Work In Progress

The Work in Progress is a presentation of European projects in post-production. Around 14 projects are presented during a special screening during the Industry Village. 8 to 9 minutes of excerpts of each project are screened in front of industry professionals (sales agent, distributors, festival programmers…) by their teams.
2026 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The Work In Progress call for projects for the 2026 edition is open.
Deadline: October 14th
The selected projects in post-production will be presented during a special screening to an audience made up of international sellers, distributors and festival programmers. A selection of excerpts of 8/9 minutes of each project will be screened.
A quick reminder of the eligibility criteria :
- Fiction, animation or documentary with a minimum length of 70 min, currently in production or post-production
- The production should be mainly European
- The project should have no sales agent attached
- It must be the first presentation of the project in a Work in Progress session.
Please note that in order to assess the projects, we ask for a preview link for some scenes of the film. We ask for 10 minutes material minimum, but can also assess from a whole rough cut - it is however strongly advised to prepare and send us 20 to 30 minutes of excerpts. All material sent must be English or French subtitled, and scenes, no teasers. If language is French or English no need for subtitles.
TorinoFilmLab collaboration
TorinoFilmLab and Les Arcs join forces once again to select one TFL alumni project in production or post-production among the Work in Progress selection, under the "Coming Soon" initiative. Eligible projects are those developed through past editions of ScriptLab, ComedyLab, FeatureLab Next, Extended, or Funds, and must meet the general call eligibility criteria (see above). As an exception specific to this initiative, non-European projects with a European co-producer are also accepted. Eligible projects can submit their application through the platform above.
