Sarajevo Film Festival founded the „Dealing with the Past“ Program in 2016. with the aim of initiating honest dialogue on recent events from the region's past. For the second year already, FES SOE joined the Dealing with the Past program in August and are continuing our cooperation for this special edition in February.
In practical terms, we intend to start dialogue on the subject through curated screenings, as well as through the systematic collection of stories, documents and memories that will unveil many aspects of the past from different vantage points – whether imbued primarily with pain or riddled with nostalgia. It is from this open source that filmmakers and cinema experts will draw inspiration, and from which they will weave stories for larger audiences with all the urgency and power that cinema offers. With this in mind, we believe that Dealing with the Past can lead to cinema that achieves its ultimate, perhaps noblest aim – cinema that opens a door to genuine empathy, to peacebuilding in its truest sense.
