About This Movie

Hobby is quite an intriguing documentary, capturing the surreal existence of a child in the besieged Dobrinja neighborhood of Sarajevo. The film’s tone is a mix of innocence and stark reality – you see this kid collecting bomb shells like some kids would collect toys. It's haunting yet strangely captivating. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to absorb the gravity of the situation without feeling rushed. The atmosphere is heavy, marked by the sounds of conflict and the weight of war, juxtaposed with a child's playful obsession. This contrast makes it distinctive, highlighting themes of survival and the absurdity of conflict. The rawness of the footage gives a real sense of place and time, something that’s hard to capture in more polished works.
