Competition Programme - Documentary Film 2018

    The Sarajevo Film Festival is proud to announce the lineup of its 2018 Competition Programme - Documentary Film. Selected films strongly reflect the world that we live in, as observed through the creative prism of their auteurs, and more than a half of them will have their world or international premiere in Sarajevo. It gives us special pleasure that most of the films in our selection are their directors’ and producers’ feature-length documentary debuts. We would also like to stress that over a half of selected films were directed and produced by women.
