Crossroads Co-production Forum: November 3-7
The Crossroads Co-production Forum selects projects in development and its objective is to support fiction films which have a link to the Mediterranean regions and Southeastern Europe by introducing them to a network of financiers, co-producers and leading industry specialists from all over the world, during a 4-day event in Thessaloniki.
This year, AGORA has selected 15 promising film projects from 17 countries across Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean region, in various stages of development. The lineup includes a mix of debut and sophomore feature films from emerging talents, as well as projects from established filmmakers that tackle a wide range of themes such as family, identity, and roots, often blending genres like noir, fantasy, political commentary, absurdity, and dark comedy to create compelling and thought-provoking narratives.
