Prerokbe Ognja (1996)
Another visual assault from the NSK collective
This great documentary about NSK`s work shows the whole organization in the conditions of second part of the 90`s, when communist regimes in eastern Europe ceased to exist. This film can be understood as a follow up of the first documentary about slovenian industrial rock band Laibach called "Laibach: Pobeda Pod Suncem" , but this time, you can see work of all sections united in the Neue slowenische Kunst collective (Laibach, Irvin, Rdeci pilot/Noordung, Novi kolektivizem, Department of pure and applied philosophy...). A must see for all, who are interested in NSK`s retrogardist artistic point of view, music or graphical design and who wants to understand the historical, cultural and political background of this exceptional art movement.
Laibach: Pobeda pod suncem (1988)
A brilliant documentary about an eastern European rock band
This film is about great Slovenian band Laibach (german word for Ljubljana, Slovenia). It depicts in pure "laibachian" style history of the group according to conditions of Slovenian history and political situation on the beginning of the 80's. This film can be taken as a visual manifesto of retrogardist cultural movement called NSK (Neue slowenische Kunst - New Slovenian Art) presented here by Laibach.
NSK is dealing with totalitarian principles of creating visual or performing art, but in these Slovenian guys living on the edge of germanic and slavonic cultures use a lot of humour, which can sometimes look little bit inappropriate, but really works.
