UNSAFE GORAŽDE
UNSAFE GORAŽDE (2022) is a documentary film on city of Goražde and its inhabitants who survived the Bosnian war defending their homes against all odds , while the other cities along the Drina river fell to the enemy.
The film follows Fuad Fule Bavčić, a retired economist and war veteran who spent the war years in the besieged city before joining his family in Sarajevo in 1996. What emerges from the film is a collective story of courage that ultimately speaks of love for family, city, and country.
The film is part of the UNSAFE GORAŽDE project that Kuma International with Enrico Dagnino, Fuad Fule Bavčić and Quentin Fagart initiated in 2017 with the aim to collect war memories and testimonies, explore archives and interview war veterans and different members of the civil society who bravely defended their city from aggression.
Besides the documentary film, a book and a photo exhibition will premiere in Goražde in May 2022, marking 30 years since the beginning of the siege.
Film premiere: May 9, 2022 at 20:00, Centar za kulturu Goražde
Exhibition opening: May 10, 2022 at 18:00, Gradska Galerija Goražde
We wouldn’t have reached this final stage without a grant by the International Relief Fund for Organisations in Culture and Education 2021 of the German Federal Foreign Office, the Goethe-Institut and other partners as part of a project called “Rememory 1992-2022: 30 years of remembrance through art in Bosnia and Herzegovina” that we are running together with our partner Brodac Gallery.
