<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Dear friends:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Thank you so much to all those who came to the Seventh Annual
Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film Festival (BHFF™)! Your energy and enthusiasm were
heartfelt and gave renewed meaning to our efforts. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">This was our fourth year at Tribeca Cinemas, and of that we are
particularly proud, for the visibility this venue brings to the festival. The
marquee with the name of the festival was seen from far away and a number of
people walked in from the street wanting to know more. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Eight films were screened from many corners of the world -- Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Australia, United Kingdom
and United States. The selection of films included the U.S. premieres of “One
more tonight“ and “Anyone.“<span style=""> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">BHFF also featured a well-attended Q&A with filmmakers from
“Apparition“ (Sabina Vajrača), “The Reed Trains“ (Amir Husak) and the “Buried
Land” (Geoffrey Alan Rhodes and Chris Ernst). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Besides these filmmakers, other prominent guests included Mirsada
Čolaković, Minister Counsellor, Deputy Permanent Representative of Bosnia and
Herzegovina to the United Nations; representatives from the Permanent Mission
of the Republic of Croatia to the United Nations; Zlata Filipović, author of
the international bestseller <i style="">Zlata's
Diary</i>; Nebojša Šeric Shoba, a New-York based visual artist, as well as the singer-songwriter
Jess King. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">The festival concluded with the awards ceremony. “Sevah“ won the
Audience Award for the Best Documentary Film and “Storm“ won the Best Short or
Feature Film Audience Award. “Storm“ is a suspenful political thriller by
Hans-Christian Schmid that deals with the topic of persecution of war criminals
and the search for justice. “Sevdah” is a compelling emotional, musical,
lyrical and visual journey through the soul of Bosnia that examines the art of
sevdalinka. Congratulations to the winners and thank you all who voted! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">A great big thanks also goes to our corporate sponsor Woolly Boo (<a href="http://woollyboo.com/">http://woollyboo.com/</a>) and individual donors, all
the volunteers and participating filmmakers, distributors, media partners, production
companies, Tribeca Cinemas, DJs Dare and Kurt and others. Among media partners,
we want to give a shout out to Radio Voice of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BATV, <i style="">Europa</i> magazine, Kulporter, Radio M,
Radio TNT, <i style="">Sabah</i> and Start. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Thank you all! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">We will be posting photos from the festival to our Facebook page and our
website so keep an eye out for updates.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> </span></p>
