ARTMargins Article Examines Tito's Absence in Mohaiemen's Film Through Non-Aligned Movement Dialogue

In a 2019 piece for ARTMargins Online, Uroš Pajović and Naeem Mohaiemen delve into the absence of Josip Broz Tito in Mohaiemen's 2017 film, Two Meetings and a Funeral, which features three channels. Their exploration began from conversations about Tito's essential role in founding the Non-Aligned Movement. Through discussions with figures like Vijay Prashad and Samia Zennadi, Pajović's insights reframe the narrative to include Yugoslavia's perspective. While Pajović remains optimistic about the movement's future, Mohaiemen's visuals alongside Tito's ironic quote reflect a contrasting sentiment. The article recalls Tito's 1971 statement to Indira Gandhi about "tribalism" and his claim of resolving the "Balkan problem" before the Yugoslav Wars, hinting at the movement's decline.
