This would for example include films from places like USSR, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, etc.
What are your favourite films from defunct countries?

There are lots of good Soviet films - if I had to pick one it would be something from Tarkovsky (Solaris? Rublev?). Other than those I'd probably go with Kusturnica's 1995 film Underground, which was from Yugoslavia, although at that point Yugoslavia was reduced to Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo.

Under that standard I guess I'd pick something by Kieslowski, since he when he made his films it was the People's Republic of Poland, and they've since dropped the "People's" (and their communist political system). But that just means it's a bad standard. Murnau and Lang made movies in Germany (before going to Hollywood), and it's still Germany today. |

Though i already mentioned the film Stalker 1979, it should be mentioned here because it was made in the former USSR, under censorship, & Torkavsky was eventually exiled from his own country (as returning meant that he would never be able to work as a film-maker again).
