Thessaloniki Agora Unveils 2026 Works in Progress Lineup

The 2026 Thessaloniki Film Festival has announced the eleven titles selected for its Agora Works in Progress sessions. The program highlights films currently in post-production that maintain a creative or production link to the Mediterranean basin and Southeastern Europe.

Among the chosen projects is an adaptation of Ioanna Karystiani's novel "Swell," representing the literary-to-screen pipeline the forum often champions. The selection reflects the festival's ongoing commitment to supporting regional cinema through its critical finishing stages.

Agora's industry platform will present these works to an audience of international buyers, festival programmers, and sales agents. The sessions serve as a vital bridge for filmmakers seeking completion funds, distribution deals, and festival premiere slots for their nearly finished features.
