Sarajevo Film Festival Selects 19 World Premieres in Competition Sections


Sarajevo Film Festival, which focuses on Southeast Europe, Ukraine and South Caucasus, has selected 54 films to compete for Heart of Sarajevo awards.

Jovan Marjanović, director of the festival, said the awards would “amplify voices from the region and bring them closer to the global audience.” Marjanović said the program makes the event “once again the place where the broadest audience, as well as film professionals and critics, can gain the most accurate image of film art in Southeast Europe, Ukraine, and the South Caucasus today.” He added: “These regions are simultaneously in the spotlight and on the margins of global attention, and the festival provides a unique opportunity for a deeper understanding of all nuances of experience from the geopolitical and artistic margins that are often missing in forming a complex picture of the present day.”
