Non-Aligned: Scenes from the Labudović Reels is a documentary feature-length film that take us on an archival road trip through the birth of the Third World project, based on unseen 35mm materials filmed by Stevan Labudović, the cameraman of Yugoslav President Tito. Non-Aligned re-traces the birth of the Non-Aligned movement, examining how a global project of political emancipation was constituted by the cinematic image. Together with Ciné-Guerrillas, the film forms a documentary diptych.
