Call for Entries: CineLink Co-Production Market 2026

Sarajevo Film Festival and CineLink Industry Days are pleased to announce the Call for Entries for the CineLink Co-Production Market 2026. The deadline for project submissions is February 10, 2026.

We invite feature-length fiction films in the development and financing stages from both emerging filmmakers and established authors.

Given recent shifts in the regional market and the increasingly diverse needs of both emerging and established filmmakers, the CineLink Co-Production Market programme timeline has been restructured to provide more focused and tailored support. From this year onward, the workshop will take place across three hybrid modules: the first in April, the second in June and the final module in August during CineLink Industry Days - Sarajevo Film Festival. During the first two modules, selected projects and participants will have the opportunity to collaborate with script editors, refine their financing and production strategies, explore sustainability practices, develop marketing plans, and enhance their project presentations with guidance from leading industry professionals to build towards the project's presentation to decision makers attending Sarajevo Film Festival.

For the first time, projects outside Southeast Europe may apply if they meet at least one criterion, however they are not eligible for any awards:

• A producer attached from an eligible Southeast European country
• A story connected to Southeast Europe
• Involvement of regional talent (key creatives - director/screenwriter)

WHAT TO EXPECT AT CINELINK CO-PRODUCTION MARKET:

Tailored consultations with top industry experts
Increased international visibility for your project
A chance to present your projects to decision makers
Opportunities to connect with potential co-producers, sales agents, distributors, broadcasters, and funders
A chance to win one of several prestigious cash awards

AWARDS:

Eurimages Co-Production Development Award (€20,000)
Film Center Montenegro CineLink Award (€10,000)
Film Center Serbia CineLink Award (€10,000)
Artekino International Prize (€6,000)
Female Voices Award (sponsored by the Slovenian Film Centre and UN Women) (€20,000) – a cross-category award for both CineLink Co-Production Market and CineLink Drama.

Please note: The official language of CineLink Co-Production Market is English. All applications and materials must be submitted in English to be eligible for consideration. Applications that do not meet this requirement will not be considered.

Projects originating outside the Southeast European region should contact the CineLink Team via email to confirm eligibility before applying.
