Director Jovan Marjanović of the Sarajevo Film Festival expressed his delight that the actress will be welcomed back to the festival 20 years after her last visit to Sarajevo, this time as the recipient of the Sarajevo Honorary Heart Award and the president of the jury. Emily Watson PHOTO: AP “The actress, whose talent, sensitivity and dedication to the acting profession have left a deep mark in contemporary cinema, has won both audiences and critics with her strong, emotional and genuine performances throughout her outstanding career. I believe that filmmakers will also be as enthusiastic about the fact that they will see their films in Sarajevo this year as we are,” Marjanović said.
He added that Emily Watson already has a special place in the hearts of festival audiences, so it is entirely natural and deserved that she will receive the award.
