When Emmy Award winner CALLING THE GHOSTS: A STORY ABOUT RAPE, WOMEN AND WAR was released in 1996, the film was one of the first to tell the story of the women who were sexually assaulted during the war in Bosnia and their determination to bring justice and have their attacks declared war crimes.
Now, for the first time, this powerful film will be shown in Sarajevo at the Pravo Ljudski Film Festival through November 12. In addition, the festival will celebrate WMM's 40th Anniversary with some of WMM's short films: ILLUSIONS, by Julie Dash; NIGHT CRIES, by Tracey Moffatt; THE BODY BEAUTIFUL by Ngozi Onwurah; ALL WATER HAS A PERFECT MEMORY by Natalia Almada; and BUOYANT by Julie Wyman.
Both Kristen Fitzpatrick, Public Exhibition & Acquisitions Manager and Tracie Holder, Production Assistance Program Consultant, will be in attendance at the festival and speaking on panels about feminist film and distribution. Tracie's film JOE PAPP IN FIVE ACTS will also be screening.
