The new director of coco Marjorie Bendeck makes a statement for the 20th edition, as 15 out of the 19 projects presented in both sections are helmed by a female producer and/or a female director, and more than half of the narratives centre around a bold female protagonist. Thematically, the exploration of family relationships as well as immigration and its many repercussions are common threads throughout the lineup and are dealt with in varied contexts.

Producers, sales agents, commissioning editors and other industry representatives active in East-West European co-production can apply without a project by 5 October 2018.
