The 17th Sarajevo Film Festival will be held from 22 to 30 July 2011.
Sarajevo Film Festival is an international film festival. Its specific aim lies in promoting and aiding the development of regional cinematography and authors. Its goal is to act as the main meeting point where international and regional cinema converge in a spirit of cooperation and cultural exchange through the presentation of the finest and most recent achievements in world cinema. Sarajevo Film Festival dedicates its Competition Programme solely to regional film, showing international and world premieres of films from Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey and UNMI Kosovo. The spirit of the festival is one of discovery and it strives to act as a catalyst for the development of South-Eastern European Cinema, particularly through its Co-Production Market CineLink, and the launching of the finest achievements in regional cinema on the wider European scene.
