The forum includes presentations of first, second, and third feature film projects seeking coproducers, distribution, and sales, as well as presentations of TV series looking for partners. The Works in Progress programme showcases films in various stages of postproduction to festival programmers, distributors, sales agents, film experts, and to the international media.
Sofia Meetings also offers a comprehensive industry programme featuring Industry Talks, workshops by Europa Distribution and Europa Cinemas, the VR/Transmedia Hub as a platform for interactive experiences, and keynote speakers, panels, presentations, and numerous networking events.
Over 500 film industry professionals are expected in Sofia, including producers, distributors, market representatives, sales agents, film funds, TV buyers, representatives of major festivals, and directors to discover new projects and films.
Sofia Meetings is organised with the support of Creative Europe MEDIA, the Bulgarian National Film Center, and the Sofia Municipality.
