Crossroads Co-production Forum

Crossroads Co-production Forum aims at a strong selection of projects in development from the countries of Southeastern Europe, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean region, giving producers and directors the opportunity to present their ideas to a number of potential financial partners, receive feedback and grow their professional network. This year’s Agora Crossroads Co-production Forum presents 14 projects from Greece, Cyprus, Spain, France, Italy, Lebanon, North Macedonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czechia, Romania and Ukraine.
