Synopsis

The last scene of ON ANIMAL LOCOMOTION was shot in Sarajevo, the besieged city in which also SARAJEVO FILM FESTIVAL FILM was made. In October 1993, despite shelling and sniper fire, the city organised a film festival. I made the trip together with Frank Vellenga, who acted as producer and recorded the sound. We presented FACE VALUE and BRASS UNBOUND to the festival audience and made a film around two characters: the organiser of the festival and a young woman who goes to see all the films. Both people have their own answers to the question: why film in the midst of a raging war? Johan van der Keuken
