During the 30th Sarajevo Film Festival (Aug. 16 to 23), CineLink, the festival’s industry program, will present its work-in-progress showcase. This includes eight feature-length fiction and one documentary film in the production or post-production stages from Southeast Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
The CineLink Co-Production Market presents the most promising regional feature projects in a development and financing stage. The selection has traditionally been focused on Southeast Europe but is since a few years also open for projects from the Caucasus region. In addition, three projects will be presented in partnership with the Doha Film Institute, IMCINE and The Arab Fund for Arts & Culture.
CineLink Work in Progress continuously showcases future success stories on the festival circuit. This section is also open to projects from the North African and Middle Eastern countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Finally, the market offers awards funds totalling more than 160.000 Euros in cash and services and boosts a impressive track record with previous projects going on to major international recognition.
