More than a hundred projects have been presented as part of this program since its creation in 2013, including “The Head” (Mediapro/Hulu), “No Man’s Land” (Arte/Hulu) or “Devils” (Sky).

Three series that were pitching in the Co-Pro Pitching Sessions have been selected as part of the 2021 Festival’s Official Selection: “Blackport”, “Jerusalem” and “The Last Socialist Artefact”.
