Industry events at this year’s Sarajevo Film Festival focused on high-end TV production and funding sources.
At this year’s CineLink - the industry strand of Sarajevo Film Festival (Aug 12-20) – much of the discussion revolved around funding challenges for film-makers in the former-Yugoslavia region.
A variety of industry panels, discussions and masterclasses spotlighted topics including the production of high-end television drama, the emerging field of virtual reality, tax incentives schemes and national funding bodies.
There was plenty of chatter amongst the indigenous industry attending the event about the fact that the establishment of a regional fund would significantly aid producers from the area.
One model to follow could be the Nordic model, which backs high-end television and film projects through the Nordisk Film & TV Fund – encompassing Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Finland and Sweden (plus associated territories Åland Islands, Faroe Islands and Greenland).
Projects that have recently received production or distribution funding through the fund include Rams, Sparrows...

As one of the first festivals of the year, Berlin is often the starting point of the festival life for many a movie and while lots of attention is placed on Cannes, Berlin seems to premiere a lot of smaller projects from up-and-coming directors which bodes well for new discoveries. Case in point: Humidity.
Having recently premiered at Berlin's forum, the mystery from Nikola Ljuca stars Milos Timotijevic as Petar, a well liked construction manager whose wife disappears without warning. Everyone reassures him that she's probably just taken off for some alone time but as days pass and she doesn't return, Petar starts to freak out and his seemingly perfect world starts to show cracks.
