Also briefly attending the film festival was Bosnian-born director Danis Tanovic, who has been credited for helping kick-start Bosnia and Herzegovina’s film industry with his black comedy about the 1992-1995 conflict, "No Man's Land", which won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 2001.
Festival je na kratko posetio i reditelj Danis Tanović, rođen u Bosni, kome se pripisuju zasluge za pokretanje posleratne filmske industrije Bosne i Hercegovine svojom crnom komedijom «Ničija zemlja» o sukobu u Bosni 1992-1995, koji je 2001. godine dobio Oskara za najbolji strani film.
