Berlinale Co-Production Market<\/a> is set to hold its 23rd edition from 14\u201317 February 2026, once again positioning itself as a key launchpad for ambitious international co-productions. This year\u2019s selection comprises 35 feature-film projects from 27 countries, chosen from a record-breaking 390 submissions. The market will take place primarily at the Atrium Tower of the Berlinale Service Center, adjacent to the Berlinale Palast, with the clear goal of connecting producers with international partners to bring these films to fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWomen direct 16 of the 35 selected projects, underscoring the market\u2019s continued commitment to diversity and gender balance. According to Martina Bleis, head of the Berlinale Co-Production Market, genre cinema plays a particularly prominent role this year, with horror \u2013 especially body horror \u2013 emerging as a powerful narrative vehicle for political and psychological themes. Alongside genre projects, the line-up also features arthouse animation, dramas, thrillers, action films and comedies, with recurring motifs including family models, gender-based violence, identity and self-determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the officially selected projects are already partially financed films backed by renowned international production companies and multiple award-winning filmmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
