Back in April we presented the first six projects that took part in CineLink Project Development Workshops. Today, we are unveiling the next nine projects selected for CineLink Co-production Market.
The selection brings a variety of narratives and artistic approaches, while a healthy balance of established names and exciting new talent promise a lively market in August.
Additional guest projects will be announced in coming weeks.

Over its 15 years in existence, Sarajevo Film Festival's industry section has become the major hub for Southeast European film professionals and played a crucial role in the expansion of regional cinematographic co-production. It has also become a key destination for professionals from across Europe who search for talent and co-production possibilities, or simply wish to get in-depth knowledge on the business developments of this dynamic region.
CineLink Industry Days offer awards funds totalling more than 100.000 Euros in cash and services with awards from Eurimages, Arte, Macedonian Film Agency and the Post Republic among others.
It boosts an impressive track record with previous projects going on to major international recognition:
• HONEY by Semih Kaplanoglu (Golden Bear, Berlin 2010),
• IF I WANT TO WHISTLE I WHISTLE by Florin Serban (Jury Grand Prix Silver Bear and Alfred Bauer Prize, Berlinale 2010),
• MOLD by Ali Aydın (Lion of the Future, Venice 2012)
• HARMONY LESSONS by Emir Baigazin (Silver Bear, Berlinale 2013),
• WHITE SHADOW by Noaz Deshe (Lion of the Future, Venice 2013), and
