The titles will be showcased to the invited film-industry professionals. Works in Progress hosts screenings that are exclusively intended for Agora’s accredited guests, and the films will thus be presented to the producers, sales agents, distributors and festival representatives that will attend the 63^rd edition of the Thessaloniki International Film Festival. This way, the aforementioned professionals will be given the chance to be the first to single out interesting movies from the Mediterranean, Central Europe and the Balkans that have entered the very last stage before their completion.

In addition, the projects’ teams will be in with a chance of winning one of the Agora Works in Progress post-production awards: image post-production services by Authorwave, a Music and Sound Award by music company MuSou, sound-mixing services by 119 Marvila Studios, VFX services by Yafka, the Onassis Cinema Award, a Marketing Award sponsored by Asterisk*, and the ERT Agora Works in Progress Award, which will go to a Greek project.

The winners will be selected by the international jury, comprising Agathe Corbin, acquisitions manager at Urban Sales (France); Lenka Tyrpakova, programmer at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (Czech Republic); and Greek producer Konstantinos Vassilaros (of StudioBauhaus).
