By

    SARAJEVO: The Film Fund of Bosnia and Herzegovina announced production, development and coproduction grants for 2017 on 8 November. Despite talks of an increase in funding, the amount of funds allotted to feature and short films, minority coproductions and for script and project development stayed at just 651,385 EUR / 1,274,000 KM.

    Five directors including Kristijan Milić and Ahmed Imamović received funding for their next feature films. Four coproductions with Croatian, Macedonian and Serbian production companies have been supported as well as development of six scripts and one feature film project.

    The Fund allocated 81,800 EUR / 160,000 KM to seven narrative, documentary and animated short films, including documentary short Heroji by award winning director Aida Begić, whose third feature film Never Leve Me (2017, Film House) opened the 54th Antalya Film Festival last month.
