Clip (Serbian: Klip, Клип) is a 2012 Serbian drama film directed by Maja Miloš and tells the story of a young teenager girl Jasna who faces a harsh reality of living in an impoverished family where the father is dying of cancer and the mother is coming to terms with the prospects of being left alone with Jasna and her younger sister. Grappling with ephemeral nature of her early memories about interactions with her father and traces of a once happy family life, Jasna obsessively records much of her experience with her phone camera. The clips capture the grim reality of young teens living on the outskirts of Belgrade, caught up in early sex and sexualization, alcohol, drugs, Serbian turbo folk culture —reflecting post-war values of a broken society. The film became controversial for its depiction of some explicit scenes, supposedly performed by then fourteen years old actress Isidora Simjonović. However, the authenticity of those scenes is still debatable.
The director said in her interviews that Simjonović had been exposed to some degree of explicitness, however Miloš didn't tell how much of it nor to what kind of sexual acts. Also, Miloš said that prosthetic, dildos, special visual effects, body doubles had also been used, as well as the film had had long post production period but actually, she said nothing about unsimulated sex.[1][2] However, due to the both film's hyper-realism and the use of minors as the main actors, film was banned in Russia as being a child pornography.[3]
The film was released in Serbia on April 12, 2012 at Belgrade's Sava Center. It won KNF Award and Tiger Award at the 2012 Rotterdam International Film Festival.[4]
