THE SREBRENICA TAPE

Regista: Chiara Sambucchi
13-09-2025
In July 1995, the Army of the Republika Srpska (VRS) captured Srebrenica and massacred 8,000 Muslim men. The Bosnian Serb Army troops destroyed every trace of Srebrenica’s inhabitants: their diaries, photos and letters. One VHS survived this destruction. A unique document: a 4-hour film describing in emotional detail everyday life in the enclave and shot for a single viewer: Alisa, the then nine-year-old daughter of Sejfo, avid amateur filmmaker and resident of Srebrenica. Alisa will return to Srebrenica to trace the footsteps of her father. She will meet the people who appear in her father’s film. Alisa’s father’s film is the point of departure for her quest for clues to answer questions surrounding family and belonging.
