From 6 to 10 August 2021, the selected project teams will be introduced to European and/or international professionals in order to encourage collaborations, mostly in terms of co-production, funding and distribution, but also for professional training. 

Besides the professional meetings, the six-day tailored program alternates pitching coaching, group discussions and networking activities with industry decision makers and Festival guests. 

On the last day, a professional jury grants either development, production or post-production support to a few winning projects, such as the Open Doors Grant amounting to CHF 50,000, the CNC developmment prize of 8'000 Euros, the Arte Kino International Prize of 6'000 Euros, and more.
