By listening to Sonja’s stories, we travel through the landscapes of her revolutionary past, as her memories start to intertwine with the filmmaker’s own confrontation with the rising fascism in Europe today. Landscapes of Resistance (one of the selected projects at WEMW in 2018), premiered at the Rotterdam IFF in 2021 and was then selected at more than 30 international festivals, including Cinéma du Réel, Sarajevo and Thessaloniki. “Antifascist resistance is the film’s central theme, and it’s told from two perspectives. The main perspective is that of Sonja’s life story, which starts amidst the rise of fascism in Europe in the 1930s … The other is the contemporary perspective of the two of us, the scriptwriters – Marta Popivoda and Ana Vujanović – a queer couple and leftist activists from Belgrade, who emigrated to Berlin. We visited and interviewed Sonja for over ten years, confronting her story with our own experiences of rising fascism in Europe today.” (M.
