The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent

The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent

Director Nebojša Slijepčević / 2024 / France,Croatia,Bulgaria,Slovenia

Winner of the Cannes Short Film Palme d’Or, this razor-sharp, ultra-tense standoff offers a cinematic tribute to a real wartime figure.

Recreating the 1993 Štrpci massacre in Bosnia, where 19 civilians were pulled off a train and executed by a Serbian nationalist paramilitary group, this meticulous work of mounting tension is both a tribute to a hero and a study in the bystander effect. It effectively asks viewers: with danger in the air, would you speak up, or stay quiet?
