Marta Popivoda is a filmmaker, artist, and researcher. The main concerns in her work are the tensions between memory, history, and ideology, and the relations between collective and individual bodies, approached from a feminist and queer perspective. She uses landscape dramaturgy, feminist storytelling, and principles of radical slowness to produce scenes of antifascist and eco-feminist memory.
Landscapes of Resistance
HD Video, 95 min., Serbo-Croatian with english subtitles, 2021
Landscapes of Resistance traces a journey through the memories of antifascist fighter Sonja (97), one of the first Partisan women in Yugoslavia, who was also among the leaders of the Resistance movement at Auschwitz. The film makes her story travel through time toward the bodies of a new generation of antifascists, suggesting that it is always possible to think and practice resistance.
How can a landscape speak?
It’s like wondering wether the grass, the crickets,
or the pond are only a backdrop of events,
or wether they are participants of events,
with their shadows, depths, sounds,
waiting to become narrators?
