Tickets on sale for The Sixth Annual Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film Festival - May 15 and 16 at Tribeca Cinemas

[Academy of Bosnia and Herzegovina]

Dear friends:

Tickets are on sale for The Sixth Annual Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film
Festival (BHFF™), which will take place on Friday, May 15 and
Saturday, May 16 at Tribeca Cinemas (54 Varick Street in NYC). They
will be available online at
http://www.bhffnyc.org/html/program2009.htm for all screenings until
4:00 pm, May 15. Remaining tickets can be purchased at Tribeca Cinemas
immediately before each screening on a first-come, first-serve basis.

BHFF will screen 13 films, which showcase the diversity of the Bosnian
diaspora and its filmmakers, whose submissions come from Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Slovenia, Croatia, Switzerland, Australia and United
States. The selection of films includes eight U.S. premieres.  A
number of films have been praised at other film festivals around the
globe. Amongst films screened will be “It’s Hard to Be Nice,“ Bosnia
and Herzegovina's official submission to the Best Foreign Language
Film Category of the 80th Annual Academy Awards in 2008, and
“Tolerantia,” the first independent short film from Bosnia and
Herzegovina made using 3D animation. The last screening will be
followed by an awards ceremony and a closing party at Tribeca Cinemas
lounge featuring DJ Tomo.

Also, don't forget, we are screening an award-winning documentary
“Totally Personal“ on Wednesday, May 13 at Union Bar (204 Park Ave
South between 17th & 18th Street – no cover). Strikingly original and
described by Variety as “A total success,” “Totally Personal” is a
documentary about the experiences of the filmmaker, who tells the
story of his family’s survival during the recent war in Bosnia and
Herzegovina with an uplifting and wry sense of humor.

Looking forward to seeing you at the film festival!

Cheers,

BHFF team
