“We started immediately to think what to do with our festival,” Purivatra toldon the eve of Sarajevo’s 26th edition, which runs Aug. 14-21. Even though the festival’s opening night was still months away, “we had [in mind] the worst-case scenario that it could be a bad situation with the numbers of COVID-19” cases in Bosnia.
Despite the setback and the frantic, last-minute preparations, the Sarajevo Film Festival has put together a robust program of screenings, workshops, presentations, panel discussions and industry events, starting with opening night film “Focus, Grandma,” by director and Sarajevo native Pjer Žalica, who opened the festival with “Fuse” in 2003 and “Days and Hours” in 2004.
Tataragić sees a common thread in films that “represent and follow the tradition of East and South European cinema, which is somehow always connected to common people and their everyday burdens and problems.”
