SIMS, in collaboration with BalCan CrossOver, is hosting a screening of the Bosnian film Stigmas (Stigme) which unveils the complex issues surrounding collective memory and intergenerational trauma of the countries of the Western Balkans. After the screening, there will be a discussion where we will dive deeper into the topic of collective memory and its perception across generations. The discussion will be joined by Prof. Kateřina Králová and Jakub Novosad. Refreshments will be provided on site.

During a rough journey of tobacco smugglers, the fates of young Dragan and his father’s die-hard opponents accidentally intersect. Set in post-World War II Herzegovina, the story brings up the ever-present theme of ideological stigmatisation. This underrated film is undoubtedly one of the best and most interesting of post-Yugoslav cinema in recent years.
