The Stone Speakers

Movie backdrop

In present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, economically depressed towns turn themselves into tourist destinations in order to surviveā€”deliberately forming their own cultural narratives. Centering on four different locations, The Stone Speakers interrogates a nationā€™s contradictory memories. Made with subtlety and tactful distance, director Igor Drljacaā€™s film reveals the traumatic consequences of being a country that is stuck in a postwar identity crisis.
