10 minutes by Ahmed Imamovic.
1994. Sarajevo, Bosnia and
Rome, Italy. How many
different things can happen
for only 10 Minutes. The film
won the award for the best
European short film in
2002.This short film, as its
title indicates lasts only 10
minutes, but it tells a much
longer story which unravels
only in our imagination upon
seeing the end of the film.
While 10 minutes in someone's
life mean nothing, they can be
fatal in another: a boy and
his loving family, tragedy in
a war-torn city, death and
destruction. All in just ten
minutes. The film follows two
simultaneous story lines: one
set in Rome, and one in
Sarajevo, in 1994, the worst
time of the war in Bosnia.
Although the Rome part was not
filmed on the original
location, that does not take
away anything from the quality
of the film, it was just a
symbolic element anyway. Cast
is great, story is very
compact and well written,
direction dynamic and precise.
There is nothing out of place
in the film: well structured,
stripped of false pathos,
realistic, it is very straight
forward. In other words, this
is a jewel of a film, and it
was not by chance that it won
the award for the best
European short film in 2002.
10 minutes for me is
definitely one of the most
moving and powerful films
about wartime Sarajevo. Behind
the scene: I read that the
director Ahmed Imamovic, in
search of Japanese for the
role of the tourist, had to go
to the Japanese Embassy in
Sarajevo and ask one of the
staff to perform in the film.
Luckily for the director, the
Embassy allowed one of their
employees to star in the film.
The story tells how SERBS have
killed civils, old people and
children!10 MINUTA film Ahmeda
