Domik Moll: I am happy to be in Sarajevo
Thank you very much, it's a very long way to the stage. And a very impressive audience. I'm very happy to be here, said Moll
The film CASE 137 by Dominik Moll was screened at the Coca-Cola Open Air Cinema as part of the Open Air Programme of the 31st Sarajevo Film Festival. Before the screening, director Domink Moll greeted the audience.
"Thank you very much, it's a very long way to the stage. And a very impressive audience. I'm very happy to be here. This is actually the third place the film has been shown. It premiered in May in Cannes, then at another film festival in France and this is the third screening, first outside France. I'm very happy to be in Sarajevo. I will say a few words about the Yellow Vest Movement, in case anyone is not familiar with it. The film takes place in late 2018 and early 2019, the Yellow Vest Movement protested against the increase in living costs, the new taxation system and the reduction of living standards. This is the context of the film. One of the main characters investigates the case of a young man who was injured during a demonstration on the Champs-Élysées, near Le Palais de l'Élysée where the President of the Republic of France is located. The story is based on real events.
