CineMart

CineMart is IFFR Pro’s co-production market, where a highly curated lineup of remarkable projects from every corner of the world are presented to international industry representatives, each looking for financial and creative partners. Bold independent feature film projects are launched onto the market, along with select immersive media projects.

CineMart project submissions

Submissions are now open for CineMart, next taking place from 1 to 4 February during IFFR 2026.

CineMart 2025: expanding the frame

From politically charged narratives to genre-defying experiments in immersive media, CineMart 2025 reaffirmed its role as a catalyst – a space where projects find the partnerships they need to take the next leap forward.

About CineMart

Each year, CineMart invites a select number of filmmakers and producers to present their projects to co-producers, funds, sales agents, distributors and other potential financiers.

CineMart was the first platform of its kind to offer filmmakers the opportunity to launch their ideas to the international film industry and to find the right connections to bring their projects to reality.

CineMart meetings by Jan de Groen.
  • Editorial line

    CineMart is known for its highly curated editorial line of distinct projects in story and form. We present projects by independent directors and producers, ensuring there is a wide variety by presenting smaller, more vulnerable work alongside films by established teams with higher budgets. The CineMart selection reflects the overall editorial line of the programme of IFFR.

    The full selection should form a balance of distinct voices where each project can uniquely shine, featuring different subjects and cinematic styles, with debut features to established filmmakers, from fiction to hybrid and experimental works, in a balance of gender and representation (of everyone in the project involved). In 2024, the lineup included stop-motion animation, a biopic, thrillers, car chases and immersive media.

  • Immersive media

    Immersive media projects are a fully integrated part of the market and up to four titles will be presented at the 42nd edition of CineMart in 2025.

    To enter an immersive project for consideration at CineMart please submit it to IMPULSE Content. This programme facilitates matchmaking to support immersive media projects reaching their next steps and is a joint partnership of XR4Europe, VRDays Immersive Tech Week, IFFR Pro and Stereopsia.

    The deadline for the IMPULSE Content Call is 13 September 2024.

  • Connecting projects and industry

    Selected projects work together with experienced experts – who have the role as mentors throughout – to assess what the project precisely needs, so we can provide tailored support to get the most out of the market experience. Guests and projects alike can indicate with who they want to meet, and whether you join us as a project team or guest, you will be provided with a tailored schedule. Our aim is to have a strong focus on finding the right creative and financial partners and fostering lasting connections.

  • Join us

    CineMart is a by-invitation-only market. We carefully review the guestlist each year in order to ensure that the attending industry representatives can contribute and possibly commit to the projects in the CineMart selection. CineMart delegates are co-producers, sales agents, distributors, broadcasters and potential financiers. CineMart badge holders can request meetings with all presented projects.

Darkroom

Darkroom is IFFR Pro’s work-in-progress platform that takes place during CineMart. Project teams receive expert consultancy and have the chance to present their work to international sales agents, festival programmers and buyers.
