Scope and content

Film excerpts in this series cover various aspects of military and civilian life in Srebrenica before the fall of the enclave in July 1995.

Some of the amateur footage was created with the aim of informing residents who already emigrated about life conditions in the town and on how the life of those who remained there unfolded. These audiovisual postcards are about parties, wedding ceremonies, community outings, horse races and local sports events.

Another group of films cover the presence of international organizations in the area, including the UNHCR delivering and distributing aid and supplies to the local population, or the building of permanent homes for over 5,000 refugees by the Swedish Shelter Project just outside Srebrenica.

A third thematic chapter consists of footage on military activities in Srebrenica and its surroundings. It includes recordings of military drills and excercises, interviews with Bosnian Muslim military commanders and other personnel on the causes of the war, the defense of the area, and the latest military operations.
