AGORA Works in Progress #TIFF66

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.

This year’s AGORA Works in Progress lineup includes 8 films from 15 countries across Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean region currently in post-production.The selection challenges conventional cinematic forms, introducing original narratives that transcend genres and offer a view to a compelling and thought-provoking cinematic universe. Spanning from politically engaged works, realist explorations and satire as well as bold interpretations of genre, the films reflect a wide spectrum of contemporary storytelling style. Each is articulated through a refined narrative style, visual narrative form, and a commitment to independent, unique storytelling perspective.
