Sarajevo Film Festival

After kicking off with a pilot version last year, the initiative expanded to include a series of masterclasses with leading casting directors and a range of programs intended to boost exposure for the emerging talents. The ICDN’s Timka Grin says the platform will not only build a bridge between foreign casting directors and new talent from the region, but offer valuable skills for actors not used to the Western method of casting.

After offering a day-long series of masterclasses during last year’s edition, which was organized in partnership with the U.K.’s Spotlight, this year’s program is spread across three days, with sessions led by leading casting directors Nathalie Cheron , Marina Wijn , Piotr Bartuszek , Sofia Dimopoulou , and ICDN head Beatrice Kruger .

Along with the masterclasses, the actors will be accredited to attend all CineLink industry events, where they can network with international film professionals; learn from Bosnian-born actor Goran Bogdan, whose international TV credits include FX’s “Fargo” and HBO’s “Success”; take part in a photocall on the red carpet outside Sarajevo’s National Theater; and be presented to the media.
