See You in the Next War

A chemical generation war story

World television premier

Tonight: 15th May 2001 (B92's 12th birthday) on B92TV, Belgrade

23:00 hrs CET.

 

A film that&rsqu;Es more Plane-spotting than Train spotting:

See you in the Next War sets out to portray the lives of a group of people
who have grown up, fought, resisted and simply survived a decade of war in
the Balkans. A generation who fully embraced the punk and DIY ethos and who
refused to be bullied either by an oppressive regime or by the bombs of
NATO.

Humans against killing sounds like junkies against dope:

See You in the Next War is an-all digital documentary feature that tells a
story about the war in Yugoslavia from the perspective of the staff,
friends and listeners of the rebel radio station, Belgrade radio B92.

Fuck them and their law:

Filmed both outside and inside Serbia over the past 18 months, See You In
the Next War is both a shocking and at times shockingly absurd portrayal of
life both during and in between war-time.

With a musical sound-track that includes contributions from Serbia&rsqu;Es
top bands and DJ&rsqu;Es, See You in the Next War is genuinely independent,
guerrilla film making at it&rsqu;Es most daring, provocative and passionate.

A must-see for anyone who believes that there always is another side to any
war, other than the one portrayed by the mainstream global media or by
state propaganda.

Accept NO Borders!:

See You in the Next War is a film that not only talks-the-talks, but also
walks-the-walk in it&rsqu;Es search for the truth. It is a celebration of
dissent and reaffirmation of the kind of free-spirit that believes that
there is a need in times of crisis to accept no borders in search of the
truth.

The revolution will be televised and stage-managed:

Filming inside Serbia was undertaken both covertly by Director/Producer
Doug Aubrey with a small digital camcorder and also with the co-operation
of the staff of the B92 TV dept and includes extracts from Zoran
Kesic&rsqu;Es remarkable street-level footage of the October 5th uprising.

Adopting a stylish and innovative format, that fully embraces the creative
potential of digital film making; See You in the Next War reaches
it&rsqu;Es spectacular (and contradictory) climax with the popular
up-rising against the Milosevic regime and the return of some of the staff
to the original B92 station in central Belgrade, for the first time since
the NATO bombing and the station&rsqu;Es take-over.

The film&rsqu;Es concluding moments are both a sobering warning to anyone
in the west who believes that the war in the Balkans is over and also a
timely reminder of the need for a genuinely independent media voice to
continue to be heard not just in Serbia, but world-wide.

Preview copies of the film, along with information about the film&rsqu;Es
producers and screening/sales opportunities are available from:
