ŽŽŽ (JOURNAL ABOUT ŽELIMIR ŽILNIK)
by Janko Baljak
synopsis
A road movie documentary through half-a-century of filmmaking by Želimir Žilnik, ŽŽŽ (Journal about Želimir Žilnik) is also a journey through the history of Yugoslavia, a country that no longer exists. With the specific style of docudrama that he built over the course of his work, Žilnik managed to remain engaged, brave and above all free by making low-budget films for decades. We follow the efforts of his team to finish the film FREEDOM OR COMICS, which was seized by censors fifty years ago and was recently discovered. This is the story of the uninterrupted struggle of disenfranchised social and minority groups, who are always the main heroes of Žilnik's films.
