Jasminko Halilović is the author of the project “Childhood in War”, which in June 2010 published an online call to people who grew up partly during the war to send their short answer to the question “What does a Childhood in War mean to your?”. The goal was to make a book that will present various aspects of this experience from a large number of short answers. In January, the book “Childhood in War: Sarajevo 1992-1995” was published. In February 2015, Halilovic gathered a team to create a collection of the future Museum of War Childhood . A collection of personal items, stories, audio and video testimonies, photographs, letters, drawings and other documents that illustrate the experience of growing up in the war are presented at the Museum of War Childhood. Every item shown within a museum exhibition or within guest exhibitions is followed by the story of its owner.
Documentary consisting of several stories about the siege of Sarajevo. Shot without narration and interviews – it shows everyday struggle and getting on with life of Sarajevo citizens in a devastating war-time.
In Sarajevo in 1992, a group of friends believed that their nafaka, fate, is waiting for them. They have enough humor and courage to believe in freedom and happiness.
Zlata Filipovic was a twelve-year-old girl during the siege of Sarajevo in 1992. The teacher persuaded her to begin to write a diary based on Anne Frank’s diary. In the diary, from her perspective, she recorded the daily life during the war. The first edition was published already in 1993, which brought Zlata international recognition and enabled her and her family to evacuate from Sarajevo.
Photographer and director from Virginia, Roger M. Richards was the witness of the siege of Sarajevo in the period from 1992 to 1995, and he decided to present his experience in the documentary made in 2016. In this film we have the opportunity to hear the experiences of people who survived the war in Sarajevo, as well as people from Richard’s photographs that today live some new lives shaped by the experience of a city under siege.
