    FRONT COVER 1 3 PEN INTERNATIONAL CHARTER The PEN Charter is based on resolutions passed at its International Congresses and may be summarised as follows: PEN affirms that: 1. Literature knows no frontiers and must remain common currency among people in spite of political or international upheavals. 2. In all circumstances, and particularly in time of war, works of art, the patrimony of humanity at large, should be left untouched by national or political passion. 3. Members of PEN should at all times use what influence they have in favour of good understanding and mutual respect between nations; they pledge themselves to do their utmost to dispel race, class and national hatreds, and to champion the ideal of one humanity living in peace in one world. 4. PEN stands for the principle of unhampered transmission of thought within each nation and between all nations, and members pledge themselves to oppose any form of suppression of freedom of expression in the country and community to which they belong, as well as throughout the world wherever this is possible. PEN declares for a free press and opposes arbitrary censorship in time of peace. It believes that the necessary advance of the world towards a more highly organised political and economic order renders a free criticism of governments, administrations and institutions imperative. And since freedom implies voluntary restraint, members pledge themselves to oppose such evils of a free press as mendacious publication, deliberate falsehood and distortion of facts for political and personal ends. Membership of PEN is open to all qualified writers, editors and translators who subscribe to these aims, without regard to nationality, ethnic origin, language, colour or religion.

    CIRKUS COLUMBIA A FILM BY DANIS TANOVlC´ SYNOPSIS Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1991. The communists have fallen from power and Divko Buntic returns to the small town where he grew up to reclaim his family home. After a 20-year exile in Germany, Divko arrives in his flashy red Mercedes with sexy young girlfriend Azra, lucky black cat Bonny and a pocketful of Deutschmarks. Cash and cousin Ivanda, the recently inducted “democratic” mayor, help Divko forcefully evict estranged wife Lucija and 20-year-old son Martin. Lucky to not have been jailed after their eviction skirmish with the police, Martin and Lucija are moved into a small dilapidated municipal apartment. Once settled in the comfort of his old house, Divko tries to reach out to Martin, the son he never knew. He offers Martin an invitation to live with him and his soon-to-be new wife Azra. When Lucija finds out, she is furious and fearful that she’ll lose her son to his father. Martin reassures his mother, but the young CB radio enthusiast continues to secretly visit his father’s home to use the equipment he left behind. When Divko’s beloved cat Bonny disappears, the whole town joins in a frantic search to get the cash reward. The daily hunt for the missing cat strains Divko’s fragile relationship with Azra. It also opens up an unexpected but strong attraction between Azra and Martin. Busy fretting over everyday concerns, most of the townsfolk seem to disregard the rumbling political unrest: Croatia has seceded, all Yugoslavs are being forced to take sides, and the Serbs begin bombing Dubrovnik.

Part of its appeal was without a doubt related to historical and current events such as the First World War or the Olympic games, but it has been also interesting for its natural and geographical potential. Nonetheless, in over a century of filmmaking in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this is a very first attempt in presenting at least part of its filming location potential. We have decided to present four geographical regions where most of the filmmaking in the past ten years has taken part. The regions focused are centered around four cities: Banja Luka, Mostar, Goražde and Sarajevo.

  • Reflections on Film and Transitional Justice in Bosnia-Herzegovina
    Studies in Social Justice Volume 7, Issue 2, 285-309, 2013 REVIEW ESSAY In the Land of Celebrity Humanitarianism: Reflections on Film and Transitional Justice in Bosnia-Herzegovina BRIAN PHILLIPS Journal of Human Rights Practice, Oxford University Press, United Kingdom Following a special Sarajevo screening of Angelina Jolie’s In the Land of Blood and Honey for representatives of Bosnian war victims’ associations, a woman who had been raped during the conflict said of her initial response to the film: “I first vomited, from the sheer force of my suffering...Angelina touched our souls” (Hopkins, 2011b). In another news report about the screening, this same woman added that “from the moment the film began, I was back in April 1992. My life passed through this film completely” (Hopkins, 2011a). Referring to the central character of the film, a second woman, also a victim of sexual violence in the Bosnian war, declared: “I am Ajla...This is what I went through in the rape camp in Vlasenica in 1992” (Hopkins, 2011b). The leader of a group of women whose sons were murdered in the 1995 Srebrenica massacres likewise praised the film and expressed gratitude to Jolie “for her intellectual and financial investment in making this movie that will tell the world the truth about Bosnia’s war” (Smajilhodžić, 2011). Similarly, the male head of a group of former prisoners of war explained that “this movie is deeply moving for the victims who experienced all of these things...It is completely objective and it really tells the facts of what happened during the war” (Smajilhodžić, 2011).

The father Nazif salvages metal from old cars that he sells to a scrap‐dealer. The mother Senada keeps the house tidy, cooks, bakes and cares for their two small daughters. A third baby is on the way. One day, she feels a sharp pain in her abdomen. At the hospital, she is told that there is something wrong with the baby she is carrying. She is at risk of septicemia and must undergo surgery immediately. Because she does not have a state‐provided health insurance card, the hospital requests that Senada pay 980 Bosnian marks (500 euros), which a fortune for Nazif. Despite Nazif's pleading for help, Senada is denied the crucial surgery and forced to return home to their village. For the next 10 days, Nazif will do everything he can to try and save Senada's life ‐ desperately searching for more scrap metal, and seeking help from state institutions.
