Throwing Off the Yolks of Bondage

Throwing Off the Yolks of Bondage (1996) is a documentary film directed by Želimir Žilnik.

Milošević’s regime has rigged the results of parliamentarian elections in autumn 1996. This was a cause for mass rallies in Belgrade and other cities in Serbia. The film documents the protests during the first four days of their protests, their political and criticising charge but also the carnival spirit. On the seventh day of the protests the film was edited and had a premiere screening in the Rex Cinema.
