The film program entitled “Dealing with the past/present”, organized by the Sarajevo Film Festival and in cooperation with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, will be held from February 10 to 16, announced the press service of Sarajevo Film Festival.
The program will be held at the Meeting Point Cinema in Sarajevo, and the program will be available online to viewers throughout BiH and the countries of the region on the OnDemand platform of the Meeting Point Cinema, Ondemand.kinomeetingpoint.ba. The program is free of charge.
Multiple award-winning films will be screened, some of which were also shown at the previous editions of the Sarajevo Film Festival, in the program “Dealing with the Past” or “Human Rights Day”.
The program includes the films “Nelly and Nadine” by Magnus Gertten, “Where is Anne Frank?” by Aria Folman, “Born in Evin” by Maryam Zaree, “A Case of New Size” by Anna Shishova, “Turn to the Sun” by Aliona van der Horst, “Holy Spider” by Ali Abbasi and “The Wire” by Tiha Gudac.
The announcement states that the program aims to initiate a dialogue on topics from the past and current events through moderated film screenings, which will shed light on these events from different perspectives through painful but also nostalgic stories, documentation and memories, and various aspects of past and current events.
This program contributes to the fulfillment of the noblest task of the film, which is to open the way to true empathy and true peace-building.
Discussions with the authors of the films will be held as part of the program, announced the SFF.
