Yugoslav Black Wave Cinema (1962–72) Yugoslav Black Wave (also referred to as Black Wave) is a blanket term for a Yugoslav film movement of the 1960s and early '70s. Notable directors: Dušan Makavejev, Žika Pavlović, Saša Petrović, Želimir Žilnik, Mika Antić, Lordan Zafranović, Mića Popović and Marko Babac. Their films are known for their non-traditional approach to film making, their dark humor and their critical examination of the Yugoslav society at the time. Curated for UbuWeb by

The Fox (1975-76) Full run of the shorty-lived legendary conceptual art publication with key contributions by Sarah Charlesworth, Michael Corris, Preston Heller, Joseph Kosuth, Andrew Menard, and Mel Ramsden. [Three issues; PDFs]
UbuWeb Films on Mobile Media After two long years, we are proud to announce that all our
films are finally viewable on mobile media (smartphones & tablets), as well as on computers. Special thanks to Ubu volunteers
Meredith Finkelstein for the coding, Patrick Stein for the conversions, and
Art Design Office for the streamlining and ongoing technical support. We ain't YouTube. As befits the avant-garde, our films are cranky and lo-fi. They take a minute to load, but they should always play. We're happy to have finally made it into the twenty-first century!
