10 minutes by Ahmed Imamovic

This is a very powerful short film. It shows how much life can change in 10 minutes. It contrasts between life of fear, danger and the development of technology. 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. 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. In the film there is a magnificant sequence done all in one shot following a boy to get water for his family. This film has won many awards in the short film category and was voted best european short film in 2002.
