Interview with Kineret Hay-Gillor, winner for best director for film “How much love” on Bosifest 2015

It's been almost a year since your visit to Belgrade. What impression you brought with you from here?
I found Belgrade amazing. I'm not sure if this impression was because of the city itself or because of the remarkable experience that I've had there during the festival... I found it to be a modern city but also soaked with history and legacy. The people were so nice to me and the food was so great!
Interview with Evgeny Golynkin, winner of Bosifest 2015

What are your`s impressions from last year`s festival where you get the grand prix? How did you like Belgrade?
The festival itself is one of the strongest impression. Not only the films that were shown but the fact that the festival like this exists. For me, Darko will always be the person with strong personality, dignified behavior and a very wise attitude towards life.
Volunteers 2016

Volunteers are, as in previous years, an indispensable part of BOSIFEST's. This year we have volunteers from different faculties, they are involved in the organization from the very beginning and daily contribute their effort and commitment to the successful implementation of the festival.
