Organized by Sarajevo Film Festival and Balkan Documentary Center, Docu Rough Cut Boutique is a regional platform dedicated to documentary projects in the advanced phase of the editing process.

The programme is organised in three modules: Budapest, Sofia, and Sarajevo. This new set-up brings a greater opportunity to participants to explore their creative possibilities, and to have longer, more in-depth mentoring process. This year, apart from the 5 projects selected, Docu Rough Cut Boutique has welcomed one Ukrainian project in their programme.
