Seventh Annual Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film Festival/ Sedmi godišnji Bosanskohercegovački Filmski Festival

Sun Jan 31 12:32:11 EST 2010

Dear friends,

We hope you've started 2010 on a good note! We are gearing up for our
seventh annual *Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film Festival *(BHFF(tm)), which will
take place *May 14 - 15, *2010 at *Tribeca Cinemas *in *New York* City.

As was done in years past, we have announced a *call for entries*
with the official deadline of *March 15*. 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 all those who donated in the past - without your
generous support, BHFF could not have been realized. Those interested
in supporting the festival through sponsorship or
individual donations should go to
http://www.bhffnyc.org/html/sponsors.htm for more information.

And if you are on Facebook and your birthday is in the next 30 days,
you can make a Birthday Wish and ask friends to give money to BHFF by
going to
http://apps.facebook.com/causes/birthdays/new?cause_id=222614&m=8f77d867.
Every penny counts!

Helping us spread the news about BHFF is also important. Reporters,
editors and potential media partners should reach out to Amra Turalić.

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
let us know.

Don't forget to check our Web site regularly for news and updates and
if you haven't done this already, please sign up for our mailing list.
Also, please check out our Facebook page.

Once again, we greatly appreciate your support. We look forward to
seeing you in May!
Sincerely,
BHFF(tm) Team

Dragi prijatelji,

Nadamo se da ste novu godinu započeli u dobrom duhu! Mi se upravo
pripremamo za sedmi godišnji *Bosanskohercegovački Filmski Festival*
(BHFF(tm)), koji će se održati u *New Yorku *u *Tribeca Cinemas 14. i 15.
maja *2010.

Po običaju, i ove godine objavljujemo otvaranje zvaničnog *konkursa *za
prijavu filmova, koji je otvoren do *15. marta*. 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 sedmi filmski festival kroz sponzorstvo ili ličnu
donaciju, možete se obratiti Almir Luceviću.

Ako ste na Facebook-u i ocekujete rođendan u sljedećih mjesec dana,
mozete napraviti rođendansku želju i pitati prijatelje da doniraju
novac BHFF-u - otiđite na
http://apps.facebook.com/causes/birthdays/new?cause_id=222614&m=8f77d867.

Proširivanje vijesti o BHFF-u je takođe jako važno. Novinari, urednici
i potencijalni medijski parnteri se za vise informacija mogu obratiti
Amri Turalić.

Festival je u potpunosti zasnovan na volunterskoj bazi i uvijek smo u
potrazi za mladim entuzijastima. Kontaktirajte nas ako se želite
pridružiti našem dinamičnom timu.

Ne zaboravite da redovno provjeravate http://www.bhffnyc.org za
