Pomračenje

2022 Documentary

Original language: Serbian, Romanian
The documentary examines responsibility and reckoning in time of crisis, reflecting on war crimes and genocide perpetrated in the former Yugoslavia through the lasting effects of actions -- and inaction -- on subsequent generations. While most of Europe was enraptured by a total solar eclipse on August 11, 1999, Serbians drew their curtains out of state-imposed fear of solar radiation. This curious incident becomes a rich, anchoring metaphor for willful ignorance and historical amnesia, which the directors of the film unravels and interrogates by questioning her family and friends.
