About Belvedere
Ruveyda is like most residents of the Belvedere refugee camp: a widow yearning to forget the tragedy of war 15 years after the ethnic cleansing of Bosnia and Herzegovina. But unlike those around her, she spends most of her days in a bittersweet routine of caring for her extended family, and searching for the remains of her husband and son—both of which offer a precarious hope that is one day tested when her nephew is selected to participate in a reality show in a former enemy enclave. An emotionally rich portrait of war’s troubled aftermath, director Ahmed Imamović’s film paints an uncommon image of patience, faith, love, and above all, forgiveness.
Written and directed by Ahmed Imamović

About Us
We’re a group of Bosnian Canadians who volunteer our time annually to organize events coinciding with the Srebrenica Genocide. 100% of the money from ticket sales will be invested in sustainable projects in the Srebrenica region (the purchase of motorcultivators, cows, sheep or goats for returnee families). The money will be sent to a charitable organization in Bosnia & Hercegovina (TBD, however we will update this page as soon as we’ve identified which one) via the Bosnian Canadian Relief Association (a registered charity in Canada).
