The documentary's merit is that it doesn't give artificial primacy to any of the themes; on the contrary – it shows how, in that era of profound social transformations, they were all simultaneously in the limelight, as had it an insidious plan....See more details
The title of Kumjana Novakova's film, a second one about the war crimes committed in Bosnia, and which she prefers to call a "performative research" rather than a documentary, is misleading.

Yousef Srouji's film is short, personal, and powerful, using materials that make up the very fabric of his childhood to probe the seemingly eternal conflict between Israel and Palestine. During the second Intifada in the early 2000s, the home-movies shot by Yousef's parents suddenly become politically charged, turning into unsettling documents of a family's efforts to protect their domestic universe from the ever-tightening noose of outside dangers....See more details

That very same month sees the beginning of the Siege of Sarajevo. What we see on the screen are images recorded in the heat of the conflict – images that oscillate between samples of journalism under imminent danger and documentary-like fragments exhibiting an incipient analytical stance....See more details
