Marble Ass: The pioneering LGBT film made during the Balkans war
in the 1990s, an accidental encounter with a trans sex worker in Belgrade inspired Serbian film director Zelimir Zilnik to make a ground-breaking film.
Marble Ass celebrated the lives of the LGBT community in the former Yugoslavia and made a star out of the trans actor, Merlinka. Zelimir Zilnik told Witness History how the characters in the film "boosted and encouraged people to come out" in a traditionally conservative country. He also described the challenges of making the film during a war, when even getting hold of cameras was difficult because of international sanctions.
