These winners were decided by an international fiction jury, including Tina Trapp, CEO of European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs (EAVE), Rita Meher, Executive Director of Tasveer Film Festival, and Bejon Vinod, founder of FAEM. Judging the non-fiction entries were the Against the Tide filmmaker Sarvnik Kaur, Mathieu Béjot and Mehr.

Céline Loop, ProducerLAND’s programme director, reflected on the event’s significance, saying that the team believes international collaboration is about “far more” than financing. “It strengthens creative economies, expands the movement of stories, and creates lasting partnerships between producers across borders.”

She believes that is what pushes Industry Days to bring together not just ambitious projects but also partners who can help shape the future of these films. “We believe this work is most meaningful when producers, markets, funders, broadcasters, festivals, and industry leaders build together, not in isolation,” she concluded.
