Sixth annual Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film Festival (BHFF™) - call for entries

Sat Feb 7 12:34:22 EST 2009

Dear friends:

We hope you've started 2009 on a good note! We are gearing up for our sixth
annual Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film Festival (BHFF(tm)), which will take place in
*May 2008 in New York City*.

As was done in years past, we have announced a *call for submissions* with
the official deadline of *March 15, 2009*. For more information about the
submissions process and to download our entry form, go to
http://www.bhffnyc.org/.

Although, on average, Bosnia and Herzegovina, a very small country,
generates only several feature films per year, its filmmakers have gained
worldwide recognition, often producing award-winning movies on very low
budgets. Since its founding in 2003, BHFF has gained a reputation as an
important showcase of contemporary Bosnian-Herzegovinian cinematography.
This unique cultural event organized by two New York area-based
not-for-profit organizations, Voice of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Inc. and
Academy of Bosnia and Herzegovina, provides a platform for the exposure of
up-and-coming and internationally-renowned filmmakers.

We are grateful to our past *sponsors* - without their generous support,
BHFF could not have been realized. Those interested in supporting the
festival through sponsorship opportunities or individual donations
should contact
*Almir Lucević <alucevic at hotmail.com>*.

Helping us *spread the news about BHFF* is also important. Reporters,
editors and potential media partners should reach out to Amra
Turalić<aturalic at gmail.com>
or Edita Zulić <editaz at gmail.com>* *for more information.

The festival is entirely *volunteer*-run. We are always looking new people
to join our dynamic team so if you want to get involved, please reach out to
*Amelisa Džulović <amelisad at yahoo.com> *and *Selma
Avdičević<selma_avdicevic at yahoo.com>

filmova*

Dragi prijatelji:

Nadamo se da ste započeli u dobrom duhu! Mi se upravo pripremamo za šesti
godišnji Bosanskohercegovački Filmski Festival (BHFF(tm)), koji će se održati u
New Yorku u maju 2009.

Po običaju, i ove godine objavljujemo otvaranje zvaničnog konkursa za
prijavu filmova, koji je otvoren do 15. marta 2009. godine. Uzećemo u
razmatranje igrane i kratke filmove, dokumentarne, kratke dokumentarne i
animirane filmove bosanskohercegovačkih reditelja, bosanskohercegovačke
produkcije ili filmova čija tema je Bosna i Hercegovina. Za dodatne
informacije i prijave za BHFF(tm) posjetite *http://www.bhffnyc.org*.

Od osnivanja 2003. godine, privukli smo značajnu pažnju javnosti kroz
međunarodno priznate filmove, stekavši ugled izlaganjem bosanskohercegovačke
kinematografije. Ovaj jedinstveni kulturni događaj koji je organizovan od
strane dvije neprofitne organizacije u Njujorku, Radio Glas Bosne i
Hercegovine i Akademija Bosne i Hercegovine, predstavlja nove talente
moderne evropske kinematografije, ujedno pružajući jedinstvenu priliku
američkoj publici da se upozna sa filmom i kulturom Bosne i Hercegovine.

Iskreno se zahvaljujemo našim prijašnjim *sponzorima*, bez čije velikodušne
pomoći BHFF ne bi mogao biti održan. Za sve one koji bi željeli podržati
šesti filmski festival kroz sponzorstvo ili licnu donaciju, mozete se
