A Film with No Name (Serbo-Croatian: Za sada bez dobrog naslova, Serbian Cyrillic: За сада без доброг наслова) is a 1988 Yugoslav drama film directed by Srđan Karanović. It won Golden Tulip Award at the International Istanbul Film Festival in 1989.
In terms of genre, it is a blend of drama, mockumentary and dark comedy, and it was inspired by the escalation of the Serbian-Albanian conflict, specifically the dramatic deterioration of relations between the majority Albanian population and the minority Serbs in the then Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo.
The story simultaneously depicts the brutally interrupted love story between a Kosovo Serb and an Albanian girl, as well as attempts to make a feature film about it. A Film with No Name has been characterized by an unusual style and a large dose of irony, but it quickly fell into oblivion, which is attributed to the escalation of the political crisis in Yugoslavia and the anti-bureaucratic revolution, after which Karanović fell out of favor with Milošević's regime.
