Zlatko Cosic (Bosnia/USA) – Only the Chimney Stays, 2010, 5:30
In ONLY THE CHIMNEY STAYS, the fragmentation of the visuals and sounds are reflections of the displacement of people, experiences and the way we process memories. The poetic narrative is the recollection of my personal experience and the effects of not belonging here or there. Mixed with uneasy memories is a simple beauty, which moves me forward to fully enjoy my life but still be aware of the issues that surround us.
