Bosnia: Ukraine – Reporting from the future
Premiere

In April 2024, almost thirty years after the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina ended, twenty Ukrainian visual and contemporary artists, filmmakers, writers, and journalists came from war-torn Ukraine to Sarajevo to participate in a project titled “Reporting from the Future,” organized by the WARM Foundation. During the week they spent in Sarajevo, and visits to other cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, they had the opportunity to meet and talk with people who experienced the war thirty years ago, hoping to gain insight into how their society and people affected by the war may look in the future. Each Ukrainian participant had a Bosnian host, a person of similar age and interests, who introduced them to the city. Lectures by prominent Bosnian and foreign writers, journalists, and curators, discussing various aspects of life in Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina and their personal experiences, were held in the newly opened European house of culture and national minorities in Sarajevo.
The documentary film “Bosnia: Ukraine – Reporting from the future” were created during that week, reflecting all that the Ukrainian artists felt, learned, and experienced while in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This project highlights the importance of cooperation and the exchange of experiences between communities affected by the misery of war.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with speakers of the documentary
