Central and Eastern European filmmakers presented 19 projects at various stages of production at Karlovy Vary’s annual Works in Progress initiative.
The popular industry programme at Kviff is in its ninth year, and past films shown as Works In Progress include I Am, Lunacy, Katyn, Tricks, Alois Nebel and My Dog Killer, among many others.
This year’s selection included a standout pitch for The Disobedient [pictured], a Serbian coming-of-age road movie about two 24-year-olds from Tilva Ros producers Mina Djukic (who will direct) and Nikola Lezaic.The film is now in post for autumn delivery after wrapping its shoot in September 2012.
Another promising Serbian title, of a very different flavour, was the crowdpleasing dark comedy Monument to Michael Jackson (working title). The film will be ready to launch this autumn and the footage shown got the day’s only laughs out of the industry-heavy crowd. The film is a co-production with Macedonia and Germany.

★★★★★ Tilva Ros (2010) is easily the finest film of this year's Raindance Film Festival and outside of that favourable context, still one of the most satisfying dramas in a year that has brought us Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive and Tomas Alfredson's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Nikola Lezaic's debut feature is a marvel, without being on any tangible level particularly original or radical - this is a film that knows exactly what it wants to be and confidently succeeds on every count.
