Abstract

The concern of this paper is twofold. First, it outlines the ethics of cinema as media as argued by the theories of André Bazin, Barthes, Ranciere, Shoshanna Feldman and Dori Laub. Second, it analysis the texts chosen as the case studies - Harrison's Flowers, The Fourth Man, The Hunting Party and Storm - that include the narratives of remembrance, witnessing and testimony. Beside offering examples of the ethical work of cinema through the moments of testimony/ witnessing, evocation of the recent past they answer the questions of the guilt, responsibility, reconciliation, forgiveness or true nature of the recent Balkan wars.
