Screening of the documentary “The Sniper Artists” and Q&A with Jean-François Berger

THE SNIPER ARTISTS – Documentary screening and Q&A with filmmaker Jean-François Berger

2.12. at 7 PM

During the wars that accompanied the breakup of Yugoslavia, newspaper cartoonists bore witness to the tragedy unfolding around them, often risking their own lives. Dubbed “sniper artists,” they used their drawings to resist propaganda and political pressure.

The documentary The Sniper Artists tells the stories of six cartoonists from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro. They reflect on what it meant to create in wartime and on the power of satire in the face of violence and propaganda. Through their personal stories and drawings, the film preserves a valuable visual testimony of the turbulent history of the Balkans, while also looking at the experiences of contemporary cartoonists from Ukraine and Russia.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with the film’s author, Jean-François Berger.

Tickets cost 300 RSD and are available at the Museum of the Nineties daily from 10 AM to 8 PM. By purchasing a ticket, you support the continuation and development of the Museum’s programmes.
