Junior Co-production Market

Junior Co-Production Market brings together international feature and episodic projects in development and post-production. The market starts with pitches from all selected projects, followed by one-on-one meetings between project teams and potential partners. Selected projects are eligible for a Eurimages Award, the Publikum Audience Awareness Award or the Filmmore Post-production Award.

Junior Critics (formerly Ask Your Audience) connects creators directly with children from their target audience. During these feedback sessions, creators discover how children experience their project and gain valuable insights to support its further development. In this way, young audiences play an active role in the creative process.
