ABOUT SOFIA MEETINGS

Sofia Meetings is the industry platform of the Sofia International Film Festival and one of the leading co-production markets in South-Eastern Europe.

The event plays an active role in strengthening the regional audiovisual ecosystem by supporting emerging talent, encouraging cross-border collaboration, and connecting Southeast Europe with the wider international industry. A special focus is placed on filmmakers from low-production-capacity (LPC) countries, ensuring meaningful access to European and global markets.
