Karasevdah: Srebrenica Blues
Director: Saidin Salkic
Bosnia and Herzegovina
A young man returns to Srebrenenica a dozen years after he left as a boy, a dozen years after the devastation of war, a dozen years after the greatest genocide in Europe since World War II.
Karasevdah is the debut film of young Melbourne director, Saidin Salkic. It is a lyrical record of his return to Srebrenica twelve years after the massacre that destroyed his family and led to his arrival in Australia.
The film premiered in Melbourne in July 2007 with with the support of the GRN. The premiere was opened by Professor Marcia Langton, Chair of Indigenous Studies at the University of Melbourne, and Professor Richard Larkins, Vice Chancellor of Monash University.
This exceptional film may inspire you to support the work of other young members of the arts' community in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One way of doing so is by making a financial contribution to the Youth Arts Festival in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Tax deductible donations to the festival can be made via cheque to the Global Reconciliation Network, Monash University. Visit our Donations and Support page for details.
Passabe
Directors: James Leong and Lynn Lee
Timor Leste/Singapore/East Timor 2005, 111mins
Are attempts to reconcile a guilty past possible without justice?
In 1999, the remote border village of Passabe was the site of a horrific massacre emerging from tensions surrounding East Timor's bid for independence. Banned just three hours before it was due to play at the Jakarta Film Festival, this touching yet humorous film documents the personal struggles of warweary people.
