How can shared storytelling between mothers and their children become an act of resistance? Focusing on contemporary Croatian documentary cinema, Marija Katalinic explores how collaborative filmmaking serves as a self-reflexive strategy that challenges and fractures dominant narratives of Balkanization in the post-Yugoslav landscape. Through the lenses of vulnerability, family, trauma, and memory, her study examines the public sharing of personal stories on screen, with particular attention to the body and the interplay of politics, art, and culture. An essential resource for students, scholars, and researchers in visual culture, memory studies, cultural studies, and film studies.
