Download the film in high quality here (xvid, avi, 100 MB): http://lix.in/e5f9a9 10 minutes by Ahmed Imamovic. 1994. Sarajevo, Bosnia and Rome, Italy. How many different things can happen for only 10 Minutes. The film won the award for the best European short film in 2002. This short film, as its title indicates lasts only 10 minutes, but it tells a much longer story which unravels only in our imagination upon seeing the end of the film. While 10 minutes in someone's life mean nothing, they can be fatal in another: a boy and his loving family, tragedy in a war-torn city, death and destruction. All in just ten minutes. The film follows two simultaneous story lines: one set in Rome, and one in Sarajevo, in 1994, the worst time of the war in Bosnia. Although the Rome part was not filmed on the original location, that does not take away anything from the quality of the film, it was just a symbolic element anyway. Cast is great, story is very compact and well written, direction dynamic and precise. There is nothing out of place in the film: well structured, stripped of false pathos, realistic, it is very straight forward. In other words, this is a jewel of a film, and it was not by chance that it won the award for the best European short film in 2002. 10 minutes for me is definitely one of the most moving and powerful films about wartime Sarajevo. Behind the scene: I read that the director Ahmed Imamovic, in search of Japanese for the role of the tourist, had to go to the Japanese Embassy in Sarajevo and ask one of the staff to perform in the film. Luckily for the director, the Embassy allowed one of their employees to star in the film. The story tells how SERBS have killed civils, old people and children! 10 MINUTA film Ahmeda Imamovica Godina 1994. Rim i Sarajevo. Koliko razlicitih stvari moze da se desi za 10 minuta! Film dobitnik nagrade za najbolji kratki film 2002. god. u evropi! Language/Jezik: Bosnian/Bosanski with english subtitle

Nov 11, 2008 - What hurts is, that it happened like that , only THIRTEEn,FOURTEEN,FIVETEEN years ago. And it was not in Africa , Asia or elsewhere. IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF EUROPE! Nobody did something. Assalamu alaikum to every Bosnians, we Turks are always behind you, our ONLY brothers in Europe.

Nov 28, 2008 - this film reminds me of my childhood.i was this boys age during the war but i had more luck than this boy, me and my family survived all that. i also lived in the building like that in the movie, and i had to run for water, just like that boy.(srećom mi smo promašeni, svi koji smo ostali živi...). While i lived in sarajevo during the war i was 9, 10 years old and those explosions seemed like a normal thing to hear every day.

Nov 28, 2008 - Incredible. This film really captured the contrast between different life experiences happening simultaneously. I often think about what is happening in other parts of the world, in other people's lives, in the same moment. I am so thankful that I haven't experienced what this boy has - not yet, anyway.

Nov 9, 2008 - Great film.. I just wish they didn't use that cheesy camera effect whenever there's an explosion. They could have just shaken the camera.
