Sarajevo Film Festival unveils full line-up

Scroll down for line-up

The Sarajevo Film Festival (Aug 14-22) has unveiled the full line-up for its 21^st edition, including new strand 1995-2015 Dealing With The Past.

The strand includes three documentaries that tackle Bosnia’s war-torn past: The Voices of Srebrenica; The Dvor Massacre; and The Diplomat.

The first two titles will be screened together. Nedim Lončarević’s The Voices of Srebrenica is the tale of survivors of the genocide that claimed the lives of more than 8,000 people in July 1995 during the Bosnian War.

The Dvor Massacre, directed by Kasper Vedsmand and Georg Larsen, centres on a Danish officer haunted by a decision not to intervene in a situation that ultimately saw nine people executed.

David Holbrooke’s The Diplomat, first shown at Tribeca in April, tells the story of Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, whose career spanned 50 years of US foreign policy - from Vietnam and Afghanistan to Bosnia and Kosovo.

The festival previously announced the 10 competition films in the running for the Heart of Sarajevo Award, which include László Nemes’ Cannes prize winner Son of Saul and Athina Rachel Tsangari’s Chevalier.

Sarajevo also previously revealed the 23 titles set to compete in its documentary strand, including the new film from Berlinale winner Jasmila Žbanić (Grbavica), One Day in Sarajevo.

Other strands to have been unveiled include the non-competitve Kinoscope section, the Laško Sumer Nights line-up and the Open Air titles, which include opening and closing films The Second Mother (Que Horas Ela Volta?) and Virgin Mountain (Fusi)respectively.

There will be tributes to directors Brillante Mendoza and Atom Egoyan.

Eogyan will receive an Honorary Heart of Sarajevo Award during the festival, as will actor Benicio del Toro who will attend this year’s festival to present his latest film, A Perfect Day.
