Trailer for Exceptional ‘Kiss the Future’ Doc About U2’s Bono & Sarajevo

“Having a disco in the middle of a war is the only thing that kept us going.” AMC Theatres has revealed an official trailer for an outstanding documentary film titled Kiss the Future, from filmmaker Nenad Cicin-Sain. This premiered at the Berlinale 2023 but didn’t make much of an impact there (I was one of the only ones to see it). Thankfully AMC has stepped up and is giving it a proper nationwide release in AMC cinemas later in February. Kiss the Future celebrates the underground art & music scene that thrived during the siege of Sarajevo. The biggest band in the world, U2, lead by Bono, paid attention and shined a light on the crisis in an effort to support the besieged Sarajevans. The film culminates in a post-war unification concert. A cautionary tale about the rise of nationalism, and an uplifting celebration of the power of the human spirit and art as a tool of survival & inspiration. I am a BIG fan of this doc – I still think about it all the time a year later. It’s remarkably relevant regarding what is happening in Palestine, a similar tragic story, but without the support of U2 this time. The doc features Bono, The Edge, Christiane Amanpour, and more. A must see. // Continue Reading ›
