Participants Selected for 13th Edition of Talents Sarajevo

Talents Sarajevo accompanying the 25th edition of the annual Sarajevo Film Festival will welcome 64 up-and-coming directors, producers, screenwriters, actors, cinematographers, editors and film critics from Southeast Europe and the Southern Caucasus.

This year, participants hail from 15 of the 19 eligible nations, namely: Albania, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Moldova, Northern Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey. Nearly a third of selected participants are nationals of Turkey (11) and Greece (9), in keeping with a trend identified in recent years which indicates speedy development of national cinema in those two countries. 

Participants of the 13th edition of Talents Sarajevo will be offered access to a rich program of master classes, lectures, discussions, hands-on workshops and film screenings throughout the 25th Sarajevo Film Festival. Dedicated modules for different film crafts, participation of renowned international industry experts, as well as the project development lab (Pack&Pitch and Script Station) provide emerging regional talents with bespoke mentoring and support.

Launched in 2006 in cooperation with the Berlin International Film Festival and Berlinale Talents initiative, Talents Sarajevo transformed into the main regional hub for aspiring film professionals. It is a member of Talents International network which includes similar initiatives in Tokyo, Beirut, Guadalajara, Durban, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. 

In addition to bringing young filmmakers together for professional training sessions, the platform also introduces participants to the work of established film professionals, informs them about current trends and issues in the industry, and introduces them to the regional and international filmmaking community.
