QUELLO CHE RESTA
Antonio Martino | Bosnia, Italy | 2014 | 50' | out of competition
Twenty years after one of the days dramatically more symbolic of the conflicts in the Balkans, the destruction of the Old Bridge in the city, and almost ten years after its reconstruction by the international community, seven different characters lead their lives in the current Mostar without ever meeting. What they have in common, however, are the fragments of the past that emerge forcefully and by which they must deal. The documentary has participated in the following Italian film festival in 2014: Ischia Film Festival (July), Genova Film Festival (July), SalinaDoc Festival (September).
