EXCLUSIVE: The Thessaloniki International Film Festival’s industry-focused AGORA section has selected 15 projects from 14 countries for this year’s Crossroads Co-production Forum. Scroll down for the full list of projects. 

Hailing from across southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean region, the projects are in various stages of development. The selection features debut and sophomore feature films alongside more experienced directors presenting their third and even fifth film projects. The selection also features ten female directors of different ethnic backgrounds.

Taking place largely onsite with additional online networking opportunities, participants will join workshops on how to present their projects to the industry, with mentorship from producer Amanda Livanou (Neda Film).

As part of this year’s AGORA section, running (Nov 3-11), the festival will also launch Bridge to the North, a new collaborative strand aimed at “creating fertile ground for co-productions, synergies, and cultural exchange” through exploring new opportunities in financing and artistic collaborations. Each year, the strand will platform a guest country from the Baltic and Scandinavian regions. This year, the guest country is Lithuania. In partnership with the Lithuanian Film Centre, a Lithuanian delegation of producers, directors, distributors, and film programmers will attend all AGORA activities and participate with their own projects.

Elsewhere in new additions, AGORA and the Thessaloniki Film Festival have set a new competition prize, the Greener Screen Consultancy Award. The prize comes with a €7,000 cash prize alongside a tailored green production plan for the winning project, virtual training for the eco-manager on this plan, continuous support for the eco-manager during prep-stage and production and optional “Greener Script” consultancy sessions for the writer, director and the creative producer. The prize is part of the festival’s plan to pioneer ecological sustainability throughout the industry. 

This year marks the 19th edition of the Crossroads Co-production Forum. It will run Nov 5-9. Recent Crossroads Co-production Forum projects include Cannes titles Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry by Elene Naveriani and Inshallah A Boy by Amjad Al Rasheed. Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren’s Berlin competition title, 20,000 Species of Bees, was also developed at Crossroads. 

The Thessaloniki Film Festival will run Nov 2 – 12.
