AGORA BRIDGES

AGORA launched a new bridge for collaboration in 2023, titled Bridge to the North, bringing together the north and south of Europe by welcoming a different guest country each year from the Baltic and Scandinavian regions. This new Festival initiative is now expanding to include countries in Central Europe, introducing the new spotlight programme AGORA Bridges, highlighting opportunities and possibilities in the fields of funding and artistic collaboration, while also fostering fertile ground for co-productions, synergies, and cultural exchange. The program has already successfully welcomed Finland, Lithuania, and Sweden.

This year, we are delighted to welcome Austria as the Guest Country, in collaboration with AUSTRIAN FILMS. A delegation of Austrian producers and representatives of film organizations will attend all AGORA activities. All professional activities of the AGORA will be open to applications from projects, talents, and films from Austria.
