Ivica Matić Award
The Ivica Matić Award is an award given by the Association of Film Workers of Bosnia and Herzegovina named after the Bosnian-Herzegovinian film director and screenwriter Ivica Matić.
History[edit]
Until 1992, The Ivica Matić Award was given for contributions to film, but was interrupted because of the Bosnian War. It was re-established in 2003 and is awarded to members of the Association in two distinct categories of: Outstanding film work of the year and for the Total contribution to Bosnian-Herzegovinian cinema.[1] The prize is awarded annually as a part of Sarajevo Film Festival program and is supported by Film Fund Sarajevo.[2][3][4] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic awards for 2019 and 2020 were awarded in 2021.[5]
