Never before, during the course of a war, have all the heads of the rival states told the inside story of the decisive moments of conflict. A unique chance to see this six-episode award-winning documentary series and to take part in the following discussion. The aim is to understand some of the mechanisms that led to the atrocities and war crimes in the former Yugoslavia, and whether there are lessons to be learned from this that still have importance in conflicts today. Take the
whole day. See all of it, or come in the evening and see a selected part and follow the discussion. No registration, no entrance fee! Daytime: Screening of The Death of Yugoslavia 1-6 (Angus MacQueen, Norma Percy, Brook Lapping/BBC, UK 1995/96, 6x50 min) Following the growing conflict from 1988 till the Dayton agreement in 1995. Evening: Film Screening and discussion. Episode 3: Wars of Independence followed by discussion: Lessons learned and not. From Yugoslavia to Georgia Food served after discussion. See full program below. The six-episode series The Death of Yugoslavia is unique in its way of capturing the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, almost day-to-day and following all the local and international leaders and envoys, from states, military, militias, EU, NATO and UN, not only how they dealt with the conflict officially, but how they were thinking at the time and sometimes commenting with a couple of months or years of afterthought. It starts in 1988 and ends with the Dayton agreement at the end of 1995. This is probably the only chance to see this highly awarded documentary in any public screening in Norway. Are there lessons to be learned from the history of the collapse of the Yugoslavian republic when dealing with todays conflicts on the edges of Europe and Russia?
