| For the first time in the history
of wars, common people were in a situation to document events
around them with a home video camera. The home video cameras
- instead of filming children’s birthday parties - recorded
the shelling of their hometown - Sarajevo. This footage - recorded
by ordinary citizens from their apartments, shelters, neighbourhoods,
in various parts of the city - was used to create a film about
everyday life in a besieged city, in Europe, at the end of the
20th century. |
One of the most beautiful human characteristics is the will
to communicate and understand different... We had the honour
to meet nice people living in the oldest Republic in the world
and to present them our film “Do you remember Sarajevo?",
a story about ordinary people who lived under a barbaric siege
at the end of the 20th century
Finally, we received the most beautiful award for that film
“ the understanding and friendship of the San Marino people”.
It will be hard to forget Michele's progressive political and
human speeches and mad driving, Paolo’s attitude as key
man of San Marino, Rita’s energy, Jemma’s sense of
humanity, the beautiful atmosphere of Valentina’s home,
the speleological adventure spirit and all the smiles you gave
us as a most wonderful souvenir of San Marino. Thanks also to
your Presidents for giving us their time. They really were pleased
to see us in the beautiful Government Building of your splendid
Republic.
Thanks for your idea of talking about Sarajevo and Bosnia; its
something to show us that people who really carried about future
talking about past. And first of all it is very important that
you (people of the oldest Republic in the world) think about
it. You really deserve to be those who talk about wars because
you don't have any experience of them. This means God blessed
your land and, on the other hand, it also means you somehow
know a lot about it.
A small Republic with a big heart... With hope to see you all
again. |
