And that’s the end for Forum Alentours 2025 !

Publié par Eda Uner le Friday 18 July 2025

Industry meeting

And that’s the end for Forum Alentours 2025 !

Fruitful exchanges and sparks of creativity!

That’s how we can sum up the 20th edition of the Forum Alentours. This anniversary edition made a real impact, especially through the exciting pitches, one-to-one sessions and panels. Here’s a summary of the highlights of this anniversary edition.

 

Record attendance despite the heatwave!

This year’s Forum Alentours was attended by more than 350 audiovisual professionals – a remarkable turnout despite the very hot weather, which testifies to the growing interest in this flagship event.

With 55% women, 45% men and 10% non-binary people, this year’s event marks a significant step towards greater inclusiveness in the audiovisual sector.

A stronger cross-border dynamic

The Forum Alentours continues to play a key role in strengthening links between the French, German, Swiss, and Luxembourg partners in the CinEuro network. At this 20ᵉ edition, the number of German participants increased significantly, once again demonstrating the importance of the Alentours Forum in stimulating co-productions and fostering the emergence of stories rooted in our shared cultural space.

Exciting pitch sessions

The pitch sessions brought together nearly 200 participants in front of some twenty funders and around a catalogue of 22 Forum Alentours projects, 8 CinEuro Prize projects, including 1 author’s project from the ‘European Stories’ inspiration visit organised in November 2024 in Strasbourg.

At the end of the eight finalist presentations for the CinEuro Prize 2025, the jury deliberated and selected the two winners (one in the “Fiction” category and the other in the “Documentary” category) for this year’s competition.

Find out about the 2025 winners

Towards an even more sustainable event

In line with the sector’s eco-responsible commitments, this year’s Forum introduced a number of initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint: encouraging eco-mobility, vegetarian meals, reusable badges, etc. A survey of participants was also carried out on their arrival to measure the environmental impact of the event more precisely and to work together to find ways of improving it. Thanks to the commitment of the participants and the support of the Éco-Manifestations Alsace association, the Forum has been awarded level 2 certification!

 

Relive the highlights of the Forum on video!

Thank you for your participation and see you next year! 👋
