CineLink Work in Progress, a section of the Sarajevo Film Festival’s co-production market, serves as a showcase of the most exciting new works from Southeast Europe and the MENA region. The selection includes 12 exciting new feature-length films – ten fiction works and two documentaries – which will be presented to up to 60 high-profile industry professionals (funders, sales agents, distributors, broadcasters, and festival programmers) with the aim of assisting their completion and enhancing their distribution possibilities.

This year’s selection showcases fresh voices from Hungary and Romania to Isreael and Georgia. The Work in Progress section brings a mixture of powerful debuts, thought-provoking and highly cinematic works, and essays, bound together by the daring talent of their filmmakers. Projects compete for three awards: the Post Republic Award (€40,000, in kind) and the Turkish National Radio Television Award (€25,000, cash).
