Kosovo: Can You Imagine?
Canadian filmmaker Boris Malagurski turns his camera on the Serb communities still living inside Kosovo, mostly in enclaves and monasteries protected by fences, checkpoints, and international peacekeepers. Interviews with residents of towns like Gracanica and villages in the north describe daily life under the threat of harassment, restricted movement, and the destruction of churches and homes since the 1999 war and the 2008 declaration of independence. The film revisits the NATO bombing campaign and the mass displacement that followed, using archival news footage alongside present-day testimony from people who never left or who returned to find their houses gone. Malagurski, who has made several films on the breakup of Yugoslavia, presses local officials and ordinary Serbs on whether coexistence with the Albanian majority is possible and whether the international community's account of the conflict matches what residents describe. The result is a pointed, one-sided argument for the Serb side of the Kosovo dispute, built on firsthand accounts rather than balanced reporting.
