The siege of Sarajevo lasted from April 1992 to February 1996. 1425 days, during which the city's young men were mobilized to defend it; days in which some of them chose to take up their cameras to counter, through images, the violence that was befalling them.
Now, 30 years later, they show us their films and share their wartime filming experiences and thoughts on cinema as a means of survival and resistance.
