Jasmina Cibic works in film, sculpture, performance, and installation to explore ‘soft power’ and how political rhetoric is deployed through art.

Cibic’s films have been screened at Whitechapel Gallery, London Film Festival, HKW Berlin, Musée du Louvre, Dokfest Kassel, and Copenhagen International Documentary Festival.
