Crossroads Co-production Forum: November 2-6
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 14 promising film projects from 16 countries across Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean region, in various stages of development.
The lineup presents projects from emerging and established filmmakers that tell powerful stories with a twist. Detective stories, exciting science fiction universes, complex and heartwarming family bonds, blood sucking relationships, absurd comedies, gripping social commentary, bank heists, lone explorers and tourist resorts - all come together to form a dynamic selection which promises to move and intrigue the industry audience.
