After nine screenings last fall, The Yugoslav Junction returns to the HFA this spring with a double bill. Resuming our exploration of Yugoslav film in its international contexts and connections, the evening will highlight experimental cinema in particular. Matevž Jerman and Jurij Meden’s Alpe-Adria Underground! (2024) is a feature-length crash course in Slovene amateur (i.e. avant-garde) imagemaking, while the 9pm program will showcase five works at the crossroads of film, music, and counterculture, 1962-1984. The films in this special coda are ecstatic and educational in equal measure; they are also underseen rarities, seldom projected on the big screen.
