Created by the Sarajevo Film Festival and Balkan Documentary Center, Docu Rough Cut Boutique is the leading regional program for documentaries in the editing stage from Southeast Europe and the Caucuses. It is famous for its boutique format, which includes only five selected projects. The programme is organized in three working modules: Sofia (first week of April 2024), Cluj (June 2024) and Sarajevo (August 2024). The workshop programme is based on tailor-made coaching, editing tutorials, group sessions and individual meetings with renowned documentary experts and professionals. This year, we are proudly presenting the selection of our 14th Docu Rough Cut Boutique edition.
