Dear friends: 

 

On behalf of the Voice of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Academy of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, we would like to thank you for your support of the Fifth
Annual Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film FestivalT (BHFFT). 

 

This two-day festival, which took place May 9-10 at Tribeca Cinemas, home of
the Tribeca Film Festival, and consisted of ten feature, documentary and
short films by emerging and internationally-renowned filmmakers, drew over
300 people. Five films had their U.S. premiere at BHFF, including "Esma,"
"Patria Mia, nomad direction," "Not if you can, but you must," "What do I
know" and "The Rhythm of Life."   The festival also screened a feature film
titled "Silent Gunpowder" in memory of late Bahrudin "Bato" Čengić, a
legendary filmmaker who helped shape Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Yugoslav film
industry.

 

Thank you to all of those who participated in the audience awards voting
process. "Enter the Dragon" by Ozren Milharcić won the BHFFT 2008 Audience
Award for the Best Documentary Film BHFFT and "The Rhythm of Life" by Enver
Puška won the 2008 Audience Award for the Best Short or Feature Film. As in
years past, "The Golden Apple" awards were designed by the accomplished
Bosnian-American artist Aida Šehović.

 

Among notable guests were DJ Tomo who came all the way from Frankfurt to
spin at our parties, Ozren Milharcić and Nino Raspudić ("Enter the Dragon"),
Sabina Varjača ("Back to Bosnia"), artists Aida Šehović i Nebojša Šeric
Shoba as well as Mirsada Čolaković (Permanent Mission of Bosnia and
Herzegovina to the United Nations), Jasminka Dinić (Permanent Mission of
Croatia to the United Nations) and Matti Lehtonen (United Nations).

 

The fifth annual film festival continues to be a true community effort and
would have been impossible without the support of participating filmmakers,
distributors, production companies, volunteers

Dragi prijatelji,

 

U ime Radio Glasa Bosne i Hercegovine i Akademije Bosne i Hercegovine,
zahvaljujemo se na vašu podršku petom godišnjem Bosanskohercegovačkom
Filmskom Festivalu (BHFFT).

 

Ovaj dvodnevni dogadjaj, održan od 9.-10. maja u Tribeca Cinemas, domaćinu
Tribeca Film Festivala-a, je privukao preko 300 posjetilaca. Program se
sastojao od deset izvanrednih kratkih, igranih i dokumentarnih filmova. Pet
filmova koji su uvršteni u program su imali i svoju američku premijeru na
BHFF-u, uključujući "Esma", "Patria Mia, pravac nomada", "Nije da se more,
već se mora", "Šta ja znam" i "Ritam života".  Festival je takodje prikazao
igrani film "Gluvi barut", u znak sjećanja na nedavno preminulog Bahrudina
"Batu" Čengića (1931-2007), našeg čuvenog reditelja, koji je znatno
doprinjeo formiranju naše kinematografije. 

 

Hvala svima onima koji su glasali za najbolje filmove. Po završetku
festivala, publika je odlucila da "Zlatna Jabuka" (nagrada BHFF-a koju je
kreirala nasa mlada umjetnica Aida Šehović) za najbolji dokumentarni film
pripadne reditelju Ozrenu Miharciću za njegov film "U Zmajevom gnijezdu".
Zlatna jabuka za najbolji igrani film pripala je reditelju Enveru Pušci, za
"Ritam Zivota".

 

Među poznatijim gostima su bili DJ Tomo koji je došao iz dalekog Frankfurta,
Ozren Milharcić i Nino Raspudić ("U Zmajevom Gnijezdu"), Sabina Varjača ("Na
putu kući, u tuđinu"), umjetnici Aida Šehović i Nebojša Šeric Shoba, te
Mirsada Čolaković (Misija Bosne i Hercegovine pri UN-u), Jasminka Dinić
(Hrvatska Misija pri UN-u) i Matti Lehtonen (UN). 

 

Peti godišnji BHFF nastavlja da bude istinski produkt zajedničkog rada, koji
ne bi mogao biti zamisliv bez pomoći i podrške filmskih reditelja,
distributera, producentskih kuća, volontera kao i ostalih BHFF prijatelja
širom svijeta. 

 

Posebno se zahvaljujemo:

*	Sponzorima: Archipelagos Architecture and Design (zvanicni sponzor),
Trust Realty, EventLink Group, te Dr. Amri Spahić-Musakadić i Denisu
Ahmetoviću za dodatnu podršku.
