The Short Film Festival “C’è un tempo per…l’integrazione” will take place in May, split between the towns of Sarnico and Bergamo (northern Italy).
As well as the usual short film programme, the festival is also organizing various events (screenings, exhibitions) to mark the 25th anniversary of the start of the war in former Yugoslavia. As part of this there will be a screening of Nedim Loncarevic’s “Le Tunnel, le secret du siège de Sarajevo”.
The 52-minute documentary shows the Serbian army’s siege of Sarajevo in the spring of 1993. Between 1992 and 1995 the city of nearly 500,000 inhabitants remained inaccessible for 1,300 days. Starting from the house of the Sloboda family (meaning Freedom), a tunnel was dug under the city to the unoccupied territory. Once a narrow passage had been made, the city could be supplied with ammunition, weapons and food.
Nedim Loncarevic’s film adroitly alternates images from Bosnian television, contemporary newscasts, witness statements and even animated film. It won the Reportage Award at the 2010 PriMed, organized by the CMCA, partner of “C’è un tempo per l’integrazione”.
