DEPTH TWO
Sunday, April 6 at 1:00 p.m.
“Depth Two” premiered at the Berlinale (2016) and was then shown at festivals such as Open City (London), DOK.fest (Munich), Sarajevo Film Festival, and First Look (New York).
About the film: In 2001 a mass grave was discovered in a suburb of Belgrade. Soon there were more to come. “Depth Two” investigates the hidden story behind this horrid discovery and takes us back to 1999 and the NATO bombings in Serbia. Using the verbal testimonies of perpetrators and victims, “Depth Two” unfolds like a hypnotic thriller that visits the places where the crimes happened 17 years ago and follows the trail of this untold massacre, in an attempt to uncover and give a voice to the stories, that are still intentionally buried in silence.
Curatorial statement from Luiza Parvu and Toma Peiu:
We are excited to bring Ognjen Glavonic and Tatjana Krstevski to Sedona, considering the unique programming of Sedona Film Festival Theaters. This season, our series Kino Nights is devoted to unconventional approaches to the representations of violence, trauma and genocide in recent East European and Eurasian cinema. Leaving behind sensational or depressing renditions, or the re-traumatizing of survivors, how can we use cinema to understand important historical events through the traces and scars they leave in the lives of everyday people, their homes and public places? The filmmakers we are featuring show us distinct, thoughtful approaches to cinema as a medium for collective debate and reckoning. This topic resonates deeply in our complicated historical moment. and we are glad that audiences in Sedona can now participate in this conversation, on how film artists can reveal our world anew.
