The Iron Gates

The Iron Gates (2024) is a documentary, drama film directed by Barbara Knežević.

Cinematic observations and testimonies intertwine with interpretations of contemporary dancers, the author’s sculptural work, and the voices of actors who lend their voices to non-human protagonists: geological formations, infrastructural objects, and animals. The author of the film, whose family was deported from Yugoslavia to Germany during the Second World War, re-learns the Serbian language, and reflects on the notion of migration and progress.
