Cease Fire: Belfast/Sarajevo
Baudoin Koenig | France | 1995 | 52 min. | documentary video

From two opposite corners of Europe comes the engrossing, ultimately hopeful story of two schoolgirls doing their best to survive amid war and devastation: From Sarajevo, Sanina is linked by satellite with Ciara, a citizen of Belfast. As the two get acquainted, they share their views and opinions, as well as fascinating footage of their respective cities. Despite vast cultural differences, Sanina and Ciara both see their Europe caught between peace and war, haunted by the twin dangers of nationalism and religious persecution.
