We have the pleasure to announce the selected projects for FEST - Pitching Forum 2018.
More than 200 projects, from all over the world, have been pitched at the Pitching Forum. From Hong Kong, India, the UK, Italy, Belgium, Germany, to the USA, Romania, and, of course, Portugal. We saw the birth of many amazing projects that have since reached their maturity.
For this edition, the selection was particularly hard to do, as we received the record number of 135 applications, with many great and promising projects among them - much more than we could choose! So we evaluated all the submissions very carefully, and finally decided to admit the exceptional number of 31 projects.
We would like to thank all the applicants and to wish you the best luck with developing your projects.
And to all finalists, congratulations, you will now have the chance to present your project to an international jury and win support for your production, including the awards funded by our partners: ENVY, Goldcrest and Halo.
