Please join the East Central European Center at the Harriman Institute, Film Center Sarajevo, and the 2022 Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film Festival for a special virtual screening of a selection of short films from the Sarajevo Documentary School and a live discussion with Ines Tanović and Dijana Jelača, moderated by Tanya Domi.

Co-curated by the director of Sarajevo Film Center, Ines Tanović, and film scholar Dijana Jelača, these selected short films from the famed Sarajevo Documentary School were made by a number of notable filmmakers in Yugoslavia in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The films tackle various themes of social justice, from workers’ rights, to children’s precarity and gender equality. Tanović and her team have been hard at work digitally preserving these unique films which are invaluable documents of Yugoslavia’s and Bosnia’s cinematic and cultural heritage.
