Abstract

In this paper I discuss the role of Dragoljub Aleksić in two films with the same title: Innocence Unprotected. The second film is arranged as a collage: its story is developed through juxtaposition of scenes from earlier film Innocence Unprotected directed by Aleksić, documentary shots made by Dušan Makavejev, archive footage of Belgrade and feuilletons from the Second World War. In the article I compare persons appearing in the 1968 collage called The Tower of Eternity by painter Peđa Milosavljević and the characters in Makavejev’s film. I analyze connections between different artistic forms, art and politics and emphasize the importance of “little man” in the course of history.
