CANNES 2014: LES PONTS DE SARAJEVO
By Mónica Delgado
Under the impulse of the Commision for the First World War Centenary, thirteen filmmakers of different nationalities get together in Les ponts de Sarajevo, to gaze history from a review of the Sarajevo crisis and its geopolitical location of transit or limbo, from the past to the future, from memory to oblivion. But not all the tone of this series of shorts, in some cases very uneven, is marked by grief, historical essay or solemn view, but there’s also a space for humor and irony, as part of that «balcanic» spirit.
