A swarm of bodies and lights clashes with the orderly grids of modernist architecture in Slet 1988, which takes its title from Yugoslavia's final mass performance-celebration of socialism's achievements. Through the body of 74-year-old dancer Sonja Vukićević and the late-1980s diaries of a teenage girl, Marta Popivoda's incisive film contrasts the collective gatherings of the Socialist Federal Republic's decline with the rise of nationalism and isolation in the present.
