Bosnia and Herzegovina is a cultural crossroads where East meets West, and its vibrant events calendar reflects a mosaic of influences and enduring resilience. The Sarajevo Film Festival stands as the region’s most prestigious cinematic gathering, drawing filmmakers and cinephiles from around the world for a week of premieres, panels, and red-carpet glamour. In Mostar, the Mostar Summer Fest combines live music, art, and the stunning backdrop of the iconic Old Bridge to celebrate contemporary creativity in a historic setting.
