Baltic Event has selected 15 projects from 10 countries for its 2026 coproduction market. The projects will be presented to international producers, financiers and sales agents in Tallinn from 18 to 20 November.
The selection comprises feature films and animation projects in development. According to Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event, the market has been a meeting place since 2005 for projects still seeking coproduction partners, financing or international sales. More than 300 pre-arranged meetings are organised each year.
Eight of the 15 projects come from directors making their first feature film. The selection places additional emphasis on the Baltic region and the Basque Country as a focus area. The subjects range from family drama and social tensions to psychological thriller and family film.
The Netherlands is represented by The Boy Who Loves the World by Steven Wouterlood, produced by Maaike Neve and Joram Willink of BIND. Family Squad comes from a collaboration between Ukraine, Germany and Czechia. My World Upside Down is also a Slovak-Czech project.
The best project receives the Eurimages Co-Production Development Award. The prize comes with a non-repayable contribution of €20,000, to be used exclusively for development costs for the coproduction project. The market also cites a Producers Network Prize for promising young producers.
Selection for the market is not a commitment to production or distribution financing. Its business value lies in access to decision-makers and potential international partners. For producers from smaller European production countries, Tallinn is therefore primarily a place to raise the profile of early-stage projects before national funds, broadcasters or sales agents make definitive commitments.
