The Seventh Continent (1966 film)

The Seventh Continent (Croatian: Sedmi kontinent) is a 1966 Yugoslav and Czechoslovakian co-production film directed by Dušan Vukotić.

Soon, thousands of children of all races begin to abandon their parents and arrive at the new continent, forming a friendly and joyous society, where everyone is equal.

Their parents realize children are going missing all over the world and begin to look for them, but are unaware of the existence of the seventh continent.

Abdoulaye Seck, playing the role of the Black Boy, was the son of a Senegalese diplomat stationed in Belgrade.

[3] The Croatian Film Association database of Croatian cinema notes the film's criticism of the modern civilization and its mechanisms of repression, as well as its poetic visuals, but also its ultimately excessive idealization of the children's world, stereotypically contrasted with the world of grown-ups.
