    SKOPJE: The North Macedonia Film Agency will present the latest Macedonian films at the 74th Film Market in Cannes, at the South-East European Pavilion no. 133, traditionally visited by a large number of guests and professionals from the film industry, representatives of national film centres and agencies.

    A Macedonian film has entered the Cannes Short Films Competition for the first time. The film North Pole / Severen pol directed by Marija Apchevska and produced by Macedonian Kino Oko and Serbian Servia Film, will be presented on 16 July 2021 in the running for the 2021 Short Film Palme d’Or. North Pole tells the story of Margo, a 16 year-old girl who feels isolated among her peers but believes she will fit in better if she loses her virginity.

    The Agency will present two features at the virtual film market, as well as the latest catalogue with all the new film projects from 2020 and 2021, and films in development.

    Here is a sneak peek of what is Macedonian at the Marché du Film this year!
