For an event that was launched a quarter of a century ago, in the midst of a four-year siege that devastated the city during the Bosnian war, it was perhaps to be expected that this year’s Sarajevo Film Festival would try to forge ahead, even in light of a coronavirus pandemic that has turned the world of red carpets and gala premieres upside-down.
But plans for a slimmed-down version of the physical fest were finally scrapped on Aug. 5, with the organizers announcing that the entire festival would be moving online. “Due to greatly increased concern regarding the epidemiological situation in Sarajevo, and record cases of Covid-19 infection in the city in the past several days, we at the Sarajevo Film Festival have made the decision to conduct the 2020 edition of all festival events entirely online from 14 to 21 August,” the festival said in a statement. “This confirms the Sarajevo Film...

Only the fourth film ever submitted to the Academy Awards by the former Yugoslavian republic of Montenegro since it secured independence a decade ago, The Black Pin is a polished and engaging debut feature from the young writer-director Ivan Marinovic. It takes place in a remote village steeped in superstition and ritual, but where a typical conversation may involve Kanye West, smartphone contracts or shady property deals with foreign investors — ancient meets modern.
Working on his home turf, Marinovic strikes a healthy balance between bittersweet comedy and naturalistic drama, largely avoiding the boorish caricatures and overheated emotions that often...

Everything you wanted to know about the foreign language film race ...but were afraid to ask*
Ivan Marinovic (Montenegro)Pt 1 All the trailers -Albania to Italy
Pt 2 All the trailers - Japan to Yemen
Pt 3. Filmmaking is a tough business. While the size and scope of opportunities within filmmaking industries varies tremendously across the borders, it's tough everywhere as creative careers inevitably are. So imagine then that you've finally managed to make a feature film after probably years of study and practice on shorts or frustrating fundraising efforts. Then pretend that the first time behind the camera in the narrative feature level results in your home country choosing you to represent them at the Oscars! That's incredible.
So a hearty congratulations to the 23 following first timers whose films have been selected to compete in Oscar's Best Foreign Language Film Race...

Other winners include Ivan Marinovic, Amikam Kovner and Assaf Snir.
Ethiopian-born, Israeli filmmaker Alamork Marsha’s Fig Tree, based on her experiences as a child in war-torn Addis Ababa in 1991, has won the $50,000 top prize at the pitching event of Sam Spiegel school’s Jerusalem International Film Lab.
It was an apt choice as fighting escalated between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, some 70 kilometres down the road, where more than 160 inhabitants have died in Israeli air strikes over the past six days, launched in response to a barrage of rocket attacks on Israel. (In fact air sirens were heard in Jerusalem just 15 minutes before the awards were announced.)
In her pitch, Marsha revealed how Fig Tree was inspired by her childhood, living with her grandmother on the outskirts of the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa during the civil war and her Jewish family’s decision to move to Israel. She said one...
