“Bosnia, where Europe Ends” is the People’s Choice as the best mobile movie of the year. This dark documentary focuses on a horrific immigration crisis in Europe. Shot primarily using an iPhone X, the six-minute movie was produced for the news channel of the Italian Radio/TV Service.
One of commenters voting in the competition wrote “Nico Piro’s movie is a look at the dramatic reality of migrants in Bosnia. But it is also a look at us, against indifference and a very human reflection on the meaning of Europe.”
Another observed: “The images show us the squalid and horrendous conditions that these migrants have to suffer trying to reach relatives or just dreams and aspirations, while many perish there on that border in a small cold and forgotten graveyard so unobtrusively filmed in this documentary.”
Nico was the co-winner of last year’s People’s Choice Award for his mini-doc “Today I Will Live,” a searing account of the forgotten victims of the latest Afghan war.
