Dan ljudskih prava
„Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral“, pisao je Bertold Brecht u svojoj slavnoj Operi za tri groša: „prvo hrana, onda moralnost“. Ova izreka se ponekad koristi i na polju ljudskih prava. Zar ljudska prava nisu luksuz za bogate zapadne zemlje gdje građani ne moraju da razmišljaju o svojim primarnim potrebama i gdje da nađu hranu svaki dan? Odgovor je ne. Ljudska prava su primarna potreba, ona su „hrana“. Upravo zbog toga Evropska unija toliko strogo insistira na standardima vladavine prava, kako unutar EU tako i u procesu pridruživanja novih članica. Uzmimo za primjer zdravstvenu zaštitu, temu Dana ljudskih prava na Sarajevo Film Festivalu. Svi želimo i zaslužujemo najbolju zdravstvenu zaštitu. Možda bogate zemlje mogu priuštiti viši standard zdravstvene zaštite od zemalja sa niskim prihodima po glavi stanovnika. Ali u previše
4 I HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD 2021
zemalja zdravstveni sistem trpi zbog korupcije i političkih promašaja koji nemaju nikakve veze sa prihodima po glavi stanovnika. Moramo se boriti protiv tog zla, jer ono ugrožava naša osnovna ljudska prava. U većini zapadnobalkanskih zemalja korupcija u javnom zdravstvu utiče na živote skoro svih građana. Pored obrazovanja, zdravlje je ljudima najvažnija stavka i to s dobrim razlogom. Nije samo veća plata to što pokreće mlade iz regije na odlazak u Zapadnu Evropu, već prije svega osjećaj neizvjesne budućnosti njihovih porodica. Da li će moja djeca imati najbolje moguće obrazovanje? Da li ću imati kvalitetno liječenje ako se razbolim? Zbog toga mi je jako drago što je Dan ljudskih prava na ovogodišnjem Sarajevo Film Festivalu posvećen filmu Kolektiv koji se bavi prijevarom u zdravstvu, nesposobnošću političara da se s tim izbore i važnošću zaštite novinara koji pišu o tome. Zbog toga što moralnost nije luksuz. Već naš hljeb svagdašnji.
Human Rights Day
E „Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral“, wrote Bertold Brecht in his famous Threepenny Opera: „first comes food, then morality“. The saying is sometimes transposed to the fields of human rights. Aren’t human rights a luxury of rich Western countries, where citizens do not have to worry about their primary needs, their daily food?
The answer is no. Human rights are a primary need, they are “food”. That is precisely why the European Union is so strict on the standards for Rule of Law, both within the EU and in the accession process of new member states. Take health care, the theme of this year’s Human Rights Day at the Sarajevo Film Festival. We all want and deserve the best health care. Admittedly, rich countries can afford a higher medical standard than countries with a lower per capita income. But in too many countries, the health care system suffers under corruption and political
failure that has nothing to do with the level of per capita income. We have to fight that evil, a threat to fundamental human rights. In most Western Balkan countries, corruption in the public health system affects the lives of almost all citizens. With education, health is the number one concern for people, and for good reasons. It is not just a higher salary that brings so many young people in this region to move to Western Europe, but above all the feeling of insecurity for their families: will I be able to find the best education possible for my children? Will I be able to find good medical assistance in case of health problems? I therefore welcome very much that this year’s Human Rights Day of the Sarajevo Film Festival is devoted to a film – The Collective – that focusses on health care fraud, the inability of politicians to deal with it, and the importance of protection of journalists who write about these abuses. Because morality is not a luxury. It is our daily bread.

Dokumentarni film kao instrument društvene i političke rasprave
U novopristiglim filmskim ostvarenjima možemo se pohvaliti veoma zrelim filmovima koji angažiraju i potiču na razmišljanje, pa tako sa ponosom predstavljamo šesnaest upečatljivih dokumentaraca u ovogodišnjoj takmičarskoj selekciji. Ovi filmovi odražavaju, komentiraju i angažiraju gledatelje na način koji, dugoročno posmatrano, može dovesti do pozitivnih promjena. Dva bh. autora, oskarovac Danis Tanović i Pulicerom nagrađeni fotograf i kinematograf Damir Šagolj upravo su završili kratak, ali upečatljiv film koji poziva na hitno djelovanje. U svom ostvarenju KAD SMO MI BILI ONI, autori oslikavaju užasnu svakodnevnicu migranata koji su na svom putu ka Zapadnoj Evropi ostali „zaglavljeni“ u Bosni i Hercegovini. Izuzetni filmski esej pod nazivom DISTURBED EARTH što se može prevesti kao „poremećena Zemlja“ autorskog dvojca Kumjane Novakove i Guillerma Carerrasa Candija je sofisticirano autorsko viđenje nošenja sa kolektivnim bolom u ljudskim dušama, umovima i zemlji. Ovo ostvarenje nas upozorava da tragedija genocida u Srebrenici predstavlja realnost svih nas. Film koji otvara ovogodišnji program, brilijantno cinéma verité ostvarenje TVORNICA RADNICIMA Srđana Kovačevića iz Hrvatske, besprijekorno posmatra i propituje san radnika da zadrže tvornicu u svojim rukama i odole kapitalizmu. To je goruća tema, naročito u postsocijalističkim zemljama Evrope! Još jedan opservacijski, angažirajući, i donekle humorističan film je ostvarenje pod nazivom SUNNY, autorice Keti Machavariani iz Gruzije. Ona se vješto fokusira na smirenu, empatičnu anketarku koja provodi zvanično istraživanje o aktuelnim pitanjima iz političkog i građanskog života. Tako možemo vidjeti šta stanovnici Gruzije misle o politici, patriotizmu, vjerskim slobodama i nacionalizmu. Još jedna društveno relevantna, goruća tema obrađena je u filmu RECEPT ZA MRŽNJU Filipa Čolovića iz Srbije; tema je nasilje među različitim grupama mladih huligana. Film je izuzetno 6 I HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD 2021
potresan, čak i šokantan, a u svakom slučaju potiče na razmišljanje s obzirom da se bavi procesom stvaranja i širenja mržnje u društvu. Povod za ovaj film leži u obiteljskog tragediji autora čiji je brat stradao od posljedica nasilja. POMIRENJE, slovenačko debitantsko djelo Marije Zidar vodi nas u Albaniju da se ponovo vratimo, uz veliku dozu uviđavnosti i senzibiliteta, na mogućnosti rješavanja problema krvne osvete koja je već stoljećima prisutna na prostorima Albanije. Ahmet Necdet Cupur iz Turske snima sopstvenu obitelj u impresivnom ostvarenju LES ENFANTS TERRIBLE te prikazuje surovu realnost obitelji u kojoj djeca u adolescentnom dobu, a naročito ženska djeca, trpe ogroman pritisak obitelji i zajednice. Ovdje imamo dramatičan narativ u odlično koncipiranom i vizuelno spektakularnom filmu. Još jedan film koji tjera na razmišljanje dolazi nam iz zemlje sa vrlo skromnim produkcijskim kapacitetima kad je u pitanju kinematografija – Kipra. SVAKE NEDJELJE (EVERY SUNDAY), u režiji Keti Papadema, prati surovu realnost žena sa Filipina koje rade kao njegovateljice starih i bolesnih stanovnika Kipra. Na ovom malom ostrvu, serijski ubica počinje ubijati doseljenice. VOJNIK AHMET (SOLDAT AHMET) u režiji Jannis Lenz prikazuje isječak iz života profesionalnog austrijskog vojnika porijeklom iz Turske koji je pritom i šampion u boksu. Međutim, Ahmetov san je postati glumac. Na sceni, on se suočava sa samim sobom i svojim unutrašnjim demonima. DIVE (DIVAS), očaravajuće debitantsko ostvarenje talentiranog Matea Korosija iz Mađarske fokusira se na život tri zanimljive djevojke koje pohađaju specijalnu srednju školu za one koji su propustili redovno školovanje. Reditelj lucidno - i u skladu sa narativom - koristi jezik društvenih medija i animaciju, postavljajući sebe kao sporednog lika u filmu. Kinematografski uzbudljiv film autorice Marte Popivode pod nazivom PEJZAŽI OTPORA predstavlja poetski i filozofski prikaz 97-godišnjakinje iz Srbije koja se borila protiv fašizma i vodila pokret
Documentary Film as an Instrument of Social and Political Discussion
otpora u logoru Auschwitz. Ovaj potresni, vizuelno profinjen i lucidno osmišljen film vraća nas u prošlost, ali istovremeno dovodi u pitanje Evropu današnjice. Esejistički i intimni film TRAŽEĆI KONJE (LOOKING FOR HORSES) bosanskohercegovačkoholandskog autora Stefana Pavlovića, bavi se autorovom potragom za sopstvenim identitetom kroz priču o gluhom i usamljenom ribaru Zdravku iz Hercegovine. Uz mnogo šarma i razigranosti, ovaj duboki ali i poetični film bavi se granicom između sceniranja i posmatranja. Među osam svjetskih premijera na ovogodišnjem festivalu našao se i jedan izuzetan kratki film pod nazivom ISTI SAN (THE SAME DREAM) autora Vlada Petrija iz Rumunije. Film na veoma uzbudljiv kinematografski način stavlja u fokus trenutke iz života jednog rumunskog vojnika i jedne afganistanske djevojke. Jukstapozicija prizora rata i kadrova iz svakodnevnog života vodi nas čas u Afganistan, čas u Rumuniju. Još jedan dragulj u oblasti kratkog filma je HORIZONT vizualne umjetnice Tanje Deman iz Hrvatske. Ona suprotstavlja nevjerovatnu, nestvarnu ljepotu Jadrana ekološkoj katastrofi, postavljajući relevantna pitanja. BOSANSKI BROADWAY Jasmine Beširević izvlači na površinu nade i snove mlade generacije glumaca. Kakve ih prilike čekaju ako ostanu kod kuće, i da li bi svi trebali sanjati isti san – da zauvijek odu iz zemlje? ŽŽŽ (ŽURNAL O ŽELIMIRU ŽILNIKU), koji potpisuje iskusni dokumentarista Janko Baljak iz Srbije ponovo propituje izuzetno plodonosan kreativni svijet poznatog, i za svoje vrijeme buntovnog, autora Želimira Žilnika koji je bio pokretačka sila jugoslovenskog „crnog talasa“. Žilnik je još uvijek jedan od najinspirativnijih marljivih sineasta i mislilaca naše regije. Naš tradicionalni Docu Press Corner na Festivalskom trgu će i ove godine biti okupljalište za autore i novinare, radoznalu publiku i aktiviste za ljudska prava. Dobro nam došli!
E The new harvest of films yielded very mature, engaging, and compelling films, and we proudly present sixteen powerful documentaries in this year’s competition. The films reflect, comment, and give the viewer food for thought that may well, in the long run, bring about positive change.
Two Bosnians, Oscar winning director Danis Tanovic and Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and cinematographer Damir Sagolj just finished a short, compelling film that calls for urgent action. In their film WHEN WE WERE THEM, they depict the horrible reality of migrants stuck in Bosnia and Herzegovina on their way to Western Europe. The remarkable film essay DISTURBED EARTH by Kumjana Novakova and Guillermo Carerras Candi is a sophisticated author’s take on dealing with the collective pain of people’s soul, mind, and soil. This warns us that the tragedy of Srebrenica genocide is reality of all of us. Our opening film, the brilliant cinéma verité FACTORY TO THE WORKERS by Srdjan Kovacevic from Croatia, meticulously observes and questions the dream of workers to keep their factory in their hands and withstand capitalism. A burning topic especially in the post-socialist part of Europe! Another observational, captivating and somewhat humorous film is Sunny by Keti Machavariani from Georgia. She skilfully focuses on the calm, sympathetic interviewer that conducts an official research on acute political and civic issues. We observe what Georgians think about politics, patriotism, religious freedom, and nationalism. Another socially relevant and burning topic is explored in RECIPE FOR HATE by Filip Colovic from Serbia; it deals with violence among various groups of young hooligans. It is a deeply disturbing, even shocking, and thought-provoking film that observes the process of creating and spreading hate in society. The film is initiated by the personal case of lethal violence against the filmmaker’s brother. RECONCILLIATION, the Slovenian debut by Marija Zidar, takes us to Albania to re-visit and re-think, HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD 2021 I 7
with great insight and sensibility, options for solving the pressing issues of the infamous blood feud present in that territory for centuries. Ahmet Necdet Cupur from Turkey films his own family in the impressive LES ENFANTS TERRIBLE and reveals the harsh reality of a family where adolescent children, especially female, are under enormous pressure from the family and community. A dramatic narrative in a well-structured and visually stunning film. Another thought-provoking film comes from a country with a very small production capacity – Cyprus. EVERY SUNDAY, directed by Keti Papadema, follows the harsh reality of Filipino women who are nursing most of the elderly and sick Cypriots. On this small island, a serial killer starts murdering migrant females.
Among eight world premieres, there is a remarkable short film, THE SAME DREAM by Vlad Petri from Romania, that re-examines, in an exciting cinematic manner, moments in life of a Romanian soldier and of an Afghan girl. Juxtaposing images of war with shots of everyday life, the film takes us back and forth from Afghanistan to Romania. Another short cinematic gem is HORIZON by visual artist Tanja Deman from Croatia. She sets the incredible, surreal beauty of the Adriatic Sea against ecological disaster, posing relevant questions. BOSNIAN BROADWAY by Jasmina Besirevic, brings to the surface hopes and dreams of a young generation of actors. What chances they have at home, or should they all have the same dream – to leave their homeland for good?
SOLDAT AHMET by Jannis Lenz depicts a slice of life of a professional Austrian soldier with Turkish roots who is also a boxing champion. Yet Ahmet’s dream is to become an actor. On stage, he comes face to face with himself and confronts his own demons. DIVAS, the captivating debut by the talented Mate Korosi from Hungary focuses on the life of three engaging girls who attend a special secondary school for those who missed the regular education. The director lucidly, and appropriately concerning the narrative, uses the language of social media and animation, positioning himself as a side-character in the film.
ŽŽŽ (JOURNAL ABOUT ŽELIMIR ŽILNIK), made by the experienced documentarian Janko Baljak from Serbia, re-examines the extremely potent, creative world of the well-known and at the time rebellious author Zilnik, who was the moving force of the Yugoslavian Black Wave movement. Zilnik is still one of the most inspirational, hardworking cineastes and thinkers of our region.
The cinematically exciting LANDSCAPES OF RESISTANCE is a poetic and philosophical take by Marta Popivoda on the incredible past of a remarkable 97-year-old woman from Serbia who was an antifascist fighter and the leader of the Resistance movement in Auschwitz. This compelling, visually refined, and lucidly conceptualized film recalls the time of the past but also questions Europe today. The essayistic and intimate LOOKING FOR HORSES by Bosnian-Dutch Stefan Pavlovic, deals with the search of the filmmaker’s own identity while focusing on a deaf and lonely fisherman Zdravko from Herzegovina. With charm and playfulness, this cerebral and poetic film explores the line between staging and observing.

Croatia, 2021, Colour, 105 min, Croatian Režija / Director: Srđan Kovačević Scenarij / Screenplay: Srđan Kovačević
Hrvatska, 2005. Tvornicu alatnih strojeva zauzimaju njeni uposlenici i postavljaju jedini primjer uspjele radničke okupacije u postsocijalističkoj Evropi. Deceniju nakon tog prelomnog događaja, buntovni radnik koji je predvodio radničku okupaciju pokušava spriječiti gašenje proizvodnje u okupiranoj tvornici. Održavanje proizvodnje zavisi od spremnosti radnika da se žrtvuju kako bi zaštitili svoja radna mjesta od prijetnji bešćutne ekonomije. Reditelj Srđan Kovačević pet godina je dokumentovao lične priče radnika koji se bore da svoju nekada prestižnu tvornicu održe na životu. Pitanje da li slogan “tvornice radnicima” može zadržati aktuelnost ili se radi o čistoj utopiji ostaje otvoreno i čitavu deceniju nakon okupacije tvornice.
E Croatia, 2005. A machine tool plant is taken over by its workers. The incident becomes the only successful example of a factory occupation in post-socialist Europe. Ten years after this revolutionary turning point, the rebellious employee behind the occupation now strives to prevent a production shutdown. Sustainability depends on the sacrifices of the workers protecting their livelihood from the threats of a ruthless economy. For five years, director Srđan Kovačević follows the inside story of the people who struggle to keep the once prestigious factory running. A decade later, the question remains: can the slogan “Factory to the Workers” be kept alive, or is it just a utopian dream?

Isti san / The Same Dream Romania, 2021, Black and white, 29 min, English, Romanian Režija / Director: Vlad Petri Scenarij / Screenplay: Vlad Petri
Tokom svoje prve misije u Afghanistanu, rumunski vojnik nailazi na ranjenu afghanistansku djevojčicu i njihovi se životi od tog trenutka prepliću. Film, zasnovan na istinitom događaju, na granici je između dokumentarnog i igranog žanra, a priča priču o vojniku pogođenom brutalnošću rata i djevojčici koja se zatekla na pogrešnom mjestu u pogrešno vrijeme. Reditelj u filmu kombinuje arhivske snimke najrecentnijeg oružanog sukoba u Afghanistanu sa video zapisima iz ličnog arhiva kako bi ispričao priču o okrutnosti rata i iz perspektive osvajača i iz perspektive civila zarobljenih u ratnim uslovima.
E A Romanian soldier during his first mission in Afghanistan comes across a wounded Afghan girl and their lives become intertwined from that moment forward. This film, based on a true story, bordering between documentary and fiction, tells the story of a soldier struck by the brutality of war and that of a young girl who found herself in the wrong place, at the wrong time. The director combines archival footage from the most recent war in Afghanistan with videos from his personal archive, in a film about the cruelty of war from the perspective of both the invaders and that of the civilians trapped within.

Za organizatore i učesnice natjecanja to je prilika da se redovno okupljaju tokom svog jedinog neradnog dana u sedmici, redefinišu svoj položaj migrantskih radnica u kiparskom društvu i obnove vlastiti individualizam. U međuvremenu, policija traga za serijskim ubicom čija su meta strane radnice i njihove kćeri. Budući da se među žrtvama ubistva nalaze i četiri Filipinke, zajednica se okuplja da im odaju počast.

E A group of Filipina domestic workers in Cyprus are getting ready for a beauty pageant organised by their local community. The organisers and participants use it as an opportunity to gather once a week – on their only day off – as well as to redefine their position as migrant working women in Cypriot society and reclaim their individuality. Meanwhile, the unprecedented case of a serial killer who targets foreign female workers and their young daughters emerges. As four of the victims are Filipina, the community comes together to react to the crime and pay their respects to the victims.
Austria, 2021, Colour, 76 min, German, Turkish Režija / Director: Jannis Lenz Scenarij / Screenplay: Jannis Lenz
Ahmet je poslušni sin turskih imigranata, izdržljivi bokserski šampion i vjerni vojnik koji je posvetio život “služenju austrijskom narodu”. U životu se naučio prilagođavati i ispunjavati tuđa očekivanja. Želja da opet bude vjeran sebi navodi Ahmeta da ispuni svoj davnašnji san i počne pohađati časove glume gdje ga ohrabruju da istraži i ispolji vlastite slabosti. Ali to je lakše reći nego učiniti. Ahmet od djetinjstva nije plakao, a što se više trudi odbaciti tradicionalne rodne uloge, tim njegova borba sa samim sobom postaje sve teža.
E Ahmet is the dutiful son of Turkish immigrants, a tough boxing champion and a diligent soldier, who has dedicated himself to “serving the people of Austria.” Throughout his life, he has learned to adapt and conform to other people’s expectations. The desire to feel like himself again pushes Ahmet to pursue an old dream and enrol in acting lessons, where he is encouraged to connect with his own vulnerability. But this is easier said than done.

Pejzaži otpora / Landscapes of Resistance Serbia, France, Germany, 2021, Colour, 95 min, Serbian Režija / Director: Marta Popivoda Scenarij / Screenplay: Ana Vujanović, Marta Popivoda
Film PEJZAŽI OTPORA bilježi putovanje kroz sjećanja antifašističke borkinje Sonje (97), jedne od prvih partizanki u Jugoslaviji, koja je bila i među vođama pokreta otpora u Auschwitzu. Dok Sonja priča, putujemo kroz pejzaže njene revolucionarne mladosti – šume i planine Srbije i blatnjavi teren Auschwitza, zabilježene onako kako izgledaju danas – kao i kroz njen mali stan u centru Beograda, gdje živi s mužem i mačkom. Kao sjajna pripovjedačica, Sonja je u stanju da priča o događajima iz prošlosti bez “naknadne pameti”, čime nas direktno prenosi u tu specifičnu atmosferu i način razmišljanja koji su iznjedrili antifašistički otpor u Jugoslaviji.
E LANDSCAPES OF RESISTANCE traces a journey through the memories of ninety-seven-year-old anti-fascist fighter Sonja, one of the first female partisans in Yugoslavia, who was also among the leaders of the resistance at Auschwitz. As Sonja speaks, we travel through the landscapes of her revolutionary youth as they exist in the present – the Serbian forests and mountains and the muddy terrain of Auschwitz – as well as her tiny Belgrade home, where she lives with her husband and cat. Since Sonja is a great storyteller, capable of telling about past events without hindsight, she brings us directly into the singular atmosphere and mindset that gave birth to anti-fascist resistance.

Potreba za mržnjom / Recipe for Hate Serbia, 2020, Colour, 81 min, Serbo-Croatian, Serbo-Croatian Režija / Director: Filip Čolović Scenarij / Screenplay: Filip Čolović
Intimna ispovijest reditelja o gubitku brata koji je svirepo ubijen u tuči ispred jednog beogradskog splava. Kroz ovaj i druge slične slučajeve u kojima su na razne načine, bez ikakvog razloga, stradali ljudi, reditelj istražuje korijene tog bezrazložnog nasilja. Potreba za mržnjom je dokumentarac o tome kako se stvara i širi mržnja i kako smo, kao društvo, lako pristali na nasilje koje nas okružuje.
E RECIPE FOR HATE is director Filip Čolović’s intimate story about the loss of his younger brother, who was killed in a brutal fight in front of one of Belgrade’s bars along the river. Through this and several similar incidents, in which people lost their lives for no reason, Čolović searches for the roots of violence and hate in our society. A documentary about the process of creating and spreading the hate and how we, as a society, have complied easily with the violence that surrounds us.

Horizont / Horizon Croatia, 2021, Colour, 25 min, English Režija / Director: Tanja Deman Scenarij / Screenplay: Tanja Deman
Intimna priča o moru u doba ekološke krize. U kolektivnoj imaginaciji morska pučina i daleki izolirani otoci mjesta su čežnje, kontemplacije, bijega, pa i spasa. No, mogu li ona još uvijek ponuditi bijeg u vremenu globalnog zatopljenja i zagađenja? Ovaj filmski esej, snimljen na najudaljenijem izoliranom otoku Jadrana, posmatra praiskonski morski pejzaž i slojevite ekološke promjene mora koje ga okružuje.
16 I HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD 2021
E An intimate story about the sea in the midst of an ecological crisis. In the collective imagination, the open sea and its isolated islands have always been a place of longing, contemplation, escape, even salvation. But can these places still provide escape in a time of global warming and pollution? Shot on the remotest and most isolated island in the Adriatic, this film essay observes the primordial seascape and the layered environmental changes that surround it.
Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, 2021, Colour, 82 min, Albanian Režija / Director: Marija Zidar Scenarij / Screenplay: Marija Zidar
Osamnaestogodišnja djevojka ubijena je u ogorčenoj porodičnoj svađi u planinama Albanije. Njen ožalošćeni otac izložen je pritisku lokalnog biskupa i predsjednika jedne nevladine organizacije iz glavnog grada ne samo da uhapšenom ubici i njegovoj porodici ponudi hrišćanski oprost već i da se, u skladu s Kanunom, vjekovnim plemenskim kodom ponašanja, izmiri s njima.
E An eighteen-year-old woman is killed in a bitter family feud in the Albanian highlands. Her bereaved father is torn by pressure – on the one hand from a local bishop and on the other from an NGO chairman from the capital – not only to forgive the imprisoned killer and his family, as a Christian, but to reconcile with them, as Kanun, the age-old tribal code, once required.

Dive / Divas Hungary, 2021, Colour, 80 min, Hungarian Režija / Director: Máté Kőrösi Scenarij / Screenplay: Máté Kőrösi, Eszter Angyalosy, Alexandra Láng, Gelléri Pál Gáspár
Szani, Tina i Emese, ili “dive”, kako same sebe vole nazivati, dvadesetogodišnjakinje su koje satima mogu pričati o kozmetičkim preparatima, odjeći i profilnim fotografijama. Mladi reditelj Máté odluči ih pratiti svojom kamerom dok ne diplomiraju kako bi otkrio šta se krije ispod njihove savršene šminke. Učeći jedna od druge, one počinju sazrijevati i ponašati se kao odrasle osobe.
E Szani, Tina and Emese – or, as they call themselves, the Divas – are three twenty-year-old women who can talk for hours about make-up, clothes or profile pictures. Máté, a young director, enters the scene, following them with his camera until their graduation, to find out what is hidden behind their perfect make-up. Meanwhile, they learn from each other, all taking steps towards adulthood.

Šesnaest mladih glumaca odabrano je učestvovati u brodvejskom mjuziklu koji etablirani američki umjetnici postavljaju u Bosni i Hercegovini. Mnogi od njih sanjaju o karijeri izvan ovih prostora i svi kreću u probe s velikim entuzijazmom i očekivanjima. Međutim, kako se bliži premijera, njihovo raspoloženje se mijenja jer postaju svjesni da ih čeka povratak u “običan” život.
E Sixteen young actors have been selected to participate in the Broadway musical that established American artists are putting on in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bivša nastavnica Sunny za život zarađuje intervjuišući ljude za potrebe različitih društvenih istraživanja, a taj posao jedino je što je spašava od potpune samoće i omogućava joj da ima kakav-takav društveni život.

Turkey, France, Germany, 2021, Colour, 93 min, Turkish, Arabic Režija / Director: Ahmet Necdet Çupur Scenarij / Screenplay: Ahmet Necdet Çupur
U jednom selu na sjeveroistoku Turske Mahmut se želi razvesti od svoje tek vjenčane supruge. Istovremeno, njegova sestra Zeynep upisuje javnu srednju školu i zapošljava se u fabrici. Protivno željama njihovog oca, Zeynep želi otići iz sela i upisati fakultet. Njihove želje postat će okosnica sukoba u njihovoj konzervativnoj porodici, ali i zajednici koja nije navikla da ljudi žele ono što žele Mahmut i Zeynep. Intiman film njihovog starijeg brata Ahmeta Necdeta Çupura, koji je napustio selo prije dvadeset godina kako bi upisao studij, LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES je priča o međugeneracijskom sukobu, kao i sukobu između prošlosti i sadašnjosti.
E In a village in the south east of Turkey, Mahmut wants to divorce his new wife. At the same time, his sister Zeynep enrols in an open high school and takes a job in a factory. Against her father’s wishes, Zeynep wants to leave the village and eventually attend university. The siblings’ demands become the centre of conflict in their conservative family and community, who are not used to what Mahmut and Zeynep strive for. Intimately captured by their elder brother Ahmet Necdet Çupur, who left the village twenty years ago to pursue his studies, LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES is a story of clashes among generations and between the past and the present.

Looking for Horses Bosnia and Herzegovina, Netherlands, France, 2021, Colour, 88 min, Bosnian, English Režija / Director: Stefan Pavlović Scenarij / Screenplay: Stefan Pavlović
LOOKING FOR HORSES film je o prijateljstvu između filmskog autora i ribara koji je izgubio sluh tokom rata u Bosni i Hercegovini nakon čega se povukao na jezero gdje vodi usamljenički život. Filmski autor, čiji su roditelji porijeklom iz BiH, s mukom govori maternji jezik zbog toga što izraženo muca. Uprkos njihovim govornim i slušnim ograničenjima, dok dijele život kraj jezera punog velikih somova, okruženog divljim konjima, tišinom i opasnim olujama sa grmljavinom, između mladića i ratnog veterana razvija se snažna veza. Dok za ribara jezero simbolizira bijeg od podijeljene zemlje, zemlje rata, za filmskog autora ono predstavlja povratak tom razorenom mjestu, domovini njegovih roditelja.
E LOOKING FOR HORSES is about a friendship between the filmmaker and a fisherman who lost his hearing during the Bosnian War and retreated to a lake to live in solitude. The filmmaker, the son of Bosnian parents, struggles to communicate as he lost his mother tongue due to a heavy stutter. Despite their speech and hearing limitations, a bond develops between the young man and the veteran as he shares his world of the lake: full of large catfish, wild horses, vast silences and dangerous thunderstorms. Whereas for the fisherman the lake stands for a withdrawal from a fractured country, a land of war, for the filmmaker it means precisely a return to that broken place – the land of his parents.

Okruženi minskim poljima i ruševinama, zaostalim iz rata u Bosni i Hercegovini, hiljade migranata zaglavljeno je u sjevernom dijelu te ratom razorene zemlje. Šatori koje podižu u šumama ili napuštenim zgradama iz socijalističkog perioda ne mogu ih zaštititi od oštre bosanske zime. Teško dolaze do hrane, odjeće, ogrjevnog drveta i sredstava za komunikaciju, ali ništa nije tako teško kao svakodnevno kršenje njihovih ljudskih prava. U ovom vizuelnocentričnom filmu, Danis Tanović i Damir Šagolj prikazuju svu brutalnost i nehumanost života ljudi “u pokretu” koji pokušavaju doći do Evropske unije u nadi da će tamo ostvariti bolji život. Postavlja se pitanje: da li se sjećamo vremena kad smo mi bili oni?
E Surrounded by minefields and destruction from the Bosnian war and not welcome by everyone, thousands of migrants are still stranded in the northern part of the war-torn country. Their flimsy tents set up in the woods or abandoned socialist era buildings offer no protection from the harsh Bosnian winter. The food, clothes, firewood and communication are problems but nothing compared to the serious and constant violation of basic human rights these migrants are subjected to on a daily basis. In this visually driven film, Danis Tanović and Damir Šagolj show the brutality and inhumanity of the everlasting story of people “on the move” trying to reach the EU, where they are hoping for a better life. The question “do we remember “when we were them” is asked.

Road movie dokumentarac kroz poluvjekovnu filmografiju Želimira Žilnika. Ali i putovanje kroz historiju Jugoslavije, zemlje koje više nema. Specifičnim stilom dokudrame koji je godinama gradio, Žilnik je snimajući niskobudžetne filmove decenijama uspio da ostane angažovan i hrabar ali iznad svega slobodan. Pratimo napore njegove ekipe da završe film SLOBODA ILI STRIP koji je prije 50 godina cenzura zaplijenila a koji je nedavno slučajno pronađen.

13. Dan ljudskih prava
Pod pokroviteljstvom Kraljevine Nizozemske, ove godine će se održati 13. izdanje Dana ljudskih prava u sklopu 27. Sarajevo Film Festivala. U okviru programa, u utorak, 17.08.2021. u multipleksu Cineplexx Sarajevo bit će održana projekcija filma COLECTIV u režiji Alexandera Nanaua, koja će poslužiti kao osnova za paneldiskusiju nakon projekcije filma. Panel-diskusija će staviti fokus na temu “Društvo i pojedinac – odgovornost koja nestaje?”, a moderator panela će biti Robert Zuber, novinar i reditelj. Film će biti dostupan i u verziji prilagođenoj slijepoj i slabovidnoj publici uz audio deskripciju na B/H/S jeziku koju je festival obezbijedio u saradnji sa udruženjem “Novis”.
Društvo i pojedinac – nestanak osjećaja odgovornosti?
Film COLLECTIVE Alexandera Nanaua – koji će publici Sarajevo Film Fest-ivala biti predstavljen u okviru programa Dan ljudskih prava – postavlja pitanje na koje je sve teže pronaći odgovor. U kojoj mjeri se društva odgovorno odnose prema pojedincima kao konstituentima zajednica, naročito
22 I HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD 2021
u situacijama u kojima se, usljed korupcije ili odbacivanja odgovornosti onih koji imaju moć da ih zaštite, nekom pojedincu nanosi nepravda? Slučaj predstavljen u Nanauovom filmu lako se može označiti kao jedna od onih stvari koje se dešavaju u zemljama Istočne Evrope s kratkom demokratskom tradicijom. Međutim, slični slučajevi mogu se pronaći i širom zapadnoevropskih demokratija u primjerima beskrupuloznog ponašanja bogatih i moćnih pojedinaca koji su spremni na sve kako bi ostvarili ličnu dobit. Život sam po sebi, u ovom slučaju izgubljen, postaje predmet matematičke kalkulacije kolateralne štete koja se, u poređenju s ličnim profitom, često smatra prihvatljivom. Dakle, u kojem tačno trenutku smo postali društvo sa globalnim problemima, u kojem je sudbina pojedinaca, kao i odgovornost za nepravdu koja im je nanesena, postala manje bitna? I da li je uopće moguće usredsrediti pažnju na sudbinu pojedinaca bez kojih društvena zajednica ne bi postojala?
13th Human Rights Day
E Under the auspices of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the 2021 Sarajevo Film Festival will organize its 13th consecutive Human Rights Day programme. The programme will include a screening on 17 August 2021 of Alexander Nanau’s COLLECTIVE. The screening at multiplex Cineplexx Sarajevo will be followed by a panel discussion centered on the topic ‘’Society and the individual - a perishing responsibility?’’. The discussion will be moderated by journalist and director Robert Zuber. The film will be accessible to visually impaired audience. Audio description in B/H/S will be provided in collaboration with Association “Novis”.
Society and the Individual – A Perishing Responsibility?
Presented to Sarajevo Film Festival audiences as part of this year’s Human Rights Day programme, Alexander Nanau’s COLLECTIVE raises an increasingly urgent question that remains unanswered: To what extent do societies as collectives in fact act responsibly towards the individuals who comprise them – particularly when it comes to forms of injustice or accident caused by non-action on
the part of those who should be in control of such incidents, or as a result of their corrupt actions? The case presented in Nanau’s film might easily be labelled as “one of those things” that happen in the new Eastern European democracies, with their few years of democratic tradition. Similar cases can be found, however, across the Western European democracies, in examples of the unscrupulous behaviour of the rich and powerful who stop at nothing in the quest for personal profit. In such cases, life becomes no more than a mathematical calculation of collateral damage in the pursuit of profit – and it would seem that, measured against profit levels, such “damage” is very often deemed acceptable. When did we become a society – indeed a global society with what has become a global problem – in which the fate of the individual has become so insignificant, and the responsibility for the injustice done to those individuals so diminished? And is it even possible to switch the focus back to the fate of individuals in a society that would not exist without them? Robert Zuber

U požaru koji je 2015. godine izbio u bukureštanskom noćnom klubu Colectiv poginulo je 27, a povrijeđeno 180 osoba. Mnogi od povrijeđenih naknadno su umrli u bolnicama iako njihove povrede nisu bile opasne po život. Jedan doktor otkriva istinu timu istraživačkih novinara koji postepeno počnu razotkrivati široko rasprostranjenu korupciju u zdravstvu. Kada novi ministar zdravstva preuzme funkciju, on novinarima nudi neuobičajeno dobar pristup i uvid u vlastite napore da reformira korumpirani sistem i probleme s kojima se pri tome suočava.
E In 2015, a fire at Bucharest’s Colectiv club leaves 27 dead and 180 injured. Soon, more burn victims begin dying in hospitals from wounds that were not life-threatening. Then a doctor blows the whistle to a team of investigative journalists. One revelation leads to another as the journalists start to uncover vast health care fraud. When a new health minister is appointed, he offers unprecedented access to his efforts to reform the corrupt system but also to the obstacles he faces. Following journalists, whistle-blowers, burn victims, and government officials, COLLECTIVE is an uncompromising look at the impact of investigative journalism at its best.
