Over the last two decades, Žilnik has produced a startlingly original body of work on the struggles of undocumented immigrants and refugees. In the award-winning LOGBOOK SERBISTAN, he casts Middle Eastern and African refugees fleeing war and poverty as versions of themselves in stories based on their experiences seeking asylum. Most hope to reach the European Union (EU), yet, as borders close, find themselves stuck in overwhelmed refugee centers in Serbia, which is itself excluded from the EU. Harrowing and humorous, Žilnik’s film is a masterful human drama and incisive portrait of border politics.
