Synopsis
In the early '80s, an industrial rock band named Laibach emerged out of the tiny Yugoslavian republic of Slovenia. Laibach was more than just an ordinary rock band. Soon they were joined by Irwin, a painting group, and Red Pilot (aka Noordung), a theatre group and found themselves at the helm of one of the largest and most controversial "arts" collectives in the world. Modeled after a socialist state bureaucracy and calling itself New Slovenian Arts, or NSK, these three groups now represent a virtual mini-state within the small state of Slovenia. NSK recently began issuing its own passports and opened embassies in Moscow, Venice and Japan. Michael Benson's documentary not only provides a compelling portrait of NSK's work but also provides great insight into the current Balkan conflict.
