Mediterranean Film Festival presents masterpieces of B&H cinematography, within the off program ‘Film Centre Sarajevo’, which were the audience and jury favourites at festivals around the world at the time they were created.  

These are the films that will be screened at the festival in Široki Brijeg: ‘Trawl Fishers from Kali by Milutin Kosovac, ‘Tip of the Great Sea’ by Vatko Filipović and 'Purgatory' by Velimir Stojanović. Besides these MFF will also screen Petar Ljubojev's 'Black Gardens', ' Sand Miners' by Bakir Tanović, ‘The Charcoal Bearers’ by Vefik Hadžismajlović and ‘Provincial Towns’ by Mirza Idrizović.

As a legal successor of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian cinematography (Bosna film, Sutjeska film, Studio film) Film Centre Sarajevo takes care of preserving film heritage through archiving, restoration and digitalisation of archive materials. In the Film Centre Sarajevo catalogue there are more than 70 feature fiction films, over 600 documentary and short films and thousands of metres of film materials that witness of the wealth of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian film, and of turbulent history of the country in the period between 1945 and 1992.

The Film Centre Sarajevo is carrying out an activity titled 'Preserve the film treasure of BH' in order to draw attention to the importance of preservation and digitalisation of the film materials. Through a series of public events and film screenings the Centre is carrying out this activity, and the Mediterranean Film Festival joins it with the screening of seven films from the Sarajevo Film Centre catalogue.
