Sarajevo Film Festival was established by Obala Art Centre in 1995 and is already acknowledged as one of the most important film events in the region. The First Sarajevo Film Festival, held in the besieged city under constant bombardment, could have seemed more like a bizarre act of resistance than a real film festival. However, the seriousness and high quality of the first festival and its annual continuation proves what it really was and is about. Over the course of its 9 days, the 11 th Sarajevo Festival was attended by more than 100,000 film lovers, 800 accredited guests, and 400 journalists who had a chance to see 170 films.

The Sarajevo Film Festival brings its local audiences the best in international independent and commercial film production. At the same time it provides a venue where new films from the region of Southeast Europe can be seen. We continue to refine the Festival program in order to fulfil one of our primary objectives—to encourage regional film production and promotion. Competition program is main program of SFF and it is a showcase of the feature, documentary and short films from Slovenia , Croatia , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Serbia , Montenegro , FRY Macedonia, Albania , Bulgaria , Romania , Hungary and Greece and Turkey .
