German director Wim Wenders will be one of the main guests at this year’s Sarajevo Film Festival, a key regional film gathering, the organisers said.

“The Sarajevo Film Festival has the great honour to announce that the guest of its 17th edition is going to be one of the most prominent film-makers of today, German director Wim Wenders,” it said in a statement.

Mr Wenders will present to the Bosnian audience his latest film Pina, a feature-length 3D documentary film about legendary German choreographer Pina Bausch, the festival organisers added.

Mr Wenders will also give lectures to budding film-makers at the Sarajevo Talent Campus, education programme organised by the Sarajevo Film Festival in cooperation with the International Film Festival in Berlin.
