In 1993, Bekir Hasanović purchased a handheld camcorder, and began recording in the midst of the Bosnian war.

Almost thirty years later, his son – filmmaker Ado Hasanovic – plays the tapes and discovers a deeply entrenched account of life in Srebrenica as the war raged on, recorded by his father and a motley crew of friends.

Interweaving extracts from Bekir’s diaries, Ado paints a double portrait: the family today, mired in a silence typical of long-endured trauma, alongside worn-out images of the community then – filled with humour, pride and the palpable fear of what was to come.

Bekir was one of the few men to survive the Srebrenica massacre. In My Father’s Diaries, Ado, along with his mother, Fatima, starts deciphering the tragic history of not only his family, but an entire people.
