Comprising four themed sections including an International Competition, as well as a comprehensive (and inaugural) Industry Days programme, the Sarajevo-based fest will run 9-13 September. “Aware of the fact that peace as the highest ideal is eluding mankind again, we found inspiration and faith in a better tomorrow in authentic and touching human stories that return the focus to the ordinary man, providing us with an insight into his fear, hope, regret – and cry for peace,” write organisers.
