OFF Pro Film Market, the prominent industry initiative of the Sarajevo Youth Film Festival, continues to expand its strategic presence at Europe’s most important short film events. This year, the market is set to grow its network of festivals, and as part of this initiative, it will award the best project from the Málaga Short Film Corner (during Malaga Film Festival) with direct participation at the OFF Coproduction Market in Sarajevo.
The award will cover the costs of travel, accommodation, and accreditation for the selected project, ensuring that the team behind it can fully engage in the coproduction opportunities available in Sarajevo. This marks a key moment in the development of international collaborations in short filmmaking. The Málaga award is just the beginning—two additional awards will be presented in the coming months at festivals in Belgium and Italy, continuing to open doors for creators and projects across Europe.
As one of the few industry initiatives dedicated to providing funds for the coproduction of short films, OFF Pro Film Market plays a crucial role in connecting filmmakers with vital resources and international partners. The market is widely regarded as one of the most important industry events for short films in Europe, offering unparalleled opportunities for creative exchange and networking.
The OFF Pro Film Market will be held from July 20 to 23, 2025, during the 17th Sarajevo Youth Film Festival, offering filmmakers a vital platform to explore new collaborations and bring their projects to a broader international audience.
