Are you a filmmaker with a captivating story that delves into the intricate world of European institutions and power dynamics? If so, CinEuro FilmLab: European Stories is calling for your feature film or series project! And here at Greenflix, we see this as a unique opportunity to embed sustainability into your project right from its inception.
Organized by ASA, ARRF, and SCREEN.BRUSSELS, this unique initiative offers an incredible opportunity to develop your project within the specific context of Europe’s political landscape.
A Network for Cross-Border Co-Production
CinEuro is a vibrant network spanning seven key European regions: Grand Est France, Northern Switzerland, Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Brussels-Capital, and Wallonia. The CinEuro FilmLab is designed to foster the development of feature films and series that explore the connections and relationships between these diverse territories.
European Institutions at the Heart of Your Narrative
This year’s call specifically focuses on projects that depict Europe-related issues through the lens of its institutions and places of power. Think Brussels, Strasbourg, and Luxembourg – cities bustling with politicians, civil servants, journalists, lobbyists, and activists. These vibrant hubs of influence are the ideal settings for the stories CinEuro FilmLab is seeking to support.
Tailored Support for Selected Projects
Up to five feature film or series projects will be selected for a year-long program of intensive support. This includes dedicated scriptdoctoring sessions and comprehensive pitching trainings. Participants will also have the invaluable chance to network with other scriptwriters and directors from partner regions.
The program culminates in exciting pitching sessions at BRIFF 2026 (Brussels International Film Festival, Belgium) and FORUM ALENTOURS 2026 (Strasbourg, France), providing direct access to potential co-producers.
