Sarajevo : a street under siege
thursday, 9 September


 

 
From November 1993 to March 1994, POINT DU JOUR, in its own way, was able to find an alternative treatment of the war in Bosnia. A daily two-minute sequence, preceded by a count of the siege-days, portrays the life of the inhabitants of a single street in Sarajevo's old town. Broadcast primarily by BBC2 and ARTE, at the end of their news programmes, "A STREET UNDER SIEGE" gradually captures the atention. Transmitted each day by satellite, edited without voice-over, produced in association with SAGA in Sarajevo, the programme creates a genuine link with the living reality of the people shown and thus overcomes the prevailing "remoteness" of this far-off humanitarian tragedy.
