London: Actress and filmmaker Angelina Jolie spoke to hundreds of young film-makers in Sarajevo on Saturday.
She talked about her industry experience as part of the annual Sarajevo Film Festival and as an honorary citizen of the city.
Jolie spoke about her directorial debut "In the Land of Blood and Honey," set in wartime Bosnia.
Not all of the faithful were obvious film buffs, including Bosnian footballer and Manchester City forward Edin Dzeko.
Jolie landed at Sarajevo airport earlier in the day with three of her children.
She had previously visited the country as a UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) ambassador which inspired her to make her own movie about the 1992-95 Bosnia war.
"In the Land of Blood and Honey" was released last year.
In April, authorities in Sarajevo named the actress-director an honorary citizen in recognition of her directorial debut.
