Sarajevo: State in Time background

Sarajevo: State in Time

Shot in six European countries, it tells the story of the concerts given by cult underground band Laibach during the siege of Sarajevo back in 1995.

Besieged Sarajevo, 1995. The inhabitants have now been living under the siege for three years and their daily life has become a nightmare due to the shellfire and the snipers. While many are joining the fights, another form of resistance is rising: culture allows people to claim their humanity. In this atmosphere of humanitarian and artistic emergency, the industrial punk band Laibach and the artists of NSK ("Neue Slowenische Kunst", New Slovenian Art) traveled across burning ex-Yugoslavia to Sarajevo to proclaim the city as a territory of the NSK State in Time. They performed two shows, brought art exhibitions and gave away passports that helped the locals to get through the blockade imposed on the city.
