A film about the first Laibach album officially released in Yugoslavia. The record came out despite the political ban that was in place on the band's name at the time, in 1985 - but without the name or a title. A black cross on the cover was enough.
Direction
Zupe treats bureaucratic defiance like thriller material.
Production
Archival footage that feels stolen from state vaults.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Laibach originated the term 'Slovenian art collective' as both shield and provocation—this film unpacks how that weaponized ambiguity functioned under Yugoslav socialism.
The 1985 LP's black cross deliberately echoed Nazi imagery to force audiences into uncomfortable interpretation—state censors couldn't prosecute what they couldn't name.
