(A)Torzija (2002), directed by Stefan Arsenijevic, is based on a true story from war-torn Sarejevo.
This 15 minute Slovenian movie is a tiny gem--half dream, half nightmare. It's amazing to me that a film this short can convey so much history, so much fear, and so much joy.
The film obviously hasn't been distributed widely. (We were lucky
to be able to see it at the Dryden Theatre in Rochester, where it
was shown with the Hungarian film Hukkle.)
If (A)Torzija comes to your community, seek it out. You won't be
disappointed!
