The Sarajevo Film Festival's industry program CineLink has announced the participants of the Co-Production Market and CineLink Drama sections. Additionally, it revealed a new collaboration with the Cannes Critics' Week, which will include an award valued at €10,000 ($11,400). Among the selected projects are 16 feature films and eight drama series. It is noted that nine of these projects will be directed by female directors or co-directors.

This year's selection by CineLink aims to enhance the diversity of cinema and the role of women in the industry. The presence of female directors in the projects is seen as a significant step towards gender equality in the film world. This situation will allow for the emergence of richer and more diverse stories by offering audiences different perspectives.

The collaboration with the Cannes Critics' Week will enhance the international impact of the Sarajevo Film Festival. This partnership will help projects reach a wider audience while also contributing to the discovery of new talents. The opportunities presented by CineLink are generating excitement in both the local and international film communities and paving the way for new projects to come to life.
