Bosnian Producer Damir Ibrahimović Honored for Bringing Srebrenica Massacre to Screen

Damir Ibrahimović, a prominent figure in Bosnian cinema, passed away recently. He was regarded as a driving force in Bosnian Herzegovinian cinema as the co-founder of production company Deblokada, where he closely collaborated with his life partner and creative collaborator, filmmaker Jasmila Žbanić.

Ibrahimović, an economist by training, met Žbanić when they were both taking shelter in a bomb shelter during the 1992-1996 Siege of Sarajevo. After the conflict ended, they set up their neighborhood's first post-war video store and used the proceeds to make short films, launching Deblokada in 1998. Their early works focused on the human impact of the Bosnian War.
