A total of 50 films will compete for the Heart of Sarajevo awards at the 31st Sarajevo Film Festival, and one film will be shown out of competition.
The Festival’s four competition sections – for feature, documentary, short and student film – will feature 16 world, 5 international, 28 regional and 2 national premieres.
This year, the Sarajevo Film Festival Programmers team led by Creative Director Izeta Građević, has seen 1036 films, including 195 feature fiction films, 291 documentary, 550 short and student titles.
“The competition programs of the 31st Sarajevo Film Festival bring together filmmakers who, each from their own perspective and in various film formats and genres, explore how we live and how we survive within complex and unstable social frameworks. The backbone of this year’s competition programs are films that, transcending national boundaries, remain true to the universal stories that shape our lives. In this range – from topics that deal with today to those that question the past – this selection opens up space to remember, through film stories, what we all have in common: the need for meaning, for closeness, for understanding – ourselves and others,” said Građević.
