Vfonds supports the short documentary (Inn) a State of Siege
4 May 2024
Today at 20:00 we will be silent for 2 minutes and think of all war victims from the present and the past, across all countries and continents. This Remembrance Day is extra special to us: yesterday we heard that Vfonds supports the short documentary (Inn) a State of Siege (working title), on which Foundation Agie is collaborating as associate producer.
This extraordinary, experimental documentary by Dutch journalist and documentary maker Qali Nur is itself an act of remembrance. It tells the story of three employees of the famous Holiday Inn Hotel in Sarajevo, who worked there during the Bosnian war of 1992-1995. The hotel remained open during the siege and was a place of residence for foreign journalists.
The first part of the shooting already took place last month in Sarajevo. The rest will be filmed in a little over a week. And then the always exciting post-production process begins, which is made possible thanks to this contribution from the Vfonds.
