Talents Sarajevo 2018 offers participants a rich programme which includes master lectures, discussions, practical workshops and film screenings which will be organized during the Sarajevo Film Festival. Specific programme modules aimed at film workers with various professional profiles, participation of renowned international film experts, and Pack&Pitch and Script Station laboratories for project development stand out with their specifically conceptualized approach to mentorship and support which Talents Sarajevo provides to unestablished regional talents.

Talents Sarajevo was launched in cooperation with the Berlin International Film Festival and the Berlinale Talents programme. During the last ten years, the programme has continuously developed and grown into a regional intersection for connecting and training prospective film workers. Besides gathering young filmmakers and offering them an opportunity for professional development, this platform allows participants to become familiar with works by established experts, informs them of contemporary processes in the film industry and arts, and presents them to regional and international film communities.

The programme will be held in parallel with the Sarajevo Film Festival which takes place from August 10th to 17th, 2018.
