About The Pavilion?
“This movie is about the older generation who have decided to follow their conscience in the modern world,” Mustafić stated. They rebel against authority. Furthermore, rebellions naturally take many different shapes. This one is unique.
The 31st Sarajevo festival takes place from August 15–22.
