A total of 11 titles formed part of the Competition programme, and the jury (chaired by Mia Wasikowska, and also consisting of actors Zlatko Burić and Danica Čurčić, last year’s big winner Juraj Lerotić and MoMA Film curator Josh Siegel) handed out the awards on Friday night. Festival director Jovan Marjanovic presented Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay with the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo at the beginning of the ceremony. Ramsay joins this year’s other two recipients, Mark Cousins and Charlie Kaufman. The festival also paid tribute to Austrian writer-director Jessica Hausner with a retrospective programme, talks and a special booklet discussing her filmography.

, in the words of the jury members, a film which "conveys human-first experiences and emotions through Eleftheria's naïve eyes and never-ending curiosity, plus the intensity of human connections, and it affords us this flashback to those first discoveries that shaped who we are now."

, a forensic, experimental and mnemonic documentary about the mass rape camps set up during the Bosnian War. Exploring similar conundrums around the role of cinema and state terror, the third annual recipient of the Special Award for the Promotion of Gender Equality was the Austrian-German production De Facto [+lee también:

by Selma Doborac. These two wins provided the jury and attendees with an opportunity to focus on the topics of violence and femicide – both timely subjects, as the festival observed a national day of mourning on 16 August following a case of femicide and mass murder that happened in the town of Gradačac in the north-east of the country. All screenings and celebratory events were therefore cancelled that day.

In the Shorts Competition, the Heart of Sarajevo winner (and Oscar nomination-eligible candidate) was the Hungarian-French co-production 27 by Flóra Anna Buda. In the Student Film Competition programme, the big winner was Anna Gyimesi’s Falling, and David Gašo received a Special Mention for Short Cut Grass.
