Program Note
In a reflection of Sarajevo in the century between 1914 and 2014, a group of exceptional European filmmakers were called upon to create each a short film?from their distinct points of view and informed by their own experiences?that encapsulates this spectacular city and its history. The final portrait, The Bridges of Sarajevo, includes work by 13 filmmakers, including native Aida Begi?, first time visitor, German filmmaker Ursula Meier, Italian filmmakers Marra and Leonardo Di Costanzo, CristiPuiu, Jean-Luc Goddard, Angela Schanelec and Vladimir Peri?i?. The goal was to organically connect the stories while honoring the personal style of each artist. From Schanelec and Peri?i?’s attempt to contextualize the trigger for World War I and the terrorism of the contemporary world, to Isild Le Besco’s somber remembrance of the devastation of the 1990s, each film and filmmaker speaks to each other as much as they contrast and yet remain in harmony. As a real symbol of hope in all its dimensions, The Bridges of Sarajevo is as close to the essence of truth that filmmaking can come.
