Christopher Vourlias Nineteen up-and-coming producers from 12 countries across Southeast Europe and the wider Black Sea region have been selected to take part in the first edition of the CineLink Producers’ Lab, a new networking and training program launched by the industry arm of the Sarajevo Film Festival.Taking place from Aug.

12-15 as part of the CineLink Industry Days program, the lab was conceived to help prepare emerging producers for a rapidly changing market, according to Sarajevo’s head of industry Maša Marković. “We really wanted to have something that is more catered to [the producers’] needs,” she said. “This is a really unique generation, and it’s a specific moment in a producer’s career.” Marković noted how the rise of both regional and global streaming services has brought fresh investment into the region, disrupted the traditional supply chain and afforded new opportunities to local producers.She also pointed to the dramatic, paradigm-shifting events of the past two years, when the coronavirus pandemic upended the industry’s typical approach to doing business.“You have young producers who entered the market, maybe in 2018 or 2019, and didn’t manage to build their own network of peers.

They spent two years behind their desk screens,” said Marković. “A producer’s career is based on establishing contacts, and you have a bunch of emerging producers that didn’t manage to do it.”The three-day training program will offer participants skill-building sessions with a host of veteran filmmakers and industry experts.
