Co-Pro

A Focused Platform for Co-Producers and Financiers to Connect

The Co-Pro is an exclusive film market for collaborations between filmmakers, financiers and distributors from international and domestic regions.

Co-Pro aims to support projects at their development stage by connecting them with the creative and financial partners through curated meetings and networking opportunities. Feature films, fiction or non-fiction (documentary) including animation, will be accepted in IFFD CineXchange Co-Pro 2026.

Film producers, sales agents, distributors, and other representatives including broadcasters and film funding organisations actively engaged in international co-production of feature films are invited to participate.

The IFFD CineXchange Co-Pro will take place from March 25-30, 2026 with a selection of 15 film projects. These projects in their developing stage shall be ready with the treatment, storyline, moodboard, 25% of finance secured and script (if available). Two representatives of selected projects will pitch their project before an audience of producers, sales agents, distributors, and funding bodies, creating pathways to connect with potential collaborators.

Selected participants will be engaging in B2B meetings over five days at the market. These meetings will be coordinated by the market team. At least one representative, either the director or producer, of the project shall be present for the entire duration of the market. Co-Pro will provide accommodation support for one of the project representatives.

Applications will close once 150 entries are received. Applicants are encouraged to submit at the earliest.
