Lume as a wife and mother, is left alone in two different period times, for different existential reasons. She hates the war, but she is forced to fight.

FRENCH PREMIERE


 

 

JURY DECLARATION

"Sea by the River and River by the Sea" presents the merging between past and present, as well as the common social conscience with that of the private and intimate. It also positions the viewer in a realm where struggling and comfort are both merged to a point where we do not differentiate what is happiness and what is sadness.



FUTURE AWARD
for a sustainable future

On 8 September 2019, Sarajevo hosts its first Pride March. Are people ready for this event?

PARIS PREMIERE

 

 

JURY DECLARATION

"Let There Be Colour" deals with an issue that is still considered a taboo in many societies, but instead on focusing on the problems of violence, hatred and rigidness, it offers hope and freedom of choice as the way to achieving understanding. For its noble agenda, throughout solid production and craft values and the message of hope, we award it with the Future Award in Bosnia and Herzegovina shorts competition.
