    The Survivor’s Guide to Diaspora is an authobiographical travelogue following the protagonist in her attempts to make a living starting from scratch in America. Told from a first person perspective in the form of unconventional advice to future immigrants, the film unmasks the absurdities this woman from the Balkan is trying to understand while making her way through the advanced consumerist society slowly grinding her.

Sara Marković is director and producer from Belgrade, living currently in America after finishing her master’s studies on Emerson College. Her short film Brazillian Woman made its way to the Short Film Corner of the Festival in Cannes in 2019, and the screening of the feature documentary Blacklisted, which she co-directed with Nikola Dragović, was banned in Serbia for controversy. She is member of the Association of Film Artists of Serbia since 2020.
