At times Bosnia and Herzegovina has looked like it was stuck in a bit of a no-man’s land when it comes to film production, lacking the financial fire-power to press forward, but its TV series business is booming.

That said, the lack of funds is the main stumbling block. Production companies that mainly live off the production of films work in extremely difficult conditions. The combined annual budgets for the production of all types of films – feature films, short films and documentaries – do not exceed €1.6 million .

A few foreign productions filmed in Bosnia at the beginning of the 2010s, most notably Angelina Jolie’s “In the Land of Blood and Honey” and Larysa Kondracki’s “The Whistleblower.” Also, the production company Obala Art Center, Sarajevo Film Festival’s sister company, has been increasingly involved as co-producer in festival big-hitters, such as Ruben Östlund’s “Triangle of Sadness” and Jessica Hausner’s “Club Zero.

Also, the state of the Bosnian film industry didn’t deter Hungarian maestro Béla Tarr from launching in 2013 his Film Factory Project at the Sarajevo Film Academy, the first private film school in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the only filmmaking school in SouthEast Europe with a full curriculum taught in English.
