The CinEuro Prize finalists were revealed on Sunday May 19 in Cannes, at the Meet & Greet organized by CinEuro.

The event brought together 200 film and audiovisual professionals from the partner regions, giving them the opportunity to make contacts and discover the shortlisted films in the fiction and documentary categories.

The finalists will pitch their projects on July 3 at the Forum Alentours in Strasbourg. The jury will then select the winners, whose names will be revealed that evening at a reception at ARTE GEIE.

The Fiction Prize is awarded 30,000 euros, and the Documentary Prize 15,000 euros.
