The sixth edition of Avant Premiere Series with six drama series from four countries of the region
Festival goers will get previews of the first two episodes of six highly anticipated regional drama series.
TV series shown in previous editions of Avant Premiere Series, a programme of the Sarajevo Film Festival, recorded success on the domestic and international markets. Some of them were nominated by the expert jury for this year's Hearts of Sarajevo for TV Series Awards, which we are eagerly awaiting.
This year, the Avant Premiere Series programme of the 28th Sarajevo Film Festival presents a careful selection of recently completed regional drama series productions. Festival goers will get previews of the first two episodes of six highly anticipated regional drama series. Each of these high-end productions is characterized by an intriguing plotline and an exceptional star-studded regional cast. Drama series presented in the Avant Premiere Series programme are competing for the UniCredit Audience Award.
"Regional production of high-end series is on the rise. The result is also visible in this year's selection, the sixth edition of Avant Premieres, where we proudly present a record number of six series from four countries in the region. They are different thematically, stylistically and in terms of genre. However, whether you are a fan of crime, comedy, mystery or drama, you will surely find at least one series in this selection that will delight you. You will eagerly wait for the fall to see the other episodes," said Tina Hajon, a programmer of the Avant Premiere Series.
Press corners will be held every day at 4 p.m. at the Festival Square.
