by looking at the major pictures of Balkan cinematography, moving across a triad of the most appreciated producers in international film industry: Théo Angélopoulos (Greece), Emir Kusturica (Serbia) and Ademir Kenovic (Bosnia).
