altcine - 11 short Balkan documentaries for the 20th celebration of Sarajevo FF

In the middle of August - 15 to 23 - the attention of European cinematography will turn to the increasingly more prominent Balkan region. The heart of the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a symbolic heart on the festival banner, will, for the twentieth time, host the key event of the South Eastern European film scene – the Sarajevo Film Festival.

Balkan documentary filmmaking, and especially the short documentary film format, is now at its prime. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Sarajevo Film Festival, DAFilms.com, in association with the festival, offers an online birthday present- a special selection of 11 regional short films to watch for free for two entire weeks from August 4 to 17 at DAFilms.com.

And the exclusive online selection of 11 short documentary films is complemented with an equally interesting interview with Rada Sesic, the head of the documentary film competition at Sarajevo FF, about the local documentary film tradition and the festival’s remarkable jubilee.
