The award-winning documentary "Cinema Komunisto" takes us on a fascinating journey through the crumbling remains of Tito's film industry, exploring the rise and fall of the former Yugoslavia through the movies made under its Communist leader.

Richard Burton, Sophia Loren and Orson Welles star in super-productions financed by the state and those closest to Tito tell how the history of Yugoslavia was constructed on the screen, including the personal projectionist who showed Tito and his wife films every night for 30 years.
