Mignon, which participated in Agora Works in Progress, won the €10,000 Onassis Film Award and the €3,000 AGORA Works in Progress Award by EKKOMED. These awards support the project as it moves toward completion.
In the same section, the €2,000 ERT Agora Works in Progress award went to Avanos, directed by Panagiotis Charamis. In the Crossroads Co-production Forum, the €3,000 Finos Film award for a Greek project went to Koukitsa, directed by Christina Koutsospyrou and Aran Hughes and produced by Jacob Moe.
The Agora supports film projects in development and films approaching completion through cash prizes and services. These results concern its industry programmes and are separate from the Alexanders and other awards in the festival’s main competitive sections.
