With filmmaker Bill Carter in attendance. Reception 6 pm; discussion with filmmaker after screening
Miss Sarajevo is a surreal and startling portrait of Sarajevo, the capital city of Bosnia, during the heignt of the city's siege. Instead of following the scenes of carnage, Carter's camera follows the alternative scene of people determined to live as normal a life as they could under these most difficult and dangerous conditions.
U2's singer Bono serves as executive producer and U2 along with Luciano Pavorotti, sing the theme song. Carter and Bono met in Italy at a U2 concert during the war when Carter interviewed Bono for Sarajevo television. They went on to do the well-documented satellite connections on the European lef of the Zooropa tour.
