Forum Alentours 2025 ended on a high note in Strasbourg!
For its 20th edition, Forum Alentours brought together nearly 350 film and audiovisual professionals from 1 to 3 July. This special anniversary edition once again confirmed the event’s central role in the cross-border ecosystem of audiovisual creation. It was also marked by a highlight: the announcement of the winners of the Prix CinEuro 2025.
The winners of the CinEuro Prize 2025
Between professional meetings, panels on various subjects and networking moments, the pitches of the projects in the running for the CinEuro Prize attracted a great deal of attention. At the end of these fascinating presentations, the jury deliberated and chose the two winners (one in the Fiction category and the other in the Documentary category) for this year’s event.
