How do you take a story as shocking as a human safari and make such a distracted, uninspired and ultimately boring documentary?

tina

Review by tina ★★

after watching it for a second time, i realised how much of a slippery slope this movie is. there’s 75 minutes of interviews and the only information you’re able to extract is that there’s a group of people who offered you to come shoot at the civilians for money. i get that the slovenian guy’s hands might be tied and that he is afraid to point fingers and talk names but the movie barely holds any grounds because it’s so stripped of this. to me it’s even a bit upsetting because it’s all just so heavily vague and the topic of this war is too heavy, sensitive, hurtful for it to be handled this poorly. the victims of the war deserve more than that. 

but then again it sparked some conversations so we’ll see where that goes.

Yaşananlar elbette ki çok acı ve izlerken kötü hissettiriyor. Önemli konulara değinilmiş. Fakat sırf içeriği önemli diye de belgesele başarılı demek doğru olmaz. Çok daha iyi ve etkili bi anlatımı olabilirdi. Bazı konuşulanlar gereksiz geldi ki bunlar da beni belgeselden biraz uzaklaştırdı. Ama sonlarda yine toparladı.

Rich western civilians paying money to come and shoot Sarajevo civilians during the war. They paid more for the opportunity to kill children. OMG

Review by taida ★★★★

heartbreaking to say the least... the documentary could have been better at showing just how tragic the entire situation was. there were so many facts in the film i already knew, and while I understand an exposé type of documentary would be super dangerous for the people involved, i feel that's what the victims of the horrible crimes deserved. but i'm glad the film is sparking up conversation, people should know about these crimes against humanity.

Bosna savaşında bazı zenginlerin yüksek meblağlarla sivil halkı öldürmesini anlatıyor. Oldukça etkileyici bir belgesel.

imo this kind of movies that exist despite people trying for decades to not get this soul-shattering information out are allowed to exist in any watchable form, as long as we start talking (!!!)

a historical fact of this magnitude deserved a better depiction but tbh this doesn't bother me because the message came across clearly. everyone is talking about the movie, it's leaving an imprint on today's political podium.

Sarajevo safari

Feature-length documentary film  Slovenia, 2022, 75'  By: Miran Zupanič

Among the many dramatic episodes of the siege of Sarajevo from 1992 to 1996, the story of a human safari has remained concealed from the public eye. Only a select few were aware that on the Serbian side, the siege of Sarajevo involved not only the Bosnian Serb Army, volunteers and mercenaries but also another, small and clandestine group. These were wealthy foreigners who paid high fees for the chance to shoot at the residents of besieged Sarajevo.

The film gives the viewer an intimation of the absolute evil underlying the masks of humanity and offers insight into the fates of people whose lives were irrevocably changed by the bullets of snipers. Along with their suffering, it also helps the viewer understand their wisdom and the power of their will to live. (Miran Zupanič)  

There are rumours of different issues circulating among people, but the discourse changes when someone broaches a particular topic in a public space. Then it's no longer a rumour, it's a public debate. Apparently, this also happened in the case of human hunting in Sarajevo. With the testimonies provided in our film, especially by two people who had personally experienced this phenomenon, we have pulled back the curtain, and now I meet people every day who tell me they have already heard about the safari. (Miran Zupanič)  

MIRAN ZUPANIČ Miran Zupanič (born 1961) graduated from the University in Ljubljana with degrees in law and film directing. In his documentary films, he focuses on the destiny of individuals in landmark moments of the 20th century: Run for Life (1990) is the first Slovenian documentary film about Goli otok, the toughest political prison in former Yugoslavia. The Eyes of Bosnia (1993) is a film shot during the bloody war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Kocbek, A Poet in the Abyss of History (2004) is a documentary about the life journey of Edvard Kocbek, a poet and spiritual revolutionary. Aufbiks! (2006) is a documentary-fiction film reconstructing national conflicts between Slovenians and Germans in Celje at the turn of the 20th century. Children from Petriček Hill (2007) is a documentary based on interviews with the descendants of alleged or actual Nazi collaborators who were executed by Yugoslav authorities at the end of WWII and whose children were committed to the Petriček concentration camp. My Friend Mujo (2012) is a film about Mujo Turajlić, a man who lost both of his arms in an explosion yet possesses the indomitable spirit to work the fields and provide for his family. The documentary Sing Me a Song (2018) is a complex portrait of the musician Vlado Kreslin and his diverse audiences. The documentary Sarajevo Safari (2022) reveals what was a publicly unknown story of foreigners paying money to shoot at residents of besieged Sarajevo. Miran Zupanič writes screenplays and also directs fiction films: Operation Cartier (1991), Radio.doc (1995), Rascals! (2001), Couples at Stake (2009), Victory, or How Maks Bigec Turned the Wheel of History (2011). Since 1997, Zupanič has been a professor of film directing at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and TV of the University of Ljubljana.

Review: Sarajevo Safari

by  Marko Stojiljković

12/09/2022 - Miran Zupanič’s doc may be imperfectly crafted, but it still elicits the right emotions about the unspeakable activities of certain circles during the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Review: Sarajevo Safari

Thirty years after the beginning of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and 27 years after it officially ended, it might seem that there is no topic, no matter how “fringe” or niche, left uncovered from that period of time. However, as it turns out, some of them are under-explored, to put it mildly. One of these is certainly a very particular bloody “activity” practised by some people with considerable financial and other means – a “safari” of sorts, but with targets and “trophies” of a different kind. Unearthing and exploring it, both in the factual and in a psychological and even philosophical sense, is the mission of Miran Zupanič and his documentary Sarajevo Safari , which has world-premiered at the fifth AJB DOC Film Festival in Sarajevo.

Zupanič opens his 75-minute documentary with seemingly idyllic footage of a spot on the hills overlooking the city, but the solemn music featuring a piano and a choir sets the foreboding mood. Archive footage of life in the city under the 1992-1995 siege follows in order to confirm the sense of impending doom. Then the narrator, shot from behind and in the shadows, starts telling his story about the “safari” and his connection to it as a witness.

The secretive, anonymous narrator had some military education in 1980s Yugoslavia and made a living in the intelligence sector before the collapse of the country. Out of work, he was approached by an equally secretive US agency with a lucrative job offer to travel to different parts of the collapsing country on a press accreditation and to “listen to the pulse of its people and peoples”. Through his contacts in Belgrade, he was informed about a “safari”: the “hunters” indulging in this activity were shooting at people in the encircled city from the sniper positions of the Serbian forces, for a price. The “safari” was organised and facilitated by the armies of both Serbia and Republika Srpska, and the participants came from abroad to assuage their morbid cravings.

Other than his narrator, he relies heavily on the archival footage of “normalised” city life from 1993-94, obtained by Božo Zadravec and the film’s producer, Franci Zajc , who, at the time, were war reporters. Zupanič also includes three sets of interviewees: a couple who lost their one-year-old daughter to a sniper shot; a former military intelligence officer and analyst, who corroborates the narrator’s story with his own findings obtained from a captured enemy soldier who witnessed one of the hunters being transported; and another victim of sniper fire, Faruk Šabanović , from the iconic archival footage of a man being shot near the Land Museum and then loaded into a UN armoured ambulance. While the officer’s account serves to cement the truthfulness of the narrator’s story, the couple’s testimony is used to compound the emotional effect of the loss they suffered, and Šabanović’s propels the story towards its more psychological and philosophical aspects.

The clarity and the “no nonsense” attitude of Zupanič’s approach is to be admired, but there are certain problems on both the narrative and the construction levels. Firstly, the narrator is the type of character that might speak the truth, but never the whole truth and certainly not nothing but the truth. Secondly, the archive footage tends to get a tad repetitive and is not really illustrative in regard to the narration it accompanies. Finally, the interviewees’ testimonies tend to get too long and to break the editing rhythm that Zupanič had established previously. But nevertheless, Sarajevo Safari has no problem striking the intended emotional chord.

Safari: odprava, katere namen je opazovanje ali lov živali v njihovem naravnem okolju.

Med mnogimi dramatičnimi epizodami obleganja Sarajeva v letih 1992 do 1996, je javnosti ostala prikrita zgodba o safariju na ljudi. Redkim izbrancem je bilo znano, da je pri obleganju Sarajeva na srbski strani poleg Vojske Republike Srbske, prostovoljcev in plačancev delovala še ena, maloštevilna in skrivnostna skupina. To so bili premožni tujci, ki so plačevali visoke zneske, da so smeli streljati na prebivalce obleganega Sarajeva.

IZJAVA REŽISERJA

»Film daje gledalcu slutiti absolutno zlo, ki se skriva pod maskami človeškosti ter hkrati prinaša uvid v usode tistih, ki so jim krogle ostrostrelcev za vedno spremenile življenje. Skupaj z njihovim trpljenjem približa gledalcu tudi njihovo modrost in moč volje do življenja.«

MIRAN ZUPANIČ

Miran Zupanič (1961) je zaključil študij prava in filmske režije na ljubljanski univerzi. V dokumentarnih filmih se osredotoča na usode posameznikov v prelomnih zgodovinskih trenutkih: Tek za življenje (1990) je bil prvi slovenski dokumentarec o Golem otoku, najtežjem političnem zaporu nekdanje Jugoslavije. Oči Bosne (1993) so bile posnete med krvavo vojno v Bosni in Hercegovini. Kocbek, pesnik v pogrezu zgodovine (2004) obravnava življenjsko pot pesnika in duhovnega revolucionarja Edvarda Kocbeka. Aufbiks! (2006) v igrano-dokumentarni formi rekonstruira nacionalne boje med Slovenci in Nemci v Celju na prehodu iz 19. v 20. stoletje. Otroci s Petrička (2007) temeljijo na intervjujih s potomci domnevnih ali dejanskih sodelavcev nacistov, ki so jih jugoslovanske oblasti po koncu 2. svetovne vojne usmrtile, njihove otroke pa zaprle v taborišče Petriček. Moj prijatelj Mujo (2012) je film o Muji Turajliću, ki je v eksploziji mine izgubil obe roki, a z neuklonljivo življenjsko močjo obdeluje zemljo in skrbi za družino. Dokumentarec Poj mi pesem (2018) je kompleksen portret glasbenika Vlada Kreslina in njegovih raznolikih publik. Dokumentarni film Sarajevo safari (2022) razkriva javnosti prej neznano zgodbo o tujcih, ki so plačevali za to, da so smeli streljati na prebivalce obleganega Sarajeva. Miran Zupanič piše scenarije in režira tudi igrane filme: Operacija Cartier (1991), Radio.doc (1995), Barabe! (2001), Igra s pari (2009), Zmaga, ali kako je Maks Bikec zasukal kolo zgodovine (2011). Od leta 1997 poučuje filmsko režijo na Akademiji za gledališče, radio, film in televizijo Univerze v Ljubljani.

'Sarajevo Safari' uncovers sniper tourism in Bosnian War

By anadolu agency.

A still shot from "Sarajevo Safari." (Via Arsmedia website)

Slovenian director Miran Zupanic's "Sarajevo Safari" reveals a clandestine, shocking part from the Bosnian War of the 1990s. The documentary focuses on the phenomenon of a "human safari," which has remained concealed from the public eye.

The film is about rich foreigners who paid money for the chance to shoot civilians in the besieged capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina from Serb army positions.

The production showcased at the Al-Jazeera Balkans International Documentary Film Festival (AJB DOC) garnered great interest.

The five-day festival, with Anadolu Agency (AA) as its global communications partner, boasted a world-class slate of documentaries from around the globe.

The festival aims to encourage writers and documentaries dealing with social phenomena by focusing on universal human values, including documentary films adapted for airing on television.

Slovenian director Miran Zupanic talks about

Incredible story

Director Zupanic told AA they had been working on the project for more than three years and that a large part of the time was spent looking for witnesses.

"I first heard about the 'safari' phenomenon in February 2019. My producer, Franci Zajc, told me about the story. We already worked together in Bosnia-Herzegovina, before that in 1993, he later filmed with the cameraman in 1993 and 1994 and heard various stories. One of those stories was about that 'safari' and he researched it himself. He told me that and I didn't believe it," Zupanic recalled.

He added that it was such an incredible story, but Zajc told him that he had a Slovenian witness, who worked for an American agency and was often on the battlefields during the war.

He did not shoot, but he was an observer.

Zupanic said he met the man, but that he was skeptical from the beginning.

"I trusted him, but that was still not enough for the film. You can't make a story with one witness, especially not for such an unusual and incredible story," said Zupanic.

He added that after that they started looking for other witnesses.

"There again, my colleague producer Franci Zajc was in charge. He asked since he had contacts in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the first person who somehow pulled us further was Nedzad Latic, who introduced Edin Subasic to Zajc, who worked as an intelligence officer of the Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina during the war, and he met with such a case," said Zupanic.

A still shot from

Film opens new level of human evil

The film was compiled exclusively from the testimony of two sources: three people who were victims of the snipers. In addition, archival recordings of Sarajevo and Bosnia-Herzegovina from the period 1993-1994 were included, as well as one-minute material purchased from an agency.

He also referred to the importance of the film for getting to know people's psychology.

"The key question is what kind of people do it? What is their psychological, and social profile?

"I think that the phenomenon of people who look at other people as wild animals should be given a little more attention. To wonder what their morals are and what we ordinary people are in their eyes?

"Because if they look at one as a 'game animal,' they would probably look at all of us as game animals if we find ourselves in that situation in front of their crosshairs," said Zupanic.

He pointed out that there is a narrower group of people for whom they see the rest as lower class.

"Life is very complex. History is very complex. That may be a drop in the ocean of history. This little story, a little episode where it refers to a very narrow circle, a mysterious circle of people. It is significant precisely because it opens up a completely new level of human evil.

"The main point of that story should be that we think about that evil and that we think about evil in general and that in some way we oppose that evil, but not with evil, but with good, communication, dialogue, understanding, empathy, respect for the other and the different.

"For me, there is what is important, not only the story – they were there, they shot, it's terrible, but can it influence us to realize how important it is to work on being good to each other?" said Zupanic.

Rescreening

Due to the great public interest, an additional screening of the film took place on Sunday.

The film will also be screened in Slovenia and Istanbul.

The Bosnian War was sparked by the breakup of Yugoslavia, which led Bosnia-Herzegovina to declare independence in February 1992.

Its capital, Sarajevo, came under the attack of Bosnian Serb militias, backed by the Yugoslav army, in what became the longest siege in modern history, lasting nearly four years.

Between April 1992 and December 1995, an estimated 100,000 people were killed and 2.2 million displaced in Bosnia. And as many as 50,000 women, mostly Bosniak, were raped, according to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and U.N. estimates.

Safari: odprava, katere namen je opazovanje ali lov živali v njihovem naravnem okolju.

Med mnogimi dramatičnimi epizodami obleganja Sarajeva v letih 1992 do 1996 je javnosti ostala prikrita zgodba o safariju z ljudmi. Redkim izbrancem je bilo znano, da je pri obleganju na srbski strani poleg Vojske Republike Srbske, prostovoljcev in plačancev delovala še ena, maloštevilna in skrivnostna skupina. To so bili premožni tujci, ki so plačevali visoke zneske, da so smeli streljati na prebivalce obleganega mesta.

To je film z zlobo, ki je ne boste pozabili. Čutili boste izgubo ljudi in sovražili boste, da so lahko ljudje tako okrutni. Če smo pozabili, kako nora je lahko vojna - ta film nas bo na to vedno opominjal.

Tehnični podatki

Vsi podatki o financiranju so pridobljeni iz uradnih virov. S strani producentov oziroma organizacij, ki so projekt finančno podprle.

Dokumentarni projekt Sarajevski safari je glede na svojo izvirnost in sporočilni potencial vrhunskega pomena za razvoj ustvarjanja slovenskih avdiovizualnih del. S svojo tematiko, razkritjem doslej v javnosti še ne razkrite zgodbe iz časa obleganja Sarajeva, izkazuje velik pomen za uveljavitev slovenske avdiovizualne produkcije doma in v tujini. Ima srednji potencial za razvoj slovenske kulture in slovenskega jezika. Izkazuje zelo visoko izvirnost in inovativnost v rabi medija. O brutalnosti vojne na območju Bosne in Hercegovine ob razpadu nekdanje skupne države je bilo posnetih že veliko dokumentarcev, ki so s te ali one perspektive pričali o popolnem razčlovečenju in izbruhu nedojemljivega sovraštva. Sarajevski safari v to zgodbo prinaša doslej neznano podobo absolutnega zla in razkrije še eno od nepojmljivih zlorab moči: gre za zgodbo o lovcih na ljudi, posameznikih, na videz povsem »vsakdanjih« možeh, tujih bogataših, ki so plačali, da so lahko za lastno zabavo streljali na prebivalce, tudi na otroke in nosečnice, v obkoljenem Sarajevu ... Projekt s svojo vsebinsko zasnovo, dosedanjo raziskavo, pripovednim tokom in nakazanim režijskim pristopom izkazuje visoko utemeljenost za realizacijo. Ocena režiserjevega dosedanjega dela je podana na podlagi priloženih referenc, iz katerih je razvidno, da je njegovo režijsko ustvarjalno delo na avdiovizualnem področju izredno odmevno. Odlična ocena režijskega koncepta je podana na podlagi kvalitete, profesionalnosti izvedbe, raznovrstnosti, izvirnosti, komunikativnosti in aktualnosti pristopa k projektu. Producentovo delo je zelo odmevno tako v mednarodnem prostoru kot pri nas. Z mnogimi igranimi in dokumentarnimi projekti je bil uvrščen na mednarodne in domača filmske festivale, kjer so prejeli številne nagrade. Producentova strokovna in finančna kredibilnost je zelo dobra, kar odraža tudi ocena komisije. Finančni načrt in predračun sta ustrezna. Opazne pa so manjše napake, na primer pri postavki honorar producenta, ki je višji od upravičenih 7 odstotkov od zaprošenega zneska, prav tako tudi pri postavki režijski stroški, kjer je dovoljenih 5 odstotkov od zaprošenega zneska. Temu primerna je tudi naša ocena.
