Dear friends, 

We hope you've started 2008 on a good note! We are happy to inform you that
for the second year in the row, the annual Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film
Festival (BHFFT), in its fifth year, will be hosted at Tribeca Cinemas,
year-round home of the Tribeca Film Festival, from May 9th to 10th, 2008. 

As was done in years past, we have announced a call for submissions with the
official deadline of March 15, 2008. We will consider feature films, short
films, documentary films, documentary short films and animated films by
Bosnian-Herzegovinian filmmakers as well as films that have Bosnia and
Herzegovina as their theme. For more information about the submissions
process and to download our entry form, go to
http://www.bhffnyc.org/BHFF_2008_Entry_Form.doc

As you know, this cultural event represents and celebrates Bosnia and
Herzegovina and its contemporary cinematography and provides a platform for
the exposure of emerging and internationally-renowned Bosnian-Herzegovinian
filmmakers. In years past, we have highlighted films such as "Grbavica" by
Jasmila Žbanić, "Days and Hours" by Pjer Žalica, "Go West" by Ahmed
Imamović, "Carnival" by Alen Drljević, "Crime and Punishment" by Maria F.
Warsinski, and many more. For more information about our past films as well
as the winners of the last year's "Golden Apple" audience choice awards,
please go to http://www.bhffnyc.org/html/award2007.htm

could not have been realized. Those interested in supporting the fifth
annual festival through sponsorship or individual donations should contact
