The film was recently reviewed for FilmInk by a New York based cinephile and programmer Michael Pardy. And you can read that review here: https://www.filmink.com.au/boy-among-the-ruins-by-saidin-salkic/
It would be unimaginable for anyone else to make this “palpable” anti-war statement of the times but a director whose own boyhood was marked by genocide in his home town of Srebrenica, Bosnia.

Along with Boy Among the Ruins this first Festival of Saidin Salkic Film will show his most recent, highly anticipated 21st film Frightened (62 mins), co-starring Australian veteran actor John Flaus (Jack Irish, The Castle). Both screenings will be the World Premieres of both films. This is an unmissable opportunity for all the Melbourne cinema lovers to experience the work of the ” master of mood” and of arguably the leading Australian contemporary filmmaker away from the mainstream.
Along with Salkic, audiences will have the opportunity to take part in q&a with the veteran actor John Flaus, Senses of Cinema editor Fiona Villela and other guests.
