Contents Summary
- "My Mother the Shehit (Moja mama Sehit)" by Denis Tanovic and Dino Mustafic. Produced in 1992. A story about a boy whose mother was killed as a fighter defending Sarajevo. The boy takes a rose from the garden his mother worked on and brings it to her grave; but when he returns to the grave, the rose is no longer there. Through the sad confession of the boy we meet the people of his environment—his grandfather, grandmother, aunt, and friends; as well as his mother's collegues, and other fighters—who bring warmth and love to the boy in these cruel times. The film is followed by a video spot with music accompanied by lyrics from Bosnian poet Aleksa Santic (16 minutes).
- "War Art" by Nedzad Begovic, produced in March 1993 (10 minutes).
Nedzad Begovic's exhibition entitled WAR ART was created by collecting various materials that have lost their primary function as a result of war operations. All exhibits have a "history" of their own and are the result of the destruction of Sarajevo. The author recognizes shapes in the destroyed objects and presents them as ARTE FACT, transforming the negative energy of crime into the positive vibrations of human spirituality.
