“Talents Sarajevo 2022 will thematically address the contemporary concept of “content”, which dominates the spheres of arts, media and entertainment in our digital, Web 2.0 epoch. The very title Dis/Content critically engages with this complicated concept, omnipresent and elusive at the same time. A programme of master classes, workshops, lectures, discussions and screenings will provide a forum for a careful examination of “content” and its effects, especially those detrimental for cinema and audio-visual industry at large,” write organisers.
Founded in collaboration with Berlin International Film Festival and Berlinale Talents, Talents Sarajevo “has become the foremost regional hub for meeting and training of aspiring film professionals,” write organisers. “In times that continue to be challenging for a variety of political and economic reasons, Talents Sarajevo will continue to provide unconditional support to aspiring film professionals.”
The closing date for applications is May 31. For more information and application: www.sff.ba.
The 28th Sarajevo Film Festival will take place 12-19 August 2022.
