PriFORUM, the key event for the Kosovar film industry, will run from 18-21 July. Nine regional projects (read about them here) will participate in the Best Pitch Competition, and in addition to the consultation that they will receive from EAVE, they will also be vying for a €50,000 post-production award provided by Kosovar company In My Country. Additionally, the fourth edition of Prishtina Rendezvous will help distributors and sales agents from Europe to find out more about current Balkan film projects.

Finally, the newest concept that has been devised by PriFest is the relaunch of Kosovo Rising Stars, which will give Kosovar actors a unique opportunity to network and meet four leading European casting directors along with Karin Dix, the programme director of EFP’s Shooting Stars. The experts will run both open and closed sessions, and they will also have a chance to scout for new talents in Kosovo.
