Organised by the Sarajevo Film Festival and the Balkan Documentary Center, CineLink’s Docu Rough Cut Boutique is a regional platform dedicated to documentary projects in the advanced phase of the editing process. The programme is organised in three modules: Budapest, Sofia, and Sarajevo. This new set-up brings a greater opportunity to participants for them to explore their creative possibilities, and to have a longer, more in-depth mentoring process. This year’s novelty is the inclusion of one Ukrainian project on top of the five films previously selected.
