CineLink Drama, a flagship program of the CineLink Industry Days dedicated to supporting drama projects in their development stages, has unveiled six promising drama series from Southeast Europe for its upcoming lineup. These projects will be refined during an on-site workshop in Slano, Croatia, with a focus on script development and story editing with an aim of better positioning these projects in the market.

CineLink Drama has been specifically designed to cater to the evolving needs of the regional  industry. By bringing together professionals from diverse fields such as screenwriting, production, direction, and broadcasting, CineLink Drama strives to foster creativity and collaboration within the Southeast European television industry. It serves as a platform for pitching and developing original TV series projects, while also providing valuable networking opportunities and industry insights.

The selected projects will be presented at a highly anticipated pitching session during the Sarajevo Film Festival on August 20. This CineLink Drama pitching session will also feature additional projects that have been directly selected for the market. Details on these selections will be announced in the coming weeks. As a co-financing forum, CineLink Drama presents selected projects to key European and regional broadcasters, VoD, SVoD operators, and distributors, providing a vital platform for pitching and advancing original TV series projects.

Furthermore, CineLink Drama offers two prestigious awards: the Croatian Audiovisual Center Drama Award, which includes a prize of €15,000, and the TV Drama Vision Pitch Award, where one project is selected for presentation at the TV Drama Vision event in Göteborg.
