Night of Cinema in Sarajevo attracted over 4,000 visitors

(Patria) - This year's Night of Cinema attracted over 4,000 visitors.

The Night of Cinema, with free admission to seven cinemas in Sarajevo, was held for the fifth consecutive year, organized by Sarajevo, a UNESCO City of Film, and the City of Sarajevo, with UNIQA insurance as a project partner.



On the Night of Cinema, December 16th, from 5 PM to midnight, free admission to films was available at the following cinemas: Cineplexx, CineStar, Dom kulture Ilidža - Kino Igman, Free kino Valter, kino Meeting Point, Kinoteka BiH, and Kvartovsko kino Grbavica. Over 4,000 viewers attended the film screenings for all generations.



Sarajevo, a UNESCO City of Film, organizes the Night of Cinema symbolically around the time the Lumière brothers held the first cinema screening in the world in Paris in 1895.



This event is designed after the French film holiday - La Fête du Cinéma, which has been held in France for almost 40 years, is eagerly awaited, and attracts a large number of visitors.



The event is traditionally anticipated and held in Sarajevo, a city officially declared a UNESCO City of Film in 2019.



As a proud member of the global UNESCO Creative Cities Network, the City of Sarajevo, through its creative field of film, strives to offer rich and diverse cultural and film content accessible to all citizens and visitors, supporting events such as the Night of Cinema.



This year again, during the Night of Cinema, we celebrated film art and the richness of domestic, regional, and world cinematography together.
