After Yugoslavia
The fall of Yugoslavia was a historical event of huge importance for the Balkans, but also for the rest of Europe and the world. Different accounts and explanations of how and why the former Yugoslavia collapse...

Established in Melbourne (Australia) in 1999, Senses of Cinema is one of the first online film journals of its kind and has set the standard for professional, high quality film-related content on the Internet.

Senses of Cinema was founded on stolen lands. We acknowledge the sovereignty of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nation and support all Aboriginal people on their paths to self-determination.
