  “The state is not just the territory, but also the people living on that territory”. Villages in the Crna Trava municipality, broken into multiple hamlets or mahalas as they are called here, are almost entirely desolate. Remaining elderly households give a false impression of life, but this life is slowly fading. One of them is the household of Srbijanka Mitrović from the hamlet of Todorovci. 

 

Nebojša Ilić from Vlasotince started his career in 1994 as a cameraman for а local television. Since 2006 he has been working in the Cultural Center of Vlasotince, where he records all important events within the municipality аs well as outside. He is a member of numerous professional associations. He says that he is first and foremost a cinematographer and then everything else... He is a complete author of the films he creates.
