With awards handed out, a closing film screening of Pjer Žalica's legacy-of-war film May Labour Day, and an epic closing party featuring international D.J. superstar Solomun (something the ageing raver in me was probably way too excited about) closing down blocks of the Bosnia & Herzogovenian capital city, the 28th Sarajevo Film Festival has officially drawn to a close. After two years of pandemic-related adjustments, 2022 saw the festival (as with most others on the continent) return to pre-Covid procedures—though, in all honesty, outside of attendance caps and earlier closing times, 2021’s health protocols were hardly strict. And, as with festivals personally attended in post-Omicron 2022, the city, audiences, and staff were abuzz with energy and enthusiasm.
