Four years in the making, the feature-length directorial debut of Mila Turajlić “CINEMA KOMUNISTO” had an incredibly successful European festival launch, premiering in the First Appearance Competition at IDFA, and going on to win the Alpe Adria Cinema Award for Best Documentary at the Trieste Film Festival, and most recently, the Gold Hugo for best documentary at the Chicago International Film Festival. In February 2011, "Cinema Komunisto" became the first Serbian documentary film to achieve regular theatrical distribution in multiplex cinemas in Serbia. 

The 100-minute documentary examines the creation of the Yugoslav “Hollywood of the East”, the golden age and the fall of the Belgrade Cinecitta, and the way President Tito’s love towards film and his direct involvement in their productions created the story of Yugoslavia on screen. “Cinema Komunisto” reveals the story “behind the scenes”of  a collective mission of a national cinematography using scenes chosen from over 300 Yugoslav films, never-seen-before archive material from film shoots, and Tito’s personal correspondence and comments to directors and film crews.
