Yugoslav partisanfilms as a platform for transnational negotiation and publicity

The work examines the Yugoslavian partisan film of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The films “The Battle of the Neretva” (1969), “The Fifth Offensive – Encirclement Battle of the Sutjeska” (1973) and “One is Sarajevo” (1972) the corpus1. It examines the extent to which these film texts were subject to transnational negotiation processes in terms of visual and formal language and how this inscription in turn contributed to addressing the transnational public. The analytical consideration focuses on the period 1969-1973; The transnational influence was noted as early as 1946/19472 and, acting as a reference, was integrated into the analysis. In addition to the film texts, non-film elements such as film reviews, film articles, film posters and current distribution phenomena (DVD and Blu-Ray releases) are included.
