Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1979, Mila Turajlić is an award-winning filmmaker and archive "artivist" whose films include Cinema Komunisto (2010), and IDFA-winner The Other Side of Everything (2017). Her most recent documentary diptych Non-Aligned & Ciné-Guerillas: Scenes from the Labudović Reels (2022)--an archival road trip through the birth of the Third World--was described by The New York Times as "a visually arresting inquiry into what it takes to envision a new world." Her films have screened at numerous festivals including Toronto and Tribeca, and have been released theatrically in Europe, North America and across the former Yugoslavia. She is currently in post-production on her next feature: a documentary made with 96-year-old activist Elaine Mokhtefi.
