BH Telecom – Strategic Partner of Sarajevo Film Festival and Driving Force behind Domestic Film Industry

As a leading digital integrator and socially responsible company, BH Telecom has been actively investing in the development of Bosnian cinema for years. Using the BH ContentLab platform, more than BAM 30 million has been invested in domestic film and television projects, positioning the company as a key stakeholder in the creative industry of BiH. Projects such as the films Testament, Bosnian Knight, The Soul Relocation, and Selma, and the series The Hollow S2 and Komar, are the result of this strategic support.

BH Telecom is proud to announce its role as a co-producer of the film Pavilion, directed by Dino Mustafić, which will officially open the 31st Sarajevo Film Festival on 15 August 2025. This black comedy with a pronounced critical social tone, focusing on a rebellion of nursing home residents, symbolically opens a new festival chapter dedicated to film excellence and social dialogue.

BH Telecom and Sarajevo Film Festival have signed a new three-year cooperation agreement, making BH Telecom the main sponsor and technology partner of the Festival. This partnership is not only financial or technical support – it is a continuation of a broader mission to put technology at the service of community, art, and progress.

The company is not only a sponsor, but also an active participant in the film and audiovisual industry, which opens up numerous synergies that have been shaping the cultural landscape of the region for years.

As a technology partner, BH Telecom ensures stable and fast connectivity at all key festival locations, ensuring seamless watching and sharing of content worldwide. Of particular note is the cooperation with the prestigious magazine Variety, whose team will once again deliver interviews with the Festival's most prominent guests from the BH Telecom Studio this year.

Owing to this cooperation, the Open Air Cinema will be called the BH Telecom Open Air Cinema as of this year, with technical and infrastructural improvements that further enrich the festival experience.

BH Telecom remains committed to the development of the domestic film industry, recognising film as a powerful tool for cultural diplomacy, social reflection, and international promotion of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through strategic partnerships, co-productions, and investments, the company continues to build the foundations for BiH as a respectable film destination.

My Sarajevo. My story.
