The Sarajevo Film Festival is introducing the Talents Innovation Forum, a three‑day strand embedded in the CineLink Industry Days Training & Skills programme. Designed to give both emerging talent and seasoned professionals a clearer view of the accelerating overlap between cinema, animation, and video‑game development, Talents Innovation Forum will explore in‑game cinematic directing, large‑scale world‑building, IP adaptation, real‑time virtual production, and AI‑driven workflows. Sessions led by studios, artist collectives, and post‑production teams will demonstrate how cinematic language migrates into interactive environments and outline concrete models for cross‑disciplinary collaboration. By gathering these creators in one space, Talents Innovation Forum strengthens Sarajevo’s role as a regional nexus where screen‑based industries meet, exchange skills, and form forward‑looking partnerships.
