Cooling Waters
Jonas Scheu / Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland / 2015 / European Premiere / 8 min.
synopsis
In a single take lasting several minutes, the film shows the village of Hladivode (whose names means “Cooling Waters”) near Sarajevo. After a slow tracking shot across an orchard, the camera zooms out to show a group of men engaged in conversation. They are filling in the bullet holes on a ruined building – a reminder of the recent events in the Balkan peninsula’s turbulent history.
