THEME

XXIV International Festival Sarajevo

"Sarajevo Winter 2008"
The theme „Barricades Without Borders- New (Brave) World opens up the question of dialogue between different generations which participated, each in their own way, in creating a new world while destroying the barricades between their dreams, their goals and the world which surrounds them and in which they live. Every generation is confronted with the same experience: that in front and behind them stand barricades without borders. The creation of a new world means life in a "brave world." Through the art of life, at the Festival we will explore the relationship between the generation of the second half of the twentieth century from the time of the student unrest in 1968 up to today. Through urban communication of artists, the general public, and historians with their contemporary problems/interests we will seek the key point of their encounter. The festival will be held within the framework of the year of European inter-cultural dialogue and in a special way will be linked to the encounters of Euro-Mediterranean creators. In accordance with tradition, the festival in its first week will mark the twenty-fourth anniversary of the fourteenth Winter Olympic Games, held in Sarajevo.

After starting as Alice in the musical “Alice in Wonderland” and playing in “The Sound Of Music”, Cátia Garcia presents her new show, a tribute to the relationship between fado and cinema. Although dispersed in the time and a small number of films, the relationship between fado and Portuguese cinema (and some international films) is of great importance, being in the basis of some of the most remarkable Portuguese films, such as “Severa”, “A Canção de Lisboa”, “Capas Negras” or “Verdes Anos”. It is this relationship that Cátia Garcia emphasizes in this show, in a journey through times, films, actors, composers, fado singers and producers, all brought together by the cinema and the fado. This is a journey through the cinema and the fado, this Portuguese peculiar way of being…
