Abstract:

This study examines the changes in Yugoslav cinema had realized from the 1980s to the 2000s, and seeks to see the contributions of the three important post-Yugoslav directors to the transformation of the cinema characters. The post-Yugoslav states emerged after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, had undergoes political and cultural changes as a result of the collapse of the former Yugoslav socialism and the post-civil war. The post-Yugoslav cinema, which took its share from these changes, experienced national identity and modernization crises. The examination of these changes in the cinema with cinematic characters is also very important in terms of visualizing cultural and economic changes in cinematic sense. The real problem here is where the boundary of this change will be drawn. Because, although the characters in the post-Yugoslavian cinema have been transformed, there is still some cinematic tradition that continues today. Post-Yugoslav cinema will therefore be considered in a broad context, with the 1980s era.
