Focus COPRO’ 2025

The Focus COPRO’ gathers first feature projects at early stage of work from filmmakers selected in the Festival de Cannes’ short film sections – in Competition & Directors’ Fortnight – as well as from other filmmakers scouted all year round.  

The program puts networking & close interactions at the center of its ambitions by gathering key industry representatives within an Industry Lunch and creates synergies between these decision-makers and the filmmakers developing their first feature film. 

Project-holders receive guidance from established mentors through presentations on film financing, sales, development platforms & markets available, as well as tailor-made consultancies helping them establish their co-production strategy & target what could be the best journey to pursue the development of their first feature.
