The selected Serbian projects, which will be presented to both foreign and domestic producers, distributors, sales agents, festival representatives and film fund directors on 4 and 5 March 2017, are feature and documentary films in various stages of development. They will be presented within the framework of a two-day workshop organised by Film Center Serbia and run by Gabriele Brunnenmeyer, who also selected the projects. After the workshop, the producers and directors will present their projects during pitching sessions and one-on-one meetings with the guests of FEST FORWARD. The projects are vying for 4,000 EUR given by Film Center Serbia.
Foreign projects are part of the “Women in Film” lineup with a special focus on feature films and documentaries about women and/or directed by women.
