AMC SETS DATES FOR U2-LED SARAJEVO DOC

The documentary Kiss the Future, which chronicles efforts by U2 and others to bring freedom to Sarajevo during the 1992-95 Bosnian War, will debut Friday (2/23) at select AMC Theatres locations.

Two days earlier, the film will also screen at AMC theaters in tandem with an introduction from producers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, as well as a pre-recorded discussion with director Nenad Cicin-Sain, writers Vesna Andree Zaimovic and Bill Carter and U2's The Edge and Adam Clayton. The Irish group's 1997 Pop Mart-era performance for 45,000 in the by then-peaceful Sarajevo figures prominently in Kiss the Future.

"The powerful message of peace is as relevant and important today as it was in September 1997 when Bill Carter and Sarajevan community leaders brought U2 to post-war Sarajevo," said Damon of the film, which premiered last year at Berlinale and later opened the Tribeca Film Festival.

Kiss the Future, which also features interviews with former President Bill Clinton and journalist Christiane Amanpour, will be available to stream on Paramount+ later this year. U2's U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere residency wraps 3/2 in Las Vegas.
