After the pilot edition last year, CineLink Drama raised the stakes by announcing a new development award of 10,000 EUR in cash, sponsored by Film Center Serbia. The winner will be announced at the festival’s closing ceremony on 17 August 2017.
The CineLink Drama audience included producers, distributors, key European and regional broadcasters, as well as VoD and SVoD operators.
The projects range from comedy to film noir and from topics based on pagan customs to modern day stories influenced by socialism. Creators combine genre and style as well as crew members, providing space for further development of the format in the region both artistically and production-wise.
As part of the cooperation between CineLink Industry Days and MIDPOINT, a TV Launch development workshop has been held in Sarajevo. Seven more projects from Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Iceland, Malta, Poland, Serbia and Slovakia, which went through the workshops, will also be presented to the professional audience on 16 August 2017.
