Stories from the Wars

Running time: 5’09’’

Production: SE 2014

Hundred years have passed since the beginning of World War 1, 75 years since the beginning of  World War II. In a world where the ongoing conflicts are shielded away from the European adults and youths who never experienced war, there arise questions of whose wars we remember and tell stories about. The sordid images of repelling bunkers which the author uses situate these war stories far away from pop-culture adventures.
