Jasenovac Concentration Camp: Performing Memory on Screen
Jasenovac was a concentration camp where the regime of the WWII Nazi-aligned Independent State of Croatia (NDH) was incarcerating and killing members of national and religious minorities (Serbs, Roma people and Jews), as well as those that opposed the regime. Throughout 75 years, in different social and political contexts, various films were made on this topic that differs very much in their approach, aesthetics, historical narrative, and in very basic facts about the nature of the camp and the identity positions of perpetrators and victims. Speaker Ana will trace how representations of the camp and main historical narratives change in different historical, political and social contexts (i.e. in the NDH, socialist Yugoslavia, and its subsequent states, primarily Croatia and Serbia).
