    • Synopsis
    • The documentary "Sniper Alley - To My Brother", written by Cristiana Lucia Grilli and co-directed with Francesco Toscani, tells the story of Džemil Hodžić and his extraordinary project "Sniper Alley", which collects images from world-renowned war photojournalists from the siege of Sarajevo from 1992 to 1996.

      On May 3, 1995, Džemil and his brother Amel were playing outside when a sniper started shooting at them. Amel died at the age of 16 in her mother’s arms.
      From that moment Dzemil’s childhood was inevitably interrupted.

      Over the years, Dzemil created a titanic enterprise that involved the world’s greatest photojournalists who had documented the siege of Sarajevo, portraying many children, including Amel.

      With his project Dzemil went much further and soon “Sniper Alley” became a treasure of the community.

      The story of Dzemil is the heart of the documentary around which, the stories of incredible human beings articulate, each one in its direction like many branches of a tree.

      Men and women who have chosen to stand on the right side of history without regard to ethnicity and political ideology.
      Art, cinema, music and culture as spiritual weapons against war and annihilation.

      Children trying to make sense of what was going on around them; and so they turn their own and other people’s pain into memories to keep for the future.

      “Sniper Alley – to my brother” is dedicated to Amel Hodžić who loved to draw and dreamed of becoming an artist and to all the children who despite living the horror of war, continue to dream.
