MACONDO, a German-Austrian co-production, will be screened at the National Theatre, on the fourth day of the 20th Sarajevo Film Festival. MACONDO is a feature film by Sudabeh Mortezai in competition as part of our Competition Programme - Features.

The film tells the story of an eleven-year-old boy Ramasan.  He must take on the role of the head of the household and take care of his mother and sisters. But the centre of his world is Macondo, a tough ethnic neighbourhood in the industrial suburbs of Vienna.
