Dan ljudskih prava: Prava žena danas: nazadovanje, stagnacija ili progres? / Human Rights Day: Women’s rights today: regression, stagnation or progress? I pored značajnog napretka ostvarenog u proteklim godinama, rodna diskriminacijia i nejednakost polova ostaju među najprisutnijim vidovima nejednakosti širom svijeta. Žene se još uvijek manje pitaju kada je riječ o procesima donošenja odluka, raspodjeli javnih prihoda, u privredi, kao i unutar društava u kojima žive, pa i unutar samih porodica. Velike rodne razlike još uvijek postoje u učešću u političkoj vlasti (žene sjede u samo 20% poslaničkih klupa u parlamentima diljem svijeta). U ovom trenutku, žene dobivaju samo 10% ukupnih svjetskih prihoda i posjeduju svega nešto više od 1% svjetskog bogatstva, iako obavljaju dvije trećine od ukupne količine posla na svijetu. Žene su također u nepovoljnijem položaju što se tiče obrazovanja i pristupa zdravstvenoj zaštiti. Trećina žena i djevojaka u svijetu bile su žrtve fizičkog ili seksualnog nasilja, a često ovo nasilje prolazi nekažnjeno. Pogledamo li situaciju na lokalnom nivou, više od pola žena anketiranih u Bosni i Hercegovini 2013. godine iskusilo je najmanje jednu vrstu nasilja, od svoje petnaeste godine starosti. Ukorijenjeni macho stereotipi, također, predstavljaju ozbiljan društveni problem u regionu. Kako bi doprinijela smanjenju nasilničkog ponašanja prema ženama, posebno od strane mladića, Švicarska između ostalog podržava i provođenje serija edu-

kativnih radionica za mlade. Nažalost, svi smo svjesni da je pred nama još dug put kako bi se ove strukturalne i svakodnevne razlike i problemi koji iz njih proizilaze širom svijeta okončali. U vremenu globalizacije, rodna pravda ostati će jedno od ključnih pitanja na svjetskom nivou. Budući okvir za rješavanje ovog pitanja treba da bude zasnovan na postojećim međunarodnim instrumentima za zaštitu ljudskih prava i obaveza preuzetih kroz dokumente kao što su Konvencija o uklanjanju svih oblika diskriminacije žena (CEDAW) i Pekinške platforme za akciju. Opredijeljenost za promovisanje socijalne i rodne jednakosti i rad na osnaživanju žena i dalje su jednako neophodni kao i prije, te zahtijevaju da svi urade svoj dio: vlade, privatni sektor, civilno društvo. Uvjereni da Sarajevo Film Festival predstavlja izvrsnu platformu za publiku, filmske umjetnike, aktiviste, novinare, te donosioce odluka da debatuju o svojim stavovima u jedinstevnom okruženju, odabrali smo da u fokus ovogodišnjeg Dana ljudskih prava stavimo temu prava žena. Nadamo se da će nas razgovori započeti tokom ovog dana inspirisati da damo svoj skroman, ali ipak bitan doprinos promociji rodne jednakosti i prihvatanju odnosa ispunjenih poštovanjem.

E Despite significant progress achieved over the past years, gender-based discrimination and gender inequality remain the most pervasive forms of inequality around the world. Women still have less voice than men in decision-making, allocation of public resources, the economy, their societies and within their households. Large gender gaps remain in political participation, both for women’s representation in political bodies (only 20% of parliamentary seats across the world are currently held by women) and as voters. Currently, women only receive 10% of the world’s income and own hardly more than 1% of all assets worldwide, even though women still shoulder more than two thirds of the world’s workload. Women are also disadvantaged in education and in the health sector. Over one third of all women and girls worldwide experience physical or sexual violence – and much of this violence remains with impunity. If we go locally, more than half of the women surveyed in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2013 experienced at least one form of violence from the age of 15. Persisting macho stereotypes are also a serious societal problem in the region. In order to contribute to prevent young men displaying violent attitudes towards women, Switzerland is, amongst other, supporting a series of educational initiatives for young people. Unfortunately, we all are conscious

that there is still a long road to go before put an end to these structural and everyday disadvantages all around the world. In the age of globalization, gender justice will remain a key issue in the global agenda. The future framework should be based on existing international human rights instruments and commitments such as the Convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women (CEDAW) and the Beijing Platform for Action. The commitment to work on promoting equality, including social equity, gender equality and women’s empowerment is as necessary as before and requires everyone to do their part: governments, the private sector, civil society. Convinced that the Sarajevo Film Festival provides a compelling platform for the general public, movie makers, activists, journalists and decision makers to debate their views in a unique setting, we chose the topic of women’s rights as focus of this year’s Human Rights Day. We hope that the debates started during the Human Rights Day will inspire all of us to give our personal contribution, modest but yet important, to promote gender equality and embrace healthy and respectful relationships.

Šta je dom? – Čin sjećanja / What is Home? – The act of remembering

Film, više nego bilo koja druga umjetnička forma, svojim gledateljima otvara mogućnost upoznavanja novih kultura, drugačijih životnih okolnosti, neobičnih ljudi. Dokumentarni film takvu širu perspektivu može otvoriti na upečatljiv način samo ukoliko se autor uspio približiti samim učesnicima događanja te je blizak i razumjeva tačku gledišta junaka o kojima govori. I zaista, dobar autor uvijek stoji u centru zbivanja, u srcu stvarnosti, i koristi svoje umjetničko oko da gleda, tumači i promišlja ono što ga okružuje. Filmovi autora iz jugoistočne Evrope i Južnog Kavkaza, koji su izabrani za ovogodišnju takmičarsku selekciju dokazuju da je regionalna dokumentarna produkcija izuzetno napredovala i postala vrlo značajnim dijelom evropske dokumentarističke scene. Ono sto je osobito bitno je da ti, tako snažni, autorski napravljeni dokumentarni filmovi pokreću vrlo značajne javne debate, ne samo u sredinama gdje su nastali već i šire. Uzbudljive priče, novi autorski glasovi, relevantne diskusije; sve se to može naći u našem izboru 14 dokumentarnih filmova od kojih će četiri u Sarajevu imati svjetsku premijeru. Zanimljivo je da ove godine veliki broj autora dokumentaraca kroz svoje filmove traže odgovor na pitanja šta je to dom i šta ljudima daje osjećaj pripadnosti, bilo da se pri tome fokusiraju na konkretne primjere ili se pojmom doma bave na

jedan širi, više filozofski način. Ko sam ja i ko si ti, šta čini naš identitet? Kako se mi međusobno razlikujemo i zašto je to uopće bitno? Da li ja, kao pojedinac, imam ikakav uticaj na društveni sistem u kojem živim? Naš program uključuje hrabre i provokativne filmove koji se usuđuju postaviti suštinski bitna pitanja i koji gledaoce inspirišu i potiču na daljnje traženje odgovora. Kroz filmove, govorimo o doživljaju doma, pravdi i ekonomskom sistemu, lošim uslovima rada i potrebi za radom uopće, preispitujemo koncept demokracije i ulogu pojedinca u društvu, tragamo za odgovorom na pitanje šta je to sloboda i propitujemo načine na koje se borimo za naša lična prava kao što su pravo da živimo po propisima naše vjere, pravo da istražujemo vlastitu seksualnost, pravo da u okvirima naše porodice bude priznata naša osobnost. Filmovi nam zaista mogu otvoriti oči i pokrenuti razgovore o pitanjima koja su značajna za sve nas. Želimo dobrodošlicu autorima filmova kao i vama, našoj cijenjenoj publici! Radujemo se prilici da se sa vama sretnemo u našem kinu kao i na našem uvijek uzbudljivom Docu Corneru gdje će se svakoga dana okupljati oko 70 aktivista za ljudska prava iz raznih zemalja regiona i Evrope kako bi raspravljali o temama koje su naši odabrani autori tako jasno i hrabro problematizirali u svojim izvrsnim filmovima.

E Cinema, like no other art form, gives us the opportunity to perceive the world in a more profound way, to better understand other people, cultures or specific stories and backgrounds. That perspective can only be expressed truly and with deep understanding when it is provided through an insider’s view on a certain topic. And indeed, a good filmmaker stands always in the middle of the matter, in the middle of reality and utilises her or his artistic eye to observe, process and contemplate on the reality around us. This year’s competition shows us that the documentary production by makers close to home – Southeast Europe and the Southern Caucasus, is matured significantly and became an important part of the European documentary scene. Their films are opening important debates not only among their own communities but internationally as well. Important stories, new voices, relevant questions: all can be found in our selection of fourteen films, of which several will have their world premieres here in Sarajevo. Interestingly, in many documentaries the film makers’ concerns are mostly connected to the notion of home and belonging, in a focused and concrete sense but also in a more broad, philosophical understanding. What is my identity and what is yours? How are we different and how does it mat-

ter? Do I as an individual have any saying about the social system where I live? The selection represents daring, brave and provocative cinema that ignites urgent questions and leaves the audience both inspired and puzzled. We contemplate on the notion of safety and home, justice and banking system, deprivation of working conditions and working possibilities; we question democracy and the role of the individual in the society, we ponder on what freedom is and how we fight for our individual rights, the right to live within religious canons, the right to explore our own sexuality, the right to be an individual within our own family. Come and engage in our debates. Cinema can be indeed an eye opener and a productive catalyst for debates that matter to all of us. Welcome to all selected film makers and to you, the audience! We look forward to meeting you in cinema as well as at our always lively Docu Corner where 70 human rights activists from various countries of the region and Europe, will gather every day to discuss critical topics that our film makers sharply and bravely depict in their remarkable films.

ŽELIMIR ŽILNIK Reditelj (Srbija) / Director (Serbia)

Želimir Žilnik međunarodno je priznat reditelj igranih i dokumentarnih filmova i jedan od začetnika žanra doku-drame. Poznat je po filmovima koji su posvećeni savremenim temama i kritički se osvrću na društvena, politička i ekonomska zbivanja. Tema njegovog prvog dugometražnog filma, RANI RADOVI, s kojim je osvojio nagradu Zlatni medvjed Filmskog festivala u Berlinu, bile su studentske demonstracije 1968. godine. Žilnik sredinom sedamdesetih godina prošlog vijeka napušta Jugoslaviju gdje je bio suočen sa cenzurom. Po povratku u Jugoslaviju osamdesetih godina prošloga vijeka, Žilnik režira nekoliko popularnih televizijskih doku-drama, uključujući drame BRUKLIN GUSINJE i STARA MAŠINA, koje su nagovijestile skori raspad Jugoslavije i buđenje nacionalizama. Tokom devedesetih godina prošlog vijeka proizveo je niz nezavisnih dokumentarnih i igranih filmova o napetostima na Balkanu, uključujući filmove. U nedavnom ciklusu filmova, Žilnik problematizira slom sistema vrijednosti u posttranzicijskim zemljama centralne i istočne Evrope, te probleme s kojima se izbjeglice i imigranti suočavaju u novoj „proširenoj” Evropi. E Želimir Žilnik is an internationally renowned documentary and fiction film director and one of the founders of the docudrama genre.

U filmu DJECA pratimo djecu i adolescente različitih profila tokom njihovog teškog, zbunjujućeg i smiješnog svakodnevnog života, upoznajući se s njihovim stavovima i viđenjima svijeta. U fokusu filma jedinstveni je muzički obrazovni program (superar), koji su pokrenuli Karitas, Bečki koncertni dom i Hor bečkih dječaka, a koji „nevidljivim“ i odbačenim članovima društva pomaže da izrastu u samouvjerene mlade ljude. Zbog prilike da zajedno pjevaju i uče svirati, životi ovih socijalno ugroženih mladih ljudi dobijaju iznenađujuć, uzbudljiv i kreativan karakter.

E In KINDERS we accompany children and adolescents from different backgrounds throughout their difficult, confusing and funny day-to-day lives, and come to know their perspectives and stances. The central theme is the edgy musical education programme ((superar)), founded by Caritas, Wiener Konzerthaus and the Vienna Boysʼ Choir, in which the children are transformed from “invisible” outsiders into self-confident young people. Through their singing together and learning to play musical instruments, the lives of these socially disadvantaged young people also take on an extremely surprising, vibrant and creative dimension.

Gotovo polovina ukupne količine globalno korištenog metala mangana nekada se crpila u gradu Chiatura u zapadnoj Gruziji. Chiatura danas nalikuje postapokaliptičnom gradu duhova. GRAD SUNCA prati živote nekoliko preostalih stanovnika ovoga grada. Zurab, po profesiji nastavnik muzičkog, ogoljava oronule betonske zgrade kako bi ostvario dodatni prihod prodajom željezne armature. Archil je još uvijek zaposlen u rudniku, ali strašću ga ispunjava rad u lokalnom amaterskom pozorištu. Uprkos neuhranjenosti, dvije lokalne sportistkinje i dalje stoički treniraju za naredne Olimpijske igre.

E Up to 50 percent of the world’s manganese, a vital metal across the globe, used to be mined in Chiatura, in western Georgia. Today, it resembles an apocalyptic ghost town. CITY OF THE SUN portrays a few of the remaining inhabitants. Music teacher Zurab dismantles ramshackle concrete buildings by hand and sells the iron girders to make some money on the side. Archil still works in the mine, but his real passion is the local amateur theatre group. Despite being malnourished, two young female athletes train stoically for the next Olympic Games.

Okupacijske, džihadističke trupe ISIS-a su u septembru 2014. započele brutalan napad na kurdski grad Kobane u Siriji. Kurdske jedinice narodne zaštite YPG-a do tada su neporaženom ISIS-u pružile herojski otpor te su nakon 134 dana uličnih borbi i uz pomoć zračnih udara međunarodnih koalicijskih snaga uspjele u potpunosti osloboditi Kobane. Stanovnici Kobanea, koji su utočište od rata pronašli u susjednoj Turskoj, bili su prisiljeni s distance pratiti borbe za svoj grad. Danima, sedmicama i mjesecima stajali su na tursko-sirijskoj granici čekajući vijesti o svojim sinovima, kćerima i rodbini koji su ostali da brane Kobane.

E In September, 2014, the Kurdish Kobanê Canton in Syria, was violently attacked by occupying ISIS gangs. The YPG / YPJ forces showed exemplary resistance against ISIS, who had never been defeated during previous occupations. After 134 days of street fighting and the bombing of coalition planes, the city of Kobanê was liberated. During the war, some of the people of Kobanê escaped and took shelter on the Turkish side of the border, where they had to observe the fighting from afar. They waited for days, weeks and months at the border, where the sounds of war were always present, expecting to hear from their sons, daughters and relatives who were defending the city.

Film OBITELJ prati mladića Mateja tokom deset godina njegovog života. Matej se još kao tinejdžer morao starati o starijem bratu i roditeljima, koji su imali intelektualnih poteškoća. Nakon što je u dvadesetoj godini života i sam postao otac, činilo se kao da će moći zasnovati vlastitu porodicu.

Godinu za godinom trkači iz svih dijelova svijeta učestvuju u jednoj od najtežih i najprestižnijih trka, 246 kilometara dugom Spartatlonu od Atine do Sparte, koji moraju istrčati za manje od 36 sati. Svaki od trkača, među kojima je i reditelj filma Balázs Simonyi, ima vlastiti razlog za učešće u ovom ekstremnom sportskom poduhvatu. Niko od njih ne zna da li će uspjeti završiti trku, ali od ključne im je važnosti da pokušaju ostvariti taj naizgled nemoguć cilj. Film govori o atletama koji testiraju granice vlastitih mogućnosti i pri tome liječe svoju dušu i oslobađaju se ličnih demona.

E Year after year, runners from around the world participate in one of the most prestigious and challenging of races, the Spartathlon – 246km from Athens to Sparta in under 36 hours. The film’s subjects and its director, Balázs Simonyi, each have their own personal reasons for participating in the extreme run. None of them knows if they will ever be able to finish, but they do know that it is crucial for them to try – and possibly accomplish the seemingly impossible. These are everyday athletes who test their limits, heal their souls and release their demons.

Mahmoud je osnivač sirijskog LGBTI pokreta i živi u Berlinu kao izbjeglica. Ono što ih spaja jeste zajednički san da učestvuju na međunarodnom natječaju ljepote kako bi pobjegli od monotonije svakodnevnog života i prestali se osjećati nevidljivim. Hoće li uspjeti ostvariti svoj san, ili će ga izbjeglička kriza i oštre reakcije na homoseksualnost u muslimanskom društvu razbiti u paramparčad?

E Husein, a barber in Istanbul, lives a double life between his conservative family and his gay identity. Mahmoud is the founder of Syria’s LGBTI movement and is a refugee in Berlin. What brings them together is a dream: to participate in an international beauty contest, both as an escape from the confines of their lives and as an answer to their invisibility. Will the dream come true? Or will the refugee crisis and the harsh consequences of being gay in the Muslim world shatter it to pieces?

Međutim, gradske vlasti planiraju u potpunosti uništiti rudnik kako bi ispoštovali relevantna pravila Evropske unije. Ukoliko se njihov plan ostvari, naprasno će biti okončana dugogodišnja rudarska tradicija za koju je lokalna zajednica još uvijek jako vezana, ali za koju vlasti, naizgled, ni najmanje ne mare.

E As coalminers in Petrila go down into the depths of the earth for the last time, artist and ex-miner Ion Barbu is working on his mission of preserving the Romanian town’s mine as a symbol of cultural heritage. But in accordance with EU agreements on the closure of the facility, the authorities are committed to demolishing it. This would bring about an abrupt end to a history with which the mining community still feels deep affinity, but one that does not appear to interest politicians in the slightest.

Dragoslava ima četiri TV aparata, troje unučadi, dvije najbolje prijateljice, i muža s kojim se stalno otima za daljinski upravljač. Ima i vlastitu kolekciju uspomena na sve ključne događaje u skorijoj historiji pet država u kojima je živjela, a da se pri tome nikada nije selila iz svoga stana. Prošla je obuku za izbornog posmatrača i strastveno brani svoje pravo da bude pripadnica manjine, ali njen očaj raste sve više kako se približavaju još jedni prijevremeni izbori.

E Dragoslava has four TV sets, three grandchildren, two best friends, and a husband with whom she fights over a remote control. She keeps her private archive of memories of all major events in recent political history of five countries in which she has lived, without ever moving from her apartment. She is a trained poll monitor, passionate about her right to be in the minority, but more and more desperate as another early election approach.

Dom / Home Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2017, Colour, 40 min, Croatian Režija / Director: Zdenko Jurilj Scenarij / Screenplay: Zdenko Jurilj

Zbog nemogućnosti plaćanja kredita ili režija, uslijed gubitka posla i bolesti, svaka dvadeseta porodica u Hrvatskoj ostaje bez stana ili kuće. Rigorozni zakoni o izvršenju omogućili su bankama i ostalim institucijama da lakše dođu u posjed nekretnine. Kad zakaže sistem, kad se građanin više nema kome obratiti i kad ga beskrupulozna administracija izbacuje iz kuće ili stana, tada u pomoć stižu mladi aktivisti koji svojim tijelima sprečavaju provedbu deložacija. Film kamerama s lica mjesta evidentira mučne scene u kojima kordoni specijalne policije silom odvlače mlade, starce, žene, djecu, a čija je jedina želja ostati živjeti u svom jedinom domu.

E One in five families in Croatia lose their apartment or house due to being unable to pay back credit or keep up with overhead expenses. The rigorous Seizure Law has provides banks and other institutions with an easier way of gaining real estate. When the system fails, when a citizen has nowhere to apply for assistance and when the unscrupulous administration dislodges them from their flats or houses, then young activists arrive to help and with their bodies prevent the execution of the eviction. HOME has recorded grievous scenes from the very places where the cordons of special police use force to drag away children, women, the young and the old... whose one and only wish is to stay and live in their only home.

PLAYING MEN esejistički je dokumentarac o muškarcima s područja Mediterana koji prati njihove obrasce zabave i igre kojih se igraju. Film je snimljen u formi putopisa kroz južnu Evropu (Slovenija, Hrvatska, Italija i Turska) i predstavlja muškarce, mlade i stare, koji se susreću iz istih razloga kao i njihovi pretci, kako bi igrali razne igre. Međutim, za vrijeme snimanja, reditelj filma iznenada zapada u jaku kreativnu krizu te objektiv kamere okreće prema sebi i pretvara film u razigranu posvetu apsurdnim situacijama.

E PLAYING MEN is a documentary essay about the relationships among Mediterranean men and their games. The film takes the form of a travelogue across Croatia, Italy, Slovenia and Turkey, and examines men, young and old, who come together like their ancestors did – to play games. During filming, however, the director suddenly faces a serious creative crisis and turns the camera on himself, turning the film into a playful homage to absurdity.

U svijetu postoji komad odjeće koji je postao skandalozan nakon terorističkih napada u New Yorku 2001. godine. Marama. Velike debate o tome treba li dozvoliti muslimankama da nose maramu na javnim mjestima stalno se vode u svijetu. Sada, s rastom terorističke grupe ISIL, koja se predstavlja kao islamistička i prijeti slobodnom svijetu uništenjem, marama na glavi žene se sve više posmatra kao prijeteća zastava terorizma. U međuvremenu, u postkomunističkoj i postratnoj Bosni i Hercegovini, mlade žene se sve češće odlučuju na pokrivanje kao izraz slobode vjere i uvjerenja, a ponekad i kao izraz pobune protiv kapitalističke vizije slobodne žene. UNDERCOVERED je film koji govori o takvim ženama.

E Following the 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City, one item of clothing has gained a scandalous global reputation: the headscarf. All over the world, a major debate is going on about whether Muslim women should be allowed to wear the headscarf in public. Meanwhile, young women in post-communist, post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina are increasingly embracing the wearing of the hijab as a symbol of freedom of religion and conviction, and sometimes as an act of rebellion against the capitalist vision of female liberation. UNDERCOVERED is a film about some of these women.

Dan ljudskih prava / Human Rights Day

Iako je većina žena širom svijeta ostvarila pravo glasa do kraja pedesetih godina prošlog vijeka (neke čak i decenijama ranije), ženama u Švicarskoj ovo je pravo dato tek dvije decenije kasnije, ranih sedamdesetih. Dok su žene u drugim zemljama slobodno i ravnopravno učestvovale u društvenom, ekonomskom i političkom životu, pa čak i služile kao premijerke (Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir i dr.), u Švicarskoj, u samom srcu Evrope, ne samo da nije bilo političarki već nije bilo ni glasačica. Razlog tome ležao je u činjenici da svaka promjena švicarskog ustava mora biti odobrena na referendumu, te su tako prava švicarskih žena zavisila od onih koji su imali pravo glasa na referendumu održanom 7. februara 1971. godine – muškaraca. Svjesne da je većina švicarskih muškaraca (67%) odbacila promjenu izbornih pravila na referendumu održanom 1959, tamošnje su se žene mobilizirale i započele organizovanu borbu za pravo glasa u svim kantonima, gradovima i selima ove države. Film rediteljice Petre Volpe, BOŽANSKI POREDAK, govori o toj izuzetnoj, dugotrajnoj borbi kroz priču protagonistice Nore, naizgled obične domaćice iz jednog zabačenog švicarskog sela, koja uprkos preprekama i negativnim reakcijama postaje neustrašiva predvodnica borbe za žensko pravo glasa. Volpe u svome filmu istovremeno oslikava konzervativno, patrijarhalno švicarsko društvo i novorođeni emancipacijski ženski pokret aktivan u svim dijelovima zemlje – od najvećeg grada do najmanjeg alpskog sela – čije se članice bore za solidarnost, promjene i jednakost. Nevjerovatno, ali ista ta borba vođena je širom svijeta sve do

20 I HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD 2017

2015. godine kada je Saudijska Arabija postala posljednja zemlja na svijetu (osim Vatikana) koja je ženama dala pravo glasa. Iako se može tvrditi da su se vremena promijenila i da žene danas uživaju veća prava nego ikada ranije, činjenica je da su one i dalje daleko od potpune ravnopravnosti s muškarcima. Uprkos ogromnim uspjesima koje je globalni ženski pokret za ravnopravnost ostvario u posljednjih sto i više godina, žene i djevojčice se u mnogim zemljama svijeta i danas prisiljavaju na maloljetnički brak, prodaju kao radna snaga ili seksualno roblje, ili im se onemogućava obrazovanje i učešće u političkom životu. Osim toga, žene se, između ostalog, i dalje bore da za svoj rad budu plaćene jednako kao muškarci, kao i za besplatnu osnovnu zdravstvenu zaštitu, finansijski pristupačnu dječiju njegu i slobodu od svih formi nasilja. Uspješan kraj njihove borbe još uvijek se ne nazire. U kojoj mjeri su prava žena generalno zaštićena i unaprijeđena tokom proteklih decenija? Koja su ključna pitanja sa kojima se pokreti za žensku ravnopravnost danas suočavaju? Da li smo u SKORIJEM PERIODU svjedoci unapređenja, stagnacije ili čak smanjenja ženskih prava, naročito kada je riječ o pravu na reproduktivnu zaštitu i abortus? Koji je pravi značaj globalnog protestnog ženskog marša održanog u januaru ove godine? Ovo su samo neka od pitanja o kojima želimo razgovarati i na koja želimo potražiti odgovore tokom panel diskusije u okviru Dana ljudskih prava ovogodišnjeg, 23. Sarajevo Film Festivala.

E Although most of the women across the world were given the right to vote by the end of the 1950s (and many in the decades before), it was not until the beginning of the 1970s that women in Switzerland began to enjoy the same right. Prior to that, while in other countries women freely and equally participated in social, economic and political life, even gaining national leadership positions (Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, for example), in Switzerland, at the heart of Europe, there were no female politicians, and neither were there any women voters. This was due to the fact that the Swiss system requires a national referendum for constitutional change; therefore, the rights of Swiss women were at the mercy of those who could vote with ballots cast on February 7, 1971 – men. Aware that the previous referendum on the right of women to vote, held in 1959, was rejected by 67 percent of Swiss men, women in Switzerland began to mobilise and organise across cantons, cities and villages to fight for suffrage.

This outstanding, lengthy struggle is portrayed by director Petra Volpe in THE DIVINE ORDER through the story of Nora, a seemingly ordinary housewife from a remote Swiss village who, despite the obstacles and backlash, becomes a fearless leader for suffragettes. Volpe outlines conservative, patriarchal Swiss society on the one hand; on the other, she examines the new, emancipated movement of women across the country, from the major cities to the smallest Alpine villages, as they demanded solidarity, equality and change. Remarkably, this same fight continued across globe

until 2015, when Saudi Arabia became the last country (with the exception of the State of Vatican City) to grant women the right to vote. Although we can agree that times have changed and women are better off today than ever before, they are still far from having the same rights and opportunities as men. Despite the great strides made by international women’s rights movements over the last century and longer, women and girls in many countries around the world are still today married off while they are still children, forced into labour and sexual slavery through human trafficking, or refused access to education and participation in the political sphere. Further, women are still fighting for equal pay, affordable childcare, free basic healthcare and freedom from all manner of violence, among other issues – and the battle is far from over. To what extent have the rights of women generally improved and advanced in the past decades? What are the key issues facing women’s rights movements today? Are we observing the progress, stagnation or even regression of women’s rights in RECENT years, especially with regard to issues of birth control and the right to abortion? What is the ongoing significance of the Women’s March worldwide protest that was held in January of this year? These are just some of the questions we will tackle and try to answer at this year’s panel debate taking place during Human Rights Day at the 23rd edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival.

Godina je 1971. Mlada domaćica Nora živi s mužem i dva sina u mirnom švicarskom seocetu u koje nisu doprla značajna društvena pomjeranja drugdje započeta 1968. godine. Stanovnici tog sela gotovo da i ne obraćaju pažnju na proteste za zaštitu ljudskih prava, seksualnu revoluciju, omladinu i hipi pokret. Nora je mirna osoba koju svi vole, i ništa od toga je se ne tiče. Međutim, njen život se u potpunosti mijenja nakon što se počne javno boriti za pravo glasa švicarskih žena o kojem bi švicarski muškarci trebali odlučiti na referendumu zakazanom za 7. februar 1971.

22 I HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD 2017

E 1971. Nora is a young housewife who lives with her husband and their two sons in a quaint little village in the Swiss countryside, which is so far untouched by the major social upheavals 1968 has brought about. Protests in support of civil rights, the sexual revolution, and the youth and counterculture movements are barely on the radar in Nora’s village. Her life has not been affected either; she is a quiet person who is liked by everybody – but everything changes when she starts to fight publicly for the right of Swiss women to vote, which Swiss men are due to vote on on 7 February, 1971.

YIHR BH / DocuCorner

Učešće Inicijative mladih za ljudska prava u Bosni i Hercegovini (YIHR BH) na Sarajevo Film Festivalu (SFF) je aktivnost koja je postala tradicionalna i traje već devet godina. Mladi aktivisti imaju priliku učestvovati na projekcijama filmova Takmičarskog dokumentarnog programa na SFF-u i nakon projekcije filmova, na Docu Corneru, diskutovati o glavnim porukama prikazanog filma sa svojim kolegama/cama i autorima filmova. Također, prikazani filmovi često pokrenu diskusiju o osnovnim znanjima o standardima ljudskih prava, postojećim institucionalnim mehanizmima za zaštitu građanskih prava, kao i teme vezane za suočavanje sa prošlošću i tranzicionu pravdu. Ove produktivne diskusije inspirišu mlade aktiviste/ ce o novim načinima i metodama kako doprinijeti ovim važnim i relevantnim temama kroz konkretne akcije. Ciljevi okupljanja mladih na Docu Corneru su: (1) poticati izgradnju povjerenja među mladim ljudima iz različitih etničkih zajednica, koja u konačnici integrira održivu i umreženu grupu aktivista/ca u Bosni u Hercegovini u strukturu Inicijative mladih za ljudska prava u BiH (YIHR BH); i (2) povezuje mlade ljude iz cijele Bosne i Hercegovine s njihovim vršnjacima u Srbiji, Crnoj Gori i Hrvatskoj, uspostavljajući na regionalnom nivou direktni dijalog između etnički podijeljenih mladih ljudi. Od prije dvije godine, mladi ljudi iz Bosne i

24 I HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD 2017

Hercegovine i regije, također, imaju priliku razmjenjivati svoja iskustva i znanja s mladim ljudima iz cijele Evrope koji, također, učestvuju u ovom programu. Ovakva okupljanja mladih ljudi, naročito iz različitih dijelova Bosne i Hercegovine, svakako predstavljaju jedan od početnih koraka ka razbijanju predrasuda među mladim ljudima različitih nacionalnosti, ali, također, doprinose i izgradnji solidarnosti i povjerenja među njima, što je jedan od preduslova za zajedničke aktivnosti koje YIHR BH kontinuirano provodi prije i poslije SFF-a. Regionalna dimenzija SSF-a se očituje i kroz razbijanje predrasuda među mladim ljudima iz različitih zemalja. Učešće na SFF-u im daje mogućnost da razmijene svoja iskustva, definišu sličnosti i da razgovaraju o “tabu” temama (LGTBQ, identiteti, manjine) i da, u stvari, uvide da između njih postoji mnogo više zajedničkih stvari koje ih povezuju, nego onih koje ih razdvajaju. Kroz ovih devet godina saradnje, YIHR BH iskazuje veliku zahvalnost Švicarskoj ambasadi u Bosni i Hercegovini koja je kroz podršku ovom projektu prepoznala važnost ovakvog pristupa i rada s mladim ljudima. YIHR BH je ponosan što je dio velike SFF porodice i raduje se nastavku saradnje kroz rad s mladim ljudima iz cijele Bosne i Hercegovine, Balkana i Evrope. Sarajevo Film Festival – Human Rights Documentary Program and DocuCorner.

E Participation at Sarajevo Film Festival (SFF) is an activity that had become a traditional and it is ongoing for nine years. Young activists have the chance to participate at Human Rights Program at SFF and after the screening, at DocuCorner, to discuss the main issues of the shown film with their colleagues anauthors. In addition, the movies are triggering discussion about basic knowledge of human rights standards, existing institutional mechanisms for citizens’ rights protection and topics related to the facing the past and transitional justice. Those productive discussions are inspiring young activists to search and apply the new ways of contributing to those important and relevant topics through tangible actions. Goals:The project’s purpose is to (1) foster the trust between young people from different ethnic communities, ultimately leading to a sustainable and networked group of activists in BiH integrated into the YIHR BH structure; and (2) connect young people from throughout BiH with their peers in Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia, brokering direct dialog between ethnically divided young people on regional scale. Since two years ago, young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region also have an opportunity to share their experiences and knowledg with young people from entire Europe who are also taking part in this program.

It is important to emphasize importance of such gathering of young people, particularly from the different parts of BiH – this certainly represents a first step towards breaking the prejudice among young people of different national backgrounds, but also building solidarity and trust among them, which is pre-condition for continuous joint activities that YIHR BH conducts before and after SFFOn the other side, a regional dimension of SFF is also reflected through breaking prejudices among young people from different countries. Participation at SFF provides them an opportunity to exchange their experiences, define their similarities, to discuss “taboo” topics among themselves (e.g. minorities, LGTBQ population, identities) and to realize that there are more common things that connect them, rather to separate them).Through these nine years of cooperation,YIHR BH express its gratittude to Swiss Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina as they had recognized importance of such approach in the work with young people. YIHR BH is proud to be a part of the SFF family and is looking forward to continuing its work with young people from around Bosnia and Herzegovina, Balkan region and Europe.
