When the organizers of the Sarajevo Film Festival’s CineLink Industry Days surveyed the local TV landscape several years ago, they recognized the chance to make an impact. “We decided five years ago that we need to do something,” says CineLink industry coordinator Armin Hadzic. “The [regional] TV and public broadcasters were coming from another age.”
Hadzic and his colleagues traveled to industry events across Europe for inspiration. He recalls being floored by the quality of TV Drama Vision, the Goteborg film festival’s annual Nordic drama showcase. “It was light years away—not just for us, but for the rest of Europe,” he says.

Vanja Svilicic’s Zagreb Cappuccino has won the works in progress award at the Pula Film Festival.
The prize comes for the first time with $8900 (Hrk 50,000) in post-production services by Teleking.
The jury deciding the best film from the six pitches was comprised of Cannes programme advisor Joel Chapron, Slovenian producer Ira Cecić, and the Serbian Film Centre’s Miroljub Vučković.
The jury said in a statement: “Zagreb Cappuccino is a brave film about growing-up both of its characters and its author Vanja Sviličić, who presented the complexity of the lives of her characters using rich film terminology and showing respect for rules concerning television expression.”
The film is a drama, the director’s feature debut, about two women in their 40s who are old friends who have taken different paths in life. A night on the town leads them to meeting much younger men. The film is now editing with a 90-minute rough cut in progress...
