00:00:0050 years, I guess he wouldn't have waited for me, maybe someone would have finished it before
00:00:03us, and it's a simple thing, you've heard of something called
00:00:07bypasses, that is, highways that bypass cities, the word itself
00:00:10bypass means it bypasses, it doesn't go through the middle of
00:00:14the city, the idea and concept of a city highway in Sarajevo was actually at that
00:00:18time a bypass in the 60s, when there were no settlements on
00:00:22the other side, and you, of course, bypassed the city and passed through transit
00:00:25further towards Pale. Now, after all that has been built, to integrate
00:00:28a bypass. The category of road that a bypass is, through the middle of
00:00:32the city, is completely senseless. We, of course, as
00:00:35a municipality, live with that problem,
00:00:39you constantly talk about it, it's very simple, well, we do
00:00:42that, we did Džemala Bedića street, we provided a solution for it to be
00:00:45a road with four lanes with access from all sides, and that's no
00:00:49problem at all, it even completely revives the area, but
00:00:52these expressways and highways, they somehow create a barrier
00:00:56due to the calculated speed of driving, when you drive at 80, and
00:01:00there is no road where you drive at 80 km/h without
00:01:02access except at grade-separated interchanges, and we
00:01:06are against our municipality being cut off by a road where the calculated speed is 80
00:01:10because later you can no longer connect, you completely
00:01:12separate some parts of the city and I am glad that there are some
00:01:16experts and authorities in Sarajevo who have explained the history
00:01:20of this project but also what it would actually mean for the city. We
00:01:24have been dealing with concrete projects for over 10 years,
00:01:28we have built numerous roads. I invite them to build the first
00:01:31transverse, let them try to complete it, it has been
00:01:34a priority for the last eight years, everything that has been done, has been done in
00:01:38the new city, of new roads that we
00:01:41designed as a municipality and sought possible solutions in urban
00:01:44conditions, so you have urban conditions where both property and
00:01:48functional problems are real and where if you don't
00:01:51take care of that, you will never build it and we proposed that it
00:01:55be realistic to build it especially since there is no space for those
00:01:58two if you build a city. The highway now, that
00:02:02road, we are talking about Drinska and Safuta Zajke streets, is used by
00:02:05the surrounding neighborhoods, if you build a highway, they cannot access it, you have to
00:02:09build another one for them, there is simply no space on both sides for
00:02:12one, on the other side there are companies, on the other side there are
00:02:16settlements, there is no space in that corridor, there is simply
00:02:19no, no place for both a fast city road and service
00:02:23roads, one road can be both, an example is Džemala Bedića street
00:02:26or some others that are simply accessible. That's the whole difference, but I think the people
00:02:30who advocated this
00:02:34solution for a highway understand these things, they understand that
00:02:38a bypass is not built through the city, it must
00:02:40bypass it, the purpose of a city highway was a bypass at
00:02:44that time there were really no settlements on the other side, today building
00:02:48a bypass through the city, that doesn't exist anywhere in the world, I believe that in the end
00:02:51they will give up on that, because the city needs a larger capacity
00:02:55of traffic, but one that the city uses, when
00:02:57we talk about concrete projects for the regulation of Le Miljacka, so it is
00:03:01in some phase of work, when can citizens expect
00:03:05the promenade to be fully connected from the border with Novi
00:03:08Sarajevo to the furthest parts of the new city, given that construction currently
00:03:12seems to be underway? Well, most of the regulation of
00:03:15the area along the Miljacka River itself, we have completed,
00:03:19we have a part that has been finished at Meander Island, a part in the Hrasno settlement
00:03:23that was finished this week, we have two more sections so that from
00:03:26the bridge on the street, or on the boulevard, near
00:03:30the municipality building to the border with Novi Sarajevo we would have a promenade along the Miljacka River,
00:03:33and from that point we have to the border with Ilidža along the main
00:03:37city road, countless such projects, we have similar ones in
00:03:40Dobrinja, but where the state does its job,
00:03:43the results are visible. Our wish is that just as we work
00:03:47in Novi Grad, we can try to replicate some of these
00:03:50things at higher levels, to deal with concrete
00:03:54projects that must be backed by knowledge, not platitudes and
00:03:57not slogans, populism cannot
00:04:00bring real results. On the other hand, when something needs to be stopped, that
00:04:03also requires knowledge and backbone, and then we won't wonder how we
00:04:07made some mistakes, we shouldn't make them. Will you actually insist on those topics
00:04:11in the campaign or will national issues be
00:04:14dominant, given that we know that here in
00:04:17the elections, all who can, mostly stick to those national
00:04:21topics. We determine that ourselves, the campaign topics
00:04:24are determined by the election campaign itself, where we are not the only actors, other
00:04:27parties in co- this. In correlation with them, the main topics of the campaign
00:04:31will somehow be determined. These national topics are definitely
00:04:35always present in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and will be
00:04:38this time too. I would like there to be more
00:04:42topics concerning concrete life. It is impossible
00:04:45for our healthcare to have billions at the annual level, and in the end
00:04:49the patient does not have a doctor who can adequately treat them. For us to have
00:04:52so many funds for road construction, and for you to have these
00:04:56Teen Arena program traffic jams from Mostar to Sarajevo every year. The same
00:04:59story, we spend huge amounts of money in all areas, so it is not a
00:05:03lack of money, but mismanagement,
00:05:07lack of organization and priorities set in
00:05:10a correct way, and all the causes are somewhere in the political
00:05:14system, the system of parties that then shift responsibility from one
00:05:18to another, and that's how our whole mandate passes, and at the moment when
00:05:21a plan is established for the next four years, sometime after the elections,
00:05:25people take it lightly, they say the Council of Ministers was formed
00:05:28the fastest, what's the use of fast if there
00:05:31is no plan behind it? Thank you very much, Mr. Efendić, for being our guest and for discussing
00:05:35these topics. Thank you for the invitation. Semir Efendić, President

00:10:38and foreign guests, film professionals, and audiences every year.
00:10:41In addition to film screenings, the festival days are accompanied by a rich
00:10:44program of events throughout the city. Is everything ready for the start of the 32nd edition
00:10:48of the festival? We are checking that with Andrejana Cop, spokeswoman
00:10:52for this biggest film event in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Andriana, good day to you and thank you
00:10:56for your time, given that we know you have numerous obligations at this
00:10:59moment.
00:11:02Good day, thank you for the invitation.
00:11:05Sarajevo, therefore, is once again from today for the next eight days under the sign of film.
00:11:09How demanding is it organizationally to transform the entire city
00:11:13into a festival stage during the
00:11:15SFF?
00:11:19It is certainly very demanding, it is certainly very challenging
00:11:22to have such a large
00:11:25festival with about 150,000 entries
00:11:28to film screenings, to accompanying
00:11:32events, with about 3,100 film
00:11:36professionals, so it is organizationally demanding when
00:11:40you talk about locations, which range from the old
00:11:43town to Ilidža, there are numerous festival locations,
00:11:47in addition, during the Sarajevo Film
00:11:50Festival, we have screenings in Tuzla from August 14th to
00:11:5321st.
00:11:55It is very demanding to transform what
00:11:59is not a festival location, an open-air cinema, into
00:12:03a location where people will enjoy films
00:12:07in excellent conditions and
00:12:10watch films, so it is very demanding,
00:12:13but I must say that the satisfaction is great when
00:12:17you work on it for a long time, when it is done responsibly, when a large number
00:12:21of people work together on such a large
00:12:24project, then when you see such a special atmosphere in
00:12:27the city, then people in cinemas watching
00:12:30films, laughing together, sometimes sad together, sometimes
00:12:34mourning together, that is something truly irreplaceable,
00:12:38something for which we are very grateful to our
00:12:41audience. Yes, this year the audience expects about
00:12:44200 films, 51 of which are competing for
00:12:47the Heart of Sarajevo. What makes the 32nd edition
00:12:51of the festival different from the previous ones? For example, from last year's
00:12:54or the one from two years ago.
00:12:57It's
00:13:01hard for me to say what distinguishes
00:13:04it, 270 films will be shown
00:13:07in various festival programs. What
00:13:11doesn't distinguish it is the quality program,
00:13:14I mentioned 270 films, you said 51
00:13:18films in competition programs, for those
00:13:2151 films, the selection team reviewed a thousand.
00:13:25215 films to choose the films that will be in
00:13:29the competition, in contention for the Heart of Sarajevo,
00:13:32for the Sarajevo Film Festival awards. What
00:13:35characterizes this year's program is its diversity,
00:13:39it's a diversity of themes, styles,
00:13:42mm, mm, different themes that
00:13:45authors deal with in different programs, and what
00:13:49I can also highlight as a novelty is the new Sarajevo
00:13:52Film Festival award that is awarded in the Open Air
00:13:56Premieres program, where we show the most anticipated regional
00:13:59film achievements, achievements from the former
00:14:03Yugoslavia, and where the audience will decide the winner of
00:14:06an award called Prineplex, amounting to
00:14:0920,000 euros and awarded for the best
00:14:13film in terms of marketing services and monetary
00:14:17funds. What is also specific about this year's
00:14:21festival is the film that
00:14:25will close this year's festival, the restored version of Danis Tanović's
00:14:28No Man's Land, Oscar winner. The festival
00:14:32audience will be the first to have the opportunity to see that
00:14:35restored film, certainly an opportunity to remind ourselves of
00:14:39it, for new generations to perhaps get to know it, to
00:14:43see, to understand how relevant that theme still
00:14:46is. Another specificity is the film
00:14:50Welcome to Sarajevo, which is shown in the Open
00:14:53Air program, it was shown at the third Sarajevo Film Festival in
00:14:561997. We are watching it on
00:15:0035-millimeter film reel, so in the same
00:15:03way we watched it almost 30 years ago, with one of the actors
00:15:07from that film, Woody Harrelson, recipient of the Honorary
00:15:10Heart of Sarajevo at the 32nd edition of the festival. So,
00:15:14since you mentioned the film that will close the festival, let's talk about the one that will
00:15:18open the festival. It is opening with the Oscar winner Paweł
00:15:21Pawlikowski's "Očevina". What somewhere
00:15:25decided that this particular film would be the introduction to this year's
00:15:28SFF?
00:15:31A film that had its world premiere at this year's Cannes
00:15:35festival and won the award for best direction, a film
00:15:39that in a way speaks of memory, of remembrance,
00:15:42it speaks of Thomas Mann who travels through a devastated
00:15:46Germany, through his homeland,
00:15:48confronting the country he remembers, which he now sees perhaps
00:15:52with different eyes, but who confronts
00:15:55his devastated family, so that
00:15:58this, this theme of memory,
00:16:02confrontation, is something that is very close to
00:16:05the festival audience, the Sarajevo Film Festival, of course,
00:16:08and the film's author Paweł Pawlikowski, whose film Cold War
00:16:12in 2018 opened the Sarajevo Film
00:16:15Festival. A year after that, Pawlikowski received the Honorary
00:16:19Heart of Sarajevo award for his contribution to the film industry.
00:16:23So the connection between Pawlikowski and Sarajevo and his
00:16:26films is indeed strong, and we are very
00:16:30glad that his latest film is opening this year's
00:16:34festival.
00:16:36SFP has long outgrown the scope of a film event, it has become
00:16:40a tourist and cultural brand of Sarajevo. How much does the city
00:16:43actually benefit economically and promotionally during this festival
00:16:46week?
00:16:48Well,
00:16:52the Sarajevo Film Festival's impact on culture,
00:16:56economy, and tourism of Sarajevo and Bosnia and
00:16:59Herzegovina was analyzed a few years ago with concrete data being published.
00:17:03Of course, its contribution cannot always be expressed only in
00:17:05numbers, but for example, data from the Tourist Board
00:17:09shows that during the week of the Sarajevo Film Festival,
00:17:12they record 30,000 more
00:17:15overnight stays than in the week before or the week after
00:17:19the Sarajevo Film Festival. So
00:17:23its impact is certainly very large. What
00:17:25is very significant for us is its impact on the film
00:17:28industry, on culture, of course, on society,
00:17:32because a study that was published a few years ago by an
00:17:35independent firm
00:17:39Oldsberg that deals with creative industries
00:17:42showed that the Sarajevo Film Festival creates a strong
00:17:45sense of community among the local
00:17:48audience, that it brings an exceptionally
00:17:51positive international image that goes from Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:17:55to the world during these few days of the festival, that Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:17:58is recognizable in international
00:18:01frameworks for a few
00:18:05events, among others the start of the First
00:18:07World War, the Winter Olympics and the Sarajevo Film
00:18:11Festival which has been held for over three
00:18:14decades. Let's talk a little about domestic film.
00:18:17The BH film program this year brings as many as 62
00:18:21titles. Is that an indication that the domestic film scene,
00:18:24despite all these problems that filmmakers have been talking about lately,
00:18:27still has a productive period that is
00:18:30continuing? Is it
00:18:33still going on? Well,
00:18:39Bosnian-Herzegovinian cinematography
00:18:43has its ups and downs, and when it comes to financing, what
00:18:47is clear is that
00:18:50the film industry of Bosnia and Herzegovina must have
00:18:53continuity to show its quality.
00:18:57It has shown that it has strong authors, that it has
00:19:00globally recognized authors, talented authors
00:19:04who create their works, who make
00:19:07films that win major awards,
00:19:11sometimes not thanks to the system but
00:19:14despite the system, so we are glad that the festival audience
00:19:18will see domestic achievements. There are several
00:19:21films starring domestic actors,
00:19:24mm, a film festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a large
00:19:28festival like the Sarajevo Film Festival, it is very important
00:19:31to have a strong domestic cinematography,
00:19:34that especially. This time, the focus will also be
00:19:36on student films, young authors. How important is it for
00:19:40the Sarajevo Film Festival to be a launching pad for a new
00:19:44generation of filmmakers, who, fortunately, are
00:19:47not lacking?
00:19:49Well,
00:19:52the Sarajevo Film Festival has always worked and continues to work
00:19:56to be a platform for young talented film
00:19:59professionals. We have several segments where the
00:20:02festival works on the
00:20:05education of young people, but also on giving them the opportunity to
00:20:09show what they do. You mentioned
00:20:12the student program, we have a competitive student
00:20:15program, exactly. We also have
00:20:19several projects where we invite young people to shoot
00:20:22their films, where the best films will be
00:20:25shown
00:20:27in the festival program, that is, for example, Films for
00:20:30Future, we have a Children's
00:20:33where films for children
00:20:37from the age of seven and older are shown, and where
00:20:40we invite young people to participate, to be members of the jury for these programs
00:20:44and to choose the best film in those programs.
00:20:48These are films that deal with themes that are close to
00:20:52young people, which in a way educate them to critically
00:20:55reflect on the world in which they live, the society in which
00:20:59they are surrounded. We also have
00:21:01the "I Love Film" program where a special group of
00:21:04film enthusiasts, i.e., film lovers, gets a special
00:21:08program that accompanies the program of
00:21:11the 32nd edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival. Also,
00:21:15the educational platform of the Sarajevo Film Festival for those
00:21:19at the beginning of their professional careers is
00:21:22Talent Sarajevo, mm,
00:21:24which, through various segments such
00:21:28as directing, acting,
00:21:31producing studio, and so on, and through discussions with
00:21:35mentors, where we work on advancing their careers,
00:21:38so about 60 of them gather in Sarajevo every year
00:21:42who work with their mentors and
00:21:45perfect the area of the film industry
00:21:49they are involved in, in which they want to specialize
00:21:52further. Andrejana, let me ask you one more important
00:21:56thing, this year's BH film program
00:21:58brings as many as 35
00:22:01world premieres. How difficult is it to secure that
00:22:04authors present their films for the first time in
00:22:08Sarajevo, given the multitude of other
00:22:11festivals?
00:22:15Well, if we are talking about the competitive programs of
00:22:17the Sarajevo Film Festival, well,
00:22:20a festival that has existed for 32 years, which has
00:22:24built its recognizable style,
00:22:27recognizable program, we can also say, competitive
00:22:30program, mm, it is certain that
00:22:33authors choose the Sarajevo Film Festival for a
00:22:37reason for the first screening of their film, that what
00:22:40they do, the Sarajevo Film Festival has a special
00:22:44energy thanks to the city in which it operates,
00:22:47mm, Sarajevo cinemas, the Film Festival is full,
00:22:51what authors do, they do it for the audience, of course, and for
00:22:54film critics, because in Sarajevo there are about 700
00:22:58accredited media representatives, there are film professionals, as I mentioned,
00:23:01representatives of film centers, so a strong professional
00:23:05scene of the film industry, but what
00:23:08authors want most of all is an encounter with
00:23:12the audience, the Sarajevo Film Festival has an audience,
00:23:15it has a special energy, that's what
00:23:19filmmakers recognize,
00:23:23appreciate, and that's why they come to Sarajevo and keep
00:23:26returning to Sarajevo. Well, since we're already talking about the audience, what
00:23:30do you recommend to those who might be at the Sarajevo Film Festival for the first time
00:23:33this year, uh, where should they start and what
00:23:37should they definitely see at this 32nd SFF?
00:23:40They
00:23:43often ask me that, so I prepared a good answer to that
00:23:47question, a bit diplomatic, to take
00:23:50the festival journal, because the festival journal contains our entire
00:23:53program, that is, all film synopses, screening
00:23:57schedules, to find the film, the location where
00:24:01they will watch it, they will surely enjoy it, to
00:24:04watch programs that they might not otherwise watch, such
00:24:08as, for example, programs mm partner
00:24:11programs, Partners Presents, Kinoskop, which brings
00:24:15new authorial film voices. Some people like the
00:24:19Summer Screen program, but maybe they'll discover a film they'll watch
00:24:23with their whole family in the Children's and Teen Arena program. There are really many
00:24:27films, and the goal of the Sarajevo Film Festival is
00:24:31shared film viewing and then discussion
00:24:34about those films. I must mention again confronting
00:24:38the past, Human Rights Day, so I invite everyone
00:24:41to browse festival journal, to
00:24:44choose a film, to watch something
00:24:48unexpected, something that... they are not sure if they will
00:24:51like it, let them try to watch something new, something
00:24:55different, maybe they will discover a completely new program and
00:24:58location where they will enjoy themselves in the future. Andrejana,
00:25:02finally, when the spotlights turn off on the 21st
00:25:05of this month, what would you like the audience to
00:25:09remember about the 32nd Sarajevo Film
00:25:11Festival?
00:25:15For good films, for an excellent program, for
00:25:19togetherness. For good energy,
00:25:21for, for some
00:25:25old feeling of socializing, watching
00:25:28films together, shared laughter, silence
00:25:32in the cinema hall while the film
00:25:34is playing. And I have to ask you one more thing at the end,
00:25:38every year SFF has some surprise for the
00:25:42audience, a guest who was not announced
00:25:45before, will there be one this time, do we have
00:25:48an ace up our sleeve that we are saving until the last moment, if
00:25:52it will surprise the audience on the red
00:25:55carpet?
00:25:58I'm trying to remember, who was the surprise last
00:26:01year? "But maybe I'm too much into this year's festival edition so
00:26:05I can't remember, mm, surprises, I don't
00:26:09believe there will be, but it's worth watching the festival from
00:26:12beginning to end, we never know what can surprise us,
00:26:16but I believe, I say again, that the audience will really enjoy the program and
00:26:20that there will be no surprises here. Andrejana,
00:26:24thank you very much for your time, good luck for the next eight days, lots
00:26:27of audience, applause, smiling faces, of course, see you when
00:26:31it's all over to sum up how it all
00:26:33looked.
00:26:36Agreed, thank you, Andrejana
