The **Crossroads Co-production Forum** selects projects in development and its objective is to support fiction films which have a link to the Mediterranean regions and Southeastern Europe by introducing them to a network of financiers, co-producers and leading industry specialists from all over the world, during a 4-day event in Thessaloniki.

Once a project has been selected, the director(s) and producer(s) are invited to participate in the preparatory online workshop in September. The workshop is mandatory and includes one-to-one pitching training, as well as feedback on the project's materials (synopsis, director’s notes etc), pre-recorded pitch and mood video for both the online use and the live presentation.

The director(s) and producer(s) are both advised to be present during the five days of Crossroads Co-production Forum (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 Crossroads Co-production Forum 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 sprung from the Co-production Forum agree to mention their participation in the Crossroads Co-production Forum 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 Crossroads Co-Production Forum of the \[festival edition\] Thessaloniki International Film Festival \[year\]". The Crossroads logo will be sent to the filmmakers upon selection of the project.
