ENFF brings films to more cities in The Netherlands! Join us for our first On Tour event in Amersfoort – a combined screening of two very special films and a Balkan cocktail – in arthouse cinema De Lieve Vrouw.
We will screen documentary SCREAM FOR ME SARAJEVO by Tarik Hodzic, about the secret concert of Bruce Dickinson and his band during the war siege of the city. The film won 3 prizes at the Sarajevo Film Festival, went to cinemas all around the world and is one of the most exciting films from our previous edition. Legendary musician Chris Dale, our special guest, will be present at the screening!
Furthermore, get ready for a Dutch premiere – STITCHES by Miroslav Terzic. A psychological drama with a thriller undercurrent inspired by true story. The film won the Europa Cinemas Label as Best European film in the Panorama section at this year’s Berlinale.
In between two films the audience is invited by ENFF for a cozy Balkan treat: traditional snacks with Ajvar, made of baked paprika, Balkan cheese and a traditional drink – plum brandy. The intermission will be accompanied by live musical performance by Macedonian-Dutch artist Alexandra Popovska. Come and join us.

SCREAM FOR ME SARAJEVO by tarik hodzic  |  18:30 hours

A story about musicians who risked their lives to perform for people who risked their lives to live them. A triple winner at the Sarajevo Film Festival.

Synopsis

The first time Iron Maiden’s frontman Bruce Dickinson was in Sarajevo, the city was cut off from the world, its citizens brutally terrorized by sharp shooters, bombing and starvation. Right in the middle of a raging war, Bruce and his then solo band drove through the frontlines and gave a legendary concert in the Bosnian Culture Centre on December 14, 1994. After 963 days, or 23.566 hours, or simply 1.415.520 minutes of the siege of Bosnian capital, the British singer entered the stage and shouted ‘Scream for me Sarajevo’. What this gig meant to the audience and the band itself is told in this award winning film; one of the most valuable documentaries about the Sarajevo siege ever made.

STITCHES by miroslav terzic  |  21:00 hours

A powerful film inspired by true case of Serbian seamstress who had been searching for her “dead son” for almost two decades. Best European Film at this year’s Berlinale.

Synopsis

Based on true events, the film takes place in contemporary Belgrade, 18 years after a young seamstress was coldly informed of her newborn’s sudden death. She still believes the infant was stolen from her in hospital. Dismissed by others as paranoid and with a mother’s determination, she summons the strength for one last battle against the police, the hospital bureaucracy and even her own family to uncover the truth. An emotional story of one of a hundred families who have suffered the same fate in Serbia, featuring Snezana Bogdanovic, one of the most prominent actresses from former Yugoslavia. The film had its world premiere in the Panorama section at Berlinale and won the Europa Cinemas Label for great direction, cinematography, script, editing and superior performances.
