Four world premieres set for competitive strand.
The 2017 Sarajevo Film Festival (Aug 11-18) has revealed the titles set to feature in its documentary competition this year.
The programme includes 14 films in total, seven less than last year, focusing on a variety of topics including sexuality, family, love and survival.
Alongside four world premieres - all from Bosnia - there are several high-profile regional premieres that have bowed at other festivals.
City Of The Sun (Mzis Qalaqi) premiered at the Berlinale and had its UK bow at Sheffield Doc/Fest (winning the Art Doc prize), where fellow Sarajevo title Mr Gay Syria [pictured] had its world premiere.
Avec L’Amour premiered at HotDocs in Canada, while the Iggy Pop-narrated In Praise Of Nothing will premiere at Locarno.
