On June 28, 1914 Gavrilo Princip assassinated the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Franz Ferdinand sparking World War I that marked the start of the 20th century. As Sarajevo commemorated the centennial of the assassination, different people had different interpretations of what happened in the city a century ago and different emotions about it. ONE DAY IN SARAJEVO tells about various perspectives of the anniversary in Sarajevo combining and contrasting footage filmed by citizens of Sarajevo (with small cameras and mobile phones) with scenes from feature films about the assassination by directors from Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the United Kingdom
Sarajevo Revisited is the story of three remarkable children who grew up during the war in Bosnia We first visited them in their then besieged hometown of Sarajevo in 1995. Three years of bitter war in the heart of Europe had left Bosnia utterly destroyed and as true in most wars, the children seemed to have suffered most. At age ten, Emir Spiritovic, Irena Dragoje and Naida Kuduz seemed to cope with the effects of the war in very different ways: sometimes defiant and angry, more often sad and deeply frightned. Eight years after the war Emir, Irena and Naida turn 18. At first sight they seem to be no different then kids of their ages in Berlin, Paris or Londen. They visit house parties, they skate, wear designer clothes and they chat with friends around the world on their computers. But under the surface war has left its traces. Sarajevo Revisited is the compelling story of a reunion with three war children who now embody the future of their country.

In 1994, Sarajevo was a city under siege. Mortars and rocket propelled grenades rained onto the city, killing indiscriminately, every day. Amongst the madness, two United Nations personnel: a British military officer and another Brit working for the UN Fire Department, decided it would be fun to persuade a global rock star, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, to come and play a gig to the population. Scream for Me Sarajevo brings that story, in all its madness, to the big screen. A story of musicians who risked their lives to play a gig to people who risked their lives to live them.
"Looking for Horses" is a film about a friendship between the filmmaker and a fisherman, who lost his hearing during the Bosnian civil war and retreated to a lake to live in solitude. The filmmaker, son of Bosnian parents, struggles to communicate as he lost his mother-tongue due to a heavy stutter. Despite their speech and hearing limitations, a bond develops between the young man and the veteran, as he shares his world of the lake: full of large catfish, wild horses, wide silences, and dangerous thunderstorms. Where for the fisherman the lake stands for a withdrawal from a fractured country, a land of war; for the filmmaker it precisely means the return to that broken place, the land of his parents. They look for ways to communicate, while the camera mediates their growing bond. Taking the shape of a gentle western, "Looking for Horses" is a poetic documentary on trauma, survival, and connection.
