"We are honoured to have Robert De Niro as the first recipient of the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo – Lifetime Achievement Award," said Mirsad Purivatra, Director of the Sarajevo Film Festival. “Ever since we met ten years ago at the Tribeca Film Festival, we were hopeful that Robert De Niro would be able to come to Sarajevo. That day has come and as a film professional and a great lover of film, I am sure that when I say this, I am speaking for both the audience and film professionals too - we are truly excited!”.
