CineLink Co-Production Market 2020 - First Call for Entries

Sarajevo Film Festival & CineLink Industry Days are proud to announce the call for entries for CineLink Co-production Market 2020. The project submission deadline is February 1, 2020

With the First Call we are looking for exciting new feature-length fiction projects in development and financing stages from first- and second-time filmmakers. Projects can be at a very early stage, but should at least have a producer, writer and a director attached when applying. It is possible to apply with a treatment, but a script will be asked for if the project is shortlisted by the middle of February 2020.

The final selection will be announced in March 2020. Selected projects will take part in the CineLink 4-day-long project development workshop in first half of April 2020 to work with script editors, discuss their financing and production plans, devise marketing strategies and work on the general presentation of their projects with top industry professionals. CineLink's dedicated team will regularly follow up with the filmmakers from April to July 2020 to prepare their participation in the CineLink Industry Days event during the 26th Sarajevo Film Festival (August 17-20, 2020).

By taking part in CineLink you will:

• Get tailor-made consultations on your project by top industry professionals;
• Gain international visibility for your project;
• Meet potential co-producers, sales agents, funders, distributors and broadcasters;
• Get a chance to win one of the cash awards.

The Second Call will be announced in April 2020 and it will target projects from established authors, in advanced stage of development and financing, looking for a good market access point in CineLink to further their conversion and placement effort.
