The prize, a joint initiative between the European Film Academy and Eurimages, the cultural support fund of the Council of Europe, is normally given to an individual producer who has been active in terms of co-productions.
The award was created to acknowledge the decisive role co-productions play in fostering international exchange.
Past recipients have included Norway’s Maria Ekerhovd (2021), Luís Urbano (2020), Ankica Jurić Tilić (2019), the Netherlands’ Leonine Petit (2016), Italy’s Andrea Occhipinti (2015) and France’s Margaret Menegoz (2007).

In some ways it’s a year of transition for the Sarajevo Film Festival, which sees former industry head and co-director Jovan Marjanović take the helm as festival director, while long-time staffer Maša Marković takes over as head of industry. For Marković, who began her career at the long-running Bosnian fest 15 years ago, the change “was kind of organic,” offering the kind of smooth transition that has allowed Sarajevo to retain its position as the leading industry confab in Southeast Europe.
For nearly three decades, the festival has identified and launched local talent while serving as a think tank of sorts for the region’s rapidly evolving screen industries. This year’s CineLink Industry Days program will stick to that time-tested formula, even as it tries to adjust to dramatic shifts in the way that content in the region and around the globe is being produced and distributed.

In “The Last Socialist Artefact,” businessmen Nikola and Oleg travel to a rusted-out town in the Balkans to convince its citizens to restart the factory which once employed so many of them. This sparks a journey both individual and collective, and over six episodes their character is revealed, tested, and changed.
Each episode is named after one of its characters and takes the time needed to explore their humanity. Nikola, for example, is quiet and forlorn at the outset, only to find his calling as a leader when left behind to direct the factory.
The limited series, adapted from Robert Perišić’s novel “No-Signal Area,” is part of this year’s Series Mania Official Selection. It’s produced by Ankica Juric Tilic with Kinorama and directed by Dalibo Matanić.
Variety spoke with Ankica ahead of the series premier at Series Mania.

For a few busy days before the frantic fall festival slate hits high gear in Venice, Toronto and Telluride, key players from the international film world can be found mingling at Sarajevo’s stately Hotel Europe, the hub for the Bosnian festival’s CineLink Industry Days.
A highlight of the buzzy industry program each year is the Co-Production Market, which in its 15th year has become one of the leading platforms for emerging talents from the region. According to CineLink industry coordinator Armin Hadzic, roughly 70% of the projects pitched in the market get produced within three years of appearing in Sarajevo, with most of those going on to get international festival premieres and distribution.
Though just 19 projects were selected from more than 150 submissions this year, Hadzic says at least 30 could have made the cut, testifying to the growing maturity of the local market. The co-production forum’s track record is...
