Synopsis
KISS THE FUTURE, directed by Nenad Cicin-Sain, produced by Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Sarah Anthony, story by Bill Carter and Cicin-Sain, screenplay by Carter, based on his memoir: "Fools Rush In,” is the story of defiance amid the 1990s siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. The film focuses on a vibrant underground community who used music and art to effect change and garner global attention by ultimately inspiring an American aid worker to reach out to the world’s biggest band U2 to help raise awareness of the devastating conflict. KISS THE FUTURE follows the band’s promise to perform a post-war concert that saw U2 play to over 45,000 local fans in a liberated city, a show that lives on as a joyous collective memory for the people of Sarajevo. KISS THE FUTURE: A Dolby Special Event will include an introduction from producers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, plus a pre-recorded post-film discussion hosted by Matt Carey (Deadline) featuring director Nenad Cicin-Sain, Vesna Andree Zaimovic and Bill Carter - in conversation with U2’s The Edge and Adam Clayton - about their personal experiences as part of the extraordinary Sarajevan creative community whose commitment to art and life and the City of Sarajevo was, and continues to be, an inspiration to so many.

Watched the world premiere at the Berlinale with Matt Damon, Bono, and the entire cast literally 10 feet behind me. I think it would be a shallow thought to only view this movie as a puff piece for U2 and not a film about war and the pointlessness of endless dying. The…
EmJan 23, 2024THE WEDDING HAD ME SOBBING 😭😭 (in all seriousness, the highlights of this doc is when it focuses on the actual people of sarajevo. and i truly wish it had more of these insights into their lives. the wedding, the beauty pageant, the underground discos. those were the…
sisypheantaskFeb 19, 2023The UN Security Council should send U2 to Ukraine and the war would end. Seriously: this movie is basically a long and unmotivated handjob for Bono

Disgusting. This documentary is a sad example of a completely one dimensional western view on the world hijacking art for its propaganda. It honestly makes me sad to see a beautiful story used in such a manipulative way. Starting off, I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of…
LucJun 12, 2023I forgive U2 for the whole downloading an album on our iPods thing
not affiliated with film distributionFeb 21, 2024We saw this documentary in Dolby with a special half hour roundtable afterwards. The roundtable was so boring and just a rehash of stuff they had already talked about in the film. I had to force myself to sit and listen to it. The documentary is pretty good. If you are…

Listen, I do not like U2, I think they're pretentious for no good reason. But, I see the point of this doc isn't to hype them but to give an idea of how much this event shook the people involved. In that I think this doc was rather beautiful in a way.
MiaAug 13, 2023An incredibly intimate, informative and moving documentary about the power of the human spirit and art against oppression. Some may come as a U2 fan, like myself, but will leave with an appreciation for the aid workers and incredible people of Sarajevo. I knew little about…

The story that Kiss the Future tells — culminating in U2’s 1997 concert in Sarajevo, two years after the Dayton Peace Agreement — offers an admirably potent blend of darkness and light. Specifically, the light that can emerge from darkness.

This movie is a time-capsule of Europe’s recent tragic past.
