This year’s main CineLink documentary activities were concentrated on 16 and 17 August. At their center was Docu Rough Cut Boutique, a long-standing program jointly developed by CineLink Industry Days and the Balkan Documentary Center, which brought five feature-length documentaries at the advanced editing stage to Sarajevo.
In addition, Docu Talents from the East, organized by the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival, presented seven projects from Central and Eastern Europe in production or post-production.
The best projects were announced at the CineLink Docu Awards Ceremony on August 17. Take a look at the winners.
