CINEMA AND POSSIBLE FUTURES will be the underlying focus of the 6th STC. The creators of today’s world of cinema will talk the future to emerging filmmakers, not only from the aspect of social and technological changes happening so rapidly right before our eyes, but the myriad of possibilities that those changes bring with them.

The 6th edition of the Sarajevo Talent Campus will gather up-and-coming film professionals from the “ever burning” and vibrant region of South-East Europe. Prominent filmmakers and emerging talents from this region will meet to discuss, analyze and explore film language novelties and different practices. They will come to terms with the changing, dynamic times, and possible futures within, as they will reach a better understanding of the medium of film.
