Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event, the region’s leading platform for the audiovisual industry, has opened the submissions for Works in Progress projects. For the 2025 edition, the call is open in three categories: Children and Youth Film (Just Film) Works in Progress, Baltic Event Works in Progress (Baltic and Finnish projects), and International Works in Progress!

Producers and directors are welcome to submit their projects for the Works in Progress presentations — whether they’re fiction, animation, or live-action animated films — as long as they’ll be in production or post-production at the time of the event. Just Film Works in Progress also warmly invites feature-length documentaries created for children aged 7–13 and young audiences 14 and older. Please note that projects should not yet have an international sales agent attached.

Triin Tramberg, the Head of Work in Progress International, urges film professionals to send in their submissions. ”Tallinn with its well-known networking vibe is a perfect launchpad to send your project in motion for the new year. With sales agents and festival programmers already scouting for their 2026 lineup, this is the very well set stage to capture attention and momentum."

Kärt Väinola, who leads the children and youth film industry section Just Film Industry Days highlights that Just Film Works in Progress, adds: ”For those of us working in the children and youth film industry, it’s never just about the market, it’s about finding the right hands and hearts to help a story take flight. In Tallinn, you feel that shared passion in every conversation.”

The chosen projects will be showcased in person on November 20 and 21 at Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event. Our Works in Progress audience includes professional buyers, festival programmers, film financiers, and sales agents. After the pitch, projects will also be available to watch online, opening the door to an even wider network of audiovisual industry professionals. The Just Film Works in Progress projects will be also viewable at Festival Scope platform.

The Best Projects in Baltic Event and International Works in Progress sections will receive an award by full-service sound post-production house Studio Beep, including 6000 euros worth of services by Studio Beep, together with a 1000 euros travel allowance. The Just Film Works in Progress winner will be awarded a monetary prize of 1000 euros, designated for marketing purposes.

Works in Progress in Tallinn has previously showcased films that have premiered in leading film festivals worldwide.

The deadline for submitting the project and supplementary materials is 15 September 2025.
