SAVA
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, United Kingdom 2021 – Director: Matthew Somerville – Original language: Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Slovene – Subtitles: English, None – Length: 74 min.
The ancient Sava runs like a thread through regions and towns of former Yugoslavia. It observes, makes comments and reveals deep insights. It gathers conversations with people that it once connected and now separates. Atmospheric images of nature meet real ways of life, presented experimentally from the point of view of the Sava. Pure poetry! Selime Schauer-Altinbilek
We present the German premiere of the film.
