Nineteen up-and-coming producers from 12 countries across Southeast Europe and the wider Black Sea region have been selected to take part in the first edition of the CineLink Producers’ Lab, a new networking and training program launched by the industry arm of the Sarajevo Film Festival.
Taking place from Aug. 12-15 as part of the CineLink Industry Days program, the lab was conceived to help prepare emerging producers for a rapidly changing market, according to Sarajevo’s head of industry Maša Marković. “We really wanted to have something that is more catered to [the producers’] needs,” she said. “This is a really unique generation, and it’s a specific moment in a producer’s career.”
Marković noted how the rise of both regional and global streaming services has brought fresh investment into the region, disrupted the traditional supply chain and afforded new opportunities to local producers.

Vanja Svilicic’s Zagreb Cappuccino has won the works in progress award at the Pula Film Festival.
The prize comes for the first time with $8900 (Hrk 50,000) in post-production services by Teleking.
The jury deciding the best film from the six pitches was comprised of Cannes programme advisor Joel Chapron, Slovenian producer Ira Cecić, and the Serbian Film Centre’s Miroljub Vučković.
The jury said in a statement: “Zagreb Cappuccino is a brave film about growing-up both of its characters and its author Vanja Sviličić, who presented the complexity of the lives of her characters using rich film terminology and showing respect for rules concerning television expression.”
The film is a drama, the director’s feature debut, about two women in their 40s who are old friends who have taken different paths in life. A night on the town leads them to meeting much younger men. The film is now editing with a 90-minute rough cut in progress...
