The title of Kumjana Novakova's film, a second one about the war crimes committed in Bosnia, and which she prefers to call a "performative research" rather than a documentary, is misleading. Instead of talking about the silence of reason, it presents us with the exact opposite, and an even more terrifying opposite: reason, method, the capacity for systematisation used in the service of ethnic annihilation. The tortures inflicted on Muslim women and girls in the town of Foča, the constant sexual torture, the establishment of camps where they were kept at the disposal of Serbian soldiers and then sold as sex slaves to the Montenegrin partisans, go beyond, in scope and intentionality, the isolated case of rapes that have so long been considered the inevitable collateral damage of armed conflict. The events, which Novakova illustrates through an intense graphic processing of various archival footage recorded by amateurs in the spaces where these horrors were perpetrated, have come to set a precedent that such behaviour, which was approved by the highest military authorities, constitute war crimes, but the film more readily make us turn our eyes back to the individual human tragedies that refuse to become mere pages of history.
