The new line-up complements the eight projects in early development, by first- and second-time filmmakers, which took part in the CineLink Project Development Workshop in April this year (see the news). All selected projects will participate in the CineLink Industry Days throughout the Sarajevo Film Festival, from 11-16 August.

Amra Bakšić Čamo, head of CineLink, said: “The selection brings a variety of narratives and artistic approaches, while a healthy balance between established names and exciting new talent promises a lively market in August.”
