MONTREAL /CNW/ – The final installment of First Cut+  is coming to an end, and this edition’s winning project has been revealed. First Cut+ is a program designed to increase the appeal and commercial viability of feature films. This latest installment took place during  KVIFF ‘s Eastern Promises Industry Days , a major segment of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival . This year, First Cut+ presented eight captivating films (see news ) which are currently in post-production.

Harley Chamandy , an emerging Canadian filmmaker making his directorial debut, won the First Cut+ TRT award for his film, Allen Sunshine . Thanks to this recognition, initiated in partnership with the Turkish public broadcaster TRT , a prize of 5,000 euros was awarded to the winner. A group of film professionals presided over the decision-making process – including
