A Sufi, scientist and poet from Bosnia, Abdulvehh\u00e2b ibn Abdulvehh\u00e2b, whose derwish name was Ilh\u00e2m\u00ee (or Ilhamija), was born in \u017dep\u010de, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1773. He was executed in 1821 by order of Bosnian Vizier Ali D\u017eelal-pa\u0161a in Travnik because of a poem he wrote, showing his disdain towards the corruption and crime within Ottoman authorities ruling Bosnia in that period. It makes him a first Bosnian dissident.<\/p>\n

Re\u0161ad Kadi\u0107 was born in Sarajevo in 1912. Before and during the WWII he worked as a journalist and  newspapers editor. That was the reason why the communist authorities in Yugoslavia sentenced him to years in prison. After he was released he lost his civil rights and was publishing under a pseudonym. He wrote a novel called “Ilhamija’s road to death”.<\/p>\n

As a part of our work within the NEP4DISSENT<\/a> COST network, we produced a VR movie entitled “Ilhamija – the first Bosnian dissident”<\/a>, which establishes a parallel between two dissidents: Ilhamija from the Ottoman period and Re\u0161ad Kadi\u0107 from the socialist period, emphasizing the universal struggle against injustice and tragic consequences of that struggle. This is the second VR movie we created about dissidents, after Nine Dissidents<\/a> we produced in 2019.<\/p>\n

Scenario for the movie was created by Fatmir Alispahi\u0107<\/a>. As Ilhamija was executed in Travnik fortress, we selected that place for recording 360 video. The movie has 4 characters: Ilhamija, the vizier, Re\u0161ad Kadi\u0107 and his communist police investigator. The roles of Ilhamija and Re\u0161ad Kadi\u0107 are performed by Bosnian actor Mirza Mu\u0161ija<\/a> and the vizier and policeman by Aleksandar Seksan<\/a>. We are very happy and proud that such superstar actors liked our scenario and accepted the roles in our movie.<\/p>\n

The director, Tarik Hod\u017ei\u0107<\/a>, decided that parts of the movie where Ilhamija is reciting the poem for which he was persecuted will be recorded at a medieval road through Bosnian mountains. This decision is based on the fact that Ilhamija, after he was summoned by the vizier, made a trip from \u017dep\u010de to Travnik by foot, through the mountains and villages, where he discovered that his poem is very popular among the people.<\/p>\n

Filming 360 had its usual challenges. Bojan Mijatovi\u0107 was in charge of the sound and camera and we had to hide the microphones so they would not be visible in 360 video. Costumes for actors were designed by Adisa Vatre\u0161 Selimovi\u0107 and Monika Mo\u0107evi\u0107, who transformed the actors into the characters from different time periods. The make up by Naida \u0110eki\u0107 added the final touch to that transformation.<\/p>\n

Editing and postproduction of the movie was done by the director, while the music was composed by Adnan Mu\u0161anovi\u0107, who made such a great sound post-production that many people said the movie could be broadcasted as a radio drama.<\/p>\n

The promotion of the movie was followed by major BH news portals<\/a> and TVs<\/a>. We thank the BH Ministry of Civil Affairs for financial support of this production.<\/p>\n
