Calls for projects

Organised by the Film Fund Luxembourg, the 21st Rencontres de Coproduction Francophone (RCF) will be held in Luxembourg from 28 to 31 October 2025. The aim of the event is to encourage the co-production of French-language films.

Around twenty feature film projects - fiction, animation and documentary - will be selected and presented in the form of a video pitch to over a hundred industry professionals.

Any producer of a feature-length French-language fiction, animation or documentary project seeking financial backing or international co-production with the countries concerned is eligible to submit a project. The call is open to French-speaking production companies based in Quebec, Canada, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Haiti and French-speaking African countries.

The Centre du Cinéma et de l'Audiovisuel (CCA) and the ASA are launching the 2nd edition of the AIDE AU CONCEPT DE SÉRIES. This scheme aims to support the development of concepts for French-language Belgian series.

8 grants of €6,000 will be awarded to writers from the Federation Wallonia-Brussels who wish to develop series projects at the concept stage. The projects must be supported by an independent production company based in the FWB, but do not require any commitment from a broadcaster.

The aim is to enable the creation of a pitch bible, a key tool for convincing a broadcaster or submitting a project to the Series Commission.

Since 2019, INSAS has been running its TV series writing course every year. Participants work as a group to develop a series project, from the initial concept to the writing of a pilot episode, including the drafting of a literary bible. The call for applications is open; candidates must hold at least a bachelor's degree or have at least 4 years' professional experience (VAE), be highly motivated to write series and, as the main language of instruction, have a very good command of French.

The 25th edition of Cinemamed (Brussels) will take place from 27th November to 5th December 2025 at Palace cinema, Aventure cinema, and other venues in Brussels and Wallonia.
