This year’s edition of CineLink Co-Production Market presented 12 feature projects currently in development and financing from up and coming filmmakers from South-East Europe that have already gained some notoriety with their documentary and short projects. The projects were presented to more than 150 producers, funders and sales agents from more than 30 countries. The amount of 76.000 € in cash and services was offered through awards.
The Eurimages Co-Production Development Award, decided by a jury consisting of Inke Van Loocke (International Film Festival Rotterdam), Klaudia Śmieja-Rostworowska (Madants), Nino Kirtadze (Georgian National Film Centre) and Anne Christine Knoth (Council of Europe – Eurimages), went to Thanassis Neofotistos’ project The Boy With the Light Blue Eyes, which is described as “a coming of age queer Greek tragedy”. The project was awarded €20,000. In the same category, the Eurimages Special Co-Production Development Award went to Marysia Nikitiuk’s project Cherry Blossoms which deals with the post-traumatic state in which the heroes who survived the Russian-Ukrainian War meet the heroine from Bosnia who survived the war in the 1990s.
