Ivana Horvat & Adrian Hopffgarten : 2015
Ivana Horvat fled Sarajevo with her mother in 1992 during the siege of the capital city because of the Bosnian conflict, leaving her father and his fate behind. Three years later, her father was reunited with his wife and daughter and the Horvat family began rebuilding their life together in Portland, Oregon. Despite speaking her native language at home, Ivana feels distanced from her Bosnian heritage. She has made it her goal to make Bosnia "real" and to embrace her cultural background by not only returning to Bosnia, but also by meeting and interviewing other Bosnian refugees in Portland, Paris, and wherever else the journey takes her. Ivana shares her unique story of life, death and spirit using home videos shot over a period of 20 years and footage of present day Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her experience on this intimate and personal journey celebrates the country and its people worldwide. Ivana Horvat and Adrian Hopffgarten's documentary premiered at Sarajevo Film Festival 2015.
