The British actor and comedian, screenwriter and producer John Cleese was a special guest of this year’s Sarajevo Film Festival, and he also received the Honorable Heart of Sarajevo award.

After he came home in the UK, Cleese confirmed that the award really touched him and that he was delighted with his stay in Sarajevo with his posts on Twitter.

When I was leaving the Sarajevo Film Festival, I was given a bottle of Dom Perignon as a final gift
Sadly, I put it in my hand luggage…

Having just spent four days in Sarajevo, I wonder how a competent Commission could have allowed four years of genocide before intervening…

— John Cleese (@JohnCleese) August 20, 2017

During the four year siege, due to shelling and sniping by Bosnian Serbs (supported by Belgrade) 1600 people died, including 1600 children

Cleese also visited the Jewish cemetery during his visit to Sarajevo, which is the second largest sacral complex and one of the most valuable memorial complexes in Europe, and this place was also on the front line during the siege of the capital city of BiH.

After the Jewish cemetery, he visited Trebevic as well.

Cleese will return to Sarajevo again next year as a jury member of the Competition Program of the SFF.
