Turkish public broadcaster TRT will have a strong presence at the 27th Sarajevo Film Festival in the city, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The contributions to the festival, set to take place on Aug. 13-20, come in the form of five films produced or co-produced by the TRT, said the broadcaster in a statement.
The festival will kick off with director Danis Tanovic’s Not So Friendly Neigbourhood, a product of TRT, the statement said.
In the In Focus program of the festival, director Cem Ozay’s Forgiveness and Jasmila Zbanic’s Quo Vadis, Aida? – both of which are TRT co-productions – will compete.
Another TRT co-production, director Bekir Bulbul’s To Carnations of a Song, will be part of the festival’s Cinelink Work in Progress section.
Hesitation Wound by director Selman Nacar, co-produced by TRT, will also be presented in the festival. The Cinelink Industry Days section of the festival selected it for the co-production and drama strand.
TRT is a festival partner of the 27th Sarajevo Film Festival.
