New second feature films by Srdjan Koljevic and Ruxandra Zenide are among 13 European film projects being pitched at the 4th Sofia Meetings from March 8-10 during this week's Sofia International Film Festival (March 1-11).

Serbian writer-director Koljevic will be in Sofia with The Woman With The Broken Nose which was also presented at last month's Berlinale Co-Production Market. The project is being co-produced by Germany's Mediopolis Filmproduction and Belgrade-based Film House Bas Celik, the partners on Srdan Golubovic's The Trap, which was premiered in this year's Berlinale Forum.

Meanwhile, Romanian-born, Geneva-based Ruxandra Zenide, who came to international festival audiences' attention with her feature debut Ryna in 2005, will present her next film On The Edge Of Happiness about a 23-year-old girl from a rural area in Romania who comes to Switzerland to work and earn enough money to fulfil her dream of buying a barge to transport tourists through the Danube Delta.

Zenide and Alexandre Iordachescu's Geneva-based production company Elefant Films will produce this film which ideally will have Ryna's lead actress Doroteea Petre cast in the female lead.

In addition, German writer-director Peter Boesenberg will pitch his adaptation of the Bodo Kirchhoff novel Where The Sea Begins which already has Karl 'Baumi' Baumgartner of Pandora Filmproduktions GmbH onboard as producer.
