CineLink Producers’ Lab

As an integral part of the Sarajevo Film Festival’s industry platform, the CineLink Producers’ Lab continues to serve as a vital resource for emerging producers from Southeast Europe and the Southern Caucasus. The Lab is designed for early-career professionals who are at a pivotal stage in their careers, transitioning from project-based work toward building resilient, sustainable production companies.

Through a curated programme of lectures, case studies, one-on-one consultations, and peer exchange, participants explore strategic approaches to content development, financing, distribution, and company growth – all in the context of today’s evolving audiovisual landscape. Special attention is given to the integration of new technologies, and sustainable business models.
