Sarajevo Film Festival announces: Orbico Family Day

Orbico Family Day, the all-day entertainment event for the whole family, organized now traditionally on the last Sarajevo Film Festival day, will this year be held on Saturday, 31 July 2010.

This event will, at the joy of many of our citizens, encompass a very diverse array of entertaining activities aimed at all generations, and will be co-organized by the Novo Sarajevo Municipality and SFF's partner, the Orbico Company, in the unique setting of the Vilsonovo Promenade, from the Hamdija Čemerlić Bridge to the Ars Aevi Bridge.

Numerous organizations are set to take part in this event, and offer programs that will include all our visitors. A favourite gathering place of many Sarajevans, the Vilsonovo will during this event be entirely reserved for entertainment, which will be provided by an array of street artists, interactive children's workshops, creative and educational workshops, different performances by young artists, musical performances, as well as many sporting competitions.

Along with entertainment, the day’s program will offer the entire community, and especially youth and children’s organizations, an opportunity to promote their own activities and thus join the efforts to include youth in social affairs and revitalize our culture. Under the motto of “I love sport!”, Orbico Family Day will offer our youngest visitors the chance to meet, exchange ideas and spend time together, all the while introducing them to the culture, sport and film art. The entire day will be dedicated to the family, to promoting its values, as well as the value of sport as one of the important components of life today.

Orbico Family Day aims to entertain all its visitors and offer citizens the opportunity to spend an entire day outside their homes, enjoying numerous carefully planned activities.

Just like during the previous years, all the proceeds collected during the sale of promotional products during this year’s Orbico Day will be given to a local NGO or association, as a way of assisting them in their work. This year’s proceeds will be donated to the Altruist NGO “Svjetlo”, and will be spent on construction work on the premises of the organization’s Educational Centre for Social Inclusion, “S…”.

Join us this Orbico Family Day, and give your entire family a day of entertainment.
