Sarajevo Film Festival's Docu Rough Cut Boutique, for Southeast European documentary films in post-production, has announced its 2018 selection. 

“Sometimes we have to make difficult decisions - to choose the best five while there are more potentially good, strong projects. But we have only 5 places! We have chosen those which impressed us with their amazing, unusual stories, with remarkable access to protagonists as well as sharp directors’ point of view," say Rada Šešić and Martichka Bozhilova, directors of Docu Rough Cut Boutique. "In our opinion, these five projects are in the biggest need to zoom out and see the bigger picture of their topic, to re-visit their material in the company of documentary experts and discuss openly and thoroughly the best possible narrative structure. This is the way to create internationally appealing, remarkable documentaries”.
