This year, FRED partnered up with Talents Sarajevo, which led to the creation of a variety of contents from the 22nd Sarajevo Film Festival.

Its program was quite different from its inaugural edition that took place last year in Sarajevo, therefore we sent one of the talents in our Talents Sarajevo press team, Janka Pozsonyi, to check it out and tell us about what happened during the final and most important day of the workshop.

PODCAST | Matt Micucci interviews Kenan Musić, general director of Youth Film Festival Sarajevo, at the 22nd Sarajevo Film Festival.

The Youth Film Festival Sarajevo is a festival primarily aimed at young people. Its aim is to shine a light on topics and problems not only of the young people of Bosnia, but also of young people around the world. It also offers workshops in film education and filmmaking for young people, and each year focuses on a specific topic.

We met its director Kenan Musić, who introduced it on FRED, during the course of the Sarajevo Film Festival, which closely precedes it. Besides introducing this year’s edition, he talks to us about the difficulties the Youth Film Festival encountered in its formative years, which it is overcoming more and more also thanks to a number of grants from cultural institutions, that has allowed it to expand its educational program.

One of the venerable things about the festival is that the screenings are free. Giving the gift of cinema to young people is among the most priceless and inspiring things that can be done nowadays from a cultural and educa tional standpoint.

The 2016 edition of Youth Film Festival Sarajevo takes place from the 25th to the 28th of August.

Through it’s seven year tradition, the festival has gathered young people from all around Europe. From last year festival content was thorougly redesigned and reorganized according to new needs of education of young people. The goal of Youth Film Festival is to educate, affirm, and promote young film creators, amateurs, professionals and connoisseurs in ages from 15 to 25 years. We consider that investing in this kind of a project would bring a lot to the local community and sustainability of film arts in the city of Sarajevo, country of Bosnia and Herzegovina and even further. Next to the competition and educational program YFF also gives attractive programs for fans of the 7th art.
