SCREENING THE VICTIMHOOD, SCREENING THE SACRIFICE: DARA AND OTHER CHILDREN OF JASENOVAC
Apstrakt Cilj ovog rada je analiza jugoslovenskih i postjugoslovenskih filmova o Jasenovcu kao višestruko određenih (i)storija o Holokaustu/genocidu, o kulturalnoj traumi i nacionalnom žrtvenom narativu. Poređenje različitih filmskih priča Jasenovca – dubinska analiza filma Dara iz Jasenovca (Predrag Antonijević, 2020) i analiza scenarija filma Zlatni rez 42: Djeca Kozare (Lordan Zafranović, 2024; u trenutku pisanja ovog rada film je bio u postprodukciji i nije bilo moguće organizovati projekciju) – kao mesta dvostrukog genocida (Holokausta i Srba u Hrvatskoj) omogućavaju da u radu ocrtamo različite modalitete pripovedanja i reprezentacije nacionalnog žrtveništva i njihovih uloga u okvirima zadatim savremenom političkom agendom.
Abstract The concern of this paper is the analysis of Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav films about Jasenovac extermination camp as the multifold (hi)stories: of the Holocaust/ genocide, cultural trauma and national victimhood narrative. The comparison of different cinematic narratives of Jasenovac – particularly, the film Dara of Jasenovac (Dara iz Jasenovca, Predrag Antonijević, 2020) and the screenplay The Children of Kozara (Djeca Kozare, Arsen Diklic, 1986) – as the place of two genocides: the Holocaust and of Serbian ethnicity in Croatia, allows the authors to delineate different modes of screening national victimhood and the ways in which they play a part in contemporary political agenda(s). Although our comparison of the film Dara and the screenplay The Children may be unseemly, it is the result of the fact that the film (Zlatni rez ’42: Djeca Kozare / Golden Cut ’42: The Children of Kozara) and the eight-part TV series, both based on Diklic’s screenplay and, both directed by Lordan Zafranovic are in post-production, without the set date for finalisation or possible screening. Bearing in mind probable differences between the screenplay and the film or the TV series – due to the dynamic changes on a daily basis during shooting – the only methodologically proper solution is the analysis of the narrative given in the screenplay.
