ΑGORA Docs in Progress: March 10 - 14
The AGORA Docs in Progress program remains the main event in the region for directors and producers from Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean regions to present their documentary films to buyers, co-producers, festival representatives and sales agents at the stage just before completion.
This year's selection of films presents a rich tapestry woven with threads that traverse various aspects of the challenging realities of our world. Eleven poignant narratives will guide us through a spectrum of emotions, introducing us to compelling subjects and resilient characters who have fought for acceptance, pursued their dreams, and confronted adversity with courage and resilience.
