Organizers of the Sarajevo Film Festival have unveiled their plans for their 11th event, taking place August 19-27 in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Two films from nearby Turkey and Greece will screen as gala presentations during the fest, including Yesim Ustaoglu's story about Ottoman Empire Greeks in 1916, in 'Waiting for the Clouds' as well as Constantine Giannaris' 'Hostage,' the story of an Albanian who takes a bus hostage en route to Thessaloniki, Greece. Both films screened at this year's Berlinale Panorama."
