Money & Happiness

In a little house in Reading, Maja Bilić agrees it is time to compose a piece of music that could have defined her career - had it not been for the Bosnian war. To finish the piece she must return home, where her old piano still stands, untouched since 1992, to finally perform her piece of music. The film is an intervention, a collaboration, and an immersion between the director and her mother.


Aleksandra Bilić is a director and producer specializing in documentary films; she is originally from Bosnia but her family fled to the UK during the Bosnian conflict. She is interested in work that deals with issues of displacement and working with female talent. She directed a short film Sounds of Tehran as a collaboration with a female sound designer Nesa in Iran. Her second project as a director, The Score, is a film made from an urge to give back to her mother who sacrificed a lot for her. She hosted and helped create a podcast called Untold Killing in collaboration with Remembering Srebrenica which recently received a Lovie award. Recent producer credits include The Great Hack and The Masses. She is an alumnus of Berlinale Talents in Sarajevo 2016, Sheffield Future Producers 2017, IDFAcademy 2017 and Film Independent Documentary Lab 2020.
