BREAKING NEWS!
An IAN WOODWARD film
ADORATION
A NATURAL HISTORY
ADORATION ANNOUNCED
FOR OFFICIAL SCREENING AT SARAJEVO’S
VIVA FILM FESTIVAL
IN A REVITALISED AND EXCITING
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
From Sarajevo, the leading political, social and cultural center of Bosnia and Herzegovina, comes the announcement that Adoration: A Natural History has been chosen by the capital’s go-getting Viva Film Festival for Official Selection in a programme starting on 28 May and spanning four days of innovative, eye-opening movie fun.
Sarajevo is a prominent centre of culture in the Balkans with its region-wide influence in entertainment, media, fashion and the arts. In fact, Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide book publisher, lists Sarajevo as one of the top 10 cities to visit. All in all, a good place to be for a filmmaker with a film!
Statistics:
520 films entered.
97 countries represented.
130 cities involved.
“It’s amazing,” beams actress Kim May, the film’s much-praised Nature Woman, “that Adoration is going to be screened in a vast cinema just round the corner from the site of the assassination in 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria that sparked World War One.”
For nearly four years, during the Bosnian War that ended in 1996, the city suffered the longest siege of a metropolis in the history of modern warfare. All that is all behind Sarajevo now and today it is a very different, exciting place to be, a cultural hub that is internationally renowned for its eclectic and diverse selection of festivals.
Encore Films, with the screening of Adoration, is delighted and proud to play a small part in this hugely irresistible artistic vibrancy.
