Co-Production Market, held at Baltic Event since 2005, is the meeting-place for feature films in development looking for co-producers, financiers and sales agents. Around 15 projects are selected each year and over 300 pre-arranged meetings held with decision-makers who have made Tallinn their yearly stopover to look for new projects for their slates.
Starting in 2024, the co-production market lineup includes five projects specifically aimed at children and youth audiences.
Projects from Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, North Macedonia, Georgia, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine, and Focus Country are accepted. Additionally, projects from other countries may qualify for the Co-Production Market if they seek co-production with one of the eligible countries listed above.
Project representatives will receive training on topics such as marketing and distribution in international markets, multi-platform opportunities, and alternative financing methods.
The Baltic Event Co-Production Market returns from 19–21 November, presenting 15 new film projects — including debut works, fresh features, and compelling stories from acclaimed directors. For the second year, the selection also features films aimed at youth and children.
