Film Production Professor Igor Drljca’s "The Stone Speakers" is on a World Tour!

The Stone Speakers explores four towns in Bosnia-Herzegovina through their tourism, slowly unravelling their competing narratives. Present-day Bosnia-Herzegovina is a country still reeling from the civil war in the early 90s. The Bosnian economy never recovered, and the country remains divided. In order to cope, many towns have transformed themselves into unique tourist destinations that bring together history, religion, politics and folklore. The tourist sites promoted are not only a reflection of people’s attempts to make a livelihood but are also a means to promote and establish competing narratives about the country’s past, present and future.
The Stone Speakers’, produced under the auspices of Igor’s company: Time Lapse Pictures, national premiere was at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018 and then was shown shortly after at the Vancouver International Film Festival in the fall. Its European premiere was at the prestigious Berlinale, Berlin International Film Festival, in Germany.
On April 22, its United States premiere was in New York City at The Film Society of Lincoln Centre in a festival called the Art of the Real.
The Asian Premiere is at Jeonju International Film Festival 전주국제영화제, runs this week on May 8, 7 & 9.
