Fifteen promising projects from Central and Eastern Europe have been selected for this year’s Warsaw Co-Production Forum, which will take place on 15 October as part of Warsaw Industry Days, during the 41st Warsaw Film Festival.

The forum aims to offer directors and producers constructive feedback and networking opportunities with co-production partners, distributors, sales agents and festival programmers. Over three days, selected teams will take part in pitching workshops (led by Gabriele Brunnenmeyer) and one-on-one consultations with script advisors Franz Rodenkirchen and Françoise von Roy.

Projects in development will be competing for post-production services by ORKA Film and a Music Licence Award from No Problemo Music. The Works in Progress segment allows producers at advanced stages of production or post-production to receive expert feedback and to pitch directly to industry players. The winner will receive services worth 100,000 PLN (approximately €23,500) from the Wrocław Feature Film Studio.

The Warsaw Co-Production Forum continues to serve as a strategic hub for bridging regional talent with international film-industry players across Central and Eastern Europe, fostering collaboration, innovation and creative growth within a dynamic professional environment. Industry accreditation is open until today, 10 October.
