The documentary "Kiss the Future" opens 29. Sarajevo Film Festival

The script of the film "Kiss the Future" is written by Nenad Čičin-Šain and Bill Carter (Miss Sarajevo). The film is produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for Pearl Street Films and Sarah Anthony for Good Wolves Production.
The current story of Sarajevo's resistance during the siege of the city in the 1990s follows the city's alternative scene, which used music and art to cause change and attract worldwide attention, and the post-war concert by U2 was a celebration of the city's hard-won victory over nationalism.
