Sandra Wollner's 'Everytime' Takes Top Prize at Sarajevo

Austrian filmmaker Sandra Wollner's 'Everytime' just claimed the festival's best film award.

The Sarajevo Film Festival wrapped with some solid wins. Wollner's film took the top prize, while director Ana Urushadze earned best director honors—both moves that signal the festival's taste is leaning into serious, character-driven work right now.

The jury pulling the trigger on those picks included some heavy hitters: Emily Watson (yeah, that Emily Watson), Matthijs Wouter Knol from the European Film Academy, and Athina Rachel Tsangari, who's produced for Yorgos Lanthimos. That's a panel that knows what it's looking at—not just festival politics, but actual filmmaking craft.

Sarajevo's always been one of those festivals that respects the work over the spectacle, and this year's selections feel like proof of that. These aren't flashy picks; they're the kind of wins that matter in the long game.
