Sarajevo Festival Programmes 50+ Regional Films, 21 World Premieres Across Competition Strands

The 32nd Sarajevo Film Festival, running August 14–21, 2026, programmes more than 50 films from Southeast Europe across its competition strands, with 21 world premieres, 6 international premieres, 1 European premiere and 23 regional premieres, per Variety (13 August 2026). A festival founded in 1995 under siege-era conditions now balances regional depth against a global lineup — opening with Pawlikowski's Cannes-winning 'Fatherland'.
