Mila's great-grandfather, a wealthy politician, owned the apartment, which was sub-divided into smaller living quarters when the communists took power in the 1940s.
[26] Turajlić is currently working on her next documentary Tito’s Cameraman, which is composed of archival footage and interviews with Stevan Labudović [fr], whose camera lens "...recorded the birth of friendships that became the cornerstone of the Non-Aligned Movement.
"[27] Labudović regularly accompanied Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito during his international travels, documenting his visits with heads of state.
[28][27] To capture intimate moments with these world leaders, Labudović developed a technique using a 50mm lens, so that "... the true nature of their personality could be revealed."
He had the opportunity to film Nehru, Queen Elizabeth II, Kim Il Sung, John F. Kennedy, Fidel Castro, among others.
