Mila Turajlić (b. 1979, Belgrade) is an award-winning filmmaker and archive ‘artivist’. In 2018, she was commissioned by MoMA in New York to create video installations for the museum’s landmark exhibition on Yugoslav modernist architecture. The artist is the founder of the NON-ALIGNED NEWSREELS research project (nonalignednewsreels.com), a long-term artistic exploration of the ‘orphaned’ status of film archives that were made as a gesture of Yugoslavia’s cinematic solidarity with the nonaligned world. Performative and video iterations of the project were curated for IDFA on Stage, international exhibitions and biennials, including the 12th Berlin Biennale (2022), the 59th Belgrade Biennale (2022) and Sharjah Biennial 16 (2025). In 2020, Turajlić was invited to join the AMPAS (Oscars) Documentary Branch. She has been awarded fellowships from the Columbia University’s Institute for Ideas and Imagination, in addition to artist grants from Sharjah Art Foundation and Chicken & Egg Films. She was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the French government in 2022.
