The **AGORA Works in Progress** selects projects in post-production stage, which have a link to the Mediterranean regions and Southeastern Europe, and presents them to sales agents, distributors, producers, streaming platforms and festival programmers with the objective to raise finishing funds, secure sales agents, festival premieres and book meetings with potential partners.

Once a project has been selected, the director(s) and producer(s) are called to participate in the preparatory online workshop in October. The workshop is mandatory and includes pitching training, feedback on the pre-recorded pitch and film excerpts for both the online use and the live presentation as well as print presentation feedback (synopsis, director’s notes etc).

The director(s) and producer(s) are both advised to be present during the five days of AGORA Works in Progress (November 1-6, 2025). At least one representative of the project should be present.

Your project’s meetings schedule will be sent to you a few days before the program begins. The schedule will be based upon requests from the invited industry professionals. Additional meetings are scheduled and curated by the AGORA team and upon availability.

Finished film projects presented at the AGORA Works in Progress agree to mention their participation in the AGORA Works in Progress by adding the program’s logo in their credits. The following sentence should be mentioned in the credit list: "\[film title\] has been presented at AGORA Works in Progress of the \[festival edition\] Thessaloniki International Film Festival \[year\]". The logo will be sent to the filmmakers upon selection of the project.
