Creative Motion is deeply honored to announce that our documentary Sniper Alley – To My Brother will be screened this June in Chicago as part of the prestigious Bosnian-Herzegovinian Diasporic Conference — an important international gathering dedicated to Bosnian culture, memory, identity, dialogue, and the strength of the Bosnian diaspora around the world.
Being included in this meaningful program represents a truly important moment for our production company and for the journey of the film. Over the years, we have encountered an extraordinary community committed to preserving memory through art, culture, and collective reflection — values that deeply resonate with the vision behind our work.
Sniper Alley – To My Brother tells the story of Džemil Hodžić and his search for memory through the photographs of the siege of Sarajevo, exploring childhood in war, loss, resilience, and the transformative power of art against violence and oblivion.
Following its international premiere at the Sarajevo Film Festival, the documentary continues its international path, and we are proud that it will now become part of this important platform for dialogue and remembrance in Chicago.
We sincerely thank the entire team of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Diasporic Conference for welcoming our film with such warmth and sensitivity.
As an independent production company engaged for years in projects connected to human rights, memory, social justice, and contemporary conflicts, we are truly grateful to feel part of this great Bosnian family.
