Masterclass in Visual Ethics
Refik Hodzic, co-founder of XY Films in Sarajevo and the recipient of numerous awards at international film festivals over the years, will be coming to Goldsmiths to offer a Masterclass in: ‘Visual Ethics and Documentary Film-making in Post-Conflict Societies’. This event is only open to Goldsmiths students and has limited places: contact Sari Wastell on s.wastell (@gold.ac.uk) to reserve a (free) place in advance or for further information.  Thursday, 30 April 2-4pm, RHB 256.

Double-bill screening of ‘Justice Unseen’ and ‘Witness 710399’ followed by a Q+A with award-winning Bosnian film director, Refik Hodzic. 
For the first time, Refik Hodzic’s two publicly acclaimed films will be screened together in London.  ‘Justice Unseen’ is a critical exploration of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia from the perspective of two communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Konjic and Prijedor), asking whether the prosecution of war criminals in the Hague has offered justice to the victims of war crimes ‘back at home’ or whether the Tribunal has proved an ‘expensive legal experiment.’  The other film, ‘Witness 710399’ tells the story of a father searching for the son that slipped out of his hand during the Srebrenica genocide, a story that the director says is the story of Bosnia and Herzegovina generally – a country painfully haunted by war crimes and their legacy.  Refik Hodzic will introduce both films and take questions afterwards. Please contact Sam Kelly (s.m.kelly) for further information about this event. Thursday, 30 April 5-8pm, RHB 309.

This event is supported by the Centre for Visual Anthropology, the Centre for Global Media and Democracy, the Global Justice Unit, the Centre for Urban and Community Research, and the Department of Anthropology, Goldsmiths.
