The red carpet at the Sarajevo Film Festival 2026 turned into a runway of pure cinematic drama when Austria’s indie darling ‘Everytime’ snagged the coveted Best Film award, leaving everyone from the director’s mother to the popcorn vendor in a state of disbelief. The film, a melancholic yet oddly uplifting tale about a time‑traveling barista, beat out heavyweights from Hollywood, Bollywood, and even a surprise entry from a secretive Martian film collective (rumor has it they were disqualified for using actual Martian dust). The full winners list reads like a who’s‑who of avant‑garde brilliance: Best Director goes to a 12‑year‑old prodigy from Nairobi, Best Actor to a retired circus clown who finally found his “serious” side, and Best Original Score to a band that only uses kitchen utensils. Critics are calling the festival “the most unpredictable, deliciously chaotic celebration of film since the invention of popcorn,” while fans are already planning a pilgrimage to Sarajevo to see the trophy – rumored to be made entirely of recycled film reels and leftover festival confetti.
You do it, we report it.
