Facing Darkness
Following Bosnia and Herzegovina’s declaration of independence in April 1992, Bosnian Serb troops besieged and bombed Sarajevo. Over a period of four years, five young filmmakers documented the bombardments and daily life during the siege—for some, the aim was simply to report the news; for others, it was a way of dealing with their fears.

Where Have You Been (2024)
0 /10
30 years after the genocide-the first in Europe since World War II-survivors in Bosnia and Herzegovina persist in their quest to find their missing loved ones. This film traces the homecoming of Bosnian-American artist Aida Sehovic and her participatory, nomadic monument to the Srebrenica Genocide. With the monument coming to its final resting place after traveling the world for 15 years, those who remain gather at the site of the atrocities to fill thousands of small ceramic coffee cups in memory of the victims. As they collectively mourn, painful questions endure: What does "never again" mean in a world where perpetrators live with impunity? How do art and empathy help fill the void left by immeasurable loss and trauma?

Scream for Me Sarajevo (2018)
8.7 /10
In 1994, Sarajevo was a city under siege. Mortars and rocket propelled grenades rained onto the city, killing indiscriminately, every day. Amongst the madness, two United Nations personnel: a British military officer and another Brit working for the UN Fire Department, decided it would be fun to persuade a global rock star, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, to come and play a gig to the population. Scream for Me Sarajevo brings that story, in all its madness, to the big screen. A story of musicians who risked their lives to play a gig to people who risked their lives to live them.

The documentary "Raza the Great" seeks to leave a legacy of testimony about one of the world's top basketball players, winner of several medals from continental, international, and Olympic championships, and accolades culminating in her entrance into the FIBA Hall of Fame. Her impact on basketball and sports in general, especially women's sports, is immeasurable. It is about Razija Mujanović, who played in various clubs over her lengthy career, winning several trophies and accomplishing impacts, most of which she was primarily responsible for. The same is true for two national teams (former Yugoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina), which demonstrated basketball, athletics, and human values. Her development and growth, during which she transformed her height (from a disadvantage that started as a complex) into capital and benefit, are unique and noteworthy.

In those years, Toni Kukoč became Europe's most popular basketball player and was also officially voted the best player of the old continent four times. The journey from Split, from elementary school to winning an NBA ring and sharing the locker room with the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, is a story about growing up, fellowship, and socializing with generations that only knew about winning during those years.

Regardless of his incredible sports results, what sets Toni Kukoč apart is his behavior off the field, his modesty and his sincerity.
