BOB is NOT the killer from Twin Peaks, BOB is a unique Based-On-Books cinema forum for high-level meetings and exchanges dedicated to bringing together institutional, creative and economic players in the field of adaptions. BOB is a major hub for professionals from across Europe who want to develop projects based on books. Our vision is both to serve the current needs of the domain and to shape its future. Aimed at film professionals, BOB debates major issues in two consecutive days during the International Film Festival Cinelibri.

BOB is a crossover project that fills a huge void in the development of international cooperation in the field of literature and cinema and creating an international market for adaptations. After the global development of online platforms and the increasing demand for high-quality content on the international level, the need arises for a platform where authors can present their works to producers, and industry actors can specialize concretely in the fields of adaptations.
This year BOB’s pitches selection will shine the spotlight on 10 captivating books meticulously handpicked.
