Shooting of Martin Turk's Feature Film "A Good Day's Work" Begins in Sarajevo

Last weekend, shooting of the film A GOOD DAY'S WORK by the Slovenian director Martin Turk started in Sarajevo. The film is being produced by the Obala Art Centre as part of the Sarajevo City of Film for Global Screen project.

During the last year's Sarajevo Film Festival, the Festival and the Turkish Radio and Television (TRT) started a production scheme for a feature film called the Sarajevo City of Film for Global Screen. The film that will be produced within the SCF GS was announced at the 23rd Sarajevo Film Festival.

A GOOD DAY'S WORK is a character-driven social drama that tells the story of a Armin, an ordinary man struggling to find his place in life. His story reflects how the devaluation of human integrity is one of the most painful consequences of any crisis.  

The story takes place in Sarajevo, where the shooting will last for twenty days. Turk’s film should be completed in May 2018, and screened  for the Sarajevo audience at the 24th Sarajevo Film Festival.
Cast: Aleksandar Seksan, Adijan Kulovac, Maja Zećo, Ermin Sijamija, Senad Alihodžić, Mladen Nelević, Kemal Čebo, Slobodan Tabaković, Vanesa Glođo, Muhamed Hadžović, Aldin Omerović, Deni Mešić, Amar Selimović, Jasna Žalica, Ejla Bavčić, Mirna Kreso, Darja Badnjević, and Ivana Vojinović.

Director of photography is a renown Croatian cinematographer and director of music videos, Radislav Jovanov Gonzo, while Emina Kujundžić is the costume designer and stage designer.

Martin Turk, born in 1978, is a graduate of the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television in Ljubljana (AGRFT). He has made a number of award-winning short films that have screened around the world, including Every Day Is Not the Same, which premiered at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes. In 2009, he was selected for the Cannes Cinéfondation Residence with his feature project Feed Me with Your Words (2012). A GOOD DAY'S WORK will be Turk's second feature, and he is currently developing a third, slated to be shot in 2018.
