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.

Moscow -- The 26th edition of the Warsaw International Film Festival, which kicks off on Oct. 8, is going to show how the organizers are dealing with the fest's increased international status.
"Last year, the Warsaw International Film Festival became part of the Fiapf list of "international competitive non-specialized festivals", which brought about serious consequences," Stefan Laudyn, the fest's director, told The Hollywood Reporter. "This year, we received a record number of submissions and a couple of dozen collaboration offers from various companies."
According to Laudyn, the festival's motto remains unchanged: "Films about the people for the people." More than 130 films, divided into several sections, such as international competition, Free Spirit competition, documentary and short competitions, are to be screened at this year's event.
Among the highlights of this year's program are movies of different genres, from historical dramas, like "The Edge" by Russian director Alexei Uchitel or the Czech movie...
