Prelude
to Kosovo: War and Peace in Bosnia and Croatia (1999; 52
minutes) depicts
the bitter civil war in the former Yugoslavia. Shot on location in
Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia, the documentary combines graphic footage
and interviews with religious and political figures.
The film addresses the ideology of "ethnic cleansing" and the massacres
resulting from a nationalist quest for political, cultural and religious
domination. The Serbian Orthodox, Bosnian Muslim and Croatian Catholic
perspectives are all represented. The film features original Balkan
music by Alexis Gavras, Vedran Smailovic and Vuk Kulenovic. |
The film "challenges some of the conventional wisdom about the
recent horrors there and offers some plausible shreds of hope for
reconciliation and a brighter future. Michalczyk also has a background
in theology, and it is his clear ecumenical spirit and interest in
religious history that animates this informative and worthy film."
