Editorial
Volatile with the unburied tensions of 20th-century Eastern European history, Danis Tanović’s explosive interrogation of labor conditions and contested nationhood won the FIPRESCI and the Jury Prize at the Berlinale in 2016. Dirty laundry is aired and workers’ rebellions waver in this dynamite film.
