Our inaugural release After the War: Life post-Yugoslavia featured nine short documentaries from five award-winning, international film-makers including Jasmila Žbanic, winner of the Golden Bear award at the 2006 Berlin Film Festival. In the Spring, AMMAM released Animating Reality, a compilation of animated documentaries that covers a wide spectrum of subject matter. We released Radical Act a feature-length documentary about the role female artists played in the 1990s indie rock scene.
