17 projects have been selected for Cinelink, the development and financing platform for local projects designed as European co-productions, that takes place under the auspices of the Sarajevo Film Festival (July 6 to 14).

80 projects were submitted from 18 different countries in southeastern Europe.

Eight projects of the 17 selected will participate in the Project Development Workshop organized in collaboration with the Binger Filmlab and Croatian Audiovisual Center where the directors and producers will work on the scripts as well as the financial, legal and marketing aspects of their projects.

Nine projects selected in the Cinelink Plus lineup will be presented directly at the CineLink Co-Production Market during the Sarajevo Film Festival in July.

Projects presented in both line-ups are eligible for CineLink Development Awards totalling €50,000 in cash and services.
